Understand AI use at MyPTSD: all AI use is explained in our AI help page. AI use is by choice here. It exists if you want it, but does nothing unless you choose to use it.
He would probably responded with understanding. I've even told him about some really taboo stuff that I was experiencing at one time in my life, and he was empathetic and didn't jump to any conclusions. So part of me is like "Why am I so scared to tell him I simply miss him. For all I know, he...
I get what both of you are saying. I guess I have a high need for connection due to medical trauma as an infant. I feel like I could open up about that to one of my high school friends. Although the thought still feels scary. It's less to do with him, and more to do with the fact that the trauma...
I struggle a lot with keeping up with my friends. The problem is, I feel like every friend I have matters. Even former friends but I'll leave that for another post.
I'd say I connect with 1 of my friends quite regularly. We we're in political activism together, and we're both into audio. But...
That's great! I'm doing intuitive eating myself. But I say whatever motivates you/works for you is great. I don't believe in the idea that there's one way of eating for everyone. Good luck!!
Yes!!! This is what I was trying to convay, but you stated it so much better than me. To me it's not an either or issue. But what you say about the adult part steping in and co-regulating makes perfect sense. To give folks here some context to my OP. I'm a youth liberationist. I guess I'm trying...
I can relate to this at least somewhat. My reasons for developing my lack of connection to others are very different from yours. I felt a vial between myself and others before I entered therapy. It was like the others were just beyond reach. I would interact with people, but deep down feel the...

For my cat. Lisa you are amazing!!!
For my friends - as someone else said in the thread I can pick up the phone and call them
For the beautiful days I've been blessed with this summer.
For meeting my...
I had a very interesting experience today. I was in the kitchen with my attendant. We were discussing what I wanted for breakfast. I wanted a Joe's Special. My attendant is not from the U.S. She told me this would be too hard for her to cook. I found myself in my child part of myself. But not...
I'll have to think about this. You've given me much food for thought. I've always thought of my numbing/emotionlessnes as related to trauma from my pre-mature birth. The modality of therapy I was in was the only modality I could find that acknowleged the trauma that pre-term infants went though...
Hi All,
I'm new here I'm autistic and read the constitution. I'll have to give it another read. It makes me uncomfortable that this place is a growth centered place. However, I was in a therapy approach that was growth centered in dealing with trauma. I have learned to stay grounded in fact...
