~ The Toolshed ~

~ The Toolshed ~

So I've decided to create a new space, similar to The Ice-Memery but instead of being silly memes, these are memes/images/words etc. that I've found that are more like tools and insights for recovery. Hence, I welcome you to:

~ The Toolshed! ~

🔧💡🔩🤔

These are things I've found that are insightful, provide psychoeducation, or that have helped inspire me in my recovery journey. I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! But to start us off, I would love to share a nice lil stack of memes/pics I've found that I thought were really worth the read.

P.S. If you haven't already, you can also check out our Coping Toolbox for ideas and strategies to help you when you need to cope with the hard stuff!

So without further ado, lemme kick us off!

Will just tag a few forumites to start, pls do tag anyone you feel would enjoy or wanna contribute to this thread!

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@PeppyPatti no that was supposed to say I re- live my memories over and over again.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@PeppyPatti I really want to try some Psychedelic therapy to try and rewire my brain regarding my memories.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@DownMoreThanUp I love these positive quotes. And they are very true and uplifting. Thanks for sharing 😊

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Mustang67 i heard some really good reports from people who have done this. Might well be worth trying, but they do say only if good counselling is available, for otherwise it could overload a person with their past trauma, not dealing rightly with the high.

i think it is available in Canada, not sure where they are with it over here.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@DownMoreThanUp yes the therapy is available in Australia. My main therapist is very interested in doing the study required to be able to use this type of therapy. So I hope she does it sooner or later. It has to be done under strict guidelines in a clinical setting.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@DownMoreThanUp I haven't done a lot of research on it, but what I have read sounds very promising.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@REDLINEZ750 I was thinking exactly that when I was posting it. It is a parent thing.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Oh I’m a psychotherapy lady ::

a long long time ago a guy in England called RD Laing used to get his clients to go tripping with him. His teachings on Schizophrenics was ground breaking. Forgot it all now.

sounds informative @Mustang67 @enjoy.
