“The brain disease model overlooks 4 fundamental truths: (1) our capacity to destroy one another is matched by our capacity to heal one another. Restoring relationships and community is central to restoring well-being; (2) language gives us the power to change ourselves and others by communicating our experiences, helping us to define what we know, and finding a common sense of meaning; (3) we have the ability to regulate our own physiology, including some of the so called involuntary functions of the body and brain, through such basic activities as breathing, moving and touching; and (4) we can change social conditions to create environments in which children and adults can feel safe and where they can thrive.

When we ignore the quintessential dimensions of humanity, we deprive people of ways to heal from trauma and restore their autonomy. Being a patient, rather than a participant in once’s healing process, separates suffering people from their community and alienates them from an inner sense of self.”

-Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D., The Body Keeps The Score

"You cannot help, fix, or save the young people you are working with. What you can do is work side by side with them, help them to understand their vision, and realize it with them. By doing that you give them back control. We're healing trauma without anyone ever mentioning the word." -Paul, The Body Keeps the Score

For #WorldMentalHealthDay, I recommended reading #YourBodyIsNotAnApology by @sonyareneetaylor and #TheBodyKeepsTheScore by @bessel_van. Both books are helping me a lot with my mental health #autizzy #MentalHealth #actuallyautistic #BlackAutisticJoy https://www.instagram.com/p/CjjweItMtP4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Each day feels exactly the same to me… I guess this is what trauma does… but the good news is I don’t believe this is my forever. This is temporary. The brain has the ability to heal itself. Healing is possible and one day I will experience true healing and when that happens the processing shall begin.

Can we pretty please retire the phrase "oh, that didn't hurt"? Pain is inherently subjective, meaning no one can feel or measure the severity of pain except the person who is experiencing it. It is completely and utterly ridiculous to claim the right to tell others what they do and do not feel.

[adifferentwordforeverything]

Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going inside ourselves.

#repost @notparentexpected ・・・ Today is February 6th. One year ago exactly I found out that my paternal grandmother was not my biological grandmother via a DNA test. This meant that my dad was not my biological father and everything I had grown to believe about myself was no longer accurate. Many realizations would happen that would just break my heart. I had nightmares that kept me up. I could not sleep. My brain was desperate for information to try to make this new trauma “make sense”. I am now in a much better place and working through healing via writing my memoir. I am so thankful for my journey and now see this day as a blessing in disguise. It has been a painful road that has lead me to a fuller understanding of myself. Thank you for supporting and following my journey. #trauma #dnatrauma #dnashock #everythingyouthoughttobetrueisnolongertrue #flashbacks #ptsd #cptsd #npe #childhoodtrauma #theboywhowasraisedasadog #complexptsd #petewalker #BruceDPerry #DrPerry #resilience #ACEscore #Attachment #adversechildhoodexperiences #thebodykeepsthescore #traumainformed #relationaltrauma #writingabouttrauma #tellingmystory #learningtheorigin #whatmakesmewhoiam #keepingthegood #healingthetrauma #growingintomyself #npe #notparentexpected https://www.instagram.com/p/B8PvJNXnStx/?igshid=3yvwaiwkkfwv

#jogja @eastparchotel gorgeous breakfast- fruit and custard croissant, mini tuna sandwich, croissant with butter and jam, strawberry cup, cafe latte made to perfection. All the food is melt in your mouth and tastes beautiful. Choosing something different this morning set off the internal alarm system but I persevered and will choose something different tomorrow morning to keep the central nervous experiencing that I am safe and I can manage different scenarios. We would never think that choosing different food for breakfast could set off our internal alarm system. As I sat eating I was aware of the gentle overheating, the slow perspiration of the anxiety and I also chose to feel good, to feel excited despite what my internal wiring was processing. For me that’s the good part. We can feel both anxious and excited 😊 I will win the battle 😎 and I know you will too! #complextrauma #complexptsd #thebodykeepsthescore #anxiety #depression #theacademyforcomplextrauma #recoverytoremission https://www.instagram.com/p/B3GZyLonFYK/?igshid=fsv58hqf4pgh

Reposting because I needed this reminder 🌻 #Repost @the.painting.yogini • • • • • “Effectively dealing with stress depends upon achieving balance between the smoke detector (amygdala) and the watchtower (medial prefrontal cortex) of the brain. If you want to manage your emotions better you can regulate them from the top down or bottom up. Top down regulation involves strengthening the capacity of the watchtower to monitor your body’s sensations. Mindfulness meditation and yoga can help with this. Bottom-up regulation involves recalibration the autonomic nervous system, ANS. We can access the ANS through breath, movement, or touch. Breathing is one of the few body functions under both conscious and autonomic control.” ~ Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk, MD. @thebodykeepsthescore . . .
