At just a few months of age, an infant can look at pictures, listen to your voice, and point to objects on cardboard pages. By drawing attention to pictures and associating words with both pictures and the real-world objects, shared reading helps children learn the importance of language.

The behaviors that we were praised for as children are often trauma responses and survival mechanisms.

Neglect taught us to be independent. Anger and abuse taught us to keep the peace and be obedient. Poverty taught us to be low-maintenance and content with little.

These were not necessarily expressions of our authentic self. We had no choice but to become a certain way in order to survive.

For me, healing involves peeling back all those layers of what I HAD TO BE so that I can begin loving myself AS I AM.

We don’t become strong by denying our emotions, we grow in resilience by practicing and seeing healthy examples of how to acknowledge and work through our emotions.

It’s time to end the misconceptions and stigmas that are holding people back from living a genuine, productive, whole-hearted life. ❤️

Celebrate the wild ones!

Speak life into the behaviors that you find challenging! You don’t know the purpose of the process, but fall in love with falling in love anyway, every day, even when the mountains look tall!

This article is a great explanation of what the “Lost Girl” feels like. Many of us are women now. High anxiety, with no apparent reason, is one of the biggest red flags. If we can start looking out of the box, we can see so much more. Happy Sunday!

After multiple burnouts, in my early 30s I finally knew why life sometimes felt harder for me. It made perfect sense, so why had no one noticed before?

I saw this and thought of so many who have been through so much and continue each day the best they can. Love to you all

Happy 2021!

Ditch the resolutions. You are not a problem.

You didn’t mess up somehow. It was all necessary.

Reflect. Learn. Grow.

💯 why I’m in counseling myself. I’m just “mom” to my kids at home. It takes work to get here 👇🏼but it’s worth it!!!

I'm 100% responsible for who I am in this relationship. My task is to free myself sufficiently so that I can respond in the present moment - not from past programming. That's what freedom is.
