๐Ÿ“ Call it what you want, but the week between Christmas and New Years Day can feel like a bit of a time vortext for many people! Routines change, supports can be away (or ever-present!), and it can bring up a lot of emotions. So we have created a big list of activities you could do over this period of time just in case it's helpful to help you think about different ways to take care of yourself! What activities might you want to add to this list?๐Ÿ“

๐Ÿ™‹Put your hand up if you've had to answer questions that you're not comfortable with, or find yourself feeling a bit awkward during holiday festivities! Most of us have been there!! So we put together a list of a few quick lines that you can rehearse and pull out if you need over the next few weeks (or whenever, really!!) ๐Ÿ™‹

๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธWe recorded this reel before Sundayโ€™s attacks. We have had the idea of talking about political stress here for well over a year, through wars, elections and impactful political decisions. We decided that it would be appropriate in the lead up to the holiday season in the hopes of supporting folks to ground through difficult conversations, or to show kindness to themselves and others.ย 
ย 
Here, Clinton is sharing some insights into managing political stress generally, but also when we might come across folks who have differing opinions from our own. We ask that you engage with these gently and mindfully if it feels right for you today.๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธย

๐Ÿต Grab a cuppa and something to write with, draw with, speak into, scribble on or chat to - it's reflection time!

And yes, we should be asking ourselves these kinds of questions all the time. And no, it doesn't matter if you do it today or on February 19th - it's important to look back on periods of time as they make sense to you! ๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ

โš–๏ธ Today is Human Rights Day! For our marginalised communities and those who continue to face scrutiny and debate, everyday respect and safety are acts of solidarity. Showing up for your community with kindness is the perfect place to start, and it's something we can all do every day! ๐ŸŒž

๐Ÿ™‹ For , we thought we'd expand on yesterday's International Day of People with Disability post specifically for our health and allied health professional colleagues!

Just because someone is disabled, doesn't mean that this is all they are! Here at Haven we see folks who experience life at the intersection - who experience multiple marginalised identities. So what can we do to best support folks to show up as their whole selves to session? Have a read!

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.
