We're making a place for you to be seen.

Saw this screenshot in a group and it really resonated with me, found out it's from this article 👇🏼🤩. Well worth a read 👀

Also I don't know where I stand with sharing a screenshot of an article. Am I OK to do this? I'll take it down if it is a problem.
"Whenever we gather groups of neurodivergent people together, the idea that we can’t socialize well begins to seem rather silly. We certainly don’t socialize like neurotypicals do, but we have our own set of social rules as well as consequences for breaking them.

We don’t do small talk. We enjoy parallel play and shared activities that don’t require continual conversation. When we talk, it gets deep quickly. We discuss what’s real, our struggles, fears, desires, obsessions. We appreciate a good infodump, and there’s no such thing as oversharing. We swap SAME stories — sharing a time when we felt similarly in our own life, not as a competition, but to reflect how well we are listening to each other."

We ARE the stories we tell ourselves.

Repost from Trauma impacts much more than just our prefrontal cortex or our behavioral activation system. It impacts our whole being—and it must be treated from a whole being perspective. Importantly, any legitimate trauma treatment must consider all of our being—the entirety of our body-mind—not just our thoughts and behaviors, alone.

Remembering the Body

There are many brave researchers and practitioners who have made important contributions to our understanding of how to treat trauma. One of the most useful models for understanding how to understand trauma comes from Peter Levine's conceptualization of the constituents of phenomenological experience that he has memorialized through the catchy acronym, SIBAM, and his work of Somatic Experiencing®.

What have you decided to to different?

Truth is a point of view.
Do you let lack of information intimidate you?

We do, sometimes.

We're learning to reframe, everything.

Tradition is for suckers. Learn WHY.

Allow yourself to Start, and see how it feels.

Then USE that Momentum, to get farther.

You'll realize what you need as you're rolling.

The first rule of success in many things is simply to show up. ✍🏻

When you find yourself, protect YOU at all costs.

Since Clarity has become what we Peddle in most,

When did we stop being children?

Find your younger self.
Let them forgive your betrayal.
Determine who you are.
Decide your Purpose.

This is a strong theme for this Day

There are no adults.
Child psychology is adult psychology:
We're just more laden with rules and dissonant conventions.

There are strong hearted women in my life that are leading me to understand what Holding Space can be like.

And when you come to us with your Vision, we hold space to let you know you're not wyrd for having it.

We're here to celebrate your Journey, the dark and the light.

Our lives are wholistic. We cannot separate our minds from our hearts.

Let us all learn how to facilitate active listening for those who need a wing to be heard under.

Are you learning to self regulate
your chemicals, your point of view?

hey fellow folks who were designated as 'gifted' growing up? they weren't wrong, they just didn't specify who the 'gifts' were from. turns out it was the fae

Twitter user Wizardgradstudent (...):
It's true, when I was a kid a fae asked me "hello child, may I have your attention?" And I said "oh sure what's up?" I've had ADHD ever since. Does that make me a fae pact warlock?

You are here to :
PLAY
LEARN
and be KIND

Breathe Well : Drink Water
Stay Curious : Understand Love

Wow, this puts things into perspective when it comes to our purpose.

💙 Teach Through Love
When we approach children with openness, staying mindful of their personal space, their brains sense our calm reassurance.
Bend down to your child's level.
Gently place a hand on their shoulder.
Wait for them to acknowledge your presence or make eye contact before making requests.
This kind of connection sends an entirely different message than the one we convey with a raised eyebrow and a loud sigh or our cheerful nudges.
Instead of:
Minimizing: You're making a big deal out of nothing.
Try this:
Recognizing: This is really important to you.
Instead of:
Rationalizing: Just try it. You might like it.
Try this:
Validating: I know that's not what you wanted.
Instead of:
Dismissing: You're fine. It was an accident.
Try this:
Allowing: Looks like you got startled.
Instead of:
Redirecting: Come on, don't be sad.
Try this:
Investigating: I wonder what would help you feel better.

A reminder.

Let this dissolve under your tongue for a time.

Have you come to the point where you can simply offer Desert?
And not have your ego wounded when the signs say you're not a
Good Fit?

I'm still practicing. But that's what it takes.

We're dissolving The Super Ego, THEIR unhelpful modalities.

It’s important our children do not make rejection mean something about how worthy or important they are.
You can explain being rejected simply means what we’re offering does not fit with what the person wants or needs at that moment.

You can paint this visual for them:

“There’s always going to be someone who doesn’t like peaches. A peach is not less tasty because of it. And it doesn’t have to turn into an apple to be accepted by those who don’t like peaches. A peach just needs to find people who like and want peaches. Similarly, if someone rejects you or your work, it just means they don’t want or need what you have to offer.”

All around dang good advice.

It's comfortable to think anything is certain.

Study the Patterns
See that it is All Made Up
and it wasn't made for Good
it doesn't promote Love
It turns Compassion into Consumption
it is a Commodity itself run on Faith
This is how it becomes a root
OF EVIL

Ultimately it has done more harm than good.

Blessed to receive the thoughts-and-teaching of
The Quintessential Mind

We are in constant refinement.

Don't be sorry to reframe, rewrite, try again.

You ARE the Ideas you ruminate on constantly.
You ARE the Words you keep on your tonged.
You ARE the Actions and Deeds you perpetuate.

Think. Speak. Do.

Feed your head,
and be deterministic about
WHO you ARE.

What do you need to learn to set down?
What do you see now, no longer serves you.

Breathe deep water-siblings.

A man after our own heart.
