Feats of Strength 💙 Trauma Healing @featsofstrength.bsky.social · 06/05/2025
Trauma conditioning is autopilot for self-cruelty & self-destruction. Its taking us on a trip where we don’t wanna go. I choose recovery, however slow & imperfect, b/c I want a life reflecting my values. I take committed actions to realize my values in the world. With self-care, I persist. #cptsd

Feats of Strength 💙 Trauma Healing @featsofstrength.bsky.social · 11/04/2025
Survivors of childhood trauma will often carry such a deep sense of inadequacy that no success will make us reconsider our defectiveness. Wins are always minimized, compliments feel dirty. It’s not a question of trying harder, it’s a matter of learning to be kind to ourselves, root to stem. #cptsd

Neither the last name on your birth certificate nor the DNA embedded in your cells "doom" you to be like "them." Those might be markers of specific vulnerabilities-- but absolutely not signposts of destiny.
