This reading will be shadow work based on what exactly are we repressing and not aware of. And how to work through it with advice from me and tarot. Take everything as a small guide, tarot is a tool for guidance and not to see or predict the future.

Pile one

First things first, Go get therapy.

"Its not about choosing the chains.

Its about choosing them again and again."

Pile one welcome to your little section. So, I had a theme card for your overall shadow, which was Addicted. At first, I was troubled with finding out exactly what type of addiction was causing you to repress your shadow, and I kept pulling cards and I realized that your shadow is built on way too many situations that come back to your dissatisfaction from your life. Pile One your addicted to hating yourself. You have heavy cards that show me that there’s this feeling of self-inflicted despair. Your shadow emits contempt for life, you hate yourself and honestly hate life overall. The hanged Man in reverse shows me that you grew up very much internally, most of your experiences are based inwardly as you felt left behind on life. Everyone seemed to reject you. Your loved ones, and people who are supposed to be close, turned their backs on you at some point so in turn you did the same. The world rejected you growing up. Life showed you, that you aren’t deserving of love, so you internalized that and have subconsciously clung onto that delusion.

Pile one do you feel like nothing can change you? Nothing can fix you? That things will stay the same or get worse over time? Have you even thought about how you feel about yourself truly? When was the last time you willingly reflected on your own self-image? Do you think there's any motivation for you to live your life beyond what traps you? Going back to your theme card, your repression is very much self-imprisoned. You don’t see you can work through any internal conflict and you in turn have been chaining your own self to depression. Nobody is perfect, that's true, but self-discovery is beautiful however it's also difficult. This won't be an easy task.

Mentally, you’re at rock bottom almost every day. Do you dissociate a lot? Do you even know if you do? Because I recently discovered that I dissociate a whole lot throughout my life and have never known I was doing it. Human brains are truly mind blowing, it can take and hold so much stress and pain, then hide it away from us so when we don’t keep reliving and feeling all that hurt.

Nobody wants to struggle and be depressed, and our brain very much plays a part in helping us hide it away. Chances are you downplay or don’t care to think or consider your own shadow self.

I'm not fit to diagnose, but pile one look into Complex Trauma, C-PTSD, and being Shame Bound. Learn about various types of traumas, habits, and attachment styles on YouTube it will help you get a rough idea on understanding what you need to improve on without using therapy. However, please if you can, look into seeing a psychologist and a therapist.

I know life is super tough as it is for you and you might not be able to afford it but research if there's anything you can afford and if you truly have searched, look into self-help groups online and self-help programs as well. There are free eBooks you can illegally get, pirate that shit. Get a tarot deck for yourself and do shadow work readings. Also please stop reading all the dumbass future partner and next lover readings, invest love into your own damn self before investing it onto some person you most likely haven’t even met or aren’t going to meet. Sorry it's a pet peeve of mine. Chances are you’re reading this on your phone or computer, get on the notes app and write out that little ass of yours. Please there’s still so many ways to make your own mental stability easier on yourself. There's so much stuff you can do if you truly look into it, I recommend watching Patrick Teahan, Heidi Priebe, Psych2Go, and Kati Morton, they're my personal favorite therapy youtubers, and they can help you.

Okay going back to the cards, and not my own personal input, the hanged man in reversed also shows me that it was your environment growing up that has formed you into who you are. Life for you looked like everything was so big and almost outta reach for you to grasp, but you’re still here, you have developed habits that has made growing up easier, you learn to get by.

Which leads me to the present, you got the 9 of cups, meaning that your experiences have made you who you are. It ties back to all those built of moments of isolation and lack of love for yourself that you grew up with. Obviously when we grow up knowing others are treating or making you feel some type of way, you take from that and build your mindset on all those experiences.

This hatred is what we use to get by and we build ourselves up to work with our hatred. You know you felt like you are replaceable or have a deep fear of being left behind, we go outta our way to justify being the ones to leave others and replace other people with anything else to get that same feeling, until the same trigger happens. It's a never-ending cycle and growing up it can actually be helpful. As a child we only experienced all the heavy emotions and were not shown consistent or significant amount of effort for our needs, so we learn to not expect that and run away from anything that triggers that little child in you. No one was there to show love so obviously unhealthy habits and mindsets get developed and grow up with us and only gets worse and worse as time flies by. Pile one, you are depressed and hopeless but cheer up, just because your life hasn’t been the best does not equate to that being a set-in stone reality for the rest of your life.

