Lets Talk Mental Health on Instagram: "Rejection ranks among the most potent and distressing events that people experience in life. Rejection by a loved one, a romantic relationship, ostracism, stigmatization, job termination, and other kinds of rejections have the power to compromise the quality of a person’s life. As a result, people are highly motivated to avoid social rejection, and, indeed, much of human behavior appears to be designed to avoid such experiences. Whether the rejection we experience is large or small, one thing remains constant — it always hurts, and it usually hurts more than we expect it to. I just want to remind you that you are worthy of a genuine & safe love. You are worthy of a job that pays & treats you fairly, you are worthy of fun & strong friendships. Don’
Support Page for Mental Health Professionals on Instagram: "We’ve all had those moments where we get stuck in session whether it’s we don’t know where to go, a brain fart, our client reveals or asks something and we’re stomped on how to respond, or if a family/couple is having an intense argument in the middle of session and we’re having trouble diffusing it. 😫🤯 • Feeling stuck can come from a variety of places and it happens to us all. Sometimes it’s helpful to have a few practical phrases to use in order to slow the session down, interrupt the process, and even allow us to ground ourselves so we can gain clarity and become present again with our body and our thoughts.😮‍💨🧠 • I’ve had this conversation with my supervisees and these are some of the phrases I shared for when we’re stuck

Primal Trust™ - Dr. Cathleen King on Instagram: "Understanding your nervous system is a game-changer for personal growth and healing. Polyvagal Theory shows us how our nervous system moves through states—shutdown, freeze, fight/flight, and connection. Learning to recognize and respond to these states is the foundation of building safety within ourselves. In Primal Trust, we teach how to map your nervous system, recognize its needs, and respond with care. This practice builds interoception—your ability to tune into your body’s internal signals and meet your needs effectively. 💡 This is what re-parenting yourself looks like: Recognizing your state. Responding with compassion. Teaching your nervous system and limbic system that safety starts with YOU. Over time, this creates deep self-tr

Julie Menanno on Instagram: "Around 80% of you will relate to one category more than the others. Those who don’t will probably be either closer to the secure category and thus have more flexible responses to relationship stress, or will be closer to the disorganized category and have more unpredictable responses to relationship stress. Also, keep in mind that attachment theory is meant to be applied to relationships with the strongest attachment bonds. Yes, attachment styles will show up in other relationships outside of your closest ones, but it’s not the same intensity or context. If you try to apply the theory to anyone and everyone in your life, things can start to get murky. Most people will have a similar attachment style in all of their romantic relationships throughout life (withou

Linda Meredith Ctcrc-s on Instagram: "Why don't domestic abuse victims "just leave"? It's not that simple. Some of the key reasons include: • Fear of escalated violence • Emotional attachment to abuser • Financial dependence • Concern for children's well-being • Cultural or religious pressures • Psychological trauma • Safety risks of leaving • Lack of support systems Remember: Leaving is a process, not an event. It takes an average of 7 attempts before a survivors leave permanently.

NICABM on Instagram: "How can we help clients better understand when their nervous system is going into “defense mode”?⁠ ⁠ According to polyvagal theory, the nervous system has three pathways it can follow in the face of a threat. By helping clients map these pathways, they can begin to identify their triggers and develop strategies for staying grounded.⁠ ⁠ That’s why we made this free infographic based on the work of Stephen Porges, PhD, and Deb Dana, LCSW.
