I turned 35 today!

It's been a hard year but I'm grateful for so much in my life.

I know this next year is going to have some pretty big difficulties but hoping there's many lighter moments for us all ✨️

For now I'm taking the week in my happy place w/my partner & woofs!

How're b'days for you? 💚

Your lives matter and I'm so sorry this world and the people in it ever make you feel that your lives don't.

(I have included "name unknown" in the list to show the full extent of lives lost too soon. This includes those lost by suicide)

The aim of therapy is to empower someone to help themselves. This is done in lots of ways, but we are essentially working ourselves out of a job 😅

I learned about this due to my reactive dog 😅

But I feel like the sink analogy by Dr. Sarah Heath is transferable to human emotional regulation, too.

Does this resonate with you? 💧

Here's my pumpkins. I did all but the face carved one 😆🎃 they are tiny home-grown pumpkins, though, so it was tricky.

Are you carving/painting pumpkins this year? 💚

Harvested my pumpkins to decorate for Friday 🎃

They grew by accident after I composted last years pumpkins 🤣 I'm pretty happy with them!

What're your thoughts on these?

So this website popped up...

Apparently, there's a "right way" to respond to someone's death when they're part of MAGA.

They're using this to try and get people targeted by their hate and fired. I'm not even in the US, but this is terrifying amongst everything else going on in the world.

They all ease things just a tiny bit to take you from feeling like you can't get through another day to surviving the day, and sometimes that's enough! 💚

Suicide Prevention Day ;

I know talking and selfcare aren't going to fix anything. Neither are self compassion or finding joy in the little things. But it can be a start to finding ways of managing and coping, to then tackle the environment that's causing distress.

September is a month of raising awareness for suicide prevention and chronic pain and illnesses, too.

Which is fitting, as the suicide rates for those with chronic illness can be up to 9x higher than the national average.

I can't speak to anyone else, but to me, knowing my dogs has always been worth those considerations 💚

Drop a 🐶 in the comments if you’re thankful for the love and light your dog brings into your life — and tell us your dog’s best mood-boosting trick!

Most things in life are a process 💚

A big question in therapy is when will I know when I'm done? And it's such a difficult question to answer for someone else because it is an ongoing process and will continue to be after therapy, too.
