“Loving someone and protecting your life are not competing values. You can care deeply and still choose boundaries. Both can be true at the same time.”

“When terrible things happen, we want to make sense of things for our kids, but we can’t.”

You don’t always need to make sense of what has happened, just to their feelings and responses to it. Kids want to know that their response to a traumatic event is normal. If they believe their response is not appropriate, this can cause confusion and prolong the struggle.

If they ask you a question which you don’t have an answer for, it’s ok to say ‘I don’t know’. Be with them in the unknown, but assure them of your presence and of those who are working for the safety of many 💛

When there’s a tragedy - when evil is unleashed on the world - people often share the quote ascribed to Fred Rogers that we should “look for the helpers”.

If you or your kids are struggling to comprehend this incomprehensible massacre on our shores, here are some helpers you can point to:

❣️The lifeguards
❣️The Police and other first responders
❣️The many people who opened their homes to strangers
❣️People who protected other more vulnerable people until their loved ones found them
❣️People who tried to disarm the gunmen
❣️Animals who stayed with their owners who had been shot

This in no way takes away from the grief of the devastating experience. It can, however give a different focus for those who find the heaviness too much to bear 💔

❓ Have you ever considered that over-thinking or not being able to say ‘no’ to people might be a response to trauma?

People respond to trauma in different ways, both at the time of the incident and in the time that follows.

Our body cleverly uses these defence responses to protect us at the time of danger, but if they become regular patterns when danger isn’t present, they can cause us harm by damaging relationships and effecting our mental health.

Unlearning these patterns takes time, and sometimes professional support. If you need support with this, consider reaching out to your trusted therapist or today.

💔 Grief and Joy ❤️

It’s hard to believe these can be felt simultaneously. Sometimes it even feels wrong to feel joy in the midst of grief.

But they do not have to cancel each other out. There can still be laughter in times of deep sadness.

It doesn’t mean the grief exists in any less capacity. It is just the way the waves of emotions reveal themselves through the healing process.

People often mistake ADHD as ‘busy’ behaviour, when it is SO much more than that.

❗️Did you know that ADHD can actually help you focus so much on one thing that all other input becomes a blur and you miss important information?

❗️And it can affect time perception, causing rush and continual lateness?

❗️And it can requires routine, but fights against it, craving spontaneity?

Understanding the way your brain works validates your feelings and is the first step in acceptance of yourself and others 💜
