so you’re telling me, that this dude created beings and a world for them to live, bc he was lonely. but then they weren’t following his rules he made, even though he created them to be inherently evil, then he convinced some of them to stop acting on their base

Childhood trauma will have you begging to be loved by people who don’t even know how to love themselves.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Choose self awareness. A partner without it will subconsciously hold you responsible for their own insecurities, emotional triggers, and unmet childhood needs.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Mental health isn’t separate from physical health. Our immune system and nervous system are in direct communication with our brain. Treatment needs to involve nutrition, movement, and the building of secure relationships.

to whom this may concern;

it’s taking time but try not to let impatience ruin your harvest. let the sweetness that comes with alignment encourage you not to settle for less, give what needs to ripen as much time as it needs to come to fruition; your season is coming soon.

the ones most attached to older versions of you are always the ones who are most offended by your growth, but your evolution owes no one an apology, your emancipation doesn’t require explanations to be valid; your only responsibility is to bloom into the fullest version of you.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

You are not your survival brain.

Not the fear or the doom thoughts.

You are the powerful creator able to witness and choose.

Witness and choose.

This is the practice to creating a new life.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

If your first role as a child was to work around an adults temper, of course you have anxiety. You were protecting yourself when someone should have been protecting you.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Discipline can become a form of self abuse. Constantly pushing yourself. Shaming yourself. Only rewarding yourself when you’ve accomplished something sounds a lot like continuing an abusive childhood. Time to play, skip a day, and accomplish nothing matters.

We will be free to live our lives in our own way - free to love each other away from the people who can’t understand. We will go somewhere where they can never again take from us our right to live. Somewhere there is such a place, I’m sure.

Betrayal leaves emotional scars. There's grief and confusion. Shame become self blame. When people betray us, our sense of safety is completely shattered. Be patient as you re-build and recover.

[billy chapata. @iambrillyant]

applaud yourself for every single time you walked away from something that forced you to deprioritize your happiness. your angels and spirit guides celebrate in the background every time you choose you.

Do not buy into their system of censorship, imagining that if you drop this character or hide that emotion, you can slide through their blockades. Do not eat your heart out in the hope of pleasing them.

Many people who say their childhood was normal and they turned out fine are: using food or alcohol to numb, suffering in dysfunctional relationships, or are living double lives.

The first step in healing is acknowledgment of reality.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Just as it's important to communicate, it's important to know when to stop speaking. Ending a conversation when it's going in circles, when you know there won't be a resolution, or when someone's committed to misunderstanding you is self care.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Many of us were punished for talking back. We couldn't assert ourselves or express what we wanted. Now, when we're angry we just completely go silent. Our anger shuts us down because we never learned what to do with it.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Toxic relationships are a health risk. The chronic stress creates disease. It’s fascinating that we tell people to quit smoking or lose weight but ask nothing about who they share their life with.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Trauma isn’t an excuse. The behaviors that come from trauma can be very destructive and painful. We can’t expect people to tiptoe around our trauma or accept unsafe behavior. Our adult responsibility is to heal and to learn better ways to cope.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

As you mature emotionally, you’ll see most of it doesn’t have to do with you. People’s behavior reflects how they feel about themselves.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Authentic love is a spiritual experience where you heal old wounds and rewire the nervous system to safety after years of survival.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Everyone is emotionally unavailable at times. Don’t expect a single person to always be capable of supporting you emotionally. Different people can meet different needs and can be there for you when others can’t.
