Your pain may be too much for other people. That does not mean your pain is too much, they are bad, or you are bad. It might mean finding people with arms soft and wide enough to hold it. We are out there and waiting.

For some, the good news is that there are insiders and outsiders and they are the insiders. For others, the good news is that there are no outsiders.

#Emotion is more foundational to being alive & being human, than conscious thought. Emotions originate and are processed by neuroanatomical structures which are evolutionarily 'older' than thought-based structures. I'm sorry if you were told otherwise. #psychology #neuroscience

The idea of “responsibility” carries with it a measure of shame and obligation. Love, on the other hand, engages “responsible” action not in obligation but in joy.

For so many, emotions-a vital and neurobiologically significant process-have been shamed, misunderstood, & scary. Too many people were told to shove them down and shut them off because others didnt know what to do with them. You are allowed to feel. It may save your life to do so https://t.co/jqIvdnSUDM

“People disconnect from their emotional experience, afraid of being overwhelmed, humiliated, or revealed as inadequate by the force of feelings, only to pay the price later in depression, isolation, and anxiety” - Diana Fosha. #therapy #psychology #emotion #EmotionalIntelligence

If you were told to not feel, you were too dramatic, week, 'like a girl' or 'not man enough', those were outdated tropes based on others' fear of feeling. Please know you are not too much. #therapy #psychology #AEDP #emotion #feelings #neuroscience #Healing

“Grace is not given to make us something other than ourselves, but to make us radically ourselves. Grace is not given to implant in us a foreign wisdom, but to make us alive to the wisdom that was born with us in our mother’s womb.”

"I used to believe there was some line between what is sacred and common, miraculous and mundane. My perspective had to shift to see that actually all of the bushes are burning, the entire world is ablaze." #TheMostBeautifulThingIveSeen

You are made of love. Might as well act like it.

"We do not all have to agree that there is a divine energy, a piece of something/someone sacred dwelling in our bodies, but I imagine that if we lived as if this were true, it could change everything." #MothersDaughtersAndBodyImage
