6 Truths About Mental Wellness:
1. No one can heal you. Therapists can guide you and it's on us to do the work.
2. You have to advocate for yourself. Research: C-PTSD, polyvagal theory, and attachment.
3. Most symptoms are survival adaptations. They were learned when you needed them to survive. They're a sign of resilience.
4. Nutrition is key. When the body lacks minerals and nutrients, it will show in symptoms.
5. Relationships create our health. Placing boundaries around unhealthy relationships is the first step.
6. Your body wants to heal. It needs sleep, quiet, and time to create/play. Take all actions to support this.

One of the best things I ever did was remove myself from people who thrive on chaos and drama. You don’t know how exhausting it is until you’re free from it. Your nervous system will thank you.
I immediately go silent when something upsets me. it's a coping mechanism I have developed over time. instead of expressing my anger or frustration, I simply withdraw and try to process my emotions in private. I prefer handling my problems on my own.
We Never Learn What It Means To Be Human.
Human Truths:
1. Two things can be true at once: someone can be mean when they feel threatened and also have a kind side. Someone can be very selfish at times, and be quite generous at other times. Rarely are people all good or all bad.
2. None of us have it figured out: we don't know what we're doing. We're all doing the best we can based on what we know. Even the people you think have it figured out, don't.
3. We've all hurt people: sometimes unintentionally. We've all done things we regret. Human perfection is an illusion.
4. It's rarely personal: most of our behaviors are survival based: our brain and nervous system have one core motivation, to survive. Our behaviors reflect our past adaptations and internal emotional state.
5. We're incredibly resilient: human beings are gifted adapters. In any environment and will learn quickly (subconsciously) learn to survive. Use this to your advantage.
6. We can do so much more than we think: we're conditioned to see ourselves as less than capable, but the human spirit transcends limitation. It's typically our mind and core beliefs that hold us back from the truth of who we are.
7. We all have blind spots: thanks to our ego, we all have parts of ourselves we can't see. We're more fragile emotionally than we like to admit, and that's ok.
8. When we're threatened, we go into defense mode: picture a scared, dog cornered. They growl and bark signaling "don't come near me." Humans do the same thing when we feel threatened. We deflect, defend, push people away, and shut down.
9. We all want to belong: our core need at birth is attachment. We are born to belong. We all want to find places where we are seen and valued. Without it we easily display signs of "mental illness."
10. The more we fear vulnerability, the more 'tough' we want to appear: bypassing pain, trauma, or wanting to appear strong comes from learning that vulnerability is a weakness.
Childhood trauma (emotional neglect or abuse, abandonment etc) mutes our anger response.
We learn to repress our anger and to feel not anger at all when we should (dissociation.)
Many adults who show no anger at all are deeply furious, internally. They shove it down with food, sex, or chronic over-working.
Healing means learning to accept anger.
Anger is healthy. It shows us when we’re being violated, when to speak up, and when a person isn’t safe.
Death toll in Rajouri, Jammu & Kashmir in Islamist terror attacks has gone up to 6 including two children today in IED blast. Two major terror attacks against Hindus in less than 36 hours.
Where are those terror apologists who said don’t look at killing in J&K through religion?
Hindus in J&K killed by Islamist terrorists.
Sikh in J&K killed by Islamist terrorists.
Patriotic and Liberal Muslims in J&K who consider themselves Indian first killed by Islamist terrorists.
Yet all victims of Islamist terror are asked not see it through religious lens.
