Radical Acceptance is the idea that we are accepting life and things as they are in the moment. Acceptance in this way doesn’t mean you agree or want what is happening in your life in the moment but instead making space for the imperfect and embracing right now. This is true freedom. #radicalacceptance #freedom #boundaries #kindness #selfacceptance #acceptance #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #emotionalhealth #anxiety #stress #ptsd #depression #mindful #bepresent #bodyacceptance #bodyneutrality #bodypositivity #bodypositive #selfesteem #therapy #fatacceptance #fattherapist #sacramentotherapist #sacramentotherapy #sacramento #midtownsacramento

About 40 million adults over the age of 18 experience an Anxiety Disorder. That is why education about anxiety is essential especially for those who aren’t currently getting support. #anxiety #anxietyrelief #anxietysupport #fuckanxiety #change #holistictherapy #holisitictherapist #copingwithanxiety #anxietyrecovery #anxietyquote #emotions #trauma #copingskills #brainspotting #heal #growth #transformation #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #ptsd #psychoeducation #mentalhealthawareness #therapy #sacramento #sacramentotherapist #sactherapy #sacramentotherapy #midtownsacramento #midtownsac

<- SWIPE Square Breathing (which is also known as box breathing or four-square breathing) is the technique of taking slow, deep, controlled breaths. It can heighten brain functioning like increased concentration while also being a powerful stress reliever. Square Breathing positively impacts your body in many ways. Using this skill calms and regulates the autonomic nervous system. This system is responsible for regulating involuntary body functions. Practicing deep breathin...g can support this system in lowering blood pressure and producing a sense of calm. Also slow, deep breaths helps stimulate your parasympathetic system, which is responsible for the body’s rest and digestion responses. When stimulated this system decreases heart rate, respiration and increases digestion. It can take some practice at first but as you continue to practice this skill you will reap the benefits and gain mastery to be able to utilize this skill when you are experiencing anxiety or crisis. #coping #copingskills #practicemakesprogress #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthrecovery #mindfulness #mindfulmoments #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthawareness #anxietyrelief #anxietysupport #sactherapy #sacramentotherapist #sacramentotherapy #sacramento #anxiety #anxietyrelief #anxietysupport #fuckanxiety #copingwithanxiety #anxietyrecovery #anxietyquote #emotions #trauma #copingskills #brainspotting #heal #growth #transformation #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #ptsd #therapy @ Midtown

SWIPE -> Part 4 of Identifying Stress is all about the behavioral changes that come along with stress. Drastic behavioral changes in yourself or someone else is a HUGE SIGN to take a step back and assess the situation. Everyone gets impacted by stress differently. If your reaction to stress is causing you to become a version of yourself that you don’t like so much, good news is you have an opportunity to change that. #stress #stressrelief #stressmanagement #stressfree #anxiety #mentalhealth #behavior #mentalhealthawareness #heal #healing #healingjourney #transformation #grow #copingskills #feelings #feel #awareness #mindful #mindfulness #holisitc #therapy #emotionalhealth #wellbeing #wellness #sacramentotherapist #sacramentotherapy #sacramento #midtownsacramento @ Midtown

Hey Ya’ll! I’m back!! One form of self-care/coping that I regularly choose to use is Digital Detox. Putting down my phone and spending less time consuming social media allows me to be more grounded and gives me time to reset. How do you make time to relax? #coping #copingskills #selfcare #practicemakesprogress #reconnect #anxietyandmindfulness #therapycanhelp #holistictherapy #holistictherapist #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthrecovery #anxiety #depression #ptsd #mindfulness #mindfulmoments #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthawareness #anxietyrelief #anxietysupport #sactherapy #sacramentotherapist #sacramentotherapy #sacramento

You can spend so much time hating what you see in the mirror. Wishing, pleading for your body to look different. But when you try to bend or conform to the ideals of others, you abandon your body. You abandon yourself. You deserve better ... #selfworth #selfworthquotes #acceptance #bodyacceptance #bodyneutrality #bodypositivity #bodypositive #selfesteem #radicalacceptance #therapy #fatacceptance #fattherapist #trauma #traumarecovery #heal #healfromwithin #growth #transformation #mentalhealth #mentalhealthrecovery #emotionalhealth #ptsd #anxiety #depression #mentalhealthawareness #therapy #sacramento #sacramentotherapist #sactherapy #sacramentotherapy See more
