Trauma can be about what didn’t happen as much as what did.
The nervous system knows this and responds in turn.
So right now, with so much happening and a collective response that comes up short, of course your nervous system might be responding in turn.
You make sense.

How embarrassing to live in a country where calling for a ceasefire has become a radical act. A ceasefire. This is how far the center has moved to the right. All this country knows is war. The violence never ends.
We do not know more than our clients. We just know different things than our clients. I think this is true for even the most specialized specialists. And I think it would do us (and our clients) good to remember it.

Chronic pain doesn’t preclude you from being a healing practitioner.
Struggling doesn’t preclude you from being a healing practitioner.
Still healing doesn’t preclude you from being a healing practitioner.
Being human doesn’t preclude you from being a healing practitioner.

Anyone else feeling like the pandemic has forever altered their capacity, but life is exponentially more expensive and so they can’t work more, in fact, they can actually work less than usual, but they need the money as if they are working more? 😅😅

A haunted house but wait no actually, did you know I’m having a 20% off sale?
Ends at midnight.

A haunted house but it’s just a slew of business coaches promising 6 figures is as easy as high ticket offers only.
Why would a pharmacy not be open on the weekend? People experience mental illness and sickness on the weekends. Ask me how I know! 😜

The part of my brain that distills what I have to say into memes or sound bytes is deeply tired. But I do have something to share with you.
If you like what I share here, you might like my workshops, courses & guides.
And, til the 31st, they’re on sale.

Made this today and wanted to share. If other people’s healing methods don’t work for you, that’s okay. Keep looking for your medicine. 🦋🐍💙
Having one of those days where life feels relentless and so my self tending needs to be relentless, too.

Challenging, activating feelings do not always need to be downregulated.
Sometimes they need to be honored, felt and experienced.
