Who here relates?

Maybe you could add a belief that still frightens you.

reminder that cluster b disorders form due to childhood trauma

borderline, narcissist, antisocial, histrionic, are not folks who refuse to do any work on healing their traumas.

we have incredibly emotionally and mentally painful disorders that we work on every single day

Somatic resources for healing trauma and PTSD

I decided to bring together a range of links and online resources in one place to make it easier for people to find their own path to healing. I’ve noticed that certain personality types, especially Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) seem to be more susceptible to trauma. I hope that these tools will help you get started on your healing journey.

Where to start:

EFT Tapping* - Learn it for free here: What is tapping and how can I start using it?

Butterfly hug exercise: The Butterfly Hug (EMDR Self-Help)

* Please note that it’s best to use EFT for emotions and thoughts in the present moment, or any memories that come up spontaneously. Intentionally going back to traumatic memories and using EFT on them can be too triggering for many people (putting them into a hyper-aroused state, and possibly leading to dissociation), and if you have PTSD/C-PTSD is not advisable without the guidance of a trauma-informed therapist. This can also trigger symptoms for people with chronic health conditions.

Everything is cloudy but I will heal and I will rise. Bearing through unbearable pain of hurts that have been done to me.

Begin again.

And again, and again.

Starting again means learning again; healing again. It’s a chance to get it right—again.

For my primal brain on up to my cerebral brain, I need these reminders.

[therapytips]

When you are abused as a child you tend to either remain stuck at the age you were most traumatized, or you age on a speed-run. You are always either too responsible, or not responsible enough.

Take your time to enjoy your childhood at this moment. Then, move on.

Our past happened, and there's no going back, but it doesn't have to define us. We can reclaim our story, our passions, and our lives from what we've endured.

Many people think I hate the church, so I constantly criticize and make fun of her.

Not true!

I don't hate the church at all.

In fact, I owe her a lot. I consider her my spiritual mother in many ways.

But like some mothers, she was too controlling and sometimes even abusive for me to live with her.

I will continue challenging her to be her best self, and to be a safe place for people like me and you.

She needs to give up her need for control, and the use of abuse to maintain it.

That's all.

Would you encourage a woman to stay with a man who assaulted her once in a while, even though he provides a roof over her head, food, and financial security?

No!

We'd help her figure out a way to escape to make a happy life of her own beyond his control and abuse.

In a way it's complicated because we did receive a lot of good from her, but we simply can't put up with what we sacrificed for it.

Do you relate?

I am bad at confessions. I can't accept rejections. I become a dangerous animal when rejected. Be it rejection of any form. I have been head over heals in love with a person since quite some time. I think it is love, maybe it is an infatuation. I don't know. It's been way too long since I felt something like this for someone. A couple of months ago I was talking to my ex, complaining how his abuses made me incapable of loving someone. But I think I regained my capabilities of loving. When I love, I love hard. My emotions are way too strong than any of you can imagine. And I'm proud of this. I confessed about my emotions to this person, finally. And I have no regrets whatsoever. I didn't wait for any answer. I just ghosted the person after confessing. 😂😂😂😂😂 Anyways, I feel like a goddess now. I have super powers. I have super power of emotions. And I embrace this. My weakness is actually my super power. It is a late realisation, but I am never going to feel sorry for myself for feeling things way too much than others.
