This anxiety and trying to control outcomes keeps us from being free in the moment. Ironically, this causes us to NOT get the outcome that we desire. Our anxiety becomes our greatest self-fulfilling prophecy. I am a lover of practical/real-life examples. If you can apply it to your own life, you are more likely to understand and change it. Example: fearing abandonment so much, that you try to control your lover. This pushes them away, and you end up being abandoned. Wanting to make genuine connections with others, but fearing how you will be perceived so much that you isolate yourself and never make the connections you seek, thus perpetuating isolation! These are a few examples I see often in my therapy practice. Comment below about how you have seen this play out in your life. #selfhealers #anxietyhelp #surrender #brenebrownquotes #therapistsofinstagram #lasvegastherapist That’s all we need to do: get curious. So often we judge and shame ourselves so harshly for trauma reactions…because we aren’t aware that they are TRAUMA REACTIONS. Becoming trauma aware is the first key step in recovery. I specialize in treating trauma, having walked this journey of trauma recovery myself. Healing IS possible. Keep seeking it, and it will not be denied to you! #selfhealers #emdr #traumarecovery #therapy #therapistsofinstagram #traumatherapy #love #vulnerability #holiday #mentalhealth During the holiday season, I am usually more reflective about acts of kindness: how one act of kindness can turn into a string of kind acts. I have been extremely lucky to have experienced this kindness since getting more involved in community that loves one another and places that as the highest value. This holiday season, I am thinking about something quite morose: death. Many people are affected by grief at this time of year, and I wanted to take a moment not only to acknowledge those who have lost someone, but also. to offer my deepest condolences. This is a way to reframe loneliness that I had never thought of. For any perceived negative emotion we are feeling, it is a check engine light guiding us to what we are really needing. This is why we can feel loneliness by ourselves, or in a crowded room of people. Let loneliness serve as a sign that perhaps you are not showing others the real you. Rejection might happen, but you are also more likely to attract people who understand you. #healing #selfhealers #therapy #emotions #emotionalintelligence A lot of us enter relationships thinking that we are more uniquely flawed than other people. This is certainly not the case--we all struggle to varying degrees, and we all have our healing work to do. A large portion of this healing comes from being accepted when we feel most vulnerable and ashamed. It is my firm belief that people cannot really change until they experience unconditional acceptance and positive regard. "You are good as you are, but you also must change" is a paradox that exists for all humans. Take a risk with those who love you! Be vulnerable. The worst that can happen is someone isn't ready to hear your story, or they aren't right for you. And then you figure that out and move forward. Many times people's first experience being vulnerable is in therapy, which is a good place to practice! You can take what you learn in the therapy room and apply it to your real life relationships. #heal #vulnerability #truelove #sextherapy #therapist #therapy #mentalhealth #healingshame I chose this phone notification picture as a somewhat ironic template for what I am about to discuss...our phones keep us from being in the present moment. I was doing my (somewhat daily) yoga and meditation practice this morning. During Savasana, the phrase "your life deserves your full presence" came to me while I was meditating in this final pose of my routine. This is an often overlooked aspect of trauma healing in our society. We often do desperate things when shame gets activated as a result of experiencing a trauma--whether that trauma be sexual assault, or whether it be verbal, emotional, or physical abuse in childhood. Trauma lives in the body and it sets us on fire.
