Trauma and PTSD

What is Trauma therapy Trauma therapy is just that – a form of talk therapy aimed at treating the emotional and mental health consequences of trauma. Trauma therapy is not one specific type of therapy. Instead, a variety of therapies can be used alone or together to help you deal with the trauma and move on […]

Coping strategies are the actions we take to deal

Coping strategies are the actions we take to deal with stress, problems, or uncomfortable emotions.

Unhealthy coping strategies often provide instant gratification or relief, but have long-term negative consequences and can be harmful to yourself and others. A pattern of using unhealthy coping skills usually leads to poor relationships with others.

In contrast, healthy coping strategies don’t always feel good in the moment, but they contribute to long-lasting positive outcomes. A healthy coping skill doesn't harm you or other people, physically or emotionally.

We are at capacity! Stop trying to add more thing

We are at capacity! Stop trying to add more things to your to-do list. Stop saying yes to requests you have no space for. Hydrate and eat properly. Call your friend and share what you’re feeling. Take a breath. Go for a walk outside. Stop putting on this front that you’re perfect. Just stop and rest.

Emotional exhaustion and burnout is real. And if we don’t listen, it can quickly turn into depression.

So, instead of pushing through…and pretending everything is fine, maybe we need to pause and start listening.

You are not a robot.

Stop expecting yourself to not be human and feel human things.

Stop analyzing, labeling and acknowledge that these cycles of unknowns and inconsistencies naturally make us feel anxious.

AND that while it may be what feels familiar, all we have known, we also have a choice over what we continue to know.

This is not to say that we need to throw attachment out the window or ignore relationship anxiety-but simply include the fact that some contexts/situations will naturally trigger a stress/anxiety response.

⁠People who we label as emotionally unavailable

⁠People who we label as emotionally unavailable often get a bad rep of being avoidant and un-feeling. However; people who aren't in touch with their emotions are often doing a great deal of unconscious work to push aside big and difficult feelings because they are scary and overwhelming. Feelings are overwhelming as is, but for the emotionally unavailable, they can barely understand their own feelings, let alone understand what their partners are feeling. ⁠
⁠
Being emotionally unavailable can be rooted in the person's childhood. As a child, they learned to quiet their emotions and unattach themselves from other people. Unaddressed childhood wounds and beliefs no doubt effect their adult relationships. ⁠
⁠
If you find yourself in a relationship with someone who exhibits emotionally unavailable behaviour, it's certainly worth having a conversation about what you've noticed. This gives an emotionally unavailable person the choice to do something different (if they're capable) and to become aware of the wall they are putting up. They can then choose to do the work, in the beginning, to take the wall down, or not. ⁠
⁠
Remember, you can't make anyone do anything they don't want to do. If you find your needs aren't being met in your current relationship even after having a conversation about your partner's behaviour, it may be time to re-assess if this is truly the relationship you want to be in.⁠

Deep-rooted fears of being alone can normally be traced back to childhood, especially if you experienced neglect, abandonment or rejection. This can lead to attachment issues and create a need for connection and love, sometimes at the cost of your emotional wellbeing. Relationships which hide a fear of being alone are normally built on insecurity and a deep unmet need for connection.

Emotional monitoring can be EXHAUSTING. This is wh

Emotional monitoring can be EXHAUSTING. This is when you have anxiety with constantly anticipating other's emotional states by asking for frequent reassurance, "are you sure you're okay?", or makes deliberate decisions to avoid other's feeling uncomfortable or difficult emotions.

This often gets mixed up for empathy -- and sure, you can have empathy AND emotional monitoring tendencies but a key difference is if it's a response or a state.

Empathy is a response to an external stimulus -- emotional monitoring is a constant state of monitoring/checking to anticipate for future negative situations.

Emotional monitoring can get in the way of being present, allowing the fluidity of human emotions (there's good AND bad), and makes it hard to really connect with others when you are fearful vs. attentive.
