@juliareingoldproductions: An illustration that serves as setting intentions! This thanksgiving I’m protecting my softness and remembering everything I’ve learned in therapy. Not everything you’re born into is for you. Generational trauma isn’t healed in a day. Chosen family is real family. Here are some other gems: - Set boundaries: It's okay to say "no" to requests and to keep some things private. - Control your reactions: Choose to respond with grace rather than reacting negatively. You can control your own reaction even if you can't control others. -Redirect conversations: Have a list of neutral topics ready to change the subject if conversations become uncomfortable, like asking about recent travels, upcoming plans, or favorite movies. -Avoid triggers: Be mindful of potential triggers in advance so you can have a plan to cope when they arise. #therapytiktok #arttherapy #affirmations #watercolorpainting
