I heard a therapist say, “Your feelings are always valid, your behavior is not.” She explained by saying feel what you feel BUT you need to be accountable for what you do as a result of those feelings.
Studying & learning yourself is so helpful. Document (journals, pictures, videos) your life so you can easily recognise specific patterns in yourself very quickly.
I can’t stress enough how unhealthy it is for women to be stressed all the time. It affects our physical and mental health. It affects our hormones. It alters a woman’s physical appearance. It alter a woman’s emotional state. It’s literally poison
Gentle Reminder: Kids aren’t born knowing how to “calm down”. Telling a child to calm without empathy and the tools for emotional regulation is invalidating. Regulation is a process that is taught and practiced over and over again until it is a skill.
