🌈 Happy Pride! 🌈
LGBTQIA+ folks deserve to be celebrated, protected, and deeply loved, not just in June but all year long!

The world still has a long way to go. I'm grateful to support this community in my work as a therapist and to keep learning how to show up with care.

To every adult still healing or reclaiming their truth: you belong here. 💖🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I really love self compassion both for myself and as a tool to teach clients. Sometimes people worry that they won't accomplish anything without being self critical or that it is "wimpy." I love these slides that explain why self compassion isn't being self pitying, week or selfish, and you can accomplish more and be a more accountable person when you are self compassionate.

When a particular part is triggered, it tends to take us over so we can't see outside of the worldview of that part.

When we relate to a triggered part from a place of compassion, we become dis-identified with the part.

When we're compassionate to our parts, they lose their grip on us. We gain greater clarity and can make wiser choices.
