I cannot with conversion therapists. "We only want to make people comfortable with their natural bodies"
Yes, but you can't, you only do harm. There's no evidence, zero, that psychotherapy can cure gender dysphoria and the evidence is strong that conversion attempts harm kids.

Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy.
Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation.
If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.

Another reminder to let go of what served you at one point in your life, but now is a heavy weight.

It will be helpful to say this out loud:
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
"I set my intention to #release what no longer serves me"
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Let it go. It's served you at some point but doesn't anymore.

Grief is the connection that never dies.
Don't get over the losses of your loved ones. Grief keeps you connected. You're not supposed to get over it, but be in relation to it and let it transform with you.

In general you can see fear as telling you that something needs attention on the outside (often in the here and now), whereas anxiety shows you what needs attention on the inside, but most often in relation to the outside (past, present or to some degree future).

Parts of me feel driven to..
Ruminate; overthink; feel responsible for others' emotions..
I can now recognise, regulate, and choose a different way.
Can you relate?
These parts were our toolkits for survival in the past. Their aim is to protect.
