@Hozier My uncle and I wanted to go to your show in Portland, OR. Can’t because the tickets are like 3x what they originally cost

If you grew up walking on eggshells, there’s a chance you’re an over-achiever, highly anxious, or feel like you need to be perfect.

Here’s why:

@doomscroll_bot Shit, I forgot 😬

Emotional incest happens when a parent looks to a child for an emotional support that normally comes from another adult.

Here's the impact:

Do you have conversations with "voices" in your mind?

Here's some common things people experience and rarely talk about:

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Are you an over-achiever, workaholic, or someone who looks like you're doing well, but you're shut down emotionally and feel like life is passing you by?

Your body might be in functional freeze:

[Rach @AdultingADHD @AdultingADHD]

Treating ADHD by meds, coaching or coping tools doesn’t mean you’ll be ‘cured’. Yes you’ll probably see major improvements compared to when you were undiagnosed/didn’t have access to treatments, but you may have days that are a complete struggle, don’t be too hard on yourself

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

It's better to be silent in the face of someone sharing their pain, than to offer shallow platitudes that give further responsibility. No one hurting needs projections about time healing their wounds, leaving it in the past, or seeing how others have it worst. They need respect

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

You won’t be over it, until your nervous system can regulate it. You won’t move on, until your body feels safe to. You won’t “just think positive” until your thoughts have been affirmed & you are able to heal. If it’s not trauma informed, it’s not meant to heal trauma.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

@Theholisticpsyc Another thread to save and bring up in my next one on one therapy session

Let's talk about growing up as the invisible child:

[Amy Roberto @AmyRobe05090822]

@HarlowDen @Theholisticpsyc The fact that you’re aware and able to acknowledge this is a huge step.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Sometimes people romanticize the beginning of a relationship and express they wish they could go back to that time because they don't like two truths about all healthy relationships:

1. They'll be boring at times
2. You need to work on yourself, regularly

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

A core sign of developmental trauma is a desire to make partners ‘prove’ their love to you because you don’t believe it’s possible for them to love you.

@WeatherJefe We went out to Mount Talbert and it was busy! Guess everyone had the same idea 😂
