Good morning FB community!

My unofficial word of the year for 2022 (unofficial bc I don't actually do this) is "streamline". To me this involves streamlining my systems and processes to make things more efficient in my business and home life.

One step I'm taking is posting my Tina Moran LLC solely on Instagram moving forward. If you don't already, please follow me there!

A lot of my patients have been talking to me about complicated feelings regarding gratitude this Thanksgiving season. Many have been operating in survival mode for over a year and a half. There’s a lot of struggle going on. It’s hard to hold space for these two opposing ideas. This is an example of the importance of “and”.

I’ll hear something like “I’m so grateful for my family, my health, having a job etc but man I’m depressed.” When you replace the “but” with “and” it creates more space for conflicting things to co-exist. For example – “I’m so grateful for so much and I’ve had a tough time lately.”

When we use the word “but” it can negate the positive thing that precedes it. Dialectics (DBT) teach us that two opposing forces can coexist.

So if this season you find some cracks in the gratitude or it’s taking more energy to channel that positivity, it's ok. You can be grateful and hurting at the same time.

Be kind to yourself.

The topic of "boundaries" and boundary setting didn't get much focus while I was in school. It just wasn't talked about in the same way we do now.

What I know from working in the field the last 10+ years (and personal experience!) is that having and setting boundaries is critically important!

When we don't set boundaries it often results in feelings of resentment and creates more distance in our relationships. It even impacts our relationship with ourselves. So, spoiler- everyone needs boundaries!

When did you first recognize the need and start working on boundaries?

Last year after years of random left arm tingling, I finally took care of an old injury from a previous car accident. I went to PT for a few months. It helped me learn how to use my body and muscles together in ways that didn't lead to injury. It was a humbling process being in my 30s and re-learning proper alignment and how to lift weights and do other exercises without compensating with a different part of my body.

This process I realized is similar to engaging in psychotherapy. In the therapy setting we uncover old habits and ways that don't serve you well anymore, and work to create new neural pathways that can lead to a more balanced and happy life. Therapy can be humbling. It can be difficult to come to terms with "the hard stuff" and recognize when change is needed. It may seem more enticing to force our way through the difficult times only to discover we created a new injury by overcompensating.

As you learn new skills and new patterns, remember that you have to keep at it. Just like those dang PT exercises that you're supposed to do at home. It takes practice to rebuild that muscle. Learning new behaviors takes practice. I often tell patients, if you're not doing the work outside of my office, things won't change. Allow yourself the time, space and patience to rebuild and recover.
