Some people won't support your trauma or addiction recovery because they don't identify with it. They've never had to do something as hard as you do in waking up every morning & choosing recovery. They don't recognize the specific strengths & intelligence you've had to evolve.

This bunny just hangs out on our front yard every day completely unbothered. I think I gotta name him. He fam now.

A great place to start for folks wondering about the General Strike U.S., made by coalition members.

On June 14th, we show up. Coalition members will be present at all 1,800 events nationwide, over 90,000 strong, helping monitor local conditions. Many veterans have stepped forward to support protesters, stand in solidarity, and defend our right to be heard. We thank them.

Disabled people have been pleading with folks to show solidarity for years. We saw the rising tide of eugenics the moment everyone declared Covid over & decided to leave us by the wayside. Pandemics give rise to fascism. What we’re seeing is the result of allowing disabled folks to be left behind

In safe relationships, you get to ask questions without fear of being made fun of or punished.

💚 Mental health matters, especially in our schools. This May, take on the School Kindness Challenge to help build a more supportive, connected, and compassionate school culture. Kindness reduces stress, strengthens connection, and promotes well-being.

Hope you’re paying attention. Being classified as a criminal for being an ethical consumer is absurd and it’s coming and you better start listening when we say yall need to help us push back on this with your whole chest and stop the puritanical bullshit. Forcing us to work third party IS NOT better

71 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. After generations of struggle and sacrifice, the supreme law of the land finally bent toward hard-won justice.

One of trauma's favorite lies is that our vulnerability is our "fault"-- & that we we don't "deserve" protection or support in managing our vulnerability. We should just "suck it up" & get our "mindset" right. If that "mindset" miracle worked, it would've worked for us by now.

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

Our needs are valid-- even if we don't quite understand them ourselves. Very often the "why" of a need is held by a "part" that isn't quite ready to let us know it just yet.

A lie Trauma Brain loves telling us is that we "need" that harsh inner "taskmaster" in order to get anything accomplished and/or hold ourselves "accountable"-- when the truth is, the inner critic actually sabotages & destroys our productivity in hundreds of little & big ways.

Because recovery is possible, does not at all mean recovery is easy-- and you don't have to feel bad for struggling or stumbling. It happens. Grace over guilt. Realistic recovery is built on incremental improvements, adjustments, & comebacks.

CBT is very good at teaching you how to cope. Healing from trauma requires you to want to heal, which isn't always given in victims of trauma. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Internal Family Systems, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy all work if you do.

Unresolved trauma makes you tolerate a lot of shit you don't deserve because you don't want to lose people. Healing helps you realize your worth and establish boundaries so you don’t lose yourself.

Trauma changes the brain. So does healing.

dear past me: you're not "healing generational trauma" you're repeating your parents mistakes and hoping things will turn out differently, all so you can feel superior while making no changes

Doing the work is not easy but it is worth it.

The waves of ambiguity. I'm not sorry and I won't pretend love is self-sacrifice.

Live fiercely. Love fiercely. Because all this ends.
