I don’t feel like enough people are talking about the fact that a New Haven charter school decided to fire a quarter of their teaching staff just a few months after they formed a union — and now the students have been on strike, hosting town halls, and staging sit-ins for 5 days.

Please don’t give up. Please don’t die. You are not alone. I am you. You are loved. I see you. I feel you. You matter to me💜💫

[Shayna Yvonne Rudd @ShaynaRudd]

Yes; Dance, Sing, Pray, and be open to therapy.

[Shayna Yvonne Rudd @ShaynaRudd]

Dance

[Shayna Yvonne Rudd @ShaynaRudd]

I write for you. I dance for you. I am a clinician because of you. I struggle still and yet you always bring me closer to Purpose.

[Shayna Yvonne Rudd @ShaynaRudd]

For Church Girls who have considered suicide when the shout and dance wasn’t enuf💜💫

You aren’t a victim.

You aren’t nursing the wound.

The wound is that severe.

Rest.

I am your confirmation.

Continue to do the work. It is working... even when it feels hard.

I love you 💜💫

[Shayna Yvonne Rudd @ShaynaRudd]

Oh!

And please remove people who are highly critical of that process.

If they need you to be “ON” to feel whole... they need to begin their own healing process.

[Shayna Yvonne Rudd @ShaynaRudd]

When those moments come, please listen to your body and rest. Don’t mask. Don’t avoid.

Surrender to the recovery... it does not cancel your brilliance.

[Shayna Yvonne Rudd @ShaynaRudd]

The abuse may be over physically but there are parts of you that are still in mourning.

It’s not your fault.

You are worthy of love.

[Shayna Yvonne Rudd @ShaynaRudd]

It is important that you realize you are still in recovery. I know you aren’t trying to hurt anyone. I know it. Apologize if your actions have done so.. but please hear me:

You are still in recovery.

[Shayna Yvonne Rudd @ShaynaRudd]

This may present itself as anxiety, depressed days, lack of energy, unexplained sadness, fits of rage, ect.

This message is not for people who wish to take advantage of others with their struggle, but for those who work consistently at healing the effects of that story.

[Shayna Yvonne Rudd @ShaynaRudd]

You get to be both magical and in recovery.

When you have endured ANY form of abuse. That trauma, often times, holds itself in your body.

[Shayna Yvonne Rudd @ShaynaRudd]

Therapy has me on my back today.
Yes; therapist have therapist. I think it’s the safest way to lead. We all need accountability. I just wanted to write this and then log out to continue my own processing: You are not being dramatic.
You are not too sensitive.
