Hi Everybody! =)
I am Vynne, 23 years old and new here on the forum. (Well sort of, I was already reading for a little more then a year). I registered today, because I want to participate more.
About me then; I'm a woman (but like to think of myself as a girl still), from the Netherlands. I survived sexual child abuse between the ages of 4 and 8. Also the situation at my home was very complex. My sister has autism, my dad's a workaholic and my mom embraced the bottle.
During my life a lot of bad things happened, besides the main trauma and I didn't feel heard and seen by the people around me, so I developed Complex PTSD. I'm having treatment, but except for a stabilization training (which was really great) it didn't work out for me, because the therapist was specialized more in personality disorders then PTSD. I'm starting with a new one now; This one is specialized in trauma and PTSD and I feel good with her already, because she seems to see trough me and really understands me instead of me needing to defend myself about the way I am, although I don't even understand me myself some days.
Well, lots of things are moving and I thought this was a good time to actively join the forum.
Other things about myself: I like reading, writing, movies, swimming, running, walking, arts, history, psychology, cooking, traveling and theatre and I have a 2,5 year old daughter (who is the love of my life)
I hope I told enough about myself for now.
See you guys around!
