"Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving" by Pete Walker. It's been illuminating but i fact checked some of with my T (it just felt too plausible?). The book before that was "Nobody Needs to Know" by Pdgeon Pagonis, which was inspiring. It is about growing up intersex, and it was good to read...

...earn their money. I have received so much more healing through support groups like this and holistic mental health programs and summits and books and materials to educate myself by the people who have experienced it and know the truth. Wishing you well as you continue to move forward one day...

Thank you that helps. I just don't know what is the best decision for me-I need to find out if how I'm feeling is just I need to work through or if I really am not ready to move this distance. It's also hard to reah out to people to get help as I also keep feeling like I should be able to...

I hear that loud and clear lost my partner of 4 years cause of it and trying to cope with that fact while supporting myself but it is hard being the cause of most out fights the distrust the decay of everything just slowly also hurt alot but it gets better I've been recovering for 2 years now...

Ive had nightmares like this before. no fun at all, also ones where people dismiss it/punish me instead. Im sorry about your nightmare. is there anything you can use an an example against this, in your life?

That's something terrible therapy! It's not getting to the crux of the issue at all ... ...which is this core belief. This seems like the original cause of the perfectionism? And if you're able to change this core belief then the need to be perfect won't need to be there?

...off a bit for parents as memories of the workload and economic stress a new mouth to feed comes into view, but odd to flip through picture books to see just a few scattered images of maybe a washcloth tossed against a kitchen countertop and very tiny me positioned for a photograph that could...

Ohhhhh Manga, admittedly I'm more of a comic book fan. Marvel mainly. I do like some Animes though. Spy Family, Demon Slayer (although I heard the Manga isn't great) and One Piece is my favorite.

Great book. As someone who has been diagnosed with CPTSD, it really helped me.

It's ok to be triggered. And how great you have a coach that can help in that moment. Sometimes, understanding the trigger can help. Do you think exploring what the trigger is will help reduce it? Still going despite being triggered is a really great sign. Sometimes just that exposure can...

kudos, raven. may the ancient art of book binding one day be old enough to be new. way back in the 90's i went on a book-binding binge of one of my poetry collections. i mailed most of them off to various people. that was long enough ago that it is mostly forgotten now but still brings a grin...

Hello @parrotthepolly Thank You for replying. In a nutshell I've had PTSD for most of my life and have tried every kind of therapy in the book. I had a breakdown 2 years ago and pulled though it but right now life seems so uncertain. My relationships with family are fraught and i have no...

yes, I don't have a tv and try to curate what I watch online a lot, or I get depressed. Ive always lived in fairly safe areas but there was/is a craze around real life crime/disasters and 101 people on youtube and stuff making entertainment about it, it puts a really bad taste in my mouth, you...

The body keeps the score is a great book. It helped me a lot. I have a neighbour who has been lovely but tells me sitting round doing nothing will make me more depressed. I’ve tried to explain the roller coaster effect but some people think it’s a case of pulling your socks up and things can be...

Pizza in San Francisco at a nice outdoor cafe in North Beach. Yum. Followed by a book buying binge at City Lights bookstore. Close to a perfect day.

Welcome … I have read that book. It helped me understand things more. 🧚‍♂️

...all this? in my own case, taking the focus off of the other adult and helping the children understand taught me more than all the psychobabble books i ever read, and that is A LOT of books. the little ones often see things adult eyes miss. just wondering. i mostly wanted to welcome you to...

What books do you recommend?

He had a difficult childhood where he was essentially abandoned at a pretty young age and left to fend for himself. He has problems with memory and concentration. When things are bad he has said that he doesn't feel anything emotionally. He is hypervigilant - it seems like he is always on alert...

Book 📖

I've never been to this clinic before, so I'm not the most helpful person, but everything about this seems quite sketchy, the positive reviews feel fake and copy pasted meanwhile the negative ones are in a lot of detail. Someone also mentioned that they're awful at handling medication, and that...

This looks really good, because I actually have complex PTSD even though I’m only diagnosed with PTSD. I am going to give this one to try. Thanks for sharing. Yes, we can easily get overwhelmed and then triggered. But I take my time. I don’t make any decisions quickly. That helps to alleviate...

So, I think this depends. I have had repeated issues like you describe over the last couple of months. I think the anger is absolutely justified, and I think it's unhealthy to allow it to just fester (and to allow people to walk all over you). Several meetings in one week get postponed because...
