Emotional Health Quotes

“Often, what we call 'anxiety' is a coping mechanism we lean on, a disguise for the deeper, unexplored fears that truly drive our emotions.”

“We must recognize that our frustrations are largely due to the fact that we have not learned how to "dance" to a large part of the emotional spectrum.

“We are made of light photons, quantum electromagnetic energy, all within and around us. Live your life as such. To play it small is truly against our nature and non-beneficial to our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Why do anything against our very nature when we can take the step and leap into our greatness? It is effortless to live a life for and in support of life. Show us your light, represent your truth and never back down. Let us hear you roar, while you show us your light. Demonstrate your truth and set the way aglow for all. Society will follow in your footsteps, and all shall ignite in ecstatic high-vibrational energy and joy. Yes, we shall reclaim our birthright. It is happening and it is here. Now is the moment to glow.”

You have endured a life-altering shock, and are likely living with PTSD symptoms— hypervigilance, flashbacks and bewilderment—with broken trust, with the inability to cope with many situations, and with the complete shut down of parts of your mind, including your ability to focus and regulate your emotions.

And the worst is, we are only too ready to agree with this assessment! Trauma victims commonly blame themselves. Blaming oneself for the shame of being a victim is recognized by trauma specialists as a defense against the extreme powerlessness we feel in the wake of a traumatic event. Self-blame continues the illusion of control shock destroys, but prevents us from the necessary working through of the traumatic feelings and memories to heal and recover.”
