I am launching a new office tomorrow- which I am absolutely pumped about! But it’s honestly been a little hard to promote it while taking in so much heaviness that is quite loud around the world - both near and far.
As a provider who supports so many (too many. Any single instance at all is too many) who have experienced sexual trauma, and as a sensitive human who feels empathy deeply, I’m needing to take care of myself intentionally.
And maybe you need to make a little intentional effort to show up for your body, too.
Maybe this looks like an earlier bedtime, a book instead of a show, a longer shower (or even better a bath!), taking moments to slow down your breathing, decrease your walking pace, lower the pitch (music people is that even right?) of your voice, co-regulate with an extra long hug with someone you love, opt for a slower/less intense workout (or maybe you need to go crank out a heavy lift).
The opportunities are endless and the best things are often the simplest - though not easy to actually make happen.
I know this video is long and if you watch it to the end that makes one of us because I hate watching / hearing my own content like this. It’s not what the algorithm wants and our ever-decreasing attention spans make watching a long yap video true torture.
BUT I think it needs to be said.
So take what you will from it, friends.
It’s worth actually checking in with how you’re doing. This world is a complicated place. But there’s always hope. And we get the chance every day to go prove it. Which is the whole reason we are opening a second office. More space + more therapists = more people that can experience healing. And that healing is never limited to just the physical measures we track. You’re so much more than your bones and muscles. (Which is saying a lot from a person who truly adores anatomy)
Be gentle with yourselves, always. Especially if you’re struggling extra lately and aren’t sure why.
Are you feeling heavy this week?
