Healing Matters Psychotherapy

CELEBRATE RESILIENCE It’s good to recognize and celebrate our adaptations to toxic stress and trauma that have kept us alive. We should also recognize... that these adaptations have the potential to derail us and no longer be life-serving once the danger is passed. For example, a biting wit can deflect verbal abuse but also destroy current supportive relationships. #traumahealing #therapists #ptsd #somaticexperiencing #somatic #somatichealing #therapy #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #healing #inclusion #diversity #equity #anxiety #trauma #love #training #SEtraumaInstitute #selfcare #mindfulness #psychology #traumatherapy #resiliency #somaticexperiencingtraining #mentalhealthprofessional #professionaltraining #nervoussystem

#TransAwarenessWeek

In honor of #TransAwarenessWeek, we wanted to direct you to this helpful resource by West Anderson, available below! https://thebodyisnotanapology.com//...everything-my-loved-on/ . . [image description: on a white background is the title "7 Things My Loved Ones Got Right When I Came Out As Non-Binary". Below are the seven items, each with a number and a colored bar that together form the colors of the rainbow. The seven items include: "They supported me as I tried different things; They believed my truth about my experience; They changed how they referred to me; They supported my changes in presentation; They advocated for me with new people; They were not embarrassed by me; They comforted me when I was feeling down." At the bottom is written, "By West Anderson for @TheBodyIsNotAnApology." A thin black rectangular border spans the seven items.] . . #TheBodyIsNotAnApology #TBINAA #RadicalSelfLove See more

Just realized it’s #internationalpronounsday Many of my most tender tour memories have involved people bringing me a book I’ve signed in the past and asking m...e to resign it to their new name. It’s an honor to honor someone. -Andrea (they/them/theirs)
