Many trauma survivors experience nightmares that are connected to what they’ve been through. These dreams can feel overwhelming and may make falling or staying asleep difficult.
💤 💤 💤
Nightmare rescripting is a supportive tool used in trauma recovery to gently change the story of the nightmare and reduce its emotional impact.

Some days call for coping skills. Some days require extra self-compassion and rest.
💐
Take what YOU need today.

Feeling overwhelmed right now? Maybe your chest feels tight, your thoughts are racing, and your palms are sweaty. Your body is sending you a message.
🌀
When we are in this kind of state, thinking our way out of it isn't always the most effective method. Establishing safety within our nervous system is usually the first step to reestablishing your peace.

Did you know that what you eat can shape how your body responds to stress?
🥦
A diet rich in a variety of nutrient-dense foods supports brain function, reduces inflammation, and helps stabilize mood and focus.

It’s okay to be a work in progress.
🌷
Small but steady steps forward are how real change happens.

Anxiety can be loud, uncomfortable and exhausting…
but it doesn’t get to decide what you’re capable of.

Sometimes the most supportive thing we can do is pause and remind ourselves:

💙 I don’t need to fix this feeling
💙 I can sit with discomfort and still be okay
💙 Feelings are not facts — I am safe
💙 This will pass in its own time

If today feels heavy, let this be your permission slip to slow down, breathe and meet yourself with kindness. Strength doesn’t always look like pushing through - sometimes it just looks like staying present.

Save this for later or share it with someone who might need a gentle reminder today 🌸
