Mantras For Dysphoria
The other night, I was having a session with a client that identifies as agender. We were talking about their dysphoria, that has recently reared its ugly head, and I began to thinking about coping mantras for dysphoria. I've seen mantras for all sorts of things: anxiety, depression, motivation..you name it, but I had never seen any mantras for dysphoria. So, I decided to take it upon myself to create my own list, which I will share with you here. I hope you enjoy them, add to them, and use them well:
Mantras (for dysphoria):
"It’s okay to be me".
"It’s okay if my outside does not match my inside."
"My body parts do not define me".
"My body does not define me".
"It’s okay to dress how I feel comfortable".
"I’m unique, and no one else defines me".
"I am exactly as God or the Gods intended me to be".
"My gender is exactly how I define it".
"I don't have to gender if I don't want to".
Thank you for this comment. It made my entire day. I am glad to have even one reader :-)
