It's a good day for soup 🍲

I got this recipe from a client years ago and every time I make it I fondly think of this person, the work we did and sending wishes for their well-being.

I consider what I get to do a privilege and honor.

I never forget your story.

You go with me, as I with you.

May you feel the warmth of peace, holding and love today and always.💓

Oh my goodness, I just finished a 2 day training on processing pre verbal trauma with EMDR!!

Needless to say, this will be a tool in my toolbelt for sure!

Our brains are amazing and are wired for adaptive information, in spite of trauma.

I can't wait to walk you through this.

Reach out for a free 15 minute consultation to see about working together 💓

What can you do?

We see trauma being perpetrated on our neighbors.

We're all going through a collective trauma right now.

Our nervous system needs action to reduce the fear, helplessness, powerlessness and hopelessness.

Here's one way to act:

CALL YOUR SENATORS and REPRESENTATIVES! 📞

Here's how you find yours:

https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm

After you do this, check in with yourself.

What do you notice?

Then, share.

Deep breath in through the nose, exhale through the mouth, making the exhale longer than the inhale. 💓

Now is the time to speak up! 📢

This is no longer about political sides or policy debate.

This is about sounding the alarm on fascism and authoritarianism trying to hijack our country and perpetuating trauma.

As a certified EMDR therapist I know trauma.

What is happening in Minnesota is federally sanctioned trauma being perpetrated on its people. The violence, fear, intimidated is hijacking nervous systems all over the country.

In the upcoming days I'll be exploring different ways to rise up, out of hopelessness and fear.

For those that can, you can send money for diapers to those in Minnesota, as well as help with accessing reproductive care, among others.

We will rise up! Let's link hands. 👫
