I think I’m more referring to people who go throughout their lives ignoring feedback from the people around them. This isn’t pertaining to cases where manipulation, gaslighting, grooming etc. occur within close knit families or groups.
I can still see your point though and I’m sorry that this...
I’ve had PTSD since I was 4 or 5 and went through chronic dissociation in my early years. My whole brain was in survival mode for decades. It’s one of the reasons I have Borderline Personality Disorder because other than that I don’t have a sense of self.

COCSA (also known as child on child sexual abuse) is a terrible thing to go through. I’m so sorry this has been your experience.

I’m getting closer and closer to being ready to undergo EMDR. I think what frustrates me is that I don’t know where the trauma originates from since I’ve lived with symptoms of childhood PTSD my whole life. I wouldn’t know how to target any big T traumas when I don’t have a definitive memory to...
I was too young to remember so I really have no idea.
