Recently I took the time and opportunity to do a branding shoot to update pictures of my office spaces and get some new provider profile pictures/headshots. I love being able to give everyone a little glimpse into who I am as a person and a provider (spoiler: pets and plants).
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and photos Jhey Photo LLC

Little alarm bells go off in my head every time I hear these phrases from people. Invalidation hurts y’all! We’ve all felt the sting of being invalidated by others - being told that we are overreacting, that we shouldn’t feel the way we do, that it’s “not that big of a deal”, or we need to “get over it”.
So why, oh why, do we inflict that kind of pain on ourselves through self-invalidation?!

Please don’t be surprised if I gently point out this invalidating language when I hear it and give you an opportunity to rephrase your thoughts in a more self-validating way! You deserve it because your thoughts and feelings ARE important. They DO matter, and they ARE understandable. There are no SHOULDS, and you DO deserve grace and self compassion.

Who else needed to hear this today? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Who else needs to give themselves permission to just focus on getting through this? That’s your only job right now - everything else - building a skill, taking up a hobby, spring cleaning, healthy eating and moving...it’s wonderful but it’s all bonus points.

There are gems in there if you know where to look.

Part of managing our anxiety and protecting our mental health during a time like this means learning how to accept the things outside of our control. It also looks like being proactive and productive in the ways we approach the things that are within our control.

Another thing that’s within your control - reaching out for support, whether that means talking to friends and family, or pursing counseling services with a trained professional (many of which are now seeing new and existing clients via telehealth/video based platforms).

Please know this is hard stuff and it makes sense if you’re feeling confused, angry, irritable, nervous, panicked, sad, and lonely. Please don’t invalidate these really important and justified emotions - attend to them, talk about them!
