Being stuck in functional freeze is making a list of all the things you’ll do: go the gym, clean, and read—but instead you’re sitting on a couch watching each hour go by wondering why you’re so “lazy.”

That's my Mum's story - but I often wonder how different things could have been, had adoptees been allowed to get vital information. Instead of Mum's story connecting with her family starting at 47, it could have been 37. Remember, M&B home survivors are everywhere. Help them.

So many trauma survivors have a tug of war going on between our bent toward perfectionism on the one hand, & shame that we can't keep our space clean or our bills paid on the other. It's exhausting-- & no one not in our head knows it's happening. Easy does it. Grace over guilt.

It's super common for anxious trauma survivors to struggle to answer the phone, check voicemail, check email (or work email, at any rate), & check snail mail-- & it's super common to assume you're the only adult who struggles w/ such "easy" "adulting" tasks. But-- you're not.

Just a reminder from a neuropsychologist that when they say “ADHD gets better with age” what they really mean is “Men present less hyper-actively” and forget to say “Women go through a HUGE hormonal transition (ahem menopause) and lose their sh*t and their ADHD feels untenable.” -Dr. Jen

Looking a new motorcycle helmet but would ideally love one that doesn’t give me a head like a god damn mushroom. Anyone got any recommendations for something safe but also svelte?! #motorcycle #helmet #moto #vintagemotorcycle #motorbike #accessories
