Empty Cup

There’s a cliché that says, “You can’t pour from an empty cup.” Lately, I’ve come to understand this in a new way.

Filling your cup is an art, and it looks different for everyone. For me, it’s a mix of alone time, quality moments with loved ones, play, fun, rest, movement and nourishing meals. It also means living more consciously - recognizing when I’m giving someone a heavy pour with no end in sight.

That Time I Had a Panic Attack at the Airport (10)

“Ma’am your bag will not fit in the overhead bins, you’ll have to check it.” Says an indifferent airline employee as I hand her my ticket to get on my flight from Los Angeles to Toronto.

 “Are you sure?” I plead.

“Yes. Please step aside.”  My palms are sweaty. My voice stammers. I feel a lump in my throat. My breathe becomes more and more shallow. This bag has to fit on this flight.

Growing Pains Along the Healing Journey

I’m at a point in my healing journey where I’m much more aware of things... painfully aware of things, sometimes. It’s a good thing to be aware - it shows me what needs to change - but it can also be deeply uncomfortable.

I notice when someone isn’t a good communicator. I see who struggles to hold themselves accountable. I can read between the lines of people’s words, actions, or lack thereof.

What I Would Tell My Past Self

Sometimes I think about what I could say if I had my past self in front of me. As I've grown, let go, healed, experienced new things: I think of how much of what I know now that I would love to teach her.

Why I Run

Why I Run

If anyone had asked me if I ran prior to 2018, I would have responded, “I’m not a runner,” probably paired with an overdone joke about what would make me run—like a bear. Funny enough, I have run away from a bear, but that’s a story for another day. Back in 2018, I was going through a lot in my life, and I had just learned about a psychology theory whose main point was that we create narratives in our heads—and we maintain them to appear consistent.

Am I Overly Identifying with Being a Rape Survivor?

Am I Overly Identifying with Being a Rape Survivor?

I am a rape survivor. This is something I say proudly these days. Proud? Yes. Why? Because for a long time I could not even utter the word rape, and now I can speak the truth of the worst things I have survived. So, recently I found myself incredibly triggered when I was reading a book where the author implied that by stating “I am a rape survivor” it means that I am overly identifying with this experience, and that I would be better off not identifying with it at all and letting it go. She seemed to believe I’d be free if I let it go.

What Is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and How Can It Help Your Healing Journey

What Is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and How Can It Help Your Healing Journey

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (also known as ACT) is a type of therapy that focuses on changing the relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings. It teaches skills to end the fight with ruminating thought patterns, and instead guides the person to reflect on, choose, and live their values. The idea is that you don’t have to get rid of your anxiety, trauma, or depression to start living more fully and meaningfully.

Why I Can’t Stop Talking About Rape

Why can’t I just let it go? This is a question I find myself pondering recently. I look back on the last seven years, and can see clearly how I lived in an endless loop of triggers, flashbacks, and challenging emotions that I had no idea how to process. I had to find a way to make sense of things that most people won’t even talk about. It was a day-by-day struggle to get to where I am. Now that I feel so much better, I look back and struggle to find the words to describe this healing journey I’ve been on.

The Ride

In the last several years, I’ve prioritized growth and healing. I’ve been through a lot. I was so far from who I really am, stuck playing the roles other people in my life wanted me to play. I made decisions based on everyone else’s opinions and direction, never my own.