You can make your own life better; the daughter of cups reverse shows me that there's this desire to play around with stuff, just do it. Stop thinking about it, do it. Fuck shit up, stop being afraid of messing stuff up, you think the ones who have hurt you stopped when they were making you feel not cared for or loved? Nope, so just have fun.

Do that fun hobby idea you been thinking about. Get messy with life, even if it is creating something very sloppy. You want to express yourself some type of way but feel like you shouldn’t? Well just do it, even if you feel like a joke or an idiot just try it and see how it feels. Even if you don’t necessarily want to do something or show off a different look or skill, and your more so afraid of making mistakes and not being perfect, just push that thought to the back of your head.

If you spill your drink and make a mess, guess what you can clean it up, you don't have to get mad at yourself or at the drink. Shit happens, and why should you submerge yourself into all the small things with these big emotions like anger and sadness. Relax and rest those pretty eyes. Which goes into your last main card, Four of Swords. Again, relax for once, don’t guilt yourself. Everyone who has it easy, allows themself to relax from time. Even if they don’t doesn't mean that you should do the same thing. Have fun, learn more about who you are and why you are here. There’s so much self-sabotage that goes unnoticed by everyone.

Learn from yourself, thank who you had to become to get to here, and learn how to work past that when that shadow side doesn't help you anymore. You don’t have to 100% love yourself to overcome your shadow. Because here’s the thing, you’re not overcoming it, you’re learning to accept it and work with it to do better. Your shadow is who you are and use it to your ability to grow. Pile one get outta here and watch some therapy videos pls, you will be happier even for just a second.

Pile Two

"What I can't have forever, I will have for a minute. What I can't have for a minute, I will hold to me for one second."

Hello pile two, welcome to your pile. I assume for the most part your shadow is not something you shy away from because quite frankly there's not a significant amount of repression that is being displayed; I feel like this kind of shifted into a little bit of a motivational reading from your guides to tell you about one specific flaw in you rather to tackle down one serious hindering issue.

You guys got two theme cards for your theme of the overall shadow side that you're repressing. I pulled Masquerade and Queen of my world, for you pile two. Both cards have one thing in common. Both are attached to the word Bargain. Which tells me that you tend to do the most to procrastinate the process of bad emotions or habits. Masquerade is all about living in the moment and doing everything in your power to savor and dwell into the fleeting moments you so desperately want to hold onto and stick to. Queen of my world is all about holding onto a facade that hinders the possibility of being seen as anything other than graceful and powerful. You also pulled the daughter of wands in reversed. Which tells me that you procrastinate as well, and you can honestly be very disorderly as well.

You repress your shadow self because of how uncomfortable you are for being seen as who you wish you could be.

You know when we live our whole lives trying to maintain a certain image, it can be so hard and honestly draining. It makes sense why you want to slack off and just live in the moment because maintaining the way you think you have to come off to other people is very draining and if you think about it, your facade is stressful weather you are or aren't aware of it. Having live off of short moments and a false persona is only going to fulfill you for so long, do you think pretending to be stronger, smarter, or fiercer than you really going to stop you from embracing your true inner strength? Because aren't you tired of always having to consistently perform? I don't know if you are even doing it for yourself because doing that for so long will tire you out and make you unsure of who you are deep down.

Pile two, I did pull the son of cups. Which is a very charming and very appealing person to be around, this just reinforces that you will be this at all times for everyone and everything. Given that this is the card that's supposed to represent your present reality, I believe that you are a very much cookie cutter desired person. Someone who is always on top of how you appear as. All I see is that there's this big grand facade of being this person that is so desirable and welcoming. Everyone wants to present themselves in a good light to an extent but for you pile two it's very apparent that this isn't a want for you, it is a need and you do whatever needs to be done to be this beautiful picture-perfect version of yourself, but your human, so guess what? You are at a point where you have to chill out and learn to be yourself, not the ideal version at all times. It's okay to not be what everyone else wants you to be, or what your parents want you to be or whoever else you want to idealize you. You're a human, you're only capable of so much, you're flawed, and you can want to do or partake in things that are different from what should be expected from you. 

I pulled The High Priestess in reversed for you as clarification for Son of Cups.  Which tells me that you are a very spiritual person, which would make sense, you are reading a tarot reading. Besides that, it brings up to light that your inner self is not being done justice.

Do you even understand who you truly are? Not what you think you have to be to maintain approval.

