Ever heard the platitude…
“Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.”
… and wondered HOW ON EARTH anyone was supposed to live up to it?!?!
Because even if it’s true, you can’t stop the worry on a dime just by repeating words handed down from a well-meaning person to a well-meaning person.
Platitudes aren’t enough.
You deserve more support.
How about… “Buck-up Buttercup”?
In addition to not worrying, the motivational poster makers are also keen on us getting over whatever is making us sad through self-enforced cheerfulness.
We’re sure you see the theme already… but humor us.
Does anyone really think that fake-smiling when you feel washed out with sadness and hopelessness is the path to meaningful healing and a happier life?! No, not really.
But there is an instinct to smile for the benefit of others.
We understand that you want to protect the people you love.
Let us help you also take care of yourself.
There is something to be said for “Forgive and Forget.”
Except that forgetting traumatic events that have been mapped onto your brain and body isn’t a quick-fix situation.
No matter how much you try to forget, the memories and feelings keep coming back.
You’re left feeling jumpy, fearful, angry, and sleep-deprived from a combination of nightmares and insomnia.
It doesn’t have to feel that way. Therapeutic techniques can create the space and perspective needed to process the past. It’s possible to feel free.
We can help.
