๐Ÿซถ Today is Zero Discrimination Day, so we thought we'd talk about microaggressions, what they sound like and what impact they can have! Sometimes we picture discrimination as big decisions, actions or statements, but microaggressions and everyday interactions can be just as harmful. ๐Ÿซถ

We're going to be talking a little bit more about microagressions in the month, so if you're interested, make sure to stay tuned!

๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ Normalising accessibility makes life easier for all! When we let go of our expectations and assumptions, and instead listen to our own sensory needs and those of others, we can create a lot more safety for everyone. So if youโ€™re noticing some sensory difficulties or challenges, think about the ways that you can support yourself in different environments. It might feel strange or different at first, but if it means that you can participate or have a more enjoyable time, then itโ€™s well worth it! ๐ŸŽง๏ธ

DESPITE

Recently, I was asked to think of one word that reflected my current stage in life. Straight away, DESPITE came to mind. Despite a traumatic upbringing, poverty, bullying, and self-hatred, I survived. Despite constant hurts, put-downs, and poor decisions by myself, or others, I survived. Despite my rocky start to life, I learnt that not everyone was out to hurt me or hated me. Despite my youthful impulsiveness, my willingness to cut my nose to spite my face, and stand by my foolishness. Despite the appeal of โ€œbad boysโ€, I met the guy who would become the man who changed my life by showing me what trust, safety, and unconditional love actually meant - the way I needed to be shown.

Despite my chaotic upbringing, my husband and I gave our gorgeous little boy, and precious baby girl a solid and stable home, filled with love, laughter, Light and Truth. Despite my belief that I was stupid, ugly, and dumb I learnt to believe otherwise.

Despite the fact I had poor memory, attention and concentration because of my traumas, I managed to get through a four-year psychology degree full-time whilst raising a family. It certainly wasnโ€™t easy. In fact it was the hardest thing I had ever done. I had to learn to keep the bullying thoughts at bay . I had to stop listening to the voices inside my mind screaming for me to revert to the thoughts of that scared little girl. I had to put my big girl panties on, manage a household, love and manage my family, and eventually, mother teenagers - another potential trigger right there!

Despite lifeโ€™s usual setbacks and moving our young family across Australia where we knew not a single soul, I managed to complete a Masters degree in Psychology. Despite a hiccup to my professional career due to unexpected PTSD triggers and flashbacks, I finally arrive at my current stage in life. From existing, surviving, living, to thriving.
