    Research Repeated patters from childhood and adult sexual assault.

    I appreciate your feedback and I can see where you are coming from... to be clear I am not actively engaged in any research studies at the moment this thread was started for me to connect with real people who are suffering with trauma related symptoms, not just a prescreened group in order to...

    Do you experience instant pain and then drop into depression...

    Look for trauma informed body workers.... This is called somatic therapy... body workers could be massage therapist, physical therapist, acupuncturists etc... trauma is a mind/ body/brain thing... so make sure your specialist are trauma informed... you don't have to talk about the specifics of...

    Sufferer childhood abuse --> adult problems

    Sufferer childhood abuse --> adult problems

    No worries at all...:) Yes I know... the research is still new on the psychedelic's, and they are a controlled substance... so access is near impossible and will be for years until research goes through the proper channel (unless you know a guy who knows a guy - hahah which I do not! ) I will...

    Sufferer childhood abuse --> adult problems

    Hello, welcome... I understand your reluctance to therapy- not all therapist are created equal, so I would definitely recommend you reach out and interview a few more therapists before you throw in the towel. This is a person you will develop a relationship with so don't just pick the first one...

    Undiagnosed Not quite sure what to think anymore

    A few things 1. trauma is in the eye of the beholder- if you feel uncomfortable and unsettled with the things you experienced then that is real - to you- and that is what matters, regardless of the intent of the persons words or actions. Period. (I would say what you are describing is not a...

    Sufferer My Story- there is hope! CSA, cPTSD

    YYYEESSSS - EXACTLY!!!-- 99% of therapists and doctors and sufferers actually only attack the symptoms and don't work to release the trauma memories ( a cluster of neural pathways that create associations) themselves... to be more specific... you ( by you I mean survivors in general) have to...

    Sufferer My Story- there is hope! CSA, cPTSD

    Yea this was the hardest part I think... you know that you are capable of so much more and feel like there is an invisible anchor holding you back... The process I went through to let go of this trauma (aka the invisible anchor) boiled down to something super simple... and I am currently...

    Research Repeated patters from childhood and adult sexual assault.

    I understand where you are coming from- and you aren't wrong- however I have studied the effects of trauma on both men and women in my research- at this point I am narrowing down- the tighter I make my "niche" the more specific I can get to actually making a difference- I can't be everything to...
