I found out about this forum through a book I’m reading. I honestly don’t know where I’d be without my books.

...that to manipulate my parents i wanted them to care i thought they might abandon me i wanted them to see me as a priority i read robert greene books then machivellian books then ahh i know it was dumb but those books fascinated me then i also read ACT and CBT books especially ACT books really...

i have rewatched a certain series over and over just because the dialogue is so good it fascinates me. Actually several movies and series by this same guy, all good but more than that i kniw the stories and most lines and scenes through and through so theres no intrigue or suspense left, I can...

...to heavy metal when I was in high school . I listen to ice nine kills they are band that base all their albums/songs on horror movies and books I started watching horror movies again , was really into them when I was teenager stopped for long time, but now I’m having these Friday 13th...

Still reading this one and have made various progress on 4 others. I am going to be reading part of The Power of Eight tomorrow, since I've been invited to join a group based on the book.

I love snorkling too. I'd love to suba again. And I love doing film workshops. We gave a lot in common.

I am a sufferer but I felt a need to comment. First off I wish my wife had done what you are doing. I think the book idea is great. There is that widely applauded CPTSD book that is talked about often here. I have read it and it is very good, I am just going blank on the title right now...

Thanks @Dark.Green.Feathers I appreciate your detailed response. These are the things that stood out to me but I will also take time for other stuff to come up. I like this description. I bolded the part that especially resonates. The fantasy of being born into a new body. For me it’s not...

Yeah. My abuser was extremely weird when it came to sex. She did everything that she could to shield me from it and sort acted like a prude whenever nudity was in a book or movie yet made me sit in her bathroom while she took a shower as a form of controlling me and “making sure” I wasn’t doing...

...part of my recovery, but my therapy peer network has been the most consistent and reliable thread of my recovery. i view my pros as reference books who are chockful of good info but they never leave the library. my therapy peers are the ones who help me understand how to put that good info to...

i have not read the book, but the title is a tidy synopsis of my 50 years of psychotherapy. 1) the ptsd tool box my psychotherapy started decades before the ptsd theories coalesced into a formal diagnosis. a huge part of that piecemeal therapy was "the psychotherapy toolbox" which helped me...

I'm reading so many - Outlander, Win (my ya stupid romantasy novel that helps me sleep), Atmosphere, and In Five Years. Plus how to books on handyman stuff.

...the lounge. Love it. Am setting up some Philips hue lights and hopefully will get the sync thing working so we'll have a pretty light show to go with movies Just rearranged the bookcases, I'd forgotten half the books I have. Gonna take some to the little library nearby. Love those little...

A bit about me before providing tips and tricks so there's some context - my ancestors experienced genocide on both sides of my family resulting in chronic systemic abuse, assault and abandonment being passed down to me. So during my lifetime of falling through the gaps into repeated...

Sometimes - when the movie comes first - the book is nothing like what we expect. I remember Red October. Movie and book were about as far apart as you could get. But apart from the general premise, characters and title - two totally different things... NRL Rugby Rugby Premiership final...

It’s been a few days… How’s the write up going? (Personally, the more I WANT to write something? The more likely it is I’ll be working on it in the car in the parking lot, day of). When I’m paying for therapy? I usually book double sessions twice a week. During seeeeerious processing? It can be...

Sorry for the slow response, I had a severe medication reaction and spent the night in the ER. I live in a small town 50 miles from the interstate highway. No one wants to deliver here because of the distance and skinny streets. They gave me a week window for the delivery and insisted I do it...

Yes that is the one, the best book yet I have read on CPTSD. It was a life changer for me. I recognized things I was doing that I was totally unaware of. I read about it hear so I purchased it and for me it was a real page turner.

In his semi-autobiographical book Memories, Dreams, Reflections, the pioneering psychologist Carl Jung said, “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” Is this always true? As an abuse survivor (working on it), what irritates me is the abuse and...

When I was scared, I would dream up different solutions to solve or survive the situation. I think that is a little bit of optimism in a negative situation and perhaps resilience. It just made me feel safer in the moment. I enjoyed story writing in my own head growing up, as the stories were my...

I was listening to poet Saul Williams today and he referenced a book of essays by his teacher, playwright Pearl Cleage called “Mad at Miles”, which is a kind of handbook for women in abusive relationships. In it she writes, “I cannot listen to the muted tones of Miles Davis’ trumpet without...

Heck yea! Even got some sales going. Now I'm getting ai to train me on this marketing thing lol and yes, absolutely has been a nice self esteem boost. I even managed to establish some type of safe space in the process. Hope all is well on your end :P

For the past few months I have been reading a book called COMPLEX PTSD: from surviving to thriving by Pete Walker. He is an amazing author and has helped me a lot and I recommend him if you think you are ready to heal. He is a psychologist who writes from the perspective of people with Complex...

It was a book launch of a guy called Adam Kay. He's funny and intelligent. His latest book is called "A particularly nasty case". He was previously a doctor and now writes comedy, TV shows and stuff. I play alto sax. Can also play guitars and drums. Synths. I love jazz, rock, blues, folk...

...creativity beyond the author is perhaps the person doing the cover art/design. The publisher is performing a pretty standard service. The bookseller is providing a standard service. Buy another author's book instead, the publisher and bookseller shouldn't mind. So boycotting an author's...
