We are wired to view relationship safety as being vital to our survival. When we don't have relational safety, or we have experienced abandonment or abuse in relationships our system will help protect us by allowing the brain to recognize unsafe relationships quickly, even without conscious knowledge. Unfortunately, this system isn't able to differentiate between healthy normal conflict and emergency situations. Unresolved traumas may show up in your relationships as a set o...f behaviors and beliefs that make it really difficult to cultivate the safety and trust that we desire. This doesn't mean that you are doomed to have difficult relationships. You can begin to recognize your behaviors and triggers, begin calming your nervous system, and reconstruct new beliefs and behaviors that get you closer to your relationship goals. #JoelleRabowMaletis #couplestherapy #relationships #couples #therapy #mentalhealth #marriage #relationshipgoals #love #couplescounseling #marriagecounseling #relationshipadvice #couplesgoals #healthyrelationships #relationship #mentalhealthawareness #communication #selfcare #relationshipcoach #therapist #dating #counseling #relationshiptips #marriagegoals #relationshiphelp #familytherapy #psychotherapy #anxiety #relationshiptherapy #psychology #bhfyp

What do you do to protect your sleep? Getting quality sleep is important for our mental and physical health. Poor quality or quantity can lead to days that feel challenging and difficult to get through. If you have kids, you probably are creating a sleep buffer for them! Reading books before bedtime, bath time, turning out all of the lights...... What do you do for yourself? What do you do for your kids? #JoelleRabowMaletis #SleepBetter #Babies #Lovely #Of #Cuddle #Small #Bedroom #Little #InstaBaby #Infant #Cuddly #BedTime #IgBabies #SleepingBeauty #Happy #Sleepy #ShiftYourMindset #DaringGreatly #EverythingIsFigureoutable #Soulpreneuer #PersonalGrowth #SelfGrowth #PersonalDevelopmentJourney #SelfCareMatters #HeartCentered #AnxietyAwareness #EmotionalWellbeing #MentalHealthAdvocate #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay #EndTheStigmaofMentalHealth

I am proud to be a member of TED Salon, where I have the honor of connecting with people around the world who are willing to share their experience, expertise, and passions with me. In therapy, we aim to disrupt the injustices experienced by our clients in every session through the therapeutic relationship. We will work toward acceptance of our traumas and begin the healing and growth process. The goal is not to wash away those experiences, but to use them to become a versio...n of yourself that suits you better at this moment. #JoelleRabowMaletis #TEDSalon #trauma #mentalhealth #ptsd #anxiety #healing #depression #mentalhealthawareness #therapy #selfcare #recovery #traumarecovery #selflove #cptsd #love #stress #traumahealing #bipolar #domesticabuse #art #relationships #bpd #suicideprevention #therapist #traumabonding #life #emotions #family #quotes #somatic #toxicrelationships #osdd #emdr

A person's commitment naturally fluctuates and grows over time. Reframe down tics in commitment away from failure and continue making progress toward your goals. For most, making goals smaller enhances the likelihood you will be able to see it through from start to finish. When added up, these goals might accumulate into the success of a much larger goal, but keep your focus on the part of the plan that has the closest deadline. ... Language matters. Use language that elicits action. "I will ___ today." Set a date or multiple dates when breaking down a goal. While you are forming new habits, making shorter-term goals might be helpful. Start with today! What part of the plan are you willing to do today? Prepare and troubleshoot your plan. What will you need to be successful? Personal boundaries? Equipment? Whatever it is, make sure you know what it is and how to access it. Think through what challenges or obstacles you might face and plan for them. Has this goal been made in the past and not yet been accomplished? What made it hard last time? What will you need to change about it to give you a better chance this time? Be very specific, not only in your goal but also in how you will get there and how you will know you are making progress or how you will know you need to update the plan or goal. Write these things down, and plan to revisit this as part of your plan. Did you know that people actually use a therapist to help them set and maintain goals? If your goal is something you have tried many times before and you are struggling to achieve the level you want, reach out to a therapist in your state. Therapy can help you set realistic and approachable goals and offer tools to get you there. #Joellerabowmaletis #NewYearsResolutions #Goals #NYGoals #Resolutions #2021Resolution #2021Goals #StrengthenYourGoals #SMARTGoals #NewYear #HappyNewYear #Happiness #Inspiration #Motivation #Happy #Life #Love #MentalHealth #ReShape #Positivity

