Diagnosing someone who can barely make ends meet in a job they hate is what made me question the psychology field. Of course they have anxiety or depression symptoms.

People can’t be well in survival mode.

It’s not the person who is sick, it’s the culture.

I love hearing “we, us, ours” like yessss I’m included??? You must care about me frfr 😭

The child raised in a chaotic environment becomes the adult addicted to their own stress hormones.

Why Stress Feels Good:

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Our nervous system can be more comfortable in familiar misery than it is unfamiliar fulfillment. As frustrating as it is, we have to let people choose. Not everyone wants to get better. Not everyone wants to leave their familiar.

If you like skinny girls, get you a skinny girl. If you like big girls, get you a big girl. If you like fit girls, get you a fit girl. You’re entitled to your preferences. But what you’re not gonna do is date a girl who’s not your type and make her feel inferior to other girls

if they come back.. don’t forget how they left

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Hypervigilance is a trauma response where you’re constantly on guard, fear abandonment, and always believe someone is upset with you.

It’s the body is protection mode.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Do not engage with someone giving the silent treatment. Silent treatment is a form of manipulation to control another person. Allow them to be silent. Don’t beg to be spoken to. When they return, let them know you won’t tolerate your existence being denied.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

You want closeness and your partner needs time alone.

How This Relationship Can Actually Work:

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

When we're raised in homes with highly emotionally reactive parents, we learn peace can't be trusted.

An explosion is always around the corner.

Here's To Teach Your Body Peace and Stillness:

You’re in freeze.

Thinking about getting up but can’t move.

Scrolling while thinking about chores.

Wanting food but can’t get to the kitchen.

Freeze is an immobilization state of the dorsal vagal nervous system branch.

Your body’s fighting to survive.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Abandonment wounds will have you ghosting, avoiding, and clinging.

Your body will feel physical pain over people you aren’t even emotionally connected with.

You’ll run from people you are connected with.

Heal your wounds and learn love beyond survival.

this is giving “i’m dating a man with a baby mama and i’m jealous he cares about her”

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

You're slowly leaving survival mode.

Here's what to expect:
