    Childhood Other people, society's reaction to childhood trauma survivors...

    Whether others forgive you or not... It may be good to remind yourself that you are human, and you have a need to be known and accepted for who you are, just like every other human on this planet. I know for myself, when someone is vulnerable enough with me to share their painful experiences...

    Hi, i.swear.i'm.trying. I'm sorry you were abused, and I'm sorry you have PTSD. I'm glad you're reaching-out for help, though. Flashbacks are common with PTSD. Every flashback is triggered by something. However, the trigger is often difficult to identify. So, the flashbacks may feel like...

    Having trouble doing anything today...

    What Is On Your Mind Right This Second?

    Been there. Done that. FYI: If you're having a difficult time getting the knots out, I've had luck using olive oil or peanut butter. I start putting it on the hair just above the knot, and work my way slowly down. Oh, and start with the knots closest to the end of the hair shafts, and work...

    Prayer Requests

    Miscarriage is heartbreaking. I was in denial during mine, even though the evidence was overwhelming, and my doctor kept explaining it was really happening. I pray that the Lord guides this young woman gently through whatever may lie before her, making His loving presence known to her.

    Sufferer Recently diagnosed PTSD and struggling

    Hi, bluedreamdaydream. I have felt and/or am feeling every feeling you're describing. Childhood sexual abuse really messes with our minds and lives. I'm so sorry you had to go through it, too. I hope this helps you: Why did it happen? Because your father (and I use that term loosely) is an...

    Relationship My partner has CPTSD and I struggle with handling it well

    Is she in therapy to deal with her traumas? If she is then there is a better chance that she will gradually, over a long period of time become more open to you. If not, well, who knows. I wish you and your girlfriend all the best. Life is hard. It's better when we can love and support...

    I'm sorry you feel the weight of everything pulling you down. I know the feeling all too well. Unfortunately, I don't know of a reliable solution. If your body will allow you to sleep, maybe give it a try. Sending you tranquility, peace, and a feather-light heart. ?

    Have you ever talked to your therapist about specific triggers...

    Hi, oakleaves. Have you considered maybe broaching the subject by telling your therapist that you want to discuss something, but that you are uncomfortable doing so because "______." List every reason why it's difficult for you. When I do this, my psychologist is able to help combat those...

    Going to discuss something I'm really ashamed about

    Laying the groundwork is good. There is nothing wrong with taking baby-steps. You are moving in a positive direction. Shame binds us in a prison where we don't belong. I'm sending you thoughts of strength and peace to confide in your therapist, and break free from the shackles of shame...
