    Building a sense of self

    I've not, I've mentioned parts to T, but he hasn't gone into any depth on it yet. I like books, so I might try to get a book on it. True, the right answer is probably a mixture of both.

    Building a sense of self

    Thankyou :) I completely agree, maybe I've been looking for external things to build myself, when I really should be looking into myself. Life became too much about pleasing others while falling apart inside. I feel parts bubbling up. I guess I should try to listen to them.

    What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?

    I've started listening to Imagine Dragons, like what I hear so far!

    I launched a website.

    Thankyou, you too :) it depends what you are selling & how code-savvy you are. Wix is good as an all-in-one solution & is easier than Wordpress to use, but it doesn't do everything.

    Building a sense of self

    I've realised today that I don't know myself outside of talking with my Dad out of his abusive relationships. It's been a huge part of my life for the past 15 years, I'm now setting boundaries so they aren't a part of my life anymore. My question is about moving forward. I don't know myself...

    I launched a website.

    I launched my new business on Friday. It's been a long time coming, I've developed the product & site! I won't share a link to preserve anonymity, but it is a good accomplishment & hopefully the start of better things to come!

    9c today, still rainy. It's always rainy where I am, its renowned for it. We had a summer a couple of years ago that literally lasted about 2 weeks, it was cloudy & rainy for the rest of summer.

    General Relationship with Dad.

    This is really important for him. He chose to go to a 12 year old for advice, he clearly needs help. Help which I can't give him. I agree with this, I have set the boundary, but he still gives me the cliff notes version, which triggers me a bit. The other day I had the full version, which...

    General Relationship with Dad.

    Thank you for the response @NaeNae75 , it’s given me a lot to think about. You’re completely right, I am not the right person to be helping him, he needs help. I think it will be a bit tough not knowing what’s going on, I’m so used to being heavily involved. You’re right, it is hard!

    General Relationship with Dad.

    Up until now, I've posted solely on the sufferer side of the forum, as I suffer with PTSD. My Dad has had trauma in his life for a pretty long time, so have I. We've been through a lot of trauma together. We witnessed my Moms death when I was 11 & he subsequently got into abusive...

    Meditation techniques and Yoga

    I've found the headspace app really useful for meditation. It's helped me stay more present & uses a lot of different techniques. There is also the calm app, which I haven't used, but has good reviews. Do you have a local Buddhist centre? If you're comfortable enough you could try there for...

    Working out who I am ?

    This is a really thought provoking post. It’s something I struggle with. Most of the things I do for me are in secret. I remember someone saying to me. What do the things you do & enjoy say about you? That tells you who you are. Hope you progress with this :hug:

    I'm angry that I feel unable to stand up for myself due to distortions from the past.

    Trouble accepting having PTSD?

    I did & still do. I can really relate to your post. I've seen it a lot here. I'm glad you're getting better with it. I think our brains protect us until we are ready to fully accept what's happened, acceptance is tough, but I believe it to be a huge part of the process.

    Relationship with Dad advice - shared trauma, feel like I'm abandoning him.

    I think this is true & something I need to read up on. I think this is right also, I think I just need to trust it will work. Thanks guys :)
