Holding hands is a simple, sweet gesture of connection. We’re wired for it. Ever place your finger in the palm of a newborn baby’s hand? 5 tiny fingers contract in response. And otters? They hold hands in their sleep to keep themselves from floating away from each other. How cute is that?! . . .... #holdinghands #handholding #oxytocin #cortisol #love #reflex #stressrelief #moodbooster #selfcare See more

Venting either moves you through or spirals you down. The best thing about skillful venting is that your support system will never fear you. They will be there because they know your venting is not a bottomless spiral they’re stuck in with you. Because language is so powerful even for the speaker, the momentum indicated in the languaging above helps cue YOU that you’re venting, releasing, and moving on! . Hope this helps! . .... . #vent #venting #feeling #listen #listening #letgo #letitgo #breathe #gratitude #friendship #relationships #relationshipadvice #selfhelp #selfcare See more
