There are moments when the urge to hurt yourself can feel so strong that it’s hard to think beyond the next few minutes.

In that moment, you don’t need to fix your life. You don’t need to work everything out. Your job is simply to get through the urge safely.

Put some distance between you and anything you could use to hurt yourself. Change where you are. Give your body something else to focus on. Tell somebody what’s happening, even if all you can say is, “I don’t feel safe on my own right now.”

And remember - an urge isn’t an instruction. It can rise, feel overwhelming and then come down again. Sometimes getting through it means taking things 10 minutes at a time.

Please save this for a difficult day. You might not need it today, but one day you could. And share it because someone scrolling quietly through Facebook might need to see it more than you know. 💜

If you feel you might seriously hurt yourself or can’t keep yourself safe, please seek urgent professional help!

Amazing!!!

🦦🔎 Meet Splash, an Asian small-clawed otter trained by Peace River Search & Rescue in Florida to detect the scent of human remains underwater—something especially useful in murky, low-visibility conditions.

🌊 He has taken part in 20+ search missions and helped locate four bodies, using bubbles that trap scent molecules before he inhales them to track the source. An extraordinary example of animal abilities being used in rescue work.

The physiology of trauma is unique to each individual. 💎👣👁️ In other words:

The way YOUR body responds to and heals from trauma is very specific to your own biology, history, and capacity.

Parents
As parents, mentors, grandparents, guardians, friends, we only want our children to be healthy and happy, but there isn’t a manual for that.
So, we either try to do better than our parents did or emulate their successes- seems logical except we are NOT our parents - and things are NOT the same.
The hardest part about raising children is the fine line we walk, letting them have their voice and experiences and letting them know where the boundaries are to which they can speak safely while protecting them from the things, the pain, we all went through but…
They have to fall in order to rise.
They have to learn accountability.
They must respect living things and teaching them mutual trust is imperative.
So, standing our ground on responsibility, respect, and kindness is never a give - all the rest is.
It’s silly to hover and try to control.
They will test us; sadden us, elate us and give us gray hair. But trying to subdue their interests, intelligence and intuition will backfire.
Resentment will be huge.
Don’t shut them down, but don’t let them cross your line.
It’s an incredible task, especially when they hurt and we can’t get inside their head.
All we can do is our best by being there and or be a presence at arms-length. When we love them up and give them space to be who they are - they flourish and they grow.
