My Story: Learning to Give Myself Grace

Hi, I’m Britt, and I’m a chronic over-doer. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably filled your plate to the max, trying to do all the things. Prior to checking into a Trauma Recovery Center, I was:

✨ Enrolled in TWO master’s programs

✨ Working full-time

✨ A mom of two littles

✨ Navy Spouse

I thought being busy meant I was thriving, but in reality, I never gave myself a moment of peace. I didn’t know how to relax or have fun. And because of this, I struggled deeply with SI and depressive cycles.

💜 Good to Knows:

•I am openly AuDHD (autistic + ADHD)

•I’ve also suffered from a TBI, which has made my mental health journey more complex

I’ve been in this program for just 1.5 weeks, and already I feel like I’m growing as a person. Therapy is no joke—9 to 4 every day in both group and individual sessions. It’s emotionally draining, but it’s also the most transformative work I’ve ever done.

I’m so excited to bring you on this journey with me. Whether you’re a mom struggling to juggle it all, someone battling mental health challenges, or part of the neurodivergent community like me—you are not alone.

💡 The truth I’m learning: It’s hard work, but it’s worthwhile work. The most important work you can do.

Learning to give oneself grace is a significant journey for many, particularly for those facing mental health challenges or juggling multiple responsibilities. The importance of self-compassion cannot be overstated. Self-compassion involves treating ourselves with kindness during times of struggle, which can significantly impact our mental well-being. Practicing mindfulness can aid this process by promoting present-moment awareness, helping us to recognize negative thoughts and feelings without judgment. Additionally, being part of a supportive community is crucial. Whether it's connecting with other moms who understand the juggling act of parenting and work or engaging with neurodivergent individuals facing similar struggles, these connections foster a sense of belonging and validation. Resources such as support groups for moms, mental health workshops, and neurodivergent advocacy organizations can provide valuable insights and tools for navigating life’s challenges. Ultimately, it's vital to recognize that everyone’s journey is unique. By sharing our experiences and learning from one another, we can create a nurturing environment that encourages healing and personal growth. Embracing grace is not just about overcoming difficulties but recognizing our worth and taking empowered steps towards self-care and compassion.
