My therapist is not a tough love kinda therapist. And I've maybe heard him curse three times. But we had been talking about the same issue for a while and I was trying not to ruminate, but I was also analyzing and pathologizing over and over. And finally he just said, sometimes you have to get the fuck over it. And it allowed me to imagine a life beyond the past, to not let the past define you. It's easier said than done to just flip a switch and actively choose a better way. To stop it from taking up so much space in your head. But sometimes you truly need to flip that switch and get over it.

Itās not glamorous and thereās a period where it feels really bad and itās like why would I trust this freak with my deepest, darkest. But then after a couple years something will happen that you used to freak out about and you will notice that youāre not freaking out and youāll realize that it took years to create your issues and itās taking years to undo them but itās happening.

Not in a āIām too cool to gafā way but in a way thatās likeā¦ Iām actually more focused on whatās in front of me and being present most of the time and not stressing over something I have no control over (like the past) or something I donāt have the solution to right now (the future). It took me soooo long to learn this but after consistently going to therapy weekly for 6 months straight Iām finally getting the hang of it and my therapist was right!!!!! Deal with it when itās right in front of you and not when itās still 100 miles away. BE PRESENT. :D

my therapist told me that no matter how much i want to blame other people for how they treat me i am still responsible for letting them treat me that way and the only change will come when i accept that i need to let them go.

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
