If I thought the pizza was pretty good, I was wrong in that evaluation because the dogs were soooo HERE FOR this pizza! 😂 #dogsofinstagram #dogsofcanada #queerfamily #hilarious

This is a shortened version of the Radical Acceptance intervention that is part of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and I have adapted it for neuroqueer individuals as it tends to be quite long and hard to remember all of the steps. This is something you can practice on your own when feeling good and use when it is stressful. Or this is something you can use with a helper. I have noticed that finding something to savor makes this easier for our autonomic nervous system to accept it as well. I found that this helped me due to autism making it hard to accept sudden changes in schedule, routine, or activities. If I found a reason why it was helpful to have this shitty thing happen, I could accept it much easier. #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #neurodiverseandproud #neuroqueerandproud #neuroqueer #adhd #adhdawareness #autism #autismawareness #dbt #dbtskills #dbttherapy #queers #2slgbtq #2slgbtqia

Every single day is an important day to work towards reconciliation and decolonization. Every day I think about how I can impact these things and honour the beauty and wisdom of Indigenous people here on Turtle Island. Every day I think about how I can reduce my use of colonial tools and language in order to decolonize. Every day I remember the history of what has happened and how I can play my part to move towards reconciliation. It’s an important part of being a settler in my opinion that we work towards these things to make it a better world. #defendthesacred #decolonize #decolonization #reconciliation #united

There is nothing wrong with having an avoidant attachment! Many people have this and are completely independent, tend to rely only on themselves, and have a hard time bringing people into their inner circle. Usually this results of a great many experiences that people have harmed us to the point of us not wanting to trust others. There is hope to move to security though! I used to have an anxious attachment (which was way more impactful for me) and moved to an avoidant one during the pandemic. I plan on moving to a secure attachment and although it may be a long journey, it's a worthwhile one! #attachment #attachmenttheory #attachmentstyles #attachmenttrauma #avoidantattachment #traumarecovery #traumahealing #traumaawareness
