*Healing with Horses: An Experiential Workshop* is a unique collaboration between horses and humans. No previous horse experience needed. This workshop does not involve riding horses and all activities will take place on the ground.

Chelsea Green, MA, LPC, utilizes her clinical experience as a couples and family therapist, an equine professional trained in systemic constellations (also called family constellations), and 12+ years of mindfulness meditation and group facilitation to curate an engaging and grounded exploration of what it means to be in healthy relationship.

Please do not feed the fears.

In a sentence, this is what algorithmic social media has been for me. A fear-feeder and fear-breeder, amplifying click-bait and shifting my worldview away from my lived experience and toward a scarier and more separated world.

I believe it is necessary to bear witness to the injustices and hardships of the world - but it is also necessary to not get stuck there because what we give our attention to grows.

So, what wants to grow?

This is the title of my latest Substack published today -- Check it out below and lean into some generative questions for re-focusing and re-imagining! 🌼

My life is so full, I tell myself instead of "I'm so busy". Tho both statements are true.

I've got a full-fledged front yard garden and many different beings under my care. I'm a partner, and a friend, sister, aunt, daughter, and granddaughter. I'm a business owner, a space-holder, organizer, disruptor, content manager, campaign marketing manager, and an artist.

I say all this to preface an announcement (unoriginal as it is to make an announcement of such things)... that I am stepping away from algorithmic-based social media in the coming weeks.

I'm already taking tangible steps to spend my time and energy on these platforms differently. And I want you to be able to get of off here more too. 👋

Let's be honest. These platforms are hijacking our attention and keeping us from tending to our lives away from screens. For the last decade, they've consumed me too. But I feel the stakes are higher than they've ever been for us to reclaim our attention - and our lives. So, if you want to stay in touch, here's how you can keep up with my ongoing projects IRL...

First, subscribe to my Substack where I'm writing more intentionally and sharing about our collective times and the work I'm doing at Fauna Forest Farm in Jonesborough, TN -- chelseagreen.substack.com

Second, turn *on* your notifications for my posts and stories so you don't miss when I do share something 📲 The algorithms don't amplify creators who aren't posting at least three times a day -- and I don't have time to be playing by those rules. 😬

Third, visit my website at www.anubeginningtherapy.com for more information about my current offerings, upcoming workshops, nature-based events, the monthly Climate Cafe and more!

Last but not least, I can't express my gratitude for the connections and relationships I've built on these platforms over the years and I hope to continue watching them grow in meaningful ways. Don't hesitate to be in touch!

It was a hard pill to swallow... learning that the world of mental health is not actually about getting well.

Modern day mental health training and treatment is about helping people remain in broken systems. Systems which capitalize on our labor, convince us of our lack of worth, and extract our time, energy, and resources.

Therapists and psychiatrists, in general, are expected to improve a person's ability to *cope better* with broken systems. Political, social, and economic systems which create unlivable wages, lack social support, perpetuate toxic norms, and hold hierarchies and power structures in place.

"To care for yourself is to overturn oppressive systems" - Anisa Makhoul

I'm not in this field to help corporations, billionaires, or fossil-fuel executives thrive.
I became a therapist to help people - and the planet - thrive. Getting to 'thriving' when all you've known is 'surviving' takes time and support and I believe this is the right role of mental health practitioners.

I'm convinced there are 8 billion and one ways to live that are more loving, more gracious, and more regenerative than what most of us have accepted as normal. And it's up to each of us to discover what a more well world looks like -- and then we must lean courageously into that.

Stay open to the wisdom of anger...

In psychology spaces, we talk about healthy anger as a protective emotion that helps us communicate boundaries and keep ourselves and others safe.

If we're shutting down our anger... are we able to keep ourselves safe? And if we're shutting down our protective rage, are we able to find the motivation and courage to defend our lives and the planet we live on?

Who does it serve when we quiet our justified anger?

Who benefits from our suppressed rage?

To be clear, this is not about condoning violence or promoting harm. It is about using healthy anger, which sets limits and enforces self-respecting boundaries with skills of a compassionate leader. Healthy anger is non-violent, and non-escalatory. It's concerned for the well-being of all.

So, I hope you feel it. I hope you share it with your kind words and your courage.
I hope you let it move you and inspire others.
I hope you fight for a better future for all.
