24.01.2022 Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated Confucius

23.01.2022 Most of us, at some point, exist within survival mode. The trauma brain in a cycle of cyclical fear based thoughts + a the body has a nervous system thats cons...istently dysregulated. In survival mode, we do all sorts of things that arent actually us. Theyre valid responses + copying mechanisms that come from a lack of internal security. As we awaken, were become more aware of our patterns. Of all the things we dont want to look at. Its feels scary + brings up a ton of shame especially if we were raised by people who shamed themselves. Most of us grew up in homes where quiet self shaming was so common it was seemingly normal. So, we might have a ton of ego stories running through our mind. Telling us were bad, wrong, or any other critical thing about ourselves. The ego loves to exist in the past. These are just stories. Just practiced beliefs. Just a lens from our past, existing in the present. How do you practice forgiving yourself? #selfhealers

22.01.2022 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, thats in me too become conscious #selfhealers See more

20.01.2022 Before you start the week reminders.

20.01.2022 Wise Words As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or a $30.00 watch - - they both tell the same time. Whether we carry a $30...0 or a $30.00 wallet/handbag - - the amount of money inside is the same. Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $10 wine - - the hangover is the same. Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3000 sq. ft. - - loneliness is the same. You will realize, your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world. Therefore, I hope you realize, when you have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, who you chat with, laugh with, talk with, have sung songs with, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven and earth - - That is true happiness!! SIX UNDENIABLE FACTS OF LIFE: 1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be Happy. So when they grow up they will know the value of things not the price. 2: Best awarded words: "Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food." 3: The One who loves you will never leave you because even if there are 100 reasons to give up he or she will find one reason to hold on. 4: There is a big difference between a human being and being human. Only a few really understand it. 5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, You have to manage! 6: If you just want to Walk Fast, Walk Alone! But if you want to Walk Far, Walk Together! SIX BEST DOCTORS IN THE WORLD: 1. Sunlight 2. Rest 3. Exercise 4. Diet 5. Self Confidence and 6. Friends/Family Maintain them in all stages of Life and enjoy a healthy life. The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. Please copy and paste instead of sharing!

18.01.2022 Merry Christmas

17.01.2022 It’s a hard job being a carer.. but these suggestions might help

15.01.2022 I spent a majority of my life trying to control how life happened around me. I wasn’t even aware of it. It’s not surprising I always felt drained + burnt out. I...t’s not surprising I felt resentment in many of my relationships. We cannot control anything outside of ourselves. Though most of still attempt to, as a way to stay safe. Our true power comes from personal responsibility. This surrender creates self confidence + allows us to show up as the highest version of ourselves. How would it feel if you didn’t attempt to control the world around you and instead focused on how YOU respond to the world #selfhealers

15.01.2022 Thanks Natty! Happy Friday!

14.01.2022 I remember the first time someone sheepishly said, I didn’t even know what boundaries were. I smiled. Neither did I. Even as a practicing psychologist, I didn...’t fully understand how to set them. Or if I even could set them. Just the thought of them sent a chill down my codependent spine. Then, I started practicing. I began speaking my limits. I witnessed people close to me become reactive, or just completely ignore my boundaries. Just the process of setting boundaries can give you eye opening insights into the dynamics of your relationships. Healthy people set + hold boundaries. They demonstrate self love + self worth by compassionately + objectively speaking them. When someone sets a boundary with them, they honor the other persons limits. Boundaries are the foundation of healthy relationships. For many with unresolved trauma, boundaries feel like abandonment. It’s important to understand that you’re not responsible for the emotional state of others. How a person reacts to a boundary, is for them. How you respond to that reaction is for you. You always have choice. What is your BIGGEST struggle with boundaries? #selfhealers

14.01.2022 The "Cuddle Your Kids" Challenge is the type of wholesome content we all need. <3

13.01.2022 I didn't write this, but I feel its important to share. For the exhausted woman who showers a few minutes longer to cry with the water... For the person hidden ...in the bathroom, because she needs a few minutes of tranquility while slipping tears from her eyes. For the woman who is so tired that she feels she can't continue, that she would give anything to feel like herself again... For the woman who cries in her room when everyone leaves the house and for a moment she let's go... For the woman who desperately battles with self Confidence when wearing denim pants because she wants to look pretty and wear them to feel better but everything just climbs over or can't close... For the woman who orders pizza for dinner because she didn’t have the time to make dinner again as she expected... Because she's tired. For the woman who feels alone, even when she's accompanied. You're worth a lot. You are important. You are enough. You are wonderful... I love you... PLEASE SHARE This post might just save a life.

