Your regular reminder that exposure to pathogens such as harmful bacteria and viruses is not the same as exposure to good bacteria. Like drinking a probiotic yoghurt is not the same as drinking sewage. 📢

I just bought these two excellent books and find them a rich feast for reflection. Definitely worth a read and a very useful tool for therapy I think too

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

“Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.” Hermann Hesse Autumn brings a reminder… we don’t have to carry everything into the next season with us. What might you hold onto… and what might you let go of? #Autumn #Wellbeing #SelfCompassion Artwork Simply_Anxious
Illustrated artwork by simply anxious  autumn wellbeing graphic titled ‘Autumn Reminders’, surrounded by leaves and seasonal illustrations. Six reminders encourage slowing down, letting go of what feels too heavy, being gentle with yourself, resting, trusting the season you’re in, and getting outside to breathe

Put Recovery Supporting Rituals (RSR's) on autopilot. Trauma recovery stalls & skips when we're overwhelmed by too many decisions. Don't leave your RSR's up to your mood or memory. Build them into your day & reduce the friction to doing them. Successful recovery is a lifestyle.

"The male gaze" was never just a theory of cinema. It's a structuring principle of how we are forced to live under patriarchy. Men surveill in order to control (exploit, punish). To be surveilled (seen, identified) is therefore to be feminised, in patriarchal logic.

It doesn't have to have an immersive sensory component to be a flashback. Emotional & somatic flashbacks ("body memories") often fly under the radar as "flashbacks," because they lack that distinctive visual "wipe" effect-- we think we're just suddenly feeling small or sick.

If you’re an overthinker & find it difficult to unlatch the burdensome thoughts there’s one thing I found the works more than meditation, breathing & other things. That’s humming. Sing or hum a song or a tune. Impossible for worrying thoughts to maintain their possession of you while humming.
