    Recovery Trauma Diary

    ...myself. It was a reawakening of terror and knowing I had been broken. At the same time I read Alice Miller's The Drama of Being a Child. Two books that both helped and overwhelmed. For the first time I had recognized my true self and knew I was an abused child. I had never thought of myself...

    Sufferer Finally on a path to deal w cptsd

    You’re welcome. I saw it on a CPTSD Foundation site. I like how it’s written and I feel they’re talking right at me lol. I agree-I take my time with it all or I could end up ordering lots of books and reading none. I’m getting a lot out of working through it, especially alongside EMDR.

    Lets Chat! Moves, Video Games, TV etc

    I’m not much into Anime/manga, find it hard to watch stuff, in general, but that’s a very specific exception, ha. I found it on DVD, so that’ll motivate me to actually watch. That being said, I want to re-watch/finish Cells At Work, too. I’ve been recomended Apothecary Diaries and Dr. Stone, by...

    Obsessive Thinking

    I don’t get mad at myself about it. It’s like reading/writing a book, listening/playing music, or any other creative pursuit. I enjoy it at the time, and later it helps me speed organize, as I’ve already given a great deal of thought. I think if I weren’t able to enjoy/appreciate the reality...

    Sexual Assault Showers are hard

    I don’t see it as self defense but rather communication without words. Because people might notice and step in and help—or at least our survival instincts tell us that. There’s a lovely book called “Nervous Conditions” by Tsitsi Dangarembga. It’s about what it’s like to grow up in a colonial...

    Sufferer Adult child of emotionally immature mother

    ...with one of my sisters being the favorite. My sisters rallied behind my mom, and to this day, I don't have a relationship with them. The books made me feel like I never had a chance at having a life without constant struggles. My therapist warned me to take the second book a little at a time...

    DDNOS What works for you when communicating with your parts!?

    ...a few younger ones, and I know they like bears and elephants (pink ones to be precise :-), so I would play kid's movies, and even better if they had bears and elephants in them. I bought coloring books, encouraged writing in notebooks or leave messages on paper, and made all of that easy to...

    Therapy is hard!

    Tough session today. I was initially going to skip therapy this week as I was put down to work mon-thurs, as I'm off fri, sat, sun and next mon but I took it off as a sick day and asked Charlotte for a session. You know when you just feel exhausted in all ways, physically, mentally, emotionally...

    Therapist Leaving [Rant But Open to Feedback]

    ...Firstly because that time out of therapy made me more reliant on my own voice to balance out the trauma fueled voice. Also reading multiple books related to therapy as well as Pete Walker's book on CPTSD has helped me understand my own response to what I previously would not have considered...

    ...of paper with names of charities on and that was it. I've joined quite a lot of online groups, been to in person things, read shed loads of books and articles and watched tv / YouTube vids galore. And only recently did I find out that making a sensory diet with an occupational therapist is...
