It’s hard for people who’ve gone through childhood trauma to understand their own capacity. They give more than they have because they don’t know other options. This is rooted in them being neglected when they needed care. Healing is in accepting you don’t owe what you don’t have

It’s possible to get to the point that you’re able to notice your anxiety coming up in real time, recognize when you're reacting to a history and not only this present circumstance, reduce the intensity of that anxiety, and talk yourself through it. #ActuallyAutistic #Anxiety

Sometimes the anxiety you feel is your healthiest, authentic self colliding with the inauthenticity around you.

My perception of self was formed through the eyes of non-Autistic society and hating myself was the norm until I found other Autistic people.
It has to be.
Some causes of mental illness relate to chronic stress. Often we live in a state of constant stress and default to behaviours such as comfort eating, alcohol, avoidance etc. to bring temporary relief. These being secondary effects such that impact physical health, work…

591 Followers 1K Following All the archetypes bleed into one breath healing her lifetime of pain. Singing to all stones hidden in flesh 🕯️It's not weird to hope for or look forward to the absence of an abuser from your life-- & it's not the same as wishing someone dead. It's normal for trauma survivors to think w/ relief about never again having to interact w/ someone who hurt them. You're not a terrible person.
There's no universally "right" or "wrong" decision when it comes to interacting w/, or even forgiving, people who caused us pain in the past. What's important to our trauma recovery is that we have a meaningful choice.
The future of humanity is consciousness. If not, we're screwed.
I received more likes on another page than on any of my posts. I know, who cares? I simply stated that women who choose or not choose to have kids is okay and acceptable. I don't have kids and I am in my early 50's and that is something I am glad for. I know there are the ones…
Trauma survivors often do this thing where we ask for less help than we actually need-- yet we feel asking for ANY help at all is "too much." So we walk around lacking basic resources & support-- but at the same time feeling needy & burdensome. The f*ck?
It's Friday so I've got microwave chicken burger, oven fries and coleslaw. They had no beef burgers in Aldi so I've settled for chicken
On my flight earlier today, I believe I helped a man start his healing journey. He's been thinking about it, but at the end of the flight he thanked me and said he thought it was kismet that we met and that he was going to start by reading The Body Keeps The Score. So great!!!!
A broken bone set incorrectly gets worse w/ time. An infection treated w/ the wrong medicine gets worse w/ time. And trauma that is not validated & processed overtakes our life & personalty over time. Survivors know: it's not as simple as "time heals."
I'm in the garden and it's definitely warmer. Everything is growing like mad, hopefully I can get stuff out of the greenhouse soon. #gardeningTwitter #gardening
My view today from my art room. Just look at that lovely sunshine. We just need a warm wind and it will be perfect, and I could open the doors 😊
sometimes i listen to music from that time. it brings up those feelings and it feels real to me again. that whole experience was real but when you are on other side of it, it’s hard not to wonder what all of that was. and i feel i have words now. it was meeting myself.
There are therapist social media accounts that daily throw temper tantrums that the psychotherapy paradigm has broadened to include modalities they don't like or practice, & the profession requires them to do things they don't feel like doing. It's embarrassing.
@DrDoyleSays It's vital for therapists to adapt and grow with their profession. Diversity in modalities enriches therapy for diverse clients.
Walk away from people who think you're boring, arguing or crazy every time you try to express yourself.
Autism is not a mental illness. What behaviour issues do I have? Trauma responses are not a choice and with autism the anxiety or depression is a trauma response. There’s no therapy for autism. Masking is because the rest of society doesn’t like autistic traits so we hide.
Again, no ones issue, but your own... The treatment for behavior issues is therapy. If you can't handle your own emotional state and your own mental health with a diagnosis, you need to be institutionalized or have 24/7 care. It is not the rest of the world's job to cater to…
Who knows what this is off the Northumberland coast? Obviously it's so difficult to see through the smog and grime of the north but come on, give it a go 😁
