“If I am being honest, I want those who have hurt me to not only see my pain but to experience the pain. I want the intensity of my emotional baggage to transfer to them. I want them to experience what it is like to look up at the person you love, make eye contact through tears, and wonder why you were pushed to the ground with bleeding knees. I want them to experience what it is like to fantasize about the future with someone you love only to find out about their secret life. I want them to lay with a wet pillow wondering what they did wrong to deserve the pain. I want them to fall in love and then have that woman shatter them into pieces.” • • • Today on the blog is Monday Morning Minute where I’m chatting all about wanting others to see and feel our pain. As Christians, we want what’s best for others, right? But that’s insanely difficult when people hurt us, let us down, abuse us and lie to us. • • Click the link in my bio to read the full blog! • • • Do you struggle with wanting others to see your pain? How do you move through forgiveness? Are you challenged by wanting revenge? • • • • • • • #blogger #christianblogger #mentalhealthblogger #emotionalpain #domesticabuse #domesticviolence #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthmonday #christianvalues #faithoverfear #faithfulness #faithblogger #faithjournaling #romansculpture #emdr #traumahealing #forgivenessisfreedom #godisgood
Even though you’re my ex and we broke up two years ago, I’m thankful for you. I’m thankful for our friendship and our laughter that we share each time we are together. I’m thankful you helped raise my kiddo for 3 years and that you answer your phone when I need you. Im thankful you showed me what normal feels like and encouraged me to go back to school. I’m thankful that you “see” me. • • • Thanks for attending my Thanksgiving feast impromptu! I definitely wouldn’t have drank as much without you, but we surely had the best time.@cvillematic • • • • • • • #thanksgiving #happyholidays #charlottesville #virginia #friends #thankful #exboyfriend #relationships #happyeveryday #dailyinspiration #happy #friendship #stillfriends
“Like” means you trust me with the macaroni and cheese recipe. 🤪 • • • • • What’s your favorite holiday meal?? Mine is mashed potatoes, macaroni and gravy. Good LORD gravy.. drizzle that shit on everything! • • Just a lil turkey day reminder that the world is a world of abundance and make sure you enjoy all the food that you’re blessed with.. there’s no room for dieting in Thanksgiving! • • • • #holidays #holidaymeal #thanksgiving #thickwomen #curvywomen #holidays #dailymotivation #bodylove #bodyacceptance #bodyposi #bodypositivity #bodypositivitymovement #bodypositivequotes #nodiet #fuckdietculture #nourishyourself #nourishyourbody #nourishnotpunish #edrecovery #eatingdisordersupport #recoveryispossible
Cue *Man I Feel Like A Woman* by Shania Twain • • • I, for one, find that the best part about being a woman is the depth of emotions I have the privilege to experience. • • • • • • • #bodylove #bodyacceptance #curvywomen #bodypositivemovement #bodyposi #bodyacceptancemovement #bodypositivequotes #bodypositivepower #mentalhealthwarrior #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthrecovery #deepemotions #shaniatwain #thickwomen #stretchmarks #bodypositiveblogger #bodyneutrality #bodyneutral #womeninspiringwomen
I’m always in a rush. ________________________________________ “When will we move in together?” “When should I have another baby?” “Should I go for that promotion?” 🤯😩 I severely lack the skills to live in the moment and enjoy the present. One of my top skills is to think and plan for the future. ———————————————— PLEASE send me your top tips to enjoy the present because I am severely failing! • • • • • • #futurefocused #liveinthemoment #topskills #futureoriented #adviceneeded #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #inspirewomen #raleighinfluencers #raleigh #durham #chapelhill #northcarolina #cbt #dbt #therapyskills #therapysession #therapyiscool #curvywomen #liveinspired #bluesilverhair
Hey girl, Sometimes WE have toxic traits too. It isn’t just men that experience anger and jealously within relationships. ________________________________________ I don’t know about you but I have had previous boyfriends tell me to “seek help” or “you’re crazy” and actually.. they were kind right. 🙌🏻 Now, I am not talking about the gaslighting ones who are just projecting their own shitty behavior onto me. I’m talking about the ones that have told me “your behavior is unacceptable” or “your anger is displaced” ________________________________________ Thanks to these men for pointing out my toxic traits I worked (and still work) out my anger and hurt in therapy. I got on medication that balanced me out so I don’t feel like everything is hurtful, overwhelming and anxiety producing. ________________________________________ Have you had someone tell you to “get help” and you actually needed help? • • • • • • P.S ex bfs plz don’t comment 🤣🤣 • • #therapyiscool #therapysession #counselingsession #emdr #emdrtherapy #cbttherapy #cptsd #ptsd #ptsdsucks #ptsdhelp #ptsdawareness #ptsdrecovery #anxietyrelief #depressionhelp #mentalhealthwarrior #gethelp #onlinetherapy #relationshipadvice #heygirl #curvywomen #thickwomen #silverhair #greyhair #raleighinfluencers #raleigh #toxicpeople #toxicrelationships #mentalhealthday
