Reminder ππ So many of us are unlearning talk of "good" or "bad" foods, but food doesn't have morality. What tastes yummy, what makes you smile (hello, ice cream on a hot dayπ¦), what sounds good...there are no rules!

The best way to provide culture-sensitive care is ensure that our clients can see themselves and their experiences reflected in their care providers. It's why we have a diverse staff of care providers from all backgrounds. π
Studies have shown that mental health treatments are more effective when care providers are able to demonstrate cultural competence. For that reason, BIPOC patients are often looking to work with a care provider who understands their experience. That's why representation matters.
Regardless of age/culture/identity, therapy is a healthy, beneficial practice that gives us some outside perspective (which we all need). The right therapist will always create a safe space for you, work to build trust, & be respectful of your background & personal experiences.
Body NEUTRALITY should be our goal. You don't need to love everything about your body. It's about recognizing that your body is, well, a body. It contains all your vital organs and helps you do all kinds of things in your life, but it doesn't have any power over your identity.
Start practicing kindness on yourself through small, daily acts of self-compassion. If you're feeling down on yourself in the morning, acknowledge those feelings and find something kind to say to yourself as well. Try to reframe negative observations to remove their sting.
First of all, stress is normal. Everybody experiences stress on some level and it doesnβt mean thereβs something wrong with you. The important thing is to take steps to relieve stress so it doesnβt take a toll on your mind and body.
