    Tips on regulation?

    I have not heard her argue against the existence against chemical imbalance, only her saying the same information you will find on this site. PTSD is not caused by a chemical imbalance but that trauma changes the brain. Since her channel is primarily focused on trauma in childhood she talks...

    Tips on regulation?

    I found a YouTube channel called the crappy childhood fairy and she has a lot of videos on how to deal with dysregulation that I have found very helpful. I don't agree with everything she says but a lot of it I do.

    It has to be scary for you, but the medical system is a business not a place to go get cured. Trust a woman's intuition. Most wives are better intune with their spouses health than their spouse

    Childhood Reporting CSA ??

    I couldn't follow through with the phone call part emotionally, even though I was convinced He would openly admit it. You can take it as far as you want and get to the trial part and if you decide it is too much, you can tell them you can't take it any farther for your emotional health. So...

    To those who've been here over five years

    Plain and simple, I have had times of major healing, but then life sets me back. I have dealt with several new traumas since I have been here. One of the reasons I am back. I made a lot of progress, the trial under fire kind. But PTSD causing incidents seem to follow me like the plaugue.

    Sensory Processing Issues

    @Junebug the hypermobile joints was a reply to @jacat. Yes I sleep with my arm above my head, but I sleep almost completely face down with my upper body turned one way or another. The SPD symptoms are what I know realize I had as a kid and that the SPD was a manifestation of anxiety. That...

    Does anyone find hearing/seeing their own name difficult?

    Despise it, but no one really knows me by that name anymore. I guess it Is better than the name my mom wanted to give me, but when your on mom teased you viciously over your name.
