    The Unhoused Mind - C-trauma And The Sense Of Never Belonging

    I could never do it. Never. I either became *their* therapist, deciphering their behavior, going along for the ride or just simply tuned them out since it wasn't working. I felt like a number and a case, never as equals. Never as having an ally and certainly nobody I could trust. Like Dr. Heller...

    The Unhoused Mind - C-trauma And The Sense Of Never Belonging

    @Lucycat Every single human being in my life from earliest caretaker to the last attempt at a relationship many many years ago up and left. At first it was on their part, I had the great *fortune* to be born into a collective of individuals who could not love but only hate. Then they left, one...

    The Unhoused Mind - C-trauma And The Sense Of Never Belonging

    Aww. It's early here. And now I have a lump where I am about to cry. So.... Nature has always been such a healer to me. It is really the only place I can be without freaking out. I speak the language, it speaks to me. I think I took a downfall when I became homeless a few months back and had to...

    The Unhoused Mind - C-trauma And The Sense Of Never Belonging

    Ah. There is much to be learned about where are *stuck*. On this level - of neither here nor there. I know it's easier to be at a bird's eye height from afar. This way I can see but I am also safe. And flying is also a lot of fun. Being here on this planet - I resisted and still resist. I was...

    The Unhoused Mind - C-trauma And The Sense Of Never Belonging

    Thank you for your kind words. I had seen the video way back but couldn't really focus on it then. Now it popped up and it was that - I must learn everything about this method, so I did order the book and am looking into Somatic methods on a whole but truly he has it down to a T. And I very...

    The Unhoused Mind - C-trauma And The Sense Of Never Belonging

    Thank you. Yes - 100% on all the points you've raised. This sense of disorganized thinking, being hypervigilent, feeling less than, not deserving - even though consciously you're telling yourself *I can do this* - and you're repeating the affirmations, reading the books, going to 12 step...

    The Unhoused Mind - C-trauma And The Sense Of Never Belonging

    Absolutely. Then of course there are the main components of the disorganized attachment pattern to even allow relationship to develop - how to trust, stay the course, become vulnerable etc. I have not been able to do this - for most of my life I've lived like a hermit, shutting out people and...

    The Unhoused Mind - C-trauma And The Sense Of Never Belonging

    I think the first home, the womb laid down the blueprint for later problems in finding my place in the world. Not being welcomed in the world, not fitting in, not having a sense of belonging - that's all tied in to this state of homelessness. That was a state of pre-language, you can't put what...

    The Unhoused Mind - C-trauma And The Sense Of Never Belonging

    Homeless and complex trauma - or PTSD seem to go together in a lot of us, as home is the foundation, the place of the heart that was shattered. It's such an important concept in healing the psyche - I'm just lacking the words and ways on how to go about a search on this. Studies don't cut it...

    The Unhoused Mind - C-trauma And The Sense Of Never Belonging

    As someone who is in their 50's now and at a crossroads where to turn, I've been literally without a place to call home my entire life. Beginning to put the pieces together when I came across the phrase the *unhoused mind* when discussing homelessness and PD's. What I've been attempting to do in...
