#CPTSD reality
You can explain your trauma better than your therapist can. And you still freeze at the exact same moment.
Insight isn't integration. Your brain predicts what it already knows, so it keeps handing you the same life.

Many trauma survivors have extraordinary "discipline"—we molded & twisted ourselves in many ways just to survive.
We've learned to turn every single part of being human into a test of discipline. Healing is mostly replacing self-control with self-compassion & self-trust. ❤️🩹

"What I have realized about the fear of dying"
A vlog on my recent discoveries as a growing and changing person, but all in all, I get to be me. #positive #mentalhealth #ocd #trauma #cptsd
I have a strong feeling that when things finally calm down, there will be so many people struggling with CPTSD. So many people will be collectively, traumatized by the injustice around us that we will need to rethink mental health for the future.
It really did.

Getting things done, but feeling totally shut down inside?
This could be functional freeze. When life feels unsafe, your nervous system can go into hibernation mode.

Learning this has been hard. My #trauma brain screams in opposition. But it's true. I deserve #love and compassion. I always did.

Practicing this lately. #Healing #CPTSD really is about getting the amygdala to chill out and the prefrontal cortex to come back online.

I'm longer interested in what strangers & unsafe people think of me. Going forward, I'm doing the next right thing for me. I'm finally putting my needs first, and I need to heal this brain injury.

Cannot recommend @drdoylesays.bsky.social highly enough for anyone trying to recover from trauma. His posts on bluesky are a great daily tool. And now there’s this. And it’s free.

I've walked away from a lot of #shame by working on #self-abandonment and self worth. It feels lighter. I'm much less depressed. The constant self hatred has stopped.
