Forgiving yourself isn’t easy, but it can get easier. Check out this week’s post ❤️

New on the blog: when loving your body or even liking it doesn’t feel remotely possible. (Btw, if that’s you, you’re doing NOTHING wrong. 😘) #blueskytherapists #allbodiesaregoodbodies #bodyrespect

Still a work in progress 😌 #blueskytherapists #highlysensitive #anxiety #intuition

For when little decisions feel huge 🫠 #highlysensitiveperson #hsp

I feel overwhelmed by all the chaos…and that’s exactly how an authoritarian would want me to feel. Helpless, small, alone. But I am not. We are not. So instead, I show up. I march. #nokings #vermont

I love L.A. ❤️ After nearly twenty years there, I saw plenty of problems, but immigrants were never one of them. That city is full of fierce love. Keep being fierce, friends. #losangeles

New on the blog, “The Weight of Weighing.” I’m so grateful to my former self for getting out of this abusive relationship. #edrecovery

I wrote about Viktor Frankl & meaning-making in an unjust world. I hope people find it helpful: open.substack.com/pub/mentalhe...

This week on the blog: tackling perfectionism with meditation. #edrecovery

Food behaviors make a lot of sense in the context of trauma and self-protection. #blueskytherapists #therapistsconnect #edrecovery

There’s nothing wrong with crying. In fact, it’s brilliant. #highlysensitive #therapistsconnect #blueskytherapists

No bad coping tools! #therapistsconnect #blueskytherapists #coping

Trauma Brain will always give us "good" reasons to do self-harmful or self-neglectful things-- and it'll always find "good" reasons to put off recovery habits & self-nurturing things. Remember that Trauma Brain has an agenda-- that does NOT include your happiness or longevity.

New on the blog 👩‍💻 All about the “suggestion” I hate the most! #highlysensitive #therapistsconnect #blueskytherapists #hsp

Eating disorders don’t exactly make much sense… #edrecovery #mentalhealth

Anybody else having a hard time getting ANYTHING done because 3 fluffy eaglets have completely captured your attention? 🦅🦅🐣🐣🐣 #fobbv #jackieandshadow #eaglecam

We're not going to decrease suicidal ideation by physically or emotionally isolating or abandoning people experiencing it. Which is exactly what we do when we flee from, punish, or otherwise overreact to verbal expressions of suicidal ideation. We gotta be able to talk about it.

Yes! Who's In?

Post 3 in the High Sensitivity and Eating Disorders series! #highlysensitiveperson #edrecovery #bulimiarecovery

Menopause can trigger eating disorders, yet it’s rarely discussed. We need to recognise the signs and understand the impact. 🔄🍽️ 👇 www.independent.co.uk/life-style/m... #MenopauseAwareness #EatingDisorders #Perimenopause

Next up on the blog series exploring different disordered eating presentations among HSPs and what’s needed for a full recovery. ✨ #highlysensitiveperson #eatingdisorders #edrecovery #therapistsconnect

This week’s post, for anyone struggling with food and body image. #blackhistorymonth #edrecovery #bodyliberation

I guarantee you will read this and immediately lower your shoulders. We dont realize how tense we can feel during the day. #DBT #ACT #PolyvagalTheory #MentalHealth #Therapy #Therapist #Mindfulness #MindfulnessSkill #PoliteKitty

The biggest obstacle to many survivors' recovery-- including mine, often-- is our addiction to the illusion we can "control" sh*t. Swap out "control" in your vocabulary for "influence"-- then dial back your estimation of what you can realistically influence by about 80%.

It’s easy to feel paralyzed when you’re overwhelmed. Here’s a place to start when you want to know what you can do.

1st book rec of 2025: "Social Justice for the Sensitive Soul: How to Change the World in Quiet Ways" by Dorcas Cheng-Tozun - if you’re an HSP or empath who needs a compassionate reminder about the value of your activism work. #socialjustice #activism #highlysensitiveperson

Feelings are not facts AND it’s a fact you feel that way 💚💚

Don’t let your body image distract you from what’s happening. We’ve got work to do. 💪 www.yoursensitiverecovery.com/pages/blog/1...

Feeling extra grateful for my therapy clients right about now. Working with them is helping me stay centered and grounded while everything in this country feels completely and appallingly unhinged. #blueskytherapists #therapistsconnect

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Compassion Fatigue can happen to anyone…even a seasoned therapist. Written this week in the midst of my own recognition of it. ❤️‍🩹 #therapistsconnect #blueskytherapists www.yoursensitiverecovery.com/pages/blog/c...

Your pep talk, from someone who’s been there. Check out my latest post: www.yoursensitiverecovery.com/pages/blog/e... #edrecovery #relapse

i have met so many people, especially women, who are intelligent, talented, and complex, yet dedicate so much of their energy and time to something as boring and distracting as weight loss. imagine if we thought growing our minds was as important as shrinking our bodies.
