Our topic this week is Self Care & Trauma
Firstly heres a video to watch for you all click the here HERE
First thoughts on the video everyone ?
Anything helpful to take from it ?
Anything unhelpful?
It is good to note that some things in both videos wont work for everyone, it is about what methods you enjoy, that work for you, when it comes to Self Care. What are your Self Care methods you use? what works for you?

Hi @CaringBrit, thanks for making this post. I think I'll come back to it when I'm in a better state. For the past month I've just haven't desired to engage in any self care and went the other way. Maybe next month.

@CaringBrit
Thank you for the helpful info. My self care is pretty non existent. I need to work harder on taking care of myself. I just don't feel like I deserve it. My therapist is having me challenge these thoughts. Unfortunately I can't afford to keep seeing her. Not sure if I can do it alone. She was my only support.
@RedHawk6547 you have us Red self care isnt easy all the time either and you certainly do deserve it you can always start small with something you enjoy maybe a hobby or just basic eat well sleep well etc i believe in you Red your not alone
