7 Unexpected Ways Trauma Therapy Changed Your Life
Trauma therapy can have a profound impact on a person's life, bringing about unexpected changes and improvements. Here are seven unexpected ways trauma therapy can change your life:
Increased self-awareness: Trauma therapist in San Francisco provides a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their past experiences and their impact on their lives. Through this process, people often gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their emotions, and their behaviors. This increased self-awareness allows for personal growth and empowers individuals to make positive changes in their lives.
Enhanced emotional regulation: Traumatic experiences can often leave individuals feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions. Trauma therapy helps individuals develop effective coping mechanisms and emotional regulation skills. This newfound ability to manage emotions can lead to greater stability, improved relationships, and a better overall quality of life.
Improved self-esteem and self-worth: Traumatic experiences can erode a person's sense of self-worth and lead to feelings of shame and guilt. Through trauma therapy, individuals learn to challenge negative self-beliefs and develop a more compassionate and positive view of themselves. As a result, self-esteem improves, and individuals feel more confident in their abilities and worthiness.
Stronger interpersonal relationships: Trauma therapy can have a positive ripple effect on relationships. As individuals heal from their trauma, they often develop healthier and more fulfilling connections with others. By addressing unresolved issues and learning effective communication and boundary-setting skills, individuals can establish stronger and more authentic relationships.
Increased resilience: Trauma therapy equips individuals with the tools and strategies needed to cope with future challenges and setbacks. Through the therapeutic process, individuals learn resilience-building techniques, such as grounding exercises, mindfulness, and self-care practices. These skills help individuals bounce back from adversity, navigate life's ups and downs, and maintain emotional well-being.
Greater sense of purpose and meaning: Trauma therapy can help individuals find new meaning and purpose in their lives. By exploring the impact of trauma and the resulting personal growth, individuals often discover new perspectives and priorities. They may feel inspired to pursue meaningful goals, contribute to their communities, or engage in activities that bring them joy and fulfillment.
Liberation from the past: Trauma therapy provides individuals with a unique opportunity to process and release the emotional burdens associated with their traumatic experiences. By working through unresolved trauma, individuals can break free from the grip of the past, letting go of negative emotions and reclaiming their lives. This newfound sense of liberation allows individuals to live more fully in the present and embrace a brighter future.
It's important to note that everyone's experience with trauma therapy is unique, and the specific outcomes can vary. However, these unexpected changes highlight the transformative power of trauma therapy in helping individuals heal, grow, and thrive.

Being a batfam fan is funny because people will make a post like “here’s my headcanon-“ and it’s just something that’s directly canon to the story then post about major canon events and get everything wrong.
#this post was inspired by me remembering the experience of reading death in the family#after only knowing the fanbase version and realizing oh none of that shit happened okay#like girl you don’t understand it’s so bad#Jason wasn’t even fired as Robin#He’s not accused of murdering anyone by Bruce#He’s not trying to prove himself at all he’s just looking for his mom#The reason Bruce didn’t go after him right away is because he was tracking down a goddamn nuke the Joker stole#Then after he finds it and handles the problem he helps Jason track down moms 2 and 3#Also Jason died in like 20 minutes?? even less??#He died in less time than it took his mother to smoke a cigarette#Bruce literally went ‘wait here I’ll be right back’ and was gone for less time than a trip to the grocery store#and then you go into the Jason Todd tag and they act like Bruce pulled the damn trigger on him#Like besties I don’t know how to tell you this he basically did everything right he possibly could have#Even him benching Jason from Robin temporarily happens so that he can get Jason into therapy about his trauma#Like the whole point is that neither of them did anything wrong bad shit just sometimes happens#That’s the tragedy. The drama.#Bruce couldn’t have made better choices in the position he was in and Jason was never going to make different ones#It was inevitable#Anyway rant over please read death in the family before I lose my mind#batfam#batman#jason todd#tim drake#dick grayson#damian wayne#bruce wayne

Prompt 273
You know what? We need more Good parents Fentons.
And you know what else? Technically, Jack helped Danny defeat Pariah via the use of the Ecto-Skeleton. And like, that’s his son, his baby boy. Sure Danny is and has always been a mommy’s boy, but it doesn’t change that fact. They’re both already feeling horrible about the fact they could have hurt him, they could have hurt their son- they have hurt their son, killed him with their inaction and never again.
So when these oversized jello-eyeballs try to insist that their baby, their precious baby boy, take a crown? Become a king when he’s not even out of highschool, when he doesn’t want it? No. Hell no! That is his Danny-o, his baby boy who was terrified of his own parents!
Which is how Jack, despite technically still being alive even if so-very ecto-contaminated, became the Ghost King.
And for some reason there’s several ghosts rather happy about this- oh, these are his Danny-O’s ghost-parents? Not-ghost parents seeing as some of them have never been anything but a realm denizen? That’s really fascinating- y’know what, want some fudge and we can exchange childcare- Maddie dear come over and meet our co-parents apparently!
Now it’s not all easy, but they’re trying their best, and that’s all that can be asked.
…
Which is perhaps why it’s so exasperating- or as Maddie would put it, downright infuriating- that it is now, almost an entire year and a half later that the Heroes finally arrive to investigate. Well, at least he has plenty of fudge since it’s almost time for the council meeting.
#DCxDP#DPxDC#Prompts#Ghost King Jack#Jack is never picking up a gun again#Why yes they did have a one-night stand with Constantine before#The fentons adopt Ellie as soon as they can which also ends with some conversations with Vlad#Lots of conversations & therapy and Y E A H#Jack is like an unmovable object and Danny is like an unstoppable force#Dan gets snatched up the moment he goes back in time from his timeline#He has no clue wtf to do because it’s Not Fair that Danny gets this#That he gets his parents- that he gets acceptance#Dan doesn’t realize until the whole Fentom Family (& Vlad) hugs him that he realizes he can#Jordan is very overprotective of his second chance at family thanks to trauma#Somehow him and Vlad get on well together- probably the villain-leaning habits#GIW had a complete info blackout on Amity to the point they erased the existence of the city#Hence why it took so long for the heroes to find out#Eventually via Deadman after he disappears for a bit & returns telling them there’s a new king & everyone#is getting little information packets on new rules & getting their paperwork taken care of#Pretty much getting visa (Sp?) cards on what they’re doing in the living world

