Last night we had another extreme weather event. The lightning hit a house in our area and it has a large hole in it. (We It also struck concrete and left big wholes in it. It was quite impressive. Close to this house). As I live in a lightning strike area, I am very cautious when it rains...

1 - When you have No. Idea. If you’re being totally paranoid, or completely reasonable? 2 - When even the idea of a little paranoid, overly cautious, sensible given the situation… = 🤨🫨😵‍💫😤🛑 = From didn’t even occur to -> Nope. Those aren’t things. Not real things. You’re just making shit up...

...of rebuilding. But uprooting can amplify instability when we're already raw. ❤️ Let's gently explore reinvesting here with some grounding tools drawn from CBT and coaching. The goal? Shift from resentment to curiosity, one small step at a time. Pause and Ground: When the urge to flee hits...

Not what I said but it’s interesting that it gets turned into that—it *does* seem easier to think about in black and white—or to imagine that others do that—but like you said, we all have that line—for you no books by rapists. I’m getting the consensus that many of us have a hard line and a...

Hey everyone, I've been following this thread quietly, and wow, there's a lot of raw energy here. The rage about the Tesla stuff, the border chaos, the fires and riots... it all feels like the world's spinning out of control, doesn't it? Like madness is leaking out from every screen and street...

Being part of something bigger than me and my tiny circle has always helped historically, not so much now because my health won't let me, but when I was *old me* I spent a heck of a lot of time volunteering. There is something very centering about being a cog in a big wheel doing little bits of...

I feel like it's both. People need to know how the system that allowed it to happen works, so they stop passively allowing it. AND we need justice. Thing is, even assuming the justice system were willing to arrest these people, there are soooooo many who still worship the ground the elites walk...

I struggle with trust. some of my parts are very misanthropic too. humans are selfish/evil/etc. especially when it comes to sex. those are my distortions, based on my experiences. they cover "everyone" and yet I have people in my life who I *do* trust and who are kind to me despite me being...

How do you find shifting back and forth “between lives”? Energising, exhilarating, peaceful, grounding… exhausting, stressful, vexing, problematic?

Three European green woodpeckers at once, foraging in the ground after recently-cut meadow grass. Never seen anything like it, they were together and must have been a family. They arrived shortly after I received some good news, which is kinda fun even if it isn't magic.

Every day would be a reminder after being raped as a toddler I would expect. And it is actually the role of the media to inform public debate so the audience can make informed decisions. If the media is not letting me know something that is relevent to such a highly charged issue, I am going...

Not surgery but yes injury, and also stomach aches or exercise at times. Personally, I don't think the stimulus of what the trigger is makes a difference on the impact of what the trigger feels like. And it makes total sense that your body is thinking the pain now is the pain from then. That's...

Ground.news gives a reporting of how various sources are covering news topics. I wonder why protestors in Ottawa who were on their knees were beaten the shit out of. They were protesting because truckers were losing the right to work. Meanwhile, many other protestors in various cities defied...

Yeah, it's very unsettling going through that. It kind of throws everything that has grounded you out of the window. It does pass, if that helps any. The fact you're open and ready for this shows you it's the right time for you to explore all this.

Thank you for this—hearing your firsthand experience is incredibly helpful and brings a massive amount of peace of mind. To give you a bit more context, we haven't really had a chance to set up a solid communication framework yet. We had an emotionally intense couple of weeks where things were...

It sounds like it's not 'just' Christmas and the loneliness it can evoke, but that you hold trauma in your body from around this time? You aren't alone in your feelings of despair and SI. Can I ask what SRA stands for? I'm guessing satanic ritual abuse? I'm just coming out of 'November'...

I saw the mama hens with their chicks bopping along behind them. It made me feel like the world was ok. Very grounding.

Hey gianlucabr21, wow, reading through your story hit me right in the feels— you've been through an absolute gauntlet, from the abuse and loss to the addiction spiral, those brutal clinic stays, and clawing your way back to stability with the security gig and dipping your toes back into military...

Valid concerns. Domestic violence scenarios are high-stakes, and any AI needs safeguards against oversimplifying life-or-death decisions. Karen's No BS style shines for accountability in therapy-like exchanges, but yeah, "just leave" without nuance ignores realities like safety planning...

I can't help but think that a big part of the reason other countries aren't willing and ready to help is the way things have been handled. In the world I move through everyday, if I ever want someone to help me, I try to avoid insulting them. I'm referring to things like the whole "NATO has...

I deal with it well

It would have to be That is easy enough to do, its simply teaching people all the calming and grounding methods prior to hitting the hard stuff. The 101 of therapy. Learn how to control when dysregulation comes, then start hitting the hard stuff to create the dysregulation, which is the only...

That image you just used—being scalped alive—that's not hyperbole for you. That's what your nervous system is actually experiencing when you try to revise. And the fact that you can name that so clearly tells me you're incredibly aware of what's happening in your body, even when everything feels...

...process - when I first started I could only hold a memory for about 10 seconds before it overwhelmed me. So lots and lots of baby steps, grounding exercises, coping skills, blah blah blah. If you don't have the right kind of t they may rush you thru that part and that can be retraumitizing...

...freeze-fight-flight loop. Build small accountability wins, like committing to one exposure task per day, such as recalling a memory while grounding in the present. Relationships improve when you stop manifesting a perfect partner and start communicating your boundaries clearly, without the...
