@Theholisticpsyc There is fear behind a lie 100% of the time

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

Let's say you ARE "overreacting."

So?

You're having the reaction you are for a REASON-- & it's not gonna help to just tell your nervous system that it's "wrong" & to calm the hell down.

I don't know what "overreacting" means. We have REACTIONS, & we need to understand them.

The journey…

Spot on 💚

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Many people have trust issues because they grew up watching an adult be one person in public and a completely different person at home.

[OM At Home @OMatHomeAPP]

Listen until they feel UNDERSTOOD 💚

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Emotional rock bottom has lessons. Breaking down hurts, and it's also the beginning of rebuilding. Take a deep breath and remember who you are.

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

As an autistic person, I often feel like I owe people something, because I’m so used to feeling like I’m falling short. I feel I owe people time, energy, clarity, support, humour, fun, and many other things that they expect but that I don’t always have the energy to give to them.

[OM At Home @OMatHomeAPP]

Yes be aware of this 💚

[Aim True (Amy Pagett) @AimTrue7]

For trauma survivors there can be a fear of success.

Successful people are seen and heard and the trauma response of staying small feels much safer.

Embracing the life you want involves slowly letting go of old beliefs & conditioning.

I've been binge watching the series #couplestherapy. It gives great insight into couples work. But I tell you what. It really exposes the yawning gap between "trauma informed" and "domestic abuse informed" and makes it very clear why ordinary couple therapy isn't for survivors

Yes… you do not HAVE to forgive

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

You don't have to forgive anyone you don't wanna and you don't have to forget anything you don't wanna.

"Yeah, but..."

Nah, no "but." You don't have to forgive anyone you don't wanna and you don't have to forget anything you don't wanna.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When a man speaks assertively, people trust him: he's confident. When a woman does it, men dislike her: she's a bitch.

It’s outrageous that women have to tame their tongues to protect fragile egos.

Don't punish women for challenging stereotypes. Challenge the stereotypes.

Yes we need to push through the awkwardness of giving compassion to the kid we once were 💚

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

In trauma recovery we start paying attention to & extending compassion toward the kid we once were, who never got that attention & compassion back then.

That can feel awkward, even scary-- like we're gonna be "in trouble" for being anything BUT mean to that kid.

Easy does it.

My best is always enough

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

Lots of trauma survivors live in this, like, CONSTANT state of embarrassment, forever cringing inside & judging the sh*t out of ourselves-- for ANYTHING & EVERYHING.

I know. But pause the tape; breathe INTO the feeling; & be NICE to yourself in this moment.

Reconditioning.

[Idil Ahmed @idillionaire]

Trust your timing.

Your mental reality is shifting and soon your outer reality will match your internal state. Be patient with yourself. We're so stressed out these days, because we believe everything needs to happen right now. We forget that everything happens in perfect timing. We always want everything to happen instantly. If we don't see anything changing on the outside, we start to lose faith in the power to manifest our reality. We even might start doubting if it's even real or possible.

You can't plant the seed and instantly pull it out to see if anything is growing. Your role now is to water the thoughts, habits, and beliefs you want to manifest externally. Soon you will see what you've planted come into fruition. We have to be more patient and more trusting as we are doing the inner work. You are making a lot of changes in your life and the energy of your mind, body, and soul is shifting to a higher frequency to align you to new experiences, new habits, new people, new energy, and a whole new mindset.

Everything will suddenly change for you. It will all happen. However, your number one focus right now is to continue making the changes and don't give up on yourself. Keep watering your seed. Give yourself the space you need to reconnect with inner-self. Keep reminding yourself why you even wanted to change in the first place.

Deep down within your soul you knew you deserved more out of life than what you used to settle for. Now that you're going to be more patient, you'll be allowing the work to be done through you and for you. Soon you will notice the results of your efforts. You will see how powerful you are. You will notice that you have the ability to fully transform your life. Give yourself credit right now. You're on a beautiful journey.

AFFIRM: I TRUST MY TIMING! This affirmation will bring you ease, strengthen your faith, fill you up with energy, and make you start receiving right away! ✨💛✨

Read this twice 💯💯💯

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

No relationship can heal when responsibility is called blame.

[OM At Home @OMatHomeAPP]

You are enough 💚

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Hypervigilance is a trauma response where you’re constantly on guard, fear abandonment, and always believe someone is upset with you.

It’s the body is protection mode.

[OM At Home @OMatHomeAPP]

Awareness is key 💚

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

Abusers go to great lengths to remind you of the good things they’ve done for you when you begin to hold them accountable. If they won’t acknowledge the ways they’ve hurt you, you don’t need to acknowledge the ways they think they’ve loved you.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

In the 1980s, Bill Gates began an annual tradition called the Think Week.

He would seclude himself and spend an entire week dedicated to reading, learning, and thinking.

The Think *Day* is my adaptation:

Pick one day each month (or quarter) to step back from all of your day-to-day professional demands.

The goal is to spend the entire day reading, learning, journaling, and THINKING.

Six thinking question prompts I have found useful (that you should steal!):

1. What are your strongest beliefs? What would it take for you to change your mind on them?

2. What are a few things that you know now that you wish you knew 5 years ago?

3. How can you do less, but better?

4. Are you hunting antelope (big important problems) or field mice (small urgent problems)?

5. What actions were you engaged in 5 years ago that you cringe at today? What actions are you engaged in today that you will cringe at in 5 years?

6. What would your 80-year-old self say about your decisions today?

The Think Day changed my life. Give it a shot and let me know what you think.