The strength of our relationships has a huge impact on mental health. Social media can be a great tool to help support your mental health journey. It helps us stay connected with family and friends, and connects us with others who are experiencing similar struggles. It is certainly not a good substitute for person to person contact, but for now, as we continue to practice social distancing, social media is great at combating feelings of loneliness. Becoming an active social... media user, instead of a mindless passive scroller is one powerful way to increase the supportive benefits of social media. Find accounts with interesting content and insert your opinions and thoughts into the conversation. Your contribution will not only help you feel more connected, it will also help others to get involved as well. You don't have to use self-disclosure if you aren't comfortable with that, start with asking a question, or referencing a resource. Tune in with how you feel while using social media, this kind of self-feedback is invaluable. If you are noticing that you are falling into an unhealthy and vicious social media cycle (Increased FOMO, worsening depression or anxiety, increased feelings of inadequacy), it may be time to adjust your social media use. #JoelleRabowMaletis ##mentalhealthrecovery #anxietyrecovery #depressionawareness #selfharmawareness #yourstoryisntoveryet #ptsd #suicideawareness #breakthesilence #stigmafighter #majordepression #endthestigma #breakthestigma #stopthestigma #mentalillnessawareness #mentalillnessrecovery

A less well-known contribution of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is his work with psychologists. Not long before his death, he addressed the American Psychological Association at their annual convention. He spoke about what he believed their role in the Civil Rights Movement was, in particular about "maladjustment" ( a term that we don't often use anymore). He helped them question whether it was wise to promote "adjustment" to those who have been treated unjustly. While it is im...portant that a therapist has the tools to help their clients get along better in their world, a therapist must also raise and re-raise the question of what constitutes "well adjustment" in a deeply troubled world. #JoelleRabowMaletis #martinlutherking #mlk #martinlutherkingjr #ihaveadream #civilrights #blackhistory #blackexcellence #art #freedom #martinlutherkingquotes #martinlutherkingday #mlkjr #mlkday #martinlutherkingjrday #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #selflove #love #anxiety #motivation #depression #health #mentalhealthmatters #life #mindfulness

Focusing on the negative in a dissolving marriage might be helpful motivation to get out of something that isn't going to work. But when you want to engage in positive co-parenting behaviors you will need to switch gears. This will take some effort on your part, as finding the negative in your ex-partner may have been strengthened over a long period of time. When you notice these old patterns arising (noticing negative behaviors) tell yourself "This is no longer helpful" and... encourage yourself to find something that is positive about your co-parenting partner. Don't forget to pat yourself on the back when you are able to do this. It is hard, and you should feel proud that you are moving toward a more positive interaction for the good of your family. #momlife #parenting #mom #dad #ParentLife #divorcelawyer #divorceadvice #divorceattorney #divorceddad #lifeafterdivorce #motherhood #stepkids #coparent #stepmomsofinstagram #divorcedparents #divorcecoach #relationships #stepmama #stepmomhelp #singledad #marriage #divorcemediation #stepmum #stepmomstrong #proudstepmom #coparentinggoals #fathersrightsmovement

The future is now and you get to determine what you put into it. Each moment, day, week, month, and year provide us with the opportunity to reevaluate our behaviors, our support systems, how we care for ourselves and others, what new boundaries we need to put in place, how we will facilitate our own growth, whom we will trust and what new adventures we will take ourselves on. #newyearseve #newyear #newyears #happynewyear #party #winter #holidays #quotes #love #motivation #life #inspiration #quoteoftheday #instagram #motivationalquotes #instagood #quote #follow #bhfyp #like #happiness #positivevibes #success #believe #loveyourself #lifestyle #selflove #inspirationalquotes #happy #lovequotes #yourself #poetry #mindset #goals #quotestagram #quotestoliveby
