Self Compassion Challenge For Those With Illness, Complex Trauma And Child Abuse

[ms spock]

Can I catch up too?

Hello Salad,

the next Self Compassion Challenge will begin in a couple of weeks.

I have done quite a few Challenges with DharmaGirl so I kind of know what page she is on - otherwise I wouldn't have joined her up. Joining up unknown people in the middle of a Challenge won't work for me and I am running two separate Challenges at the moment. We are about to set a date for our next Mindfulness Challenge, as well, if you are interested?

I will put you top of the list for the next Challenge?

Cheers,
ms spock

Can you add me for the next one too please :)

@Cassie Connely you might find Self Compassion of assistance in your situation.

Is there another challenge coming up? I would like to start at the beginning, and I am doing so much better now. I am coming up on the one year anniversary of my brother's passing, and I'm using mindfulness to continue to be as well as possible.

@DharmaGirl I can't believe it is almost a year since your brother died. All the best to you.

I haven't run a challenge for awhile and have been thinking about doing one for awhile - but I will think on it.

Working on that, especially when I have a meltdown. I was exhausted the rest of the week last time....

Totally agree with you there, tired of people who invade my space, want to concentrate on what I want and need. And yes, sometimes it is really true that if we are in challenging situations that we completely forget that we have PTSD and then we feel guilty or angry.

But hey, this is a serious illness and we can only try our best. Sometimes it is really tough to even find a little bit of self compassion.

Thank you Ms. Spock, I'm sorry there isn't one, and you totally deserve a break from them. I'm not recovered enough to do one I don't think.

How about doing a challenge using Tara Brachs videos. I know the are fifty minutes long, give or take, but it might be worth it. I binge watch them some days. She presents the topic for the talk and she brings in psychotherapy, Buddhism, mindfulness. She's witty and easy to understand. And she teaches strategies to help with the fear body,say, or the trance of unworthiness to name just two.
What's the feelings about that???

 

[ms spock]

Sounds good @KwanYingirl! I do watch them a lot of them at times as well! I think it is a great idea.

I don't think I could do anything like that until the end of November as I have a prac coming up soon. And I have 7500 words to write in the next couple of weeks!
