Fuzzy Slippers: How Do Self-Care as a Trauma Survivor

Robyn Brickel, M.A., LMFT ·
When I recommend the need for self-care to trauma survivors, they say it can feel like a chore. Some of them even roll their eyes and tell me, “You mean you want me to take care of myself? Ugh. Who has time for that?!” It’s tempting for any person to undervalue self-care. But for trauma survivors, resistance to self-care has much deeper roots. Healing takes a focused, gentle approach. Self-Care as a Practice of Welcoming Your Needs Many trauma survivors learned to do without self-care...

Laziness Does Not Exist [medium.com/@dr_eprice]

Laura Pinhey ·
Laura's note: Though this blog post focuses on perceived laziness in students, I think what E. Price has to say here could apply to other characteristics that are common symptoms and outcomes of early trauma in children and of a history of trauma in adults.

I’ve been a psychology professor since 2012. In the past six years,...
