Long time ago, in a faraway land, when I was a medium sized lass, I hurt my back. No one actually figured out why it happened. Looking back I realize, 50% of it was depression and the rest of 50% was because I couldn’t lie down horizontally at night because of said depression. Only way I could get any sleep at night was if I curled up like a ball and used pillows to prop me up. Never told any one this, even the doctor who treated me. Cause I felt like I did something wrong and it was my fault.

This my very roundabout way of saying that don’t treat/raise your children as if they can’t come to you with their problems without feeling guilt or shame. #mentalhealth #parenting #trauma

You haven't become fear.

You are experiencing the emotion of fear - a completely natural and normal response to uncertainty.

Notice it. Examine it. Make room for it. Watch it as it moves around your body. Notice it's shape. Breathe into it and around it.

Say it out loud with me:
"I notice I am experiencing the emotion of fear. I am NOT fear."

Your willingness to make room for your emotions allows them to pass through you.

Hello friends! I am excited to (re)share the #mentalhealth project I started two years ago: littlebetterzine.com

Little Better Zines are free guides to evidence based coping skills – now expanded and redesigned with new info and improved accessibility.

These are techniques I often share with therapy patients, but I know not everyone has access to therapy. I hope you find these zines helpful, and I’d be grateful if you repost/share the link with anyone who might need them!
