Thank You for posting this video!

I resonate with everything you said here. Thank you for sharing. Self-abandonment is raspy the crux of this issue. So many of us were raised to feel as if our needs didn't matter, therefore, we never got a chance to know ourselves. Trying to piece myself together in my 40s when I never even knew...

You are not definitely not alone. I love this thread because I NEEDED to read all of this. Self-love and self-worth is the hardest hurdle. I'm in my early 40s and much of my romantic life has been spent in either very toxic situationships where I'm allowing myself to be treated poorly or very...

I'm sorry that you are experiencing a lack of resources. It's very frustrating and I think without access to a lot of money it's really hard to get access to quality treatment modalities. I

I'm with you 💯 here. I'm really trying to refrain my mistakes, whatever they may be, as choices made as results stemming from my trauma because that is true! That inner critic can really drown and the biggest thing I'm learning on my healing journey is how even a small once of it is a poison to...

Although I'm not in your situation with a family, this really resonated with me. I've been a hospitality worker most of my life. It's something I was born into but have never managed to escape even with a useless "liberal arts" college degree. Anytime I've left, I've returned because I couldn't...

Meant to say *Broken homes! But definitely Freudian Slip rings true too!

Welcome! Life is hard... harder for people that come from brown homes. Currently deep-diving in all of the ways that my extremely stressful childhood home left my nervous system a total wreck so yeah I get not being able to focus and living up to your potential. I didn't get serious about trauma...

Feel like maybe it's a piece of tile??

❤️ this thread! A happy sidewalk!

I wish I would have found this book sooner. It really does put things very clearly into perspective. I'm currently reading "Good Morning Monster" by Catherine Gildner and wow is all I can say...

Apology accepted. Many of us have family of origin trauma coupled by later-in-life traumatic events also. They are all equally important. Many of us also ended up in abusive relationships because of our family trauma. We cannot heal what we do not first acknowledge and then try to understand. ❤️

@Ecdysis I recently found Pete Walker's C-PSTD book as well and it has been extremely illuminating to me. I too find myself in these deeply ingrained beliefs where my inner critic runs the show. In fact, it has been for much of my life and I'm only just realizing this at 41....sigh....looking...

Happy Sunday to Everyone! This group is the only place I've truly felt understood and want to thank everyone who is here. I wanted to share a book with everyone that I've attached a photo of. For me, it has been the most useful book I've read. It is a blueprint on how to manage your symptoms...

Hi welcome! 🤗 we all seem to experiencing a lot of similar feelings and it's just so amazing to have anyone to talk to let alone a whole group of people. I'm reading this book here that I've attached and I think it's been the most useful thing I've read this far. It's really a blueprint on how...