12.01.2022 Trauma is stored in the body. It impacts the nervous system. Our bodies enter hyper vigilant states where we actually feel threatened our the body with racing h...earts, sweaty palms, shallow breathing, + feeling like we might faint. For others (like me) we enter shut down modesor dissociation. This looks like being present physically, but mentally detached. Often dissociation creates lack of or loss of memory. In my case, I have almost no childhood memories. I remember before I began my own healing journey, I found it heart to laugh. I didnt think much was funny. I rarely felt hopeful or optimistic. And later, I realized I did have trouble authentically connecting (beyond surface level connections or mutual complaining) with other people. This is how unresolved trauma manifests. When our nervous system is dysregulated we cannot access security. When we dont have security, we cant access higher brain states of creativity, humor, + connection. Our mind + body are on alert, protecting us against threats. When we are threatened, we even misinterpret facial expressions. Neutral facial expressions become anger. The way we relate to the world around us completely changes. Ive used many mind-body techniques daily for years to heal my own nervous system. Yoga + breathwork are two of my favorites. Re-learning safety in the body is a journey. Do you feel grounded, safe, + secure in your body? OR do you feel shut down, avoidant, or fearful? #selfhealers

11.01.2022 Be a student of your patterns. A student of your unconscious habit reactions. Be the conscious observer of when your emotional reactivity is at its highest. Wha...t we carry from our past comes up over + over to be healed. Can you witness it with curiosity? Can you ask yourself why do I feel this? Can you trust the process + wait for the answers? They will come #selfhealers See more

10.01.2022 Codependency is a learned pattern of chronic neglect of self in order to gain love, approval, or validation. We learn this pattern as children through our earli...est attachments (relationships) with parents. If we experience emotional neglect, if we arent seen, heard, + allowed to uniquely express ourselves, we develop a core spiritual wound. We develop a lack of connection with our true self. This lack of connection with self causes us to desperately seek our sense of self through others. We become obsessive about romantic partners. Their behavior. What it means. And many of us unconsciously seek to change our partners. To get them to see us. To get them to finally choose us just as we did as children because we had no choice. At the core of codependency is a deep fear of abandonment. Many people connect codependency with substance abuse. This can absolutely be the case, but the most common addiction within codependency is an emotional addiction. The highs and the lows. The cycles of rejection then being chosen. The powerful chemical cocktail of stress hormones running through the body as our adult attachments activate the trauma body memory of unresolved childhood attachments. Codependency isnt a bad thing. Its nothing to be ashamed of, its something to become curious about. We can unlearn the patterns of codependency + begin to develop interdependent relationships where we have secure attachments with others while also having self autonomy. Healing from codependency is an act of deep spiritual healing where we learn to restore self trust (through keeping small promises) + honor our own needs, boundaries, + freedom #selfhealers

10.01.2022 Almost my entire adult life I didnt have boundaries. I didnt know what they were, how to set them, + had such fear around how people would respond. Boundaries... werent something I was ever modeled. I didnt see adults having clear limits. I didnt see them honoring their time or emotional states. Boundaries are a major part of the healing journey. So many of us dont have them, or had people consciously or unconsciously violate them. Beginning to practice boundaries is a spiritual process. It allows us to return to what we had as children: a clear connection between us + someone else. As you begin this process it will feel scary. It will feel overwhelming guilt. Especially if youve been raised in codependency which causes a false belief that youre responsible for the emotional states of others. Emotionally well people understand, honor, + respect the boundaries of others. The more we practice boundary setting, the more we can show up from a space of authenticity rather that obligation obligation that always leads to resentment. Have you started practicing boundaries? How does it feel? #selfhealers
