Engaging our story requires courage because we've all faced hard things. Choosing to engage with that which is painful is the essence of courage. Each of us already possess what we need to begin to engage, step by step. On episode 41, we look at courage and who it can benefit us as we aim towards health and healing.

Compassion is something we hear a lot about and can struggle to employ towards ourselves. Compassion is all about suffering together with someone in order to alleviate suffering. We offer kindness, empathy, and understanding to ourselves by connection with our internal hurt, self. In episode 40 we look at how we can show ourselves more compassion. <3

Week 2 of our foundations series we look at the concept of acceptance. Acceptance means we agree with and come face to face the reality of what's happening. Recognizing what's real and in front of us is so key in maintaining health. In episode 38 we look at how we can begin the process of accepting what's in front of us, who we are, and those around us.

So many people are living their lives with a desire to prove their worth. Maybe they've had relationships go poorly or parents who never showed care. I can often fall into these desirse as well. The truth is, if we've been hurt by people In our past, we may be trying to prove it to them in the attempt to give our younger selves something we lacked. In this, we can stay in situations and relationships that aren't healthy. Naming this truth and realizing our own worth can help us move towards healthier ways of life!

On this episode of Recess, I discuss how privileged identities, specifically mine, play into how I'm perceived in the mental health world. It's come to my attention that I have centered myself in too many ways and I want to work to change that narrative and be better. If we do not name and discuss privilege or marginalized identities that we hold, holistic mental health care is not possible. 

I'm going to do a better job moving forward!
