Do you invalidate your own trauma? Do you tell yourself that you can't let it affect you because someone else has it worse? How is that working for you? Do you still feel the impact and effects of your trauma? Stop invalidating yourself and stop comparing yourself to others. YOU MATTER! No matter the "size" of the trauma that has happened in your life, if it is affecting you, you deserve to be supported. Everyone reacts differently to trauma. Seek professional mental health help to get the support you deserve. YOU ARE WORTH IT. #mentalhealth #youmatter #trauma #traumahealing #psychology #therapy #talktherapy #seekhelp #kindnessinmotion

Childhood trauma can profoundly shape an individual’s emotional and psychological landscape, affecting self-esteem, relationships, and overall mental health. It can stem from various sources, such as family conflict, abuse, neglect, or loss. These experiences can lead to long-lasting effects, including anxiety, depression, and difficulties in forming healthy connections. Through evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or trauma-focused therapy, psychologists guide clients in developing coping strategies and fostering resilience. #MentalHealth #TraumaInformedCare #ClinicalPsychology #HealingJourney

It’s not uncommon for folx to think that therapy is a service that’s reserved for people who’ve hit bottom. However, there are a few issues with this belief. For starters, most of us experience a slow progression into a mental health funk. The slow nature of this progression desensitizes us to our symptoms, and we end up being a poor judge of our current state in life and our baseline functioning. Meaning, our ability to assess our mental health needs is greatly impaired. Secondly, there’s no logic in waiting for things to get really bad. Why waste time decompensating when we could be getting our life back on track? It’s not just the individual experiencing the mental health symptoms, but it’s their entire support system who also suffers when their loved one functions at a lower-than-usual capacity. The best time to seek therapy is when you first start contemplating to get help.

We need a paradigm shift in how we view mental illness, emphasizing the primary role that emotional trauma, developmental trauma, and attachment trauma must play in mental health diagnosis. The traditional models often overlook the profound impact that these types of trauma have on an individual's mental health. By recognizing and integrating these factors into our diagnostic criteria, we can move towards a more holistic and effective approach to mental health care. This shift will not only enhance our understanding of mental illnesses but also lead to more targeted and compassionate treatments, ultimately improving the lives of those affected. #MentalHealth #TraumaInformedCare #EmotionalTrauma #DevelopmentalTrauma #AttachmentTrauma #MentalHealthDiagnosis #HolisticHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #CompassionateCare #MentalWellbeing #MentalHealthRevolution #ParadigmShift #MentalHealthMatters