The number of times I've caught myself in the middle of telling myself how worthless, unlovable, dislikable and embarrassing I am is too many. It's almost every day.
And sometimes I correct myself and say "I am not unlovable" "I am allowed to make mistakes" "I have grown and changed since then."
Sometimes, I just wallow in the shame.

Sadly I can check off alot of items from this list. Time and self education are the only things that will help reclaim life back once you lose yourself with emotional abuse.

You know those video games where the character has to complete puzzles and work through their trauma to escape/wake up/something? Obstacles getting in their way and being tied to their past as they delve more into their trauma and have to learn/heal from it before they can progress?
Danny has been around a loooong time. He's old, he's powerful, and has a space in the ghost zone that he controls much like a god. The ghosts have long since started leaving him alone, the ones he's friends with have their own affaires to deal with, and in his ever shifting labyrinthian layer he's too powerful, and even outside of it he can still kick their asses.
and he's without a purpose
His friends had long since passed on after leading long and wonderful lives with him, not even leaving a ghost behind. His Family as well. Jazz had never had children, and try as he and Sam might have, half dead as he was he couldn't have children. He had no one left and nothing to do, and all of eternity to do it in.
Thinking of Jazz is what made him do it the first time
She loved helping people with her psychology, and Danny decided to do it in his own way. It hadn't been pretty, and it hadn't been easy, but he had found his method. Some took to it better than others, and many had different theories about his lair and his motives, but he helped people move past their trauma. Some believed his lair was some kind of purgatory, and... they weren't totally off
So, when Danny moved on to the timeline of the DC multiverse, he had some experience under his belt
He just underestimated how much trauma superheroes can have
#danny phantom#dp x dc#dp x dc crossover#dp x dc prompt#dpxdc#Danny pulling a silent hill and making superheroes work through their trauma#he even gives them puzzles!#Maybe he does this to villains/former villains too#like the harley quinn show and going into her mind#half kidnapping half cognitive behavioral therapy#I just think this could be angsty and kind of cathartic#Just jason having to address his rage#it was never the pits#and maybe not letting it go but at least redirecting it#I need my boy to be happy okay#and if that takes dragging him and his family through a psychological horror game that's fine#might be more interesting as alternating vignettes

the idea this game posits that just as much as or even more so than lucanis is having a demon problem, spite is currently having a lucanis problem. is everything to me. spite voice bitch you live like this???
#'rook. talk to him >:('#<- both people in this ongoing one person family therapy session. thank god my rook is a watcher I think they might get it#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#lucanis dellamorte#spite#it's a good metaphor for trauma AND it's excellent da spirit lore building on a lot of things already established#and also. frequently hysterically funny. mary kirby has such a knack for Thematic Depth sneaking through#she did it with varric and storytelling and here she is again 'what like it's hard' style. god fuck EA so much#having to admit that the thing happened and was not in his control and that he's different now and can't go back is harder to deal with#than the actual ways he's different now when engaged with honestly. I mean. yeah. yeah. trauma breaks and rearranges a self#and no one goes 'great love this I'd like some more' right after that#add all the cultural fear and shame around demon possession in andrastian thedas and I would not be doing well either haha#but also. poor spite in the middle of all that being like physical reality is already so weird but I really don't want this to be happening

Lost princess of a shadow broken kingdom.
#kingdom hearts#kh#kh kairi#kingdom hearts kairi#kairi kingdom hearts#kairi kh#blue boi draws#was messing around with a lineless style#I love her so so much#gah Kairi my girl Kairi she needs therapy#Princess of a place which is not home. forever cursed to feel a little out of place.#it must have taken a long time to adjust to the islands. I like to think her family is very supportive.#even besides that she was a weird kid. a good kid! but a weird kid. I think that’s part of the reason she ended up with Sora & Riku#they were all just a little bit weird. in different and similar ways (neurodivergence).#she’s well liked but unignorably different. she struggles with the culture and expectations of the island in ways others didn’t.#the people around her understood why and were sympathetic (I hope) but that doesn’t stop it from making her feel out of place.#also the long turn ramifications of childhood trauma is always… fun. it’s gonna take her a loooooonnng time to figure that shit out#I love her

I can't stop thinking of how both Ody and Pen are victims of sexual harassment/assault (depending on how far the suitors got because we already know Calypso is a predator). Now, I am just going to hope that the reason Telemachus said he also had been staying in his room in "Legendary" wasn't because one of those sickos was fine with acting that way towards children too. Nope. That's not a thought I'm letting get into my brain...I just can't let it. The whole family couldn't have gone through this. It's just too cruel.
