To me, a heart full to bursting with a multitude of divergent emotions all at once is the essence of joy. Joy is not “happiness.” Joy is not “positive.” Joy is ALL OF IT—from top to bottom, all around, cutting off nothing. #joy #fulness #emotions #wellbeing #deeptherapist

We all need band-aids when we’re bleeding. But we also need help to see the wounds clearly, so we can accurately tend to them and help them heal. #deeptherapist #Emotions #Griefadvocate

Your #human brain also possesses the unique #capacity for self-awareness. When you can step back and become aware of your automatic responses, you have the power to decide whether it’s wise to actually act automatically or not. #brainwise #goodtherapy #deeptherapist #CORwork

Disappointment is a specific flavor of grief, and it’s ubiquitous in times of #lost dreams. If not allowed, disappointment can morph into toxic emotions like resentment, shame, or depression. #disappointment #emotions #deeptherapist

The #stories we create to explain our painful emotions are usually unconscious, yet these stories play a crucial role in how we treat ourselves. By making these stories conscious, you can learn to shift the narrative toward self-reassuring & self-compassion. #deeptherapist

To try to bounce back to our old ways of being is to refuse to accept that there is no going back as much as we’d like to, and to turn away from the pain that comes from radical growth that’s being forced upon us whether we want to face it or not. #deeptherapist #nogoingback

There’s no way to move, no way to grow, if it feels like you’re required EITHER to love and appreciate your parents, OR to admit their flaws and therefore feel anger or grief. That’s an unsolvable dilemma for many people. #deeptherapist

In the process of that complete shattering and rebuilding, I had to bear intense existential emotions — despair, helplessness, lack of control, mortality, loneliness, anguish. All in the context of culture and age-group that did not want to know anything about my experience. #deeptherapist #CORWork

As you learn to face and express your own painful emotions, you learn how to accompany others when they feel painful emotions, instead of perpetuating the isolation that so often accompanies grief in our world. #deeptherapist #pain #emotions #feel

Our culture is full of shoulds & prescriptions. People will tell you that you MUST move to prevent depression, or to pull yourself out of the (very normal) sluggishness of grief. Instead, listen to your own body. Allow it to guide you. #deeptherapist #yourgriefisyourown #CORwork

It’s kind of #crazy, but your brain is wired such that when you feel an intense emotion, it agitates your lower brain in an uncomfortable way. And the primary thing that helps that #emotion settle down is for it to be accurately named! #griefadvocte #deeptherapist
