✨ ️Finding ME at 40 ✨️
Episode 1: Inner Child Work🤸‍♀️

I was diagnosed with c-ptsd later in life but have struggled with it the majority of my life. The complexity of c-ptsd stems from not receiving certain things in your life or receiving them but they weren't consistent, for a prolonged amount of time. I struggled with my self esteem as a teenager & the confusing feelings of not understanding why I felt so alone when I would be surrounded by people?!

I look at these pictures of me when I was younger & my heart bursts with joy seeing what a fun, talkative, bubbly, outgoing child that I was. I could make friends with anyone, I wanted to be a part of every event & I loved to dance around everywhere I went. I had no fears, no cares in the world! 💛

As I grew up, I started to feel like things were missing or I was always doing things wrong! It really started to wear on my confidence, my physical body & my ability to put myself out there. I stated to retreat & hide from the world.

INNER CHILD WORK saved my life. You mean I could reparent my younger self⁉️ I could give her the confidence to step out again❗️I could reassure her that she was doing well when she felt like a failure❗️I could enjoy something fun with her when she was feeling alone or not seen⁉️

So, that's what I do. Every single day! I named my inner child "baby girl" & I talk to her daily. It might seem weird to do at first but I promise that will pass. I also keep pictures up around my house of me when I was younger. It helps to see them!

We all deserve to feel safe, seen, cared for & happy! Sometimes our inner child forgets this. It's our responsibility to remind her again. By doing this, I'm able to live a well rounded life & get outside my comfort zone more! Fear can steal away so much, but we don't have to let it.

✨️🤸‍♀️ MORE on Inner Child Work to come! 🤸‍♀️✨️

❓️ Did this article resonate with you ❓️

I hope you all have a beautiful day! Make sure you do something for YOU today! You deserve it!💛

Yesterday was ....

💚 NATIONAL MENTAL HEALTH DAY 💚

I have written this paragraph 3 times & deleted it. I was trying to be super positive & trying to make a lesson out of this topic. But, you know what... I created this page to be venerable so others don't feel alone. With that being said, I'm going to share how I'm feeling right now because I've learned it's OK to not always be positive & upbeat. Sometimes, mental illness just SUCKS & it's OK to share those parts as well ⁉️‼️

💚 I HATE Mental Illness! It hurts!

💚 I hate how it flares up when I'm about to go do something really fun or important to me!

💚 I hate how it causes me such fear at times, that I won't do something I would have loved!

💚 I hate how it makes life hard to walk in at times. It can get pretty lonely!

💚 I hate how it makes me want to hide! Like a bear going into hibernation. I don't want anyone to see me or look at me!

💚 I hate how it makes me feel less than. I hate this because I know it's NOT true.

I hate all this because I used to think I WAS my mental illness! Over the years I realized it's just a PART of me that likes to come around at times (like a bad penny🤷‍♀️🤣). When I realized this, I was able to separate myself from it & see that these times were just flare ups, they weren't who I was as a person. 💚 You are not your mental illness!

At 40, I can now say that I know myself pretty well. I keep on top of my mental health, pretty damn well if I say so myself😁. If you struggle with this you know even when you're doing everything right, it rears it's ugly head at the worst of times! I learned through the smiles and the tears that it takes time, patience & great understanding to walk through life with mental illness by your side.

If you are a Mental Health Warrior, I SEE YOU!🫶 Never forget how capable you are! If you do, reach out to me & I'll remind you. ☺️💚🫶
