This week is National Grief Awareness Week.

Life is short!

The moments that matter most are often the simple ones, shared with people who help us feel safe and at ease 🤍🌱

So make space for joy, connection, and meaningful relationships. This may be one of the greatest gifts you can give your emotional wellbeing 🙏

These are different ways the nervous system tries to keep us safe.

But the truth is, fight/flight and shutdown aren’t choices or character flaws. They’re protective responses. 🙏🫂

Gaining understanding through counselling, can be a gentle first step toward feeling more regulated and supported. 🌱

Burnout isn’t always obvious. Sometimes it shows up quietly, over time.

If any of the below images feel familiar, you’re not weak. It’s your nervous system possibly asking for care. 🙏🏻
