@michelledrapkin @myACBS What a great first plenary #ACBSWC gave us with Stephen Porges.

[Sofia Lopoukhine @ [email protected] @sofialop]

@morriseric Me too! Serious FOMO, but in typical ACBS fashion it became my real-play in one of the breakout room sessions.

@manabinho220 @thesosugita Fun to network with you all! #ACBSWC

Maybe you have just been through a tough day. A tough week. A hard period.Or maybe you are still going through something really hard.This very moment, sit, take a breath, it has passed. It will pass.This very moment in the present, you can take refuge. #compassion #selfcompassion

[Dr. Jen Wolkin | ADHD + Trauma Therapist @drjenwolkin]

Trauma is NOT our fault, and yet, healing IS our responsibility

It’s NOT fair, AND this is the truth of things —- NO ONE is going to save us…we have to do the work of healing.

⁣When we DO take the step toward healing, we empower ourselves, which is healing in it of itself.

@nilikm So sorry to hear this Nili. Thank you for all your advocacy and courage.

It is totally normal to have urges to avoid difficult or painful feelings as they arise. But every time we give in to these urges, we are reinforcing avoidance patterns (& they eventually become automatic) & giving more power to difficult feelings.

[Sofia Lopoukhine @ [email protected] @sofialop]

I am seeing this have an effect on my clients: the difficulty of being stigmatized as the bad/cautious one. Painful and confusing.

[Sabina Vohra-Miller @SabiVM]

2- Two years in, we all want some semblance of normalcy. So much so, that it has made some people have their eyes wide shut in ignorance. But constantly having to be the ‘bad/cautious’ person takes a toll on you, mentally and physically.

Not comparing your journey with others is self-care.

[Susan David, Ph.D. @SusanDavid_PhD]

Anger signals that something that matters to you is being threatened.

But we don’t need to act into our anger. We own our emotions. They don’t own us.

Emotions are data, not directives.

[Dennis Tirch PhD @DennisTirchPhD]

Arguably the best treatment for depression involves engagement in meaningful and rewarding activity. This can also be the hardest things to do with depression! Self-compassion can involve accepting the compassion of others, and we might need help to work through the hard stuff.

[Dr. Dayna Lee-Baggley @DrLeeBaggley]

And whenever you can try to be one of the helping people. Everyday actions matter. Hug someone you love and send some kindness out to the world. We all need some.
