Update. I'm back home and my husband is seeing someone else which really hurts however he is being very discreet and respectful about it. He had started mourning our relationship a long time ago and we both admitted our faults in the marriage. I honestly think it's one of the best conversations...

Ravens very rare here but on higher ground I experienced them years back. Beautiful. Never seen that many but it reminds me of starlings of the 80’s Very much that He must have served them great purpose. What a privilege to witness. Did they help him recover? Motives not always understood but...

Fresh Starts / Clean Slates… have such pretty names, don’t they?… But if you think about it, a completely fresh slate would require everyone you know dying or disappearing so you have no one you can call/reach out to/share history with/seek aid/advice from, your home burning to the ground, and...

I'm just curious if it's much like my own "presences" where I feel like I have to rush to my room, or just away from the presence at night, or else a little voice in my brain shouts at me "IT'S GETTING CLOSER, IT'S GONNA HURT US IF IT GETS US", like it's a big monster in a horror game chasing...

AP are legacy media. For the US, legacy is NBC, CNN, CNBC, FOX, etc. They're all legacy media. These outlets are on a serious decline in ratings because they are bought stories, not journalism. Ground News is an online site which shows bias, left, right, center, so you can get centered news...

I've realised that not have a safe someone to go to when bad things happen is a big part of the problem. It compounds trauma in new ways. You are already doing so well, as seem to have a clear understanding of the wrongs you encountered. Just try and be kind and patient with yourself. Phoning...

Grounded

As others have said, there’s no way to stop them, but there are ways to build grounding and coping methods, which as they’re developed, help keep you in your window of tolerance until it passes. The ultimate fix is processing the trauma, but this is a much deeper and lengthy process which you...

There's a lot of political discussion here and it's no surprise everyone has their concerns about the political climate right now. Politics inflames so much emotion to a point of outright rage and has a deep impact upon people's mental health. However. The shape of our world-wide political...

...These feelings cause me to depersonalize and I can’t think straight. I will talk to my T and see. I needed my parents to give me grounding back then, they left me to fend for myself. I survived, but surviving is not a good way to live… I need to deal my fears and it is hard, as they are...

Sounds like a whole lot of re-experiencing symptoms and dysregulation. Maybe time to get grounded and empty out the stress cup. Are there any big stressors in your life that you can step back from for a while? Or self care measures you can put in place?

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm trying different things to keep calm, deep breathing and grounding techniques. It is so hard, especially when you live together, I find myself getting triggered daily. My ex has not made this week easy on me and last night we had a huge argument. It was clarification...

Well, as a positive, structural changes baked in and just across the horizon are going to avail you the ability to place distance between yourself and your parents and all legacies suggested, radiating from, and in a manner of speaking - waiting to be explored - albeit just not right now. Not...

in my psychotherapy, this is called, "dissociation." i get vicious levels of it and manage the symptoms with grounding techniques and sharing within my therapy support network. i avoid my too perfect for therapy hub-a-lub as much as possible when i am dissociating. he has no experience by which...

Thanks for the suggestions. I've been interacting with the AI engine (Dr Catalyst) and asking about grounding. It came up with the following: I've been trying #2, and what you've suggested is, I guess, a variant of #4. I've never before considered this level of inventiveness in trying to stay...

f*cking PTSD! f*cking sexual abuse! f*cking unstable emotions! f*cking self abandonment! f*cking hole in the ground that I can’t avoid!

I struggle with this too and yeah, the old school of thought was that anger should be vented. But that's shifted now, in terms of anger management classes etc, as for many people, venting can just continue to fuel the cycle. Hard to find good middle ground tho between repression and fueling it...

It isn't childish and I can understand the embarrassment but there isn't anything to be embarrassed about. If you had developed a fever or broken a bone, you would take the time to get better without self blame. The same goes for mental health. Healing from trauma is hard hard hard work. Just as...

Probably the most difficult issue to deal with is when you realize that most if not all you believed was false or based on faulty truths. Realizing that all you knew was based on fear and loathing. When it started happening to me a couple of years ago I was very frightened because all I knew to...

I thought about opening my own savings account and depositing a portion of my paycheck into it. That way I can have money saved for things that come up and the feeling of control because no one else can spend it. Anytime I've pushed back to do what I really want to do is met with his body...

I think this answer actually illustrates beautifully what you believe you actually deserve—because you qualify to say you were conditioned to believe this and you give the logical reason why you have this and why it necessarily needs to be left behind (“my recovery had a long way to go”). So...

Hi / my spouse has PTSD and transition disorder. Diagnosed a few years ago he has received treatment and was doing well until recently where he’s struggling more then ever. Hyponania, completely not himself. Spending all our money and cannot cope with any normal life task. I feel as though I am...

ooo What show did you see? What kind of music do you do? Home studio is on my to do list also, but that's going to wait till after the move we got coming up. Fingers crossed for a house! Music triggers have been an issue for awhile now anyways, but I still have a guitar. I was in orchestra, jazz...

Trauma healing started for me about 2 years ago, before that I didn’t understand what was wrong, so I just suffered. Healing for me is moving forward, feeling hopeful and more grounded, and then …forgetting to keep up my self care, overworking, thus not being equipped for challenges. The last...

He became quite animated about his take on atheism and, or, my lack thereof, and no I haven't talked to him about it. Once I gather my thoughts on this I will express how I feel about the situation next appointment. I think you are right. I see him again next week and I will definitely let him...
