Lean in at your pace. Curiosity is a skill you build over time - it’s not something that just happens, and it’s harder than it looks.

🌟When is curiosity easy for you? With who? In what situations? At what time of the day? While you’re doing what?

Mental health struggles are heavily pathologized… What that means it that we often think of mental health struggles as abnormal or unhealthy. A number of reels will be made in an effort to reduce the stigma related to mental health because most of the time, our mental health struggles can be traced back to an overactive nervous system that tries its very best to keep us safe in the only ways it knows how.

How would you define trauma? 🤔💭

When we think of trauma, our minds may go to motor vehicle accidents, natural disasters, or violence. But trauma is less about the experience itself and more about how we perceive it.

For example, experiencing a break up, getting bullied, having overly critical parents, going through a divorce, experiencing racism and/or discrimination, experiencing food insecurity, and being cheated on, are all examples of trauma.

This being said, not everyone reacts the same and what is distressing for one person may not be distressing for another. How we perceive an experience depends on a number of internal and external factors. Relating to feelings, rather than the situation or the event itself, can sometimes help us hold space for others.
