Inner Therapist

Cleaning out phone and e-mail at end of 2024. My inner therapist said, “while you have grown, how could you almost get duped into a relationship with an aging Greek zaddy, back in the day?! Do better.” I will! Carrying on. #2025

2025/1/20 Edited to

As we approach 2024, it's essential to declutter not just our physical spaces but also the mental baggage we carry. Cleaning out our phones and emails serves as a metaphor for shedding outdated beliefs and relationships. Reflecting on past experiences, like the allure of an 'aging Greek zaddy,' highlights the importance of learning from our romantic entanglements. Self-improvement journeys often require facing uncomfortable truths about ourselves, guided by our inner therapist. Embrace this introspective process to foster growth and resilience. Whether navigating personal relationships or setting boundaries, use your experiences as a catalyst for meaningful change. Let each lesson learned empower you to make wiser choices in the future, ensuring that your journey toward personal fulfillment is uninterrupted and progressive. Remember, growing from our past is not just about avoiding mistakes; it's about cultivating a deeper understanding of ourselves and our desires. Prioritize mental clarity by actively engaging in self-reflection and making changes that will lead to a brighter, more fulfilling 2025.

Things that actually help with AuDHD burnout (from an AuDHD therapist)

AuDHD burnout isn’t just being tired. It’s a full-system depletion that affects energy, emotions, sensory tolerance, and executive functioning all at once. And for many women, it builds slowly over months of pushing through, masking, and managing more than your nervous system was designed to hold.
