Eu perdi minha pessoa favorita a distância esse mês e acho que imigrantes se identificarão com esse relato.
Quando a gente muda, a gente sabe que vai perder muitos momentos. E, por mais que vá ganhar também muitas experiências incríveis, esse é um buraquinho que a gente precisa aprender a aceitar💜

Seeing the one we love happy is one of the things that brings the most joy. But excessive worry turns into control.
The other side of love can be control. And sometimes, it's worth remembering, it's not even love, just possession. This fits into many relationships...

Therapy patients, comment here: those sessions where there's not much to talk about, do you ontem want to cancel it or not? Because usually these sessions end up being super interesting and bring up topics that were left aside while urgent matters took precedence... What do you think?

Are you really tired or just living a life that doesn't make sense to you? Not all fatigue comes from rushing.
Sometimes what makes it hard is to feel the weight of living disconnected from what moves us...

Por que a opinião de algumas pessoas pesa tanto pra você? A necessidade de validação externa pode ter raízes em experiências passadas. Reforçar sua autoestima e entender suas vulnerabilidades pode ajudar a reduzir essa dependência...

If you've ever been to therapy, have you ever felt the sessions slow down? Did you think it was ok, did it bother you, or was your therapy just progress? #Therapy #psychology #mentalhealth

Life needs to be more than just functional. It needs to bring small doses of pleasure and presence to our daily lives, and this completely changes our perception of well-being.

Rebeca thanking her psychologist at the Laureus Awards.. I love that she always talks about the importance of therapy in her life. 🫶Go to therapy, not just for treatments, but for life! It doesn't guarantee anything infallibly, but it supports absolutely everything and makes a huge difference!

Moments of pessimism and invalidation of your identity can make you momentarily forget your positive qualities and experiences. Be careful not to believe this ;)

Are you tired or are you overwhelmed of being or doing everything for everyone?

So beautiful! We experienced this several times with my grandma, especially a few years ago. I always say: affection is NEVER lost in Alzheimer. It is genuine and special. Even today, 19 years after the diagnosis, there are still moments of genuine connection, even if no longer so explicit (part 1)

"Blue Monday" yesterday, the "saddest day of the year". New year's motivation down and people realize that didn't achieve what they thought they we're supposed to. Well, it's all about expectations X reality. You still have enough time and can try gradual steps. Don't be your first enemy please.
