My experiences are different to yours and am a Cis man, male and male at birth? I find what you have been through to be awful and incomprehensible. Why would someone do that!? Is where my mind goes, i ask the same questions about my experiences. I am not capable of such things so do not...

I'm an atheist and find i can identify what I consider my soul. Cannot explain it other than the concept that's widely known. There is also my core, mind and body. I had a therapist that first mentioned damage to my soul. Fit with what I felt but didn't understand. You have to know where the...

Damn, reading this made me realise something that makes a lot of sense. I was rejected by my biological father at birth, he ignored me my whole life, earliest memory is under 1 year old from what I've been able to find out. I remember him sneering and taking my brothers but leaving me behind...

Control is more of a perception rather than something we can actually have. Can you truly control the world around you and anything that happens? We can control ourselves most of the time. People have spoken to me about control, I find it's more focused on myself, on not being controlled or...

If you need your service dog, refuse to attend classes if you cannot have him with you. They have to make allowances for you, if you agree to not have him with you they won't. Make it clear what your needs are and they will meet them. You know what you need to be able to do achieve your goals...

Should maybe start a new thread but reading here made me wonder. Do you want to be fixed? To undo anything and everything done and learnt? Myself I find i do not want them to have happened, at the same time I am who I am because of what I have been through. I have been worse and better but I...

Found this link on here posted by someone else EMDR Creator Q&A Explains better than me, maybe it will help.

You're doing everything right. Therapist will take you through it and spend time teaching you techniques to help. Someone might have links but could look up grounding and safe place techniques. Sounds like you have a good environment for it, having a routine will help. Remember the ptsd cups...

Are you doing ok Sophie? Stuck in my head that what you went through must still be quite new and raw. Perfectly normal to be having a hard time. Take all the time you need and do what you can when you can. Slow and steady will get you where you want to be quicker.

Don't let frustration get to you, I find if I'm really struggling to sleep I'll listen, watch or read something relaxing for half an hour. Then try to sleep again, normally breaks whatever cycle I have going on so I sleep quicker and easier. Sometimes you won't sleep well, it happens. Maybe...

Oh that's helpful thank you! I have tried some of them and had no luck, my postcode seems to have nothing. I did not know PALS could do that though, that's exactly what I have been trying to sort out. I will do that this week!

Pasta sauce Simple meal, swap out with whatever you have that's similar. Chorizo to taste, 4 tomatoes, 2 peppers, one onion, 3 garlic cloves, one tin of chopped tomatoes. 3 or 4 servings with pasta and salad. Chorizo, tomatoes, peppers, onion and garlic, roasted in the oven for 20 mins. Chop...

Welcome and well done!

Oh yeah I'm in my 40s. I have the same confusion. They dont even believe her, seems she spreads so much doubt, confusion, and concern they have a duty to keep checking on me. I dont fully understand it myself, seems to have died down last two days after I made a complaint. There is a history of...

That's a good idea thank you. I have contacted them about something else so will ask about that when I see them.

So I have suffered a lot in childhood and adult life. There's a lot. I will write one day but not sure where to start. One of things is my mother unable to accept my brothers can do anything wrong. One of my brothers committed a crime, pinned the blame on me and ruined a lot of my life. He was...

It's hard to hear or accept anything bad about a loved one. That's part of the reason why so many people have had and continued to have bad things happen to them. There can be better ways to communicate and get a point across. Sometimes it doesn't matter. No point keeping it all secret and...

Don't think you pushed your kids away to hurt them or yourself. Sometimes a bit of distance helps to identify and tackle issues.

Doubt is not trusting or valuing your own opinion or view. If you did then the facts or details dont matter. Probability being elsewhere, means you doubt as the probability of being correct is being associated with something else?

Even if your boys would be ok, you are still important in your own right. Never go down that path. You are more important than any job or relationship. If he can't be there or understand that, allow you to talk and share with your peers without recrimination, maybe you need to question the...

It's more abuse. Just because he says it does not make it true. He has made you believe there was more. More to traumatise, manipulate and hurt you without doing it. Even if it is true, dont let him hurt you with it again. What you have said is on record, stand by that and trust in yourself...

Trust yourself. You are shopping on etsy, lots of rules and ways to resolve issues. You have raised a concern and the seller will respond, once the seller responds and you open communications you will have more choices on how to proceed rather than the only result being unknown conflict. I...
