    Happiness is kinda scary

    So, I’ve been in a really good place. I’m doing work that I love. Slowly building my ‘tribe’ of people who get me. Have a lot of support around me. And overall my symptoms have been very much in check. I guess you could say I’ve reached a point of experiencing some post traumatic growth. But...

    Is this PTSD brain or am I ok to have feelings about this?

    So, I’m struggling tonight with all these emotions that I don’t even know where to begin explaining. I guess a mix of anger, sadness, frustration and confusion. My partner and her ex have been quite amicable, despite her ex cheating on her with a mate. They catch up, they talk, text and I’ve...

    Done

    I don't even know if this is the right place to post this. I've had a massive crash out of no where and I feel totally empty. I don't even feel like I can drag myself out of bed today...but I know I have to...and that thought is sending me into a massive panic. So Im in a mix of panic and...

    Bringing forward appointment?

    I saw my T today, and we hit some pretty deep core material that has rattled me. I've spent the afternoon on the couch balling my eyes out, which for someone who doesn't usually cry much is really hard. My head is all over the place with random memories, and its so painful. I have another...

    Rough couple of days.

    I have no idea where to post this. Its been a rough couple of days. Ended up in hospital with a gyno issue that I ignored for ages because I didn't want anyone looking at it...bad move. Got to the point over the last few days where I had no choice. I feel gross. When I was coming out of the...

    Childhood Vague memories surfacing.

    I was abused by my uncle around the ages of 4-5 years old. I've always had memories of one part of the abuse, but was able to shove it into the back of my mind and pretend that it was all good and that it didn't bother me...that worked great..until it didn't. My world kind of fell apart. I...

    Made t run late...now feel guilty

    I had a bit of a shocker today. I had a bad flashback this morning before my appointment and went to therapy in a bit of a bad way. T helped ground me, and we started working through some stuff and doing parts work. Towards the end of session, something in me let go and a memory came flooding...

    Hakomi?

    I had an absolutely amazing T who I saw for a little over 12 months, but reached a point where it was like I didn't have any words left. I still feel so much in relation to my trauma, but its like there are all these feelings and things trapped inside me still, and yet I have no words for them...

    Massage therapy & trauma

    About a year ago my marriage broke up. Not long after that it was like a vault opened in my brain and everything I had kept locked up in there regarding my childhood abuse exploded. Functioning became hard. Nightmares started. Flashbacks. Dissociation. Anxiety. Depression....its been a rough...

    Hating Myself For Not Being Able To Say It...

    Been seeing my T for about 6 months now. She's great. I trust her and feel totally safe with her. Today I found myself in a position where I really wanted to disclose something. To tell her the part of my abuse that absolutely cuts me to the core and makes me feel so disgusted about myself, but...

    Does anyone else get this? zoning out when stressed.

    I tend to zone out quite a bit if I'm stressed, really tired or just feeling triggered in some way. There are some times where I'm just staring off into nothing, and it almost feels like a wall goes up behind my eyes...but behind the wall its like theres something playing out. The only way I...
