Crying is actually GOOD for you! 🥹
As a therapist, one of the biggest myths I’d love to see shift is that — crying is a sign of weakness.
Tears are a normal part of being human!
They can accompany grief, joy, relief, frustration, awe, and connection. We don’t all experience emotional release the same way, but for many people, crying is one healthy way our minds and bodies process overwhelming emotions.
You don’t have to apologize for having feelings!
My hope is that we continue creating safety -
in families, friendships, and communities -
to FEEL EMOTION, not just perform strength.
🌿 Save this for when you need the reminder 🫶🏻
What do you think? Were you taught growing up that crying was okay—or that you should hold it in?