This facade habit is not aligned with your highest potential. Because face it, do you think you will be happy for the rest of your life pretending to be something that isn't the real you? Just because others think you will be does not make that idea a reality, stop deceiving your true potential.

I don't want to assume but my guess is you may or may not have immigrant parents that have kind of forced this urgency to be a certain way to please them. At the end of the day, you know how you want to be or wish to be. If you don't relate to that portion obviously disregard it, it could be anything from grades, skills, and appearance. Maybe it's a controlling figure, which could be a lover or a person in power over you causing you to feel like you cannot be authentically yourself. 

The next card for you is Chariot, which is all about heading straight to where you want to be. Who you want to be. Nobody is going to be able to do it for you. You have built a wonderful mask for yourself for so long that it'll be hard to take it off and learn what you look like when you aren't wearing one. It will be unnatural to you at first, but you will get used to it. You got this pile two. I hope the best for you beautiful. 

Pile Three

"I cannot recognize myself. But I'm still me."

Welcome to your reading Pile three. I pulled two oracle cards; Downcast Pride and Is this Me, which the purpose is to reflect on the main themes of your reading. Is this Me is associated with the last stage the Dark Mirrors Oracle grief cycle, which the stage of acceptance, whereas Downcast Pride is associated with the depression stage.

Which brings up the primary point- your shadow self that is being repressed, is your own lack of attachment to joy or fulfillment for your life. This pile does remind me a lot about pile one, as both were attached to the stage of depression. There's been this emptiness in our lives for so long, that we become very dull in life and don't bother to work or see things in a way outside of that empty feeling. Yet, on contrast to pile one, pile three is more so at the phrase of depression morphing into the stage of acceptance. Pile three has wisdom and more insight compared to both previous piles. Pile three you have this inward recognition that everyone is within means of having the capacity to alter your method of thinking and act based on that. You're the more self-aware pile so congratulations on that. I got the High Priestess reversed, Nine of Cups reversed, and Two of Swords as the cards to represent what is being repressed from your past. Nine of Cups was the overall main card for the first question and when it's in reversed I read it as dissatisfaction despite all the opportunities that have been given to us. Perhaps, we overestimated what should be given or granted to us and are disappointed that we don't feel satisfied even if our needs have generally been met. In other words, even though you didn't have the worst hand in life, you're not content. It's possible, you have taken your status, or a piece of your own identity for granted. Given the length of time we have used certain facets of our identity for so long, or maybe even briefly; our perspective of our identity can very much be impacted with that facet we once were attached to and what we used to represent. And it also plays a significant role in preserving our happiness and contentment. Now, this "opportunity" or fragment of identify has gotten away as time gives space for it to vanish off. Life is all about change, it's difficult to accept yet we can't and shouldn't allow it to dictate our personal fulfillment. Change is devasting but so is self-pity, a little self-pity is healthy for you, too much is detrimental for us to expand ourselves onto newer and better things. This could mean anything, such as growing up thin and gorgeous. Years go by and now you've gained more weight than you like, eyes have become dull and wrinkly skin has formed in the corners of your eyes, forehead, arms and almost your entire body. Maybe you're blaming yourself for not earning as much money or for not being able to get the same level of love, appreciation or attention from other people. It could be anything—even a passion that ignited a fire in your life that has gradually faded over time. (Mind you, I am not saying that if you picked pile three you have to be old enough to be worrying about wrinkles or having to make more money from the previous year, any age group could pick this. School, family and mental/physical illnesses can be factors as well not just time itself.) Two of Swords also brings up a different point, that highlights being at a standoff with decision-making. Pile three, did you make a lot of decisions based off of what someone else told you was better or what would best suit someone else? Two of swords displays a lot of lack of self-assurance and I think that part of your fulfillment that's displayed from Downcast Pride roots from not being more assertive in your own personal decisions. The High Priestess is a very spiritual card, and as it is included in the spread's earlier sections, I interpret this to mean that either an inner wisdom has been present but has been clouded by the lack of purpose and achievement. You have potential, but with all this chaotic energy, you have suppressed a lot of this fulfillment. Even after all this time has passed and you still feel as though you are in the same place in life. How come you never knew or tried to figure out what you wanted to do? You're not content and have felt like happiness and fulfillment hasn't been present in life. Pile three, it has to feel devastating for you.

