Your piece really resonates with me here, Belle. I appreciate how you distinguish between the chaos we can’t control and the inner terrain we’re still responsible for tending. Survival in times like these often isn’t about disengaging from the world, but learning how to stay regulated and humane within it. Naming that internal work feels both honest and necessary.🫶

Thank you so much for this—your words really capture the heart of what I was trying to express. It’s such a delicate balance, isn’t it? Navigating the chaos outside while tending carefully to the storm inside. That inner work doesn’t get enough credit for how brave and essential it is. I’m grateful you feel seen and understood here. 🫶

yeah people putting in the inner work are the real brave and courageous warriors out there. I see you, Belle! I think it’s amazing youre a recovering addict and now a clinician. you helped yourself, made a decision to quit, turned your life around and now youre in a position to not only be able to help people through your education, credentials, and expertise, but through your real hands on experience with your own addiction. so you can be that relatable clinician that make her patients and clients feel seen, heard, and validated and be able to advise them with your wisdom and lessons learned from your real-life mental health issue. that’s great stuff!! you should be very proud of yourself every single day.

I am & THANK YOU! I am so lucky, and I worked hard to get where I am today. I just want to be the person I wish I had had early on... Rich in impact is the goal.

You’re welcome, Belle! 🙌🏼I’m sure you worked mad hard. Now you’re in the position to create a real impact and feel the reward from the difference you’re actually making. Patients can relate and look up to you as you’re a move or two or three ahead of them and you are proof to them it is possible to recover and become successful.
