It's okay if your sleep and energy vary wildly during the seasons! Or at least... it's okay with me ;)

Obviously there can be real world effects to having a chronotype outside of the 9-5.

But if your body is going to make you rest anyway... may as well enjoy it and get the most out of it, in my opinion!

This is the follow-up episode to deepen ideas in the interview with Danielle Aubin last week on Autistic Therapy.

Especially focused on this idea of relational trauma, and relational healing that addresses it. In my experience, relational healing ends up being woven throughout all other healing. Or, sometimes it's the "boss battle" to put what I've integrated into practice. Because emotional regulation during conflict with someone you care about is a whole new level!

While I didn't use the words "community model of healing" or "relational healing" when I was starting the Like Your Brain community over a year ago, they were certainly on my mind. More on that in the episode as well.

There are so many layers to relational healing. Wherever you're at with it is totally fine! And there are many ways to approach it.

Animals are also a lovely way to experience relational healing. My first cat cured like 60% of my relational trauma <3