Another way that I’m reading the high priestess is that the high priestess is all about our inner calling and inner wisdom. Based on the other two cards, I would say that this is what is blocking off all this magical, inner wisdom being brought up. Meaning, we must solve our own issues to let our inner voice be shined. Seek assistance from anyone or any place that might help you becoming more aware of your inner reality.

You also got the Son of Cups and Judgement reversed. Which just reinforces what I said the previous paragraph. Son of Cups represents a charming and idealistic person that everyone loves and desires. Whilst Judgement reversed is highlighting missed opportunities and failure. Failure to be the Sun of Cups. Failure to grow past who you used to be.

Mourn your past. Accept it’s not with you anymore. Move on so you can grow. I am aware it’s easier said than done, but it still needs to be addressed.

Lamenting over who you wish you still were, or where you want to be is rather pointless. Stop wishing for something thats now unattainable for you. Look for the new you, answers and solutions for yourself. Morph into something better so that the old you would’ve been jealous of new present you. When you think about it, it’s actually good that some things cannot be changed because then there’s a plethora of options for growth and numerous outcomes for who we can be.

Now, I pulled Father of Swords, for advice for you to help you work through accepting your shadow self. This card is pretty straightforward, Father of Swords is a very authoritative and is someone who strives onward. He’s also someone who’s very logical and knows that in order for blessings we have to work and set ourselves up for blessings. He does what he has to do to get to where he wants to be. He dosn’t live in the past, he lives in the present while working for the future. Spirt wants me to tell you to do the same so you can work through your repression of your shadow.

[antisocialsharky]

What is your opinion of self diagnosed aspd? I've been heavily self-introspective all my life. For, I think, 3 or more years now I've been monitoring a set of behaviours I had discovered that I found weren't present in others. Of course, it made me feel isolated and weird. I thought I was subconsciously trying to be attention seeking and edgy even though I wasn't, consciously, if that makes sense. I held this belief because when I went to my therapist about it, my concerns got dismissed, spoken about lightheartedly or even joked about. She was extremely annoying and unreliable. I ended up dumping her out of own initiative.

But now that I've been studying the criteria and behaviours for aspd and also been observing how diagnosed individuals describe the side effects and their inner experiences, I felt that exact way too. I felt so frustrated for the past 3 years where I switched therapists 3 times and I couldn't get a diagnosis for anything other than PTSD, depression and vaguely said 'obsessive compulsive traits' (which, I don't know if it's relevant to my credibility but I had self diagnosed ptsd before the therapist did. Im not saying aspd and ptsd are just as easy to diagnose. Aspd seems far far more complex and difficult to diagnose. Im saying this because I'd like to think it's proof that I do have a good grasp on my behaviours and thoughts and Im not just throwing psychology terms at the ceiling and seeing what sticks. That I have good self assessment and Im not just speaking out of my ass)

I wish I could talk to a mental health professional about my behaviours/symptoms and all that but I am so not willing to go to a 4th therapist. I genuinely dont know if I could handle it. In the sense that it's extremely frustrating and the last time I tried to speak up about my experiences, it ended like what I've explained earlier and also it felt like she was deliberately trying to dismiss me and put me down. Just because I didn't know exactly how to explain what I was experiencing because I hadn't studied them enough to accurately explain them.

Without a diagnosis, especially considering I'm still a teenager, I feel like one of those edgy teens who try to appear cold and nonchalant and mysterious manipulators. But I am genuinely struggling with my behaviours. It's not something I can just turn on and off. It's controlling my life and relationships. I am so insanely bored and depressed all the time that I resort to harmful and risky behaviour. I tried to slowly poisoning myself to death for days because it was the only thing that made me feel anything. Or I am actively talking to and seeking out depraved disgusting people online to talk to, lead on, manipulate and ridicule because it makes me feel less bored. God that sounded edgy but it's genuinely what I do. And I can't really change it.

My general opinion on self diagnosis is, that I really don't care much if people do it? I just always hope they're aware of the risks that come with it and also hope that it'll end up doing them more good than harm 🤷🏻‍♂️ but I'm also not the authority on this subject, so idk if it matters much what I think about it.

I can't tell you a lot regarding the rest really, since you don't wanna go to another professional (cus if you were open to that, I'd tell you to seek out a PD specialist, or use your PTSD diagnosis to get behavioral therapy and then work on the symptoms there and disregard the label for now). But regarding your last paragraph, I genuinely doubt that adopting the ASPD label is gonna make you feel like any less of an edgy teenager, because that'll be the sentiment you'll be confronted with anyway till you turn 18. So maybe framing it as "reactions & problems caused by trauma" may be an option for you, since you do have the PTSD diagnosis and your struggles, no matter what they're caused by, are valid and could be worked on from that perspective.

