I know this doesn't always - or often - feel true. I know this doesn't always - or often - feel true. 

I know our worth is often literally measured by our productivity.

I know we are valued by how much we can earn, labour we can perform, and the jobs we can log applying for.

I know so much of our safety and security in our societies is predicated on what we can produce. 

I recognise this as true. And, I believe it is possible to know this without internalising it. 

Our value doesn't have to hang on how much we can push ourselves. 

We are complex humans, so much wider, deeper, more messy, loving, still, growing, and alive. We are more than anything that can be counted. 

I hold this for all of us still pushing towards something today. 

💖 I'm Grace, a psychotherapeutic counsellor and writer. Through my work, I help individuals navigate the complexities of making a life with chronic pain, ensuring they can heal without shaming or falling into the trap of toxic positivity.

Too complex. Too costly. Too needy. Too much. Too Too complex.
Too costly.
Too needy.
Too much. 
Too hard. 

We are all too often surrounded by messages that reinforce the idea that our othered bodies are a drag, a difficulty, a cost, and a burden. 

But I want to reject these judgments and question what kind of world would choose to frame our bodies as wrong (uh, late-stage capitalism and climate catastrophe). I wonder, instead, what a world would look like that welcomes our shape, our access, our pain, pleasure, and possibility. 

I'm glad to be part of living this world into being with you here. 

💖 I help clients with complex trauma and multiple marginalized identities live well with pain and illness, without the risk of burn-out or judgment.
