#introduction
Hello, I’m Jennifer (she/her). I’m an angsty queer millennial who lives in the upstate of South Carolina with my wife and two kids. My journey of leaving Christian fundamentalism and processing that trauma is ongoing and best summarized as “the one having fun” in Chick tracts.
I’m interested in #accessability #deconstruction #ifstherapy and #lgbtq issues.
My favorite things are: #criticalrole #booktube & #friedokra.
If you (like the rest of us) get irritated or angry with someone and think, 'they are such a difficult person!' my latest Heal Your Trauma Blog post is for you.
It explains why there's no such thing as a difficult person, just tricky parts, which are trying to protect that person from being hurt:

Think of the person in your life that you find the most rude, annoying, insensitive or otherwise difficult. Can you see them in your mind’s eye? How do you feel as you picture them? I’m guessing some combination of irritated, frustrated, upset, hostile, vulnerable, anxious or exasperated. Now I’m g
Of all the #therapy models I have trained in, internal family systems (IFS) is my favourite. I love it, my clients (mostly) love it, it's a win-win.
And one of the concepts that really speaks to me is that we all have a Self – inner resources like calm, compassion, love, healing, courage & confidence. So however much you have been hurt & however bad things are right now, know that you have this loving, healing resource inside – you just have to find it ❤️
Next time someone upsets or angers you, or seems to be 'difficult' in some way, pause before reacting. Take a few deep breaths.
Then try to visualise that person as a child – the hurt little boy or girl inside. Know that the 'difficult' behaviour is just a part of them trying to protect this wounded little kid.
And respond accordingly, with a little more patience, kindness & understanding. It could be life-changing for you both ❤️