To me personally, it just doesn't really sound like claiming ASPD would solve any of your problems, but in the end I can't tell you what to do and I'm not always right, so who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

[system-of-a-feather]

this probably isn't what you meant when you said people could ask you about late stage recovery stuff, but i really have no idea where/who else to ask, so i hope this is okay

so i relate a lot to how people describe their own experiences with functional multiplicity (and to some degree final fusion as well, but to a lesser degree), but i've never been in any kind of actual treatment for anything. i'm not sure if i could have DID or another dissociative disorder at all (they aren't really seen as real by psych professionals in my country, so can't be assessed), but i know i experience myselves as more than one and people i've discussed it with irl don't really understand it at all.

so i was wondering if maybe you had any thoughts to what that could be..? i doubt it could be DID since no treatment and if i even have ptsd it's very mild, but i also know my experiences aren't normal and i haven't seen anyone but late stage recovery DID systems describe anything similar

i hope it is ok to ask, you seem knowledgeable and i have no idea where else to ask. thank you for reading

I might be saying a bit of an unpopular opinion to the online community here and might get shot in the foot for it (unfortunately, but I don't care really) but I don't think you have to pathologize it if you don't find benefit to it.

What I mean is largely just that it doesn't have to inherently be DID or a dissociative disorder to experience yourself as more than one and if you aren't experiencing distress from it, there is no real need to put a medical label on it. There is a lot of rhetoric about complex dissociative disorders being the only real way to experience one's self as more than one because DID is almost exclusively seen as a result of trauma - but that's just not true if SOLELY on the fact that the experience of being one or many in a largely subjective experience and a way of how one likes to look at themselves.

There is no real valid way to accurately measure "perception of multiple selves" because biological approaches ignore the actual and practical reports of individuals and self reports ignore the real biological underpinnings of things like DID and all. And thats a lot of jargon to say "No real study can properly examine the whole breath of human experiences across cultures and biological backgrounds through all research perspectives" and just that you really shouldn't sweat people saying XYZ is unscientific cause BOTH sides will say that and BOTH sides are equally right and wrong depending on your research perspective.

That said, if it is causing you distress or posing you problems, I do strongly recommend talking about it with a therapist. Yeah some can be a bit rough around the edges and the overall mental health system still kinda sucks, but really any therapist you can develop a good rapport with should be able to help you navigate it all from the place you currently are.

Either way, (and I apologize if this is a bit disorganized, I'm in the car and my fiance is sometimes talking to me as I type so it breaks my train of thought) my personal opinion and thought on the matter is that unless its causing you distress, I don't think you really need to stress about what exactly the "not normal" experience is cause "not normal"...

1) Doesn't exist cause "normal" doesn't really exist and the concept of normality, in my opinion, does little other than promote conformity and shame. (Plus in America its used to push white colonizer perspective and ideas on more subjective things like gender, experiences of self etc; experiencing yourself as more than one is actually not entirely abnormal in some cultures and I'd argue that as a Buddhist, experiencing yourself as more than one is an uncommon but absolutely normal experience)

2) Your experiences aren't defined by the labels and research of other people. Your experiences are defined inherently by how you experience them and labels are there to serve to describe you experiences, not the other way around. Same thing goes for research. Research exists to explain odd phenomenon, not to tell people that their experiences are wrong. Research should adapt to include things that don't fit in, not demands that said outliers change to fit the model / theory.

3) As long as there is held respect that your experiences of being more than one might not be the same as someone whose experiences of being more than one comes from complex trauma and/or a complex dissociative disorder, then I see little harm in just, ya know, existing as you naturally do.

I am hesitant to say "endogenic / plurality community might help you find similar people and navigate finding a label if that is important to you" cause I don't actually interact too much with the community myself and I have heard about some toxicity from there (don't touch sophie or cambrian), but I think it could be helpful with some caution.

Anyways, I am having trouble organizing my thoughts cause Im in the car and all so I'll leave it here. Feel free to ask away if you want to add anything or need clarification on my thoughts on this or whatever.

