Butterfly Therapeutics

Sometimes, individuals with trauma histories struggle with interpreting neutral cues as negative.

Something that seems like a common way of phrasing can really result in overthinking how you said it; creating doubts.

TIP 💡
You can help this by intentionally using affirming language. This helps to confirm that you want them there and helps to remove any doubts.

Do you think you can try this next time? 😊

Happy National Pickleball Day!!!

Remember that Movement is Medicine 💊
And we have natural medicines all around us if we want to take the time to tap into them!
The trick is finding movement that is fun for you! Pickleball is a fun all ages way to get moving and tap into that competitive side!

What did you do to move today? Did you take your natural medicine?

Are you placing a boundary? OR Are you asking a request or setting a rule? 🤔

Often, we feel our boundaries aren't being met, but sometimes, we aren't putting in a boundary at all. We are asking something from someone. That is a request and leaves the expectations and limits open to subjectivity.

Request: TV time is over, Turn off the TV, please
Boundary: TV time is over, so I'll be turning it off if it's not by the time I get there.

Request: Can you give me time to just chill when I get home from work, please?
Boundary: I need at least 30 minutes to chill when I get home from work, but then I'll be happy to talk about our days!

If you feel like boundaries aren't being met. First, make sure you are wording it in the form of a boundary. Then, use respectful, open, and honest communication to express yourself if more needs to be done!

Relationships Can Improve!
With Work, Patience, and Kindness! ❤️

🌟Monday Motivation🌟

Sometimes, it's easy to look at others, but it's really hard to look at ourselves. But we are the only ones we can control!

So we gotta get used to recognizing our own flaws and missteps, owning them, and then learning from them with an ACTION STEP that can be used to make it different in the future!

Motivate yourself to use these statements and practice this Power of Self Ownership 💪

🌟Monday Mental Motivation🌟

Sometimes, our struggles, thoughts, and emotions become so intense that we become them. In that moment, we aren't just feeling/thinking sad or angry. We ARE sadness and/or anger.

One thing we need to remember is that an exaggerated version of that emotion in our head is a part! Not the self! Identifying the self can be taught and mastered!

You Are Not the Rain! Not Today or Ever!

It Gets Better!

As many of you know, I have been a major MTV The Challenge fan since 2000 and started watching Wes Bergmann in 2005 on the real world. To be 💯% honest, when I saw he was doing an entrepreneur reality show, I was in simply cause it was him!

If you also know me, you know Wes has always been my favorite Challenger because I used to say, "He's a genius and plays this game with a psychological strategy and a physical one!" Well, my time on The Blox and going to Blox Grad School showed me all these years that I was 1000% right! This man is a genius! What he has taught me about business, entrepreneurship, the ideas of success, and that you can live in your path and still get it all is matched by no other education I have ever received!

I feel blessed to have had this experience and honored to continue to learn from him, his team, and from BetaBlox has a whole! I'm so ready to fly🦋 and help as many as I can along the way!

Happy April Fool's Day! As a reminder, this day is meant to be a fun, light, and enjoyable experience!

Please be mindful that all jokes are in good spirit. ALSO, please be mindful of what you post online. Just because one family, couple, or set of friends thinks it's funny doesn't mean everyone will. We want to enjoy the humor of our inner circle without triggering others. Besides that, HAVE FUN TODAY!

The dimensions of wellness help to holisticly look at your life in different aspects to ensure your whole system is getting what it needs to thrive! When one aspect of your life feels lost, stressed, or is not meeting your needs then your whole system can experience symptoms!

This is overall wellness! This is what Butterfly Therapeutics focuses on!

Why Hello! I'm Amy.

Being apart of the LGBTQIA+ community and growing up experiencing generational trauma, I became oh too familiar with that detached and unseen feeling. I mean in a crisis I was great! But aren't most children survivors? It was those everyday tasks and relationships that seemed so hard.

Through my own healing and teachings as a Holistic Therapist I learned to become unstuck from the past and find peace in the present. This is now what I do for my clients! I combine evidence-based practices with holistic full system wellness to help my clients find their peace and power!

You don't have to know where to start. That's where I come in. You just have to know...IT'S TIME.
