Experiencing Trauma Changes Your Needs

Treat yourself with some grace, trauma rewires the brain. After all we’re products of our environments and experiences. Being tortured for years I was no longer interested in the things I love, not as productive, and only able to handle a fraction of my usual activities. Sometimes I’d get upset with my new behavior, now I’m proud for having accomplished anything, pushing myself as best I could under the circumstances. Especially having a fried nervous system that prevented sleep, now I need more to heal and that’s okay. Sleep is a gift. Acknowledge your trauma and act accordingly. Via: Furthur_Coaching

It’s Not Unmanly To Struggle

Dear men,
You are human meaning you are allowed to be vulnerable, struggle and share your emotions. We need to stop telling you to man up. We are all apart of creating and perpetuating toxic masculinity. We’re sorry, feel free to be without our gender restraints. Let’s dismantle this together. How have you taken part in the cycle? How will you help end it? Via: Furthur_Coaching
