I’m sorry that unfortunately this really does work … I’ve tested it for almost a year trying to prove to myself that it doesn’t 🤯

We love a therapeutic analogy over here 🙌🏼

09/11/2025

Trauma is anything that changes the way we see ourselves, the way we see others, and/or the way we see the world.
Trauma is not only what happens to you it’s also what you witness, what you learn of, what you hear about.
I truly believe we HAVE to make trauma training a core foundational part of the training of future therapists. We have to find a way to make it more accessible.
My heart is heavy this week. My heart goes out to all of my fellow therapists being human and finding ways to hold space for the collective traumas we are all experiencing together.
We’re all in this world together ♥️

Pat yourself on the back, you know how to do hard things!
It may not feel like a choice when the alternative choices have high consequences or don’t feel like good choices, but the reality is that there are always choices.
You are doing hard things, making hard choices, celebrate yourself and your drive today!
Your choice is also allowed to be staying in when you have access to that and honoring your needs 🫶🏼
Whatever it takes to survive today, I’m proud of us 🥳

Written for those going through the grief and those supporting and then those going through the trauma responses and those responding / supporting

I’ve been having a great time with my “Summer Pop-Ups”
This week tangibly we’re taking care of our minds by caring for our bodies nutritional needs together ♥️
Not sponsored by any of these products but I would NOT turn them down if their people called my people 😏
This is not meant to be nutritional advice this is information if you’d like to find more specialized advice I HIGHLY recommend looking for a nutritionist that specializes in brain health from a disordered eating informed approach 🌿
More info coming on this later this week on
