I mean…none of this is technically inaccurate. 😂👀 I mean…none of this is technically inaccurate. 😂👀

I meet with people privately.
They tell me things they may not tell anyone else.
Sometimes I ask them to revisit memories they’d rather forget.
Other times I tell them they’re spending too much time in bed.

I take detailed notes about all of it.

And then I charge them money.

Apparently being a therapist sounds VERY different when you leave out all the context.

👇 Tag a therapist who should probably have to explain themselves.

Sleep is one of those things where more effort doe Sleep is one of those things where more effort doesn’t necessarily get you a better result.

The more you monitor it, worry about it, change your routine, and try to make sure tonight goes well, the more pressure you can put on something that’s supposed to happen naturally.

Sometimes improving sleep means doing a little less.

Less monitoring. Less troubleshooting. Less trying to control exactly how the night goes.

That can feel completely backwards when you have insomnia. But it’s often an important part of getting out of the cycle.

Insomnia is hard enough without judging yourself f Insomnia is hard enough without judging yourself for it. 😴

When sleep doesn’t come easily, it can quickly become: What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just sleep? Maybe I’m doing something wrong.

That shame can lead to even more effort: chasing the perfect routine, trying another supplement, monitoring every night, or putting more pressure on yourself to sleep.

But more effort often means more alertness.

How you slept last night isn’t a reflection of who you are or how well you’re doing.

Learning to take some of the judgment and urgency out of sleep can be an important part of breaking the insomnia cycle.

Which of these thoughts have you caught yourself having?

Chronic pain can be mentally exhausting, even on d Chronic pain can be mentally exhausting, even on days when the pain itself isn’t at its worst. 🧠

When you live with chronic pain, a lot of mental energy can go toward monitoring symptoms, anticipating what might cause a flare-up, deciding what your body can handle, and worrying about how you’ll feel later.

That constant vigilance can be exhausting, even when the pain itself is quieter.

Chronic pain affects more than how your body feels. It can influence your attention, emotions, sleep, and how safe you feel doing everyday things. 💙

What do you wish more people understood about living with chronic pain?
