Prioritizing one's self & that thing called self care... Distorted guilt, genuine empathic pulls and the FOMO often contribute to a lifetime of subtle contortions and hindered sense of where to place our energy. Sorting this out can be a quick path towards greater contentedness and stronger relationships. I was glad to share some insights for this thoughtful piece - try your own version of this and see how it feels. https://www.nbcnews.com//what-happened-when-i-put-myself-f

Wise words & great video from @TaraBrach. The guilt and shame tied to #PTSD keeps us in a shallow loop of self blame and pathogenic thinking. We stay frozen in this, negate our ability to build compassion towards ourselves & limit the degree to which we let others in. And the cycle continues. Break that loop. Reach out for support. https://www.psychologytoday.com//find/201703/soul-recovery

Empathy and high emotional intelligence can be both a blessing and (without optimal coping/filtering tools) a burden.
