I need more information about mast cell activation. The constellation of illnesses I have feel 100% connected but are all treated by the system as separate

Trauma can make friendships difficult. It can feel like trying to find the balance between being “too needy” and “building walls”in service of protection.

If as a child you were viewed as “too much” it’s difficult to take up space in a relationship.

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

If, growing up, the only true safety we experienced was in our imagination or fantasy worlds created by authors or directors, it's not exactly surprising we have trouble staying present as adults.

Dissociation is a reflexive, conditioned response to a pervasive lack of safety.

[Brandi Morin @Songstress28]

It’s Truth & Reconciliation month in Canada. The truth is ugly, uncomfortable and dangerous- dangerous to the status quo. But, the outcomes we’re striving for are healing and beautiful. We aren’t finished going through the storm of reckoning, but at least we’re facing it. Keep holding on to hope. 💕🙏🏾

[Dr. Jen Wolkin | ADHD + Trauma Therapist @drjenwolkin]

You are not a constellation of bad memories and heartbreak. Your life is not the mirror to a darkened sky. You are so much more than your trauma, and the limiting beliefs written on your heart. You are a universe of infinite possibility. Pain and Joy can co-exist in the same galaxy.

[Rakhi Pancholi @pancholi_rakhi]

How many students are in your child’s class this year?

How many should be?

We know class sizes matter.

That’s why we’re asking parents and teachers to fill out our survey.

Because we can do better for our kids.

For many people, a sense of identity comes from their work. What happens when all of that goes away? @nytdavidbrooks reports on the older adults offering a new vision of what makes a good life:

We knew that after the legalization of same-sex marriage, they would come after our schools.

If you want to control the future of society, you start by censoring what students learn in schools. The children of today will become our leaders of tomorrow. #cdnpoli 1/5

[Dr. Kristopher Wells @KristopherWells]

There are literally no educators, psychologists, or health professionals who support these anti-2SLGBTQ+ policies.

These policies increase risk and create unsafe school environments for vulnerable students.

Ask what is the real motivation behind these policies…? #cdnpoli

Stop buying smile cookies from the coffee place, just donate directly to the org.

Stop buying happy meals from the clown place, donate directly to the org.

Stop adding two dollars to your grocery order so the corporation can get a tax break, donate directly to the org.

She might win the internet with this, and honestly she deserves it.

Today, we celebrate the extraordinary talent of Bill Watterson on his 65th birthday! The legacy of Calvin & Hobbes lives on, reminding us to embrace our inner child,explore our imaginations and find beauty in the simplest moments. Here’s to the magic you’ve shared with the world!

[Kayleigh Donaldson @Ceilidhann]

I'm reminded of this Bustle piece from earlier this year that noted how misuse of tools learned from therapy can be extremely hurtful or just downright stupid to those on the receiving end.

I’m so proud of this company (former students!)

[Leah McElrath @leahmcelrath]

As a woman, I admit that I find these period-pain simulator videos rather gratifying.

(And kudos to the men who participate and are honest about their experiences!)

This IMO is the most important tweet by one of the most important researchers of coercive control.

@BullStern @Theholisticpsyc I think you have no idea what chemical imbalances are involved in clinical depressions. It’s not all what you think

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

It's a particular kind of loneliness when the people who are SUPPOSED to understand us, SUPPOSED to have our back-- don't.

Complex trauma survivors know what it's like to feel OVERWHELMINGLY lonely in a household full of people who share our name & DNA.
