25.01.2022 That is how it was!!

24.01.2022 Judgment is a coping mechanism. The more we witness our own shadow, our own flaws, our own ‘negative’ patterns of our behaviorthe less we project them onto oth...er people in an ego attempt to feel safe or superior. We all have our stuff. People who witness their own shame, can see the humanity in those around them. People who witness their own judgements + say yep, that’s in me too become conscious #selfhealers See more

09.01.2022 Your value as a person isn't earned; it isn't conditional; it can't be added to or subtracted from. Your essential worth is neither greater nor lesser than that of any other human being. It can't be. Self-esteem is about being, not doing. You have worth simply because you're alive.

03.01.2022 "Beneath every behaviour there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is a need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behaviour, we begin to deal with the cause not the symptom." Ashleigh Warner #neurochild #socialemotionallearning #needs

02.01.2022 Addiction is greatly misunderstood. We’ve been conditioned to believe people are addicts. Having an addiction makes you diseased, disordered, + the word itsel...f carries so much shame. There’s also acceptable or even positive addictions: like chronic overworking/business/achieving + unacceptable ones: like drug addiction. Both have the same cycles. Addition is a valid attempt to regulate a dysregulated nervous system. It’s a coping mechanism. More often than not the addiction is not just necessarily to the substance or activity itself. The addiction is to certain emotional states + the nervous system activation that goes along with those states. Addiction is the adult unconsciously engaging in a helpless pattern self harm. Internalizing the cycle of childhood where they were once a victim. We repeat what we know. When I ran inpatient recovery units, I listened in groups as people retold the stories of their addiction. The excitement of the chase. The fear of being caught. The fight or flight. The usagebrings short lived relief. The shame cycle afterwards. The boredom + agitation that comes as the body pulls for the adrenaline + cortisol that makes a traumatized human feel alive or themselves. If you’re struggling with an addiction, acknowledge your inner child. Acknowledge that this cycle was learned before you were even conscious to it. Acknowledge that you’re not broken, you’re coping. And new coping mechanisms can be learned as old ones are unlearned. Addict: a human desperate to cope. If we knew the background story (hint: there’s always unresolved trauma) we would understand the behavior #selfhealers

02.01.2022 Yes great advice!
