@elmo These responses are why I gave up family medicine to focus on #trauma. The world is suffering and people are finally talking about it. Join me on ⏰ as tiktoktraumadoc or check out @ModernTrauma for an explanation and solutions.

Sold >130 copies at the Boston Trauma conference. The buzz was ecstatic. If we could tell someone about the book, >80% purchased. It’s filling a clear need - a gentle, nourishing book that has all the foundational knowledge and skills people need.

The Modern Trauma Toolkit is intersectional and accessible - which many books about mental health fail to accomplish. Have you pre-orders yet? https://t.co/M6SWf3z2y0 #trauma #stress #cPTSD #TherapistTwitter

@Lissarankin was a huge influence on my emergent career, learning more about the trauma in medical training and practice was a turning point. Very grateful for her endorsement of https://t.co/M6SWf3z2y0

Before sharing, I will adamantly state that I do not owe anyone this private experience. I'm sharing it in the event that it would validate others or encourage folks to not be passive bystanders to any abuse in on or offline. I'd also ask that white readers not fetishize this: 1/

Some practices I share are imagining leaves floating in a river or clouds in the sky. Label each as an emotion and notice it flow by. We all experience the wide range - this is normal. What’s less normal is to get caught up in a cloud or to be a leaf twisting in an eddy.

[Christy Gibson @ModernTrauma]

One thing I always find helpful in therapy is to suggest saying “There is (emotion)… ” rather than “I am (emotion)… ” Because the more you identify as being this emotion, the higher likelihood it could get stuck. A 🧵

[Christy Gibson @ModernTrauma]

The key is to make sure the emotion doesn’t become your sense of identity “a sad person” rather than simply being “a person experiencing sadness.” Emotions last 90 seconds on average - so the practice is learning how to let them flow. It’s common to get stuck for a time.
