- I’m honored to begin my term as the 2023 President of the American Psychological Association @APA apa.org/about/governan…
- You broke the cycle. Don’t let boredom or loneliness send you back.
- Some delays are protection. Leave it alone. Force nothing. Live in flow.
- Trauma teaches you to expect and accept the bare minimum. In this new season, may you adjust your standards and learn to receive the maximum. You are worthy. You are enough. You deserve overflow.
- A history of trauma can give you a high tolerance for emotional pain. Just because you can take it doesn't mean you have to.
- Many assume your gentleness must have come from an easy life. They don’t know some learn to walk light in the fire.
- Congratulations on breaking out of that dysfunctional pattern. Three years ago, you wouldn't have made the decisions you're making now. Celebrate your growth.
- Aren’t you glad you stopped waiting for them to choose you? Aren’t you glad you chose yourself?
- Depression is a liar. Anxiety is too. Try not to believe the stories they create about you.
- Exhale. It’s not personal. Many people are depleted and have nothing left to give. Let it be so.
- Childhood trauma can lead to an adulthood spent in survival mode, afraid to plant roots, to plan for your future, to trust, to let joy in. It is a blessing to shift from surviving to thriving. It is not simple but there is more than survival.
- Forgive yourself for the choices your insecurity made. Heal and shift. Now you know.
- When the house is on fire, we don’t tell people to watch their tone as they yell for help. Be mindful of trying to dictate how people respond to trauma.