[granulesofsand]

hi there, just wanted to say i love your page a lot and appreciate all the info you put out. :3

we’re a system of i don’t know how many members, undiagnosed but we’ve been tracking symptoms for years and we got a specialist about a few months ago. i don’t feel like she’s taking us seriously and wanting to move forward with diagnosis, or at the very least treatment. we got an assessment and she says we may have DPDR, but i’ve had day- or week-long blackouts/grayouts and every time i mention them, she sort of glosses over it. i know there’s a possibility we don’t have DID or OSDD but i feel very strongly about it, and i’d like to tell her without being too forceful. do you have any advice? and do you also have advice on tracking alters + switches? much appreciated!

During our system discovery, we kept a notebook. Alters signed off if they could and wanted to, and we wrote everything from research to memories to conversations between us. When we were in a position to talk to our therapist, we handed that over and ran.

Y’all don’t have to do that, but there are a lot of pros to writing it down. A cheap spiral notebook would do it, and you have the benefit of seeing changes in organization and handwriting if those come up.

There are a few tests you can take just be reading the questions yourself. The DES 1 and 2 both have options to fill in bubbles on an internet-accessible device, with 2 being the more relevant version for you. The bottom describes possibilities with your calculated number.

There’s several online versions of the MID that compare your results to those of DID, OSDD-1, and PTSD test takers if you run it with a spreadsheet software. They usually require you type the number in the cell, then map it out in a color titled whatever you put in as ‘client name’. We never could use a cellphone for that, though you can run any Word sheet on the free version.

We use (*cough*) Simply Plural for alter tracking. You make little profiles, only requiring a name or placeholder, and add them to front with a button. You can choose ‘add’ or ‘replace’ as the default button.

Mostly we leave sticky notes for each other with task lists and daily information. We have a journal for therapy (memories, rants, research) and one for communication (conversations, front log, calendar).

Try introducing yourself and asking questions about the others on paper. Possessive switching makes this method look good, but switches that feel more like changing or shifting are more common and also require communication.

Alter-specific memories are common in complex dissociative disorders, and journals allow you to see those different experiences even if you don’t notice switches.

There’s a lot of use for the journals; those little discrepancies add up, and you don’t have to face the others too soon (which is a common phobia in systems with trauma-holding and trauma-free members).

The gathering of evidence makes it harder to turn you away. You can always fall back on the slow unmasking, using plural language and referring to the others. Working through trauma introduces the possible origins of dissociation, and clinicians might believe you more if you start there.

Not every therapist is willing to work with systems, and it’s up to y’all whether you could make progress with someone who isn’t. Therapy is yours, and your therapist should be a stone you can lean on.

If you do stay and don’t work with the system, consider working on that separately and deciding amongst yourselves who goes to each session. You don’t have to do trauma work to work through individual problems, though it is preferable your therapist recognize you as individuals.

And honestly? It’s okay if you don’t show the typical markers or have trauma on hand. If you are a CDD system, the hard parts will come up in time. If not, you can still work on system adaptions and quality of life.

Good luck with presenting your case. I hope your specialist will rise to meet you, but I believe you can find a way no matter how it goes.

First Entry

Honestly,

I have not posted on here for many years, I was an avid Tumblr consumer since being in high school. I am now in my 30's working as a licensed mental health counselor. This will be a place for me to maybe get my shit together. I found blogging helpful in the past and my life got away from me.

I am hoping this will be a positive experience for me to process post therapy content and lived experience for someone with complex mental health needs who is also a provider. Which means I need to start by acknowledging my privilege and a white, mostly cisgender, well educated human. I have access to a network that a lot of people do not have. Yet live in fear of for the day for me to finally need a higher level of care and for me to be sitting across from another client or being treated by a colleague. There are always pro's and con's to things I guess.

For now this will be an experiment for me to document my life, as journaling has been hard and difficult and I will explain further at some point.

I will do my best to always tag my content and CW/TW anything specific. I will also not be going into graphic details about anything. I will also only be talking about me and people in my life that are not my clients. I will not be breaking HIPPA or disclosing anything about them. Their privacy is important not to just them but to me as well. As I would hope no other provider discusses my shit online. Only I want to be talking about my stuff online.

All you need to know right now is I have my masters degree in holistic mental health counseling. I am a huge nerd for psychological theories especially feminist and existential content. I also love other nerd shit like video games and board games. I also struggle with complex PTSD and ongoing dissociative symptoms. It has never been made super clear to me if I fall in the OSDD or DID category. While I wish to all the gods that my therapist would just tell me his thoughts on the matter I professionally understand why he has stayed away from pathologizing my experiences under a diagnostic code. I get it. I truly do. However, that does not mean I am mad about it. I will also not be disclosing my therapists name. I will simply be referring to him as My/Our therapist, the therapist, or simply N.

