I wanted to continue my previous poll ('What Is Your Biggest Issue Right Now?' Mental health had the most votes, but budgeting/finances and employment were pretty high, so I'll have separate polls for them and link them below. For 'other', comment below. I love hearing your input! :)

Ways I cope with trauma as someone who is not ready /unable to open up about it to a professional

-art. Making vent art. Or edits aka “traumacore” stuff. It feels like im not keeping it to myself which is a relief. But it brings emotions to the surface which can be triggering.

-music that reminds me of the trauma. It doesn’t have to be about the trauma specifically. Songs that remind me of my old mindset. Songs that remind me of the dynamics I had with my abusers. Songs that remind me that they will get karma one day. It’s comforting and helps me release anger.

-writing. This is the most recent tool I’ve been using. I’ve written about my trauma before but this method is using creative writing. It is not uncommon for people to project onto OCs, which is what I do. Writing out their mindsets helps me process how my trauma affected my mental health. I didn’t intentionally do this as a coping skill; I just wanted to write. But writing down my OCs thought processes has helped me.

-talking to other trauma survivors. I do this rarely but it helps to vent on subreddits like r/CPTSD. This account is also helpful, and I find that giving advice to others makes me feel better.

how to not show weakness, especially crying lesser. I'm a very sensitive person and prone to emotional outbursts that are very inconvenient. how do I control my feelings in a healthy way and look unbothered to people?

~🐠

Hi love. Being a very emotionally expressive or sensitive person is not a weakness. Having the ability to feel and express your emotions is a sign of empathy. However, I see how being emotionally dysregulated and not being able to control crying spells will negatively impact your life. Consider reframing your hyperemotional states as misdirected emotions rather than as a sign of weakness.

By this sentiment, I mean that you should absolutely validate your emotions and desire to cry when your feelings are hurt/a situation triggers an emotional response in you while recognizing that there is a time and a place to express these emotions. Instead of trying to get rid of these emotions as something "bad," validate these feelings and tell yourself that you can cry about the situation later at a more appropriate time.

Like everything else, it takes time, practice, and learned discipline to master emotional regulation. So, don't beat yourself up if you slip up a bit on your journey. Learn from the experience, and show up every day with the intention to display your emotions in a contextually-appropriate way without assigning shame or blame to your visceral responses to different situations.

Hope this helps xx

flashback halting for trauma

the flashback protocol was created to bring people back to the present moment when experiencing flashbacks from traumatic events, so they no longer feel they are in that past situation. in order for it to work properly you need to follow the protocol exactly how it's written below. i recommend to my clients printing it out and/or taking a picture on their phone so they always have it with them. once you do it often enough it will become second nature and you will no longer need to refer to it.

Flashback halting protocol reconciles experiencing self with observing self, (usually) quickly halting traumatic flashbacks.

Say the following sentences filling in the blanks, following the instructions:

• Right now I am feeling ______ , (name the current emotion, usually fear)

• and I am sensing in my body ______ , (describe current bodily sensations in detail),

• because I am remembering ______ .

(name the trauma by title, only — no details).

• And, at the same time , I am looking around where I am now in ______ (say the year), • here ______ ,

(name the place where you are) • and I can see ______ ,

(describe some of the things that you see right now , in this place), • and so I know ______ ,

(name the trauma again)

• is not happening now/anymore.”
