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

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.

Our lives during childhood very much affect our lives as adults. Understanding how this came about is critical to our recovery. Stay strong and always look for ways to improve ourselves and find peace.

The most important thing I learned in the military is that your fellow sailors (Navy Veteran here) had your back. Trans or no-trans. It's about character, meeting physical standards, and the desire to fight for your country that matters most.

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” - Maya Angelou I hope this quote brings you comfort.

Proud of you, Chris – not an easy feat. Stories like yours are exactly why it meant a lot to pass the ACA.

You working your recovery every day w/ authenticity & self-compassion adds something to the world that your bullies & abusers never could. You staying alive & working your recovery positively impacts people you don't know in ways you don't know. That's real.

I thought "Silver Linings Playbook" did a great job depicting bipolar disorder. "Beautiful Mind" was absolutely phenomenal--one of my favorite movies.