I will be sharing post therapy thoughts, possibly things I have written or made for art. I write, or one of us, writes a lot of poetry so that may make it on here if they feel like sharing. I suspect for the most part this will be a place for therapist me to process stuff.

That's it for now I think.

PS I swear like a sailor. Sorry.

Psychiatric services in Florida

Florida, known for its vibrant cities, beautiful coastlines, and diverse population, also offers a wide and growing range of psychiatric services designed to meet the mental health needs of people from all walks of life. From bustling metropolitan areas like Miami, Orlando, and Tampa to quieter towns and rural regions, psychiatric care in Florida has expanded significantly in recent years. This growth is driven by increased awareness around mental health issues, evolving societal needs, and a stronger commitment to destigmatizing psychological conditions. Today, psychiatric services in Florida encompass everything from traditional in-person visits at clinics and hospitals to cutting-edge telepsychiatry platforms that offer remote consultations. Services are offered by licensed psychiatrists—medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing, treating, and managing mental illnesses through a combination of medication, therapy, and other therapeutic interventions—as well as by psychiatric nurse practitioners, psychologists, therapists, and counselors who work together to provide integrated care. Whether someone is struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, substance use disorders, or more complex psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia, Florida's mental health infrastructure is equipped to provide comprehensive and personalized support.

One of the most notable developments in Florida’s psychiatric landscape is the integration of mental health services into primary care settings and community clinics. This approach allows for more proactive and accessible psychiatric care, especially in underserved or rural areas where specialists may be scarce. Many community health centers across Florida now offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and referrals for therapy within the same facility, helping to streamline care and improve outcomes. For those in crisis or dealing with severe mental health emergencies, there are also inpatient psychiatric hospitals and residential treatment centers throughout the state. These facilities offer 24/7 monitoring, intensive therapy, and medical support for individuals who require stabilization or structured care. Institutions like UF Health Shands Psychiatric Hospital in Gainesville and Jackson Behavioral Health Hospital in Miami are examples of trusted centers offering both acute care and long-term treatment plans.

In addition to hospital-based services, private practices and outpatient mental health clinics play a critical role in Florida’s psychiatric system. These settings often provide a more flexible and personalized environment for patients to receive ongoing care. Outpatient psychiatric services can include diagnostic assessments, psychotherapy, medication prescriptions, and supportive services like group therapy, couples counseling, and psychiatric testing. Practices such as Inlight Psychiatry & Therapy in Orlando are known for combining traditional psychiatry with holistic, evidence-based approaches. They often integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, trauma-informed care, and even lifestyle coaching into treatment plans, addressing the full scope of a patient’s mental, emotional, and physical health.

Florida has also embraced technology in its psychiatric services. With the use of secure video conferencing and digital health platforms, Floridians can now receive psychiatric care from the comfort and privacy of their own homes. This advancement has been especially beneficial for individuals with transportation barriers, mobility issues, social anxiety, or demanding work schedules. Many practices now offer virtual appointments alongside in-person care, making it easier for patients to maintain consistent treatment. Additionally, online patient portals and apps allow individuals to manage appointments, access treatment notes, and communicate with their providers at their convenience.

Importantly, psychiatric services in Florida are increasingly focused on inclusivity and cultural competence. Providers are recognizing the importance of understanding a patient’s cultural background, language, identity, and social experiences in order to deliver effective care. Clinics throughout the state offer multilingual services and specialize in working with diverse populations, including veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, and people of various religious and ethnic backgrounds. Some programs also cater to children, adolescents, and older adults with age-specific care models that recognize developmental and generational differences.

From Trauma to OCD: Understanding How Online EMDR Therapy Can Help

Introduction

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often misunderstood as a condition driven solely by intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. However, for many individuals, trauma plays a significant role in the development and severity of OCD symptoms. Online EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) has emerged as a powerful tool in treating trauma-related OCD, offering relief where traditional approaches may not fully address the root cause.

In this blog, we will explore the link between trauma and OCD, how online EMDR therapy can help, and the role of medico legal therapists and children therapy online in providing effective treatment.

The Link Between Trauma and OCD

Research suggests that people who have experienced trauma—such as childhood neglect, emotional abuse, or distressing life events—are at a higher risk of developing OCD. Trauma can create deeply ingrained fears, leading to intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviours as a coping mechanism.

