...this website; so much to see and learn from. You can search teaching by category which is nice. Also, she has a podcast that I love. Her books on radical acceptance are worth the read. :) https://www.tarabrach.com/ Kristen Neff - Self Compassion - Great info and practices at this...

...media is one sided so disregard that. Sorry to hear about ex and sounds shitty (I'll keep profanity to a minimum). I say f*ck country issues, focus on you. let the shit talkers worry about that. Go outdoors have coffee and read books. Do the things that identified as fading out if that makes...

My children. My DnD group. My house. My books. Tea. Bacon. Fish and chips. My best friend. A Hungarian girl I used to work with and whose smile makes my heart do backflips. The forests of the North, so different from forests here. Being a lawman.

So I’ve been seeing a therapist since January at a clinic next to me she was so good all the time warm , caring, non judgmental etc she then told me in march she will be leaving at the end of the month so I told her I can book with her through her website so she’s like oh you know about my...

Re. My last post: normally I wouldn't say that much for OPSEC reasons, but f*ck me if even my employers aren't just putting the whole f*cking war on Facebook. Not how we did things in my day, but there you go. Used to be you waited until it was all over then wrote a book about it.

No , wasn’t informed at all she told me all the stuff during the assessment, she decided all that within a week from last time I’ve seen her at the clinic to the assessment. So I’ve seen her after the assessment, and she was even more weird . I was like what happened what did I do you...

I also came to this forum from Pete Walker's book on cPTSD :-) Taking it day by day is a really good idea, especially in these early stages of healing. And good on you for getting out of an abusive relationship!

Hi I'm diagnosed ubpd, PTSD, alot more disorders alot of childhood trauma and a lot off bad relationships trauma but I'm processing everything now at this point in my life I'm getting a lot of support from different good people was thinking about writing a book on my life would it be stupid has...

...first night here on Monday. I'm also excited because I found out what my next contract will be. I'm afraid because I found out what my next contract will be. If it goes well we will all have stories to dine out on for years and I'm sure there will be books and podcasts galore. If it goes...

Nothing matters. For the second night in a row I have been drinking. Tonight, though, I railed some Romanian girl. That's not important, though. Nothing is important. All just dust in yhe wind, right? Whatever I had is gone. Whoever I was is gone. This place is just full of ghosts now. I need...

I am reading three books currently. “The Book of Talismans, Amulets, & Zodiacal Gems” by William Pavitt, first published in 1914. Very Theosophical and Rosicrucian. “The Analects of Confucius” translated by D.C. Lau and published in 1979. There are probably much better translations out there...

...stress is severe. So I didn't buy anything for Xmas because I don't know how things are going to go financially. Just a book for B. I got two books. A little present for two kids and that was it. Despite sleeping in the car, living in a house, hotel, and now a second caravan I am hanging...

Hello. I first joined this site five years ago and forgot I did until I found an old password book this afternoon. And based on my lifestyle and inability to get things done I could well have c-ptsd. I certainly have complex trauma from my childhood development years in the form of verbal...

...mentally. in a yr and a half i have come back from the brink of inability to focus long enough to read a paragraph to seeking out new ideas in books and journalism with joy and momentum. Horrifying thing…..i didnt miss it when it was a lost skill. it took survival instinct to bring me to try...

Thanks @arfie . That's a great way to look at it. Someone said that if the book falls open to that page, it's ok to close it and put it back on the shelf. I don't know why that is sometimes hard for me.

I think this is basically Peter Levine's theory of trauma, if I remember correctly. He has trauma therapy books using exactly this approach, called "somatic experiencing".

I just wanted to clarify that I didn't mean cats was my hobby lol. Just that I don't have much time left over for hobbies anymore because I'm always taking care of my cats and my daughters cats. There are a lot of them.

...into reading before bed for a while now - since it’s usually pretty effective at quieting my brain before I go to sleep. But that is one of the books that does the opposite - I’m literally just thinking about it and the thought of continuing the book makes my chest and throat feel tight...

That sounds super strange. Were you informed at some point of it being temporary? Yes, I think it makes sense for you to say something to her. Probably best to try to word it in terms that 'sound professional'. Not so much for your sake but because people who are in any professional circles...

I don't take specific PTSD meds BUT things I do to support myself? 1. Get present. Be present. Sounds stupidly simple but.... Make a tea, smells of your present like cooking, or cookies, or laundry. Maybe hold a thing - like a toy or a book. Make a list of things to do, simple easy 2 minute...

...and well. I was a fan of Wheeler Dealer TV show for many years and I would catch the odd (usually negative) comment form the host about someone. I enjoyed Spike Milligan's books and the TV show Black Adder that are full of rhyming slang. As was Still Game, a comedy about two Scottish retirees.

Releasing ultra processed people Chris Van tulleken. I love the book. I love people like him, doing the right thing.

2 books that I read some 15 years ago. Allies in Healing: When the person you love is a survivor of child sexual abuse By Laura Davis. A few things about this book. First, if not CHILD abuse it still may offer some thoughts. Second, be aware it is "the person you love" and it includes...

Happy new year Cazz. May you have a prosperous and healthy 2026. I've just got back from the Buddhist centre. Had a good time, feel very grateful for the place. I've just finished reading the "book of joy" by the dalai lama and archbishop Desmond tutu. A nice easy read with good philosophical...
