Being so new to cptsd treatment can be very confusing for me. Heres a few things that affect me daily.
I suffer from crippling toxic shame. The type of shame that stops me mid sentence. My body floods with adrenaline and my face gets purple. At times, especially recently, I almost pass out. My shame is almost always sexual in nature. I have a sexual thought and BANG! The other severe reaction is when I am speaking to a large group or I view myself from someone else's perspective.
As I'm researching and working with a therapist im running into so many new theories and practices that its making my head spin. So far I've got:
Inner Critic
Inner Children
Integrated family systems
Reparenting
Emotional Flashbacks
Attachment styles
I mean I could go on and on. The bottom line is that I am willing to do anything not to feel this level of shame anymore and I need help.
I guess what I'm asking is...
What is the most productive means by which you've addressed your shame?
