โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน Finding healthy self esteem and self love post-trauma is challenging. Because trauma has a way of convincing us that weโ€™re broken, untrustworthy, and undeserving of love. So how do we get from trauma survivor to Q***r Baddie thriver?

๐Ÿ’— We invest in healing and developing self love.

๐Ÿšซ Rather than follow the outdated coaching, like:
1๏ธโƒฃ Never bragging/talking honestly about strengths
2๏ธโƒฃ Using shame to coach ourselves into being a good person
3๏ธโƒฃ Using affirmations just once a day
4๏ธโƒฃ Caring for others first in order to improve self esteem
5๏ธโƒฃ Focusing on never doing anything wrong

โœ… Weโ€™re going to focus on:
1๏ธโƒฃ Speaking to our strengths honestly
2๏ธโƒฃ Using kind internal coaching to motivate ourselves
3๏ธโƒฃ Using regular, internal affirmations and validations
4๏ธโƒฃ Meeting our own needs first before offering help to others
5๏ธโƒฃ Honoring humanity, taking accountability when wrong

๐Ÿ“ˆ When we do these things, we build a positive self love thatโ€™s achievable because itโ€™s grounded in reality and built through regular, non-shaming practice.

๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿผ Which is a wonderful firm foundation for healing.

โ˜•๏ธ PSSSSSST, want some trauma tea? โ˜•๏ธ

๐ŸงŸโ€โ™€๏ธ Those scary emotions you haveโ€”theyโ€™re not monsters, theyโ€™re just data you havenโ€™t been ready to look at yet. AND looking closer is exactly what you need to do if you want to heal.

๐Ÿซฃ I know, I know. That sounds scary. But hear me out:
When weโ€™re afraid, we tend to miss things. Sometimes those things are very important. Like in the case of running away from our scary, post-trauma emotions.

๐Ÿ™ˆ In that case, what we miss are the very important details about how we can heal.

๐Ÿ•ต๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ So, stop running. Get curious instead. Only then can the healing begin. Oh, and, fwiw, we can take that look little by little over time as you feel ready.

๐Ÿคช Wild concept, right? ๐Ÿคช

๐Ÿ›‚ In this life, weโ€™ve been coached into a lot of โ€œcorrectโ€ ways to behave. But...some of them are just straight up social control when you unpack them.

๐Ÿšซ Who needs more of that in this, the year of our regime in chiefโ€™s ceaseless-attempts-at-social-control-preposterousness, 2025?

โ›”๏ธ Not me. And Iโ€™m guess not you either, Q***r Baddie.

๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿผ So letโ€™s do us all a favor and start normalizing setting healthy boundaries. My guess is that weโ€™ll all be the better for it. And doesnโ€™t that sound nice??

๐Ÿ˜‚ Omnomnomโ“

๐ŸŽ In this life, we are what we take in. Whether thatโ€™s the food we eat, the company we keep, the content we consume, the contributions of our inner critic, or the kind of treatment we accept.
๐Ÿง  We have to be thoughtful about what we take in. Otherwise, we end up taking in things that arenโ€™t healthy for us.
๐Ÿšฎ Just like weโ€™d throw out spoiled milk, we have to throw out the other things that make us sick.
๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Including:
๐Ÿšซ hateful internal dialogue ๐Ÿšซ
๐Ÿšซ toxic relationships ๐Ÿšซ
๐Ÿšซ... and even problematic parasocial content creators ๐Ÿšซ

๐Ÿ™€ Shooketh?

โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน Usually, I find that there are a *lot* of little changes that make big differences in peopleโ€™s healing journeys. Ones that donโ€™t seem like they would, but do. In fact, sometimes they make the biggest difference. Here are three of the things I see make powerful differences for Q***r Baddies healing from trauma:

1๏ธโƒฃ Set the expectation with yourself that your healing is a journey, and it wonโ€™t be a straight pathโ€”it will be one of detours, roundabouts, and exploring new landscapes.
2๏ธโƒฃ Invest in trusting yourself. Your gut holds wisdom; we need you to listen to it, and feel GOOD about listening to it. Your gut becomes your compass through the healing journey.
3๏ธโƒฃ Spend time with queermunity. Us humans are pack animalsโ€”we need each other. Thatโ€™s especially true while healing; we just canโ€™t do it alone. The more we allow ourselves to receive love, the better weโ€™ll heal and be able to give love back in the future.

๐Ÿ˜ฌ Before ๐Ÿซฃ โ€”> ๐ŸŒˆAfterโœจ

Post-trauma, itโ€™s totally normal and okay to feel:
โ€ข Trapped in the past
โ€ข Overwhelmed by the day to day
โ€ข Triggered at random
โ€ข Unable to believe or trust in yourself
โ€ข Unsure if youโ€™ll heal
๐ŸŽฌ Just because you start that way, doesnโ€™t mean youโ€™ll end that way.

๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ With supportive therapy, youโ€™ll gain a better understanding of your triggers and how to manage them, which will mean youโ€™re set up to slay all your days to come! Which means a BIG boost in self trust and confidence, as you consistently take care of yourselfโฃ๏ธ
