Never underestimate the power of large groups of stupid people.

He was the worst POTUS in history.
Impeached twice.
Convicted felon.
Tried to stage a coup.
Sold state secrets.

But hey …at least he isn’t an intelligent Black woman.

For years I was completely detached from life.

I called it: being on my spaceship.

How I Got Out Of Dissociation:

I feel into a pattern of dissociating at a young age. I would look like I was there, but I was lost in my my mind. Numb. And a million miles away.

It wasn't until my partner said to me "are you really here?" when I realized my lack of presence was known.

I'd always wondered why I lacked memories.

I had almost no memories of my childhood and when friends brought up things I just couldn't remember the way they did.

At one point I thought I had a rare brain disorder (no joke.)

Finally, I started studying functional freeze. Most people have heard of fight or flight. Freeze when our body becomes dissociated to stay safe.

We're physically present but mentally gone.

Getting out of my dissociated state meant pattern interruptions. Getting out of autopilot...

I started a morning routine of journaling.

Next, I created a conscious check in. One time of day where I was fully in my body. Nothing all smells, sounds, and sensations around me. I had to teach myself it was safe to be in the moment. I still teach this 7 years later in @selfhealerscirc

Next, I prioritized sleep and nutrition. I put myself to bed really and woke up early. We're more likely dissociate when our body is low on resources. Which is why sleep and nutrition are key in healing this pattern.

If you dissociate, you're not alone. You do not have a disorder. Your body its trying to protect you.

You can come out of the frozen state and start to live again with small steps every day.

Retweet for awareness.

De Selby part 2 is out today 🖤

It follows its opening, to further explore and play with the themes of darkness in the context of connection; to self, to other and to sense of time and space. The two parts are some of my favourite songs on the album.

People are waking up to the reality that our emotional health matters. Burnout isn’t something to work through. Obsessive achievement feels empty. Deep relationships, intimate moments, and shared experiences are the future.

We want evolution.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Narcissistic traits come from our childhood developmental years. We need a secure childhood connection to develop a sense of self.

If:
- emotional needs weren’t met
-connections were unpredictable and chaotic
- a parent was ‘hands off’ and the child raised themselves
- a child became a parent to their parent (parentification)

.... a healthy sense of self can’t develop.

Narcissism is the lack of a healthy and full sense of self.

The traits will mirror traits found in children:
- emotional impulsivity
- emotional reactivity
- self centering
- inability to self reflect
- control/manipulation (an attempt to find safety)
- entitlement

Those with narcissistic traits are still stuck within early stages of childhood development.

Stunted emotionally, they use relationships to feel some sense of control to mask their internal chaos.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Don’t underestimate how comfortable misery is.

Even when people hate it, they know what to expect.

For the brain, this feels most safe.
