Gotta love a bit of a laugh in this -

🎄Weirdly hectic busy, 🎄shopping/eating/drinking madly,🎄 emotionally draining, 🎄being around a lot of triggering people and🎄 end of year reflecting time of the year.

I'm totally validating feeling like a train wreck right now. 💚 you got this.

Happy holidays.

Sometimes we can be told by others that the boundaries we have created (to keep ourselves feeling ok or safe) are selfish.
Maybe those people are just finding you harder to control?

Gaslighting 101.

Often in the work of therapy we begin to notice the old narratives - the voices of old Parts of ourselves who were trying to keep us away from threat and to protect us. We then spend the time reassuring those old voices or Parts that, with change, we are now able to keep ourselves safe.
Therapy is hard work at times - learning to be self compassionate and kind is a super important goal.

Because, for some, Christmas means you are experiencing a whole lot of really tough feelings and not quite so much of the joy and family happiness.
Allowing yourself the grace to find a way to safely feel those tough feelings is important.

Look I'm not thinking this includes our major shopping centres - they have a different agenda! 😉..but lets all embrace the enthusiastic Christmas decorators! I'm personally hoping one pops by my place soon and has me excited to get our Christmas tree out of the garage and all alight! 🎄

Creating a healthy boundary for ourselves is asking - What do I need for me to feel safe and ok right now?

In it's efforts to keep us safe anxiety can get a little too busy distorting things so we end up seeing reality a little differently than the people around us.

With or without floaties is just fine. 🩵
