Who is your Piglet? 🥰

"Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh.

There was a pause.

"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.

"No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do."

"That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.

"What are you doing?" asked Pooh.

"Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either.

"But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh."

And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right."
Winnie the Pooh ~ A.A. Milne

Mindful love and hugs to those having a Difficult Day today and hope you have your own Piglet to sit beside you! 🙏💯💙🌞

“ All personality traits exist for a reason. Introversion, empathy, and high sensitivity are all valuable, advantageous traits. And the human species does best when we have a diverse population with many different perspectives.”

Does this resonate with you?

Although they share some similar traits, they're each different.

Having someone help you discover new ways to cope can be one of the most revolutionary things you do for your mental health.

If you've avoided recovery because giving up the only-ways-you-know-to-survive feels overwhelming, know that the goal of good therapy isn't "stopping certain behaviors" it's SO. MUCH. MORE. Good therapy helps us get curious about experimenting with new ways to cope, it helps us develop a wider catalog of ways to self soothe, it can help grow the ability to make mindful choices, and it teaches us to not shame spiral when we do choose to self-soothe in harmful ways.

Note that there *are* situations in which eliminating a negative coping skill is #1 priority in treatment in order to prevent imminent harm to self, other, or criminal justice implications (but even/especially then, good care is about replacing the behavior with therapy, support groups, or other care)
