Has anyone tried the cannabis oil? How do you use it?

Thank you for sharing, my trauma diary is available for you to read. My story is similar, but I left out the foster family. You will find the words when you are ready, and YES it will help to talk about it. We have nothing to hide or be ashamed of because it is our abusers who should be...

Wow Mytai, I am so proud of you! I hope the flashbacks have settled down. Your whole therapy process just took a huge move forward. Congratulations! I hope you are proud of yourself. We do not have to keep secrets anymore.

I have talked about this because of self harm habits and how it all works together. I/we are human animals and can not control our sexual responses. To understand that pleasure and pain are mixed up for me was a breakthrough! I finally understood that I am alive sexually and do enjoy it...

I have heard great things about it, but not from the actual people who have tried it. Of course my trust issues have me here asking all of you.

Has anyone tried the Brainwave Optimization treatment yet? I would appreciate hearing what it was like for you and if it was helpful or not.

I am considering trying the new Brainwave Optimization treatments. Has anyone tried this yet? Any input would be helpful and appreciated.

Wendy, I am sorry you are feeling so low. I hope you have someone that you can talk to that you trust. When I got really low I had to start medications because I could not pull out of it on my own the last time.

I have been having the same problem. It has been so hard for me because it takes a lot for me to trust and share my story. When I make a good friend she moves.

I also took self defense classes. It was triggering, but a real attack will definitely be triggering also, and we don't want to freeze then. The classes did help me feel safer overall.

I take medications, have a gym membership, and friends to vent too. Good luck finding what works for you.

I have had that also with wisky.

Welcome to the forum! Good luck with the EMDR and your healing process.

Wow! I never even considered someone would do that. I can not imagine the motivation. Whatever.

Why wouldn't you tell him? Yes, I think you need to for many, many reasons.

I wear a bite guard at night already, but bite right through them.

I have been so stressed that I have been having TMJ pain. It is crazy what stress can do!

I would call and set up an appointment for March.

I struggled until I had kids. Now their social life gives me one. Good luck! I know it is hard. I got closest friends when I least expected it.

I heard a radio, when there was no radio on to hear.

I hope your husband and son are seeing a therapist too. This situation sounds horrible to me - sorry.

Okay, but when my flashbacks were coming really often, I have no idea what triggered them either. Eventually, they just stopped coming so frequently. I can tell what triggers periods of worst symptoms.

Flashbacks do not need a trigger. You will learn your triggers with experience because they can be different for everyone.

GOOD FOR YOU!

How much I accomplish depends on WHY I am motivated. As a single woman I would have enjoyed the day off and done basically nothing. As a mom, I feel more of a need to cook, clean, teach, etc. Give yourself a break and enjoy! Don't ruin a relaxing day with guilt.