OCD symptoms related to trauma may include:

Excessive fear of harm or danger

Repetitive checking or reassurance-seeking behaviours

Contamination fears linked to past trauma

Mental rituals to counteract distressing memories

This connection highlights the importance of treating the underlying trauma rather than just focusing on symptom management.

How Online EMDR Therapy Can Help

EMDR therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional impact. Traditionally used for PTSD, EMDR has been increasingly effective for trauma-related OCD by addressing the root causes of obsessive thoughts.

Benefits of Online EMDR Therapy for OCD Treatment

Accessible and Convenient – Online EMDR therapy allows individuals to receive treatment from the comfort of their home, making it easier for those with OCD-related avoidance behaviours to seek help.

Targets Trauma-Related OCD Symptoms – By reprocessing traumatic memories, EMDR therapy reduces the emotional distress that fuels compulsive behaviours.

Breaks the Cycle of Fear and Compulsions – EMDR helps individuals move past their trauma, leading to a reduction in OCD symptoms.

Can Be Combined with CBT – Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a well-established treatment for OCD, and integrating EMDR can enhance its effectiveness by addressing trauma-based fears.

The Role of Medico-Legal Therapists in OCD and Trauma Treatment

For individuals dealing with legal issues related to their mental health—such as compensation claims, work-related stress, or forensic cases—a medico-legal therapist plays a crucial role. These professionals assess and provide expert opinions on the psychological impact of trauma and OCD, ensuring that individuals receive appropriate care and legal support.

Medico-legal therapists can:

Provide formal assessments for OCD and trauma cases

Offer reports for legal claims involving mental health

Support clients in accessing appropriate online therapy services

This is particularly useful for individuals whose OCD symptoms have been triggered by work-related trauma, accidents, or legal disputes.

Online Therapy for Children with OCD and Trauma

Children who experience trauma may develop OCD symptoms as a way to regain a sense of control. Children therapy online provides a safe and accessible way for young individuals to receive professional support.

How Online Therapy Supports Children with OCD

Early Intervention – Identifying and treating OCD symptoms early can prevent them from worsening.

Parental Involvement – Online therapy allows parents to participate in sessions and learn coping strategies for their child.

Child-Friendly Techniques – Therapists use age-appropriate methods, including play therapy and EMDR adapted for children, to help them process trauma.

Conclusion

The relationship between trauma and OCD is complex, but effective treatment options like online EMDR therapy offer hope for individuals struggling with both conditions. By addressing the root causes of trauma, EMDR can help break the cycle of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours, leading to lasting relief.

For those requiring additional legal support, a medico-legal therapist can provide crucial assessments and guidance. Additionally, children therapy online ensures that young individuals receive the care they need to overcome trauma-induced OCD.

If you or a loved one are struggling with OCD and trauma, consider exploring online EMDR therapy as a step toward healing. Online-CBT offers specialized services tailored to your unique needs—reach out today to start your journey toward recovery.

If you or someone you know is seeking SRA Survivors Freedom and ways to rebuild life after trauma, this guide will provide valuable insights and access to essential SRA Survivors Resources to help on the journey toward healing and empowerment.

Understanding SRA and Its Impact

Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) refers to severe psychological, emotional, and physical abuse that survivors endure within ritualistic settings. Many survivors face significant challenges, including:

🔹 Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) – Ongoing trauma symptoms affecting daily life. 🔹 Dissociative Disorders – Fragmentation of identity due to extreme stress. 🔹 Trust Issues – Difficulty in relationships due to past betrayals. 🔹 Emotional & Physical Pain – Long-term effects of abuse and neglect.

For many, reclaiming SRA Survivors Freedom means breaking free from fear, rebuilding confidence, and accessing support systems that foster healing.

How to Achieve SRA Survivors Freedom

Healing from trauma is a journey that requires patience, strength, and the right tools. Here are key steps that can help survivors regain their SRA Survivors Freedom:

Connecting with others who have survived similar experiences can be incredibly validating.

Online forums and survivor support groups offer a sense of belonging and understanding.

2. Seeking Professional Therapy

Trauma-informed therapists specialize in helping survivors of extreme abuse.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and trauma-focused CBT are highly effective in reducing PTSD symptoms.

3. Practicing Self-Care and Mindfulness

Meditation, journaling, and creative expression help survivors process emotions safely.

Engaging in activities that promote relaxation and self-compassion is essential.
