Anger Rage Many think rage is anger. Anger can be a gentle flow. It can recede towards sadness. It can grow into rage. But it is neither of these things. ... Yes. Many are not taught how to recognize anger never mind how to process or integrate it. Anger is a necessary emotion. It is a guide. It is part of us. What we do with anger is important. Are you afraid of your anger?

During times of high energy/stress/anxiety our attachment styles can be amplified. Particularly with so much unknown, or abstract. It’s difficult to attach to a moving object. Attachment style shows up in our relationships with others as well as with our own mind/body balance. Here’s a great set of attachment styles, how those individuals respond and how we can respond to them.... Graphics courtesy of @silvykahoucasian on IG

A lot of my work as a psychotherapist right now has been crisis management. I am so grateful for all the work I have done in that field for the time I had.... ...It is giving me a refreshed perspective on the sexual health work I do. When the sexual health/truama work has become the "easy" and enjoyable work....it says something, for sure. Numerous times this week, I have gotten messages of gratitude for getting my book out there. For going ahead and fighting my fear and publishing it. I am filled with inspiration, gratitude...and ultimately...just LOVE for myself at the moment in that aspect of my being. Thank you all who have read it and given feedback!!

Well written. Good basic example of Fight, Flight, Freeze and a great introduction to Fawn. https://themighty.com//fight-flight-freeze-fawn-trauma-r/

Be like Dwight!!!! Would you go to an unlicensed surgeon?Attorney? Financial Advisor? A morbidly obese athletic coach? A stoned substance abuse counselor? No? I... always ask my clients, Do you have questions for me? After I do my intake. Ask! Please Ask! Good professionals want your questions! I’ve referred out often when I know that the needs of my clients are beyond my scope. I observe a lot of people practicing beyond their scope of training. Please don’t get psychotherapy from a life coach, yoga instructor, reiki healer, podiatrist (you get the point). I recently saw a yoga instructor eluding to emotions don’t live in the body!!!!!!! WRONG!!!!! DANGER! This person has no in-depth training in neuropsychology. Clearly has no concept of psychosomatic disease. It’s dangerous to take information blindly. Ask! Ask again if you’re unclear! Run like hell if it feels off! Take good proper care of yourself. Place your health in the right hands with the right pros. PLEASE! & THANK YOU! I promise to forever be a whistle blower for our health & safety. #ingoodhealth #intherighthands #mentalhealthawareness
