Golden poppy is one of my favorite herbs. Its soothing, protective properties make it invaluable for weathering storms--the jar of unstrained tincture that lives under my car seat has seen quite a few 😂 On January 29th, we'll be taking a deep dive into how herbs like golden poppy can help us cope with and heal from traumatic experiences and stress, as well as when they might not be the best idea. Registration opens TOMORROW! There's a limited number of live spots, so grab them while they're open (and please indicate on the form if you're only planning on watching the recording!). There's a self-assessed sliding scale, but everyone is welcome regardless of their ability to donate. More information at the "workshops" link in my bio, and feel free to comment, dm or email with any questions! #goldenpoppy #californiapoppy #herbalism #herbalistsofinstagram #slidingscalehealing #anarchoherbalism #madliberation #psychiatricabolition https://www.instagram.com/p/CnApi2uPjWN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Making photography degree work on the loss of self to the mental health system.

Over a year since I discharged myself from all services, a month after my last 136.

Putting myself into debt with private trauma therapy but I would rather struggle financially than face the stress, panic and self-doubt that mental health services gave me.

I am not okay with being another patient with lists of symptoms and diagnoses, experiences and reactions all but dismissed.
