Which DOESN'T mean go jump on an iron supplement! Iron is a delicate bodily process and overload is a real concern. But getting an iron panel done is a good step if you have any symptoms that could point to iron deficiency.

Want to know how the mental health field unintentionally contributes to keeping people stuck in abusive and harmful relationships?

They don't differentiate content for HEALTHY relationships, versus ABUSIVE relationships.

Worse yet, they don't even make content referring to abusive relationships.

People consume this healthy-relationship content continually, try to apply it to their relationship (not recognizing it's abusive), and feel continually confused and frustrated that things don't improve. They get stuck in a vicious cycle of shame, isolation and trying harder. The abuse continues unchecked.

Making this distinction is not easy, yet is SO important.

Clueless harm and intentional harm can look surprisingly similar in...

A lot of times chronic symptoms are a reflection of unsafety in relationships or an area of life completely out of alignment.

Did you know your genes influence how deeply your brain encodes experiences and how you respond to interventions like therapy?

The BDNF Val66Met variant is one of the most studied in neuroplasticity research. Val/Val carriers tend to encode experiences deeply and respond quickly to therapy. Met carriers have a quieter system, not broken, just different. They often do better with longer timelines, body-based approaches, and a little prep work before sessions.

Swipe through to see what this means practically, including why a walk before therapy is neurologically strategic. 🧠🙏 🧬
