Yes. Briefly. I'm going to have to watch it again to fully grasp her mindset. I shut down where it said spiritual awakening = meltdown!
Turning negative energy in to positivity is my whole approach! The video was suggesting I was headed for a meltdown. Perhaps,that was the wine talking. ;)...
Anyone familiar with her? Yesterday I shared how I feel about EDMR and suggested we use it as a last resort. I don't see the need to re live the horror.
She suggested researching Brene Brown. LOL
Thoughts..
What I get from your experience is that you really don't want to discuss your trauma. Seriously..who does?! We all have better things to do. ;)
I believe people with PTS have an enhanced sense of danger. Higher awareness. I don't consider it a bad thing. Personally I want to keep mine...
I'm not necessarily sure it's about overcoming our reptilian brain as much as it's listening and understanding what it's trying to tell us. My T suggests therapy to rewire. I'm not sure I want to rewire what that saved me.
@Wakemeupwenitsallova ..that's a name of a great song. I completely understand you wanting to be blissfully unaware again. About 6mo's ago I said the same thing to my T. I personally believe it's a beautiful thing our mind can protect us by repressing memories. Take all the time you want/need...
You're trying to control your triggers. Right?
Tricky little buggers. ;) I've been trying to master mine my entire life. I've made progress but master them..umm no.
Understanding your triggers is key. Your level of fear is key. Fear works both ways. Fear can save you and fear can harm you...
Don't feel bad! Recently we've had a lot of snow and ice. Last night my car was stuck in my driveway. Boo! Today I managed to get it out. I live on a somewhat steep incline. Coming home this afternoon I absent mindedly pulled in to the top of the hill.
Only to watch my car slide back down the...
LOL! I clearly stated "You don't understand that comes naturally with me and many many many others.
And you reply with "And you seem to think that you are the only one that comes naturally to?"
Such a simple sentence and you managed to slay it. LOL
With all due respect having an objective...
Why don't you say what's really on your mind Solara. You've repeatedly stated you will never be free of PTSD. You defend your disorder. I've repeatedly stated I'm overcoming PTSD. You don't like my positive attitude and that's O.K. Feel free to continue to pick on my spelling etc and twist my...
@Pencil.
"The point is to suspect anyone and everyone around you."
You don't understand that comes naturally with me and many many others?!
The person who gave birth to me tried to put a "human face" on my older brothers abuser. He's a good man...he did a bad thing..blah blah blah. GUESS...
Now that we understand how you feel. Try exploring other possibilities to the same problem.
Putting a human face on the inhumane behavior of sexual predators will solve/lower sexual crimes? Christ! That sounds like brainwashing 101. Nothankyou.
One of the many reasons sexual predators are...
Yes. you are.
You are attempting to present rapist as normal human beings. They're damaged souls. They're dangerous and a detriment to society. And should be treated as such.
So now blame the parents for the actions of rapist? That's an extension of blame the victim. Boo! That's the same...
