Hold your hopelessness gently. Don't judge it, don't deny it or disown it-- & don't believe everything it tells you. Your hopelessness is evidence of your post traumatic injury, not a reliable guide to what is & isn't possible in reality. It's a symptom, in need of care.

When we're triggered, it's easy to fall down the rabbit hole of "I shouldn't be like this." I get it, struggling sucks. But that "should" is BS (a Belief System-- also bullsh*t). It's your bullies & abusers in your head kicking you. Register that "should" for what it is: sh*t.

Remember today that people calling you "oversensitive" has zero to do w/ reality-- it's 100% them trying to control you by evoking shame. 100%. People are as sensitive as they are. Slapping an arbitrary label on it is a control move, not a valid judgment. Remember.

Trauma tries to leverage our pain to distract us from our goals. It's hard enough for humans to set goals & stay focused them, but CPTSD inserts harsh inner criticism & dissociation into the equation. That's what we're up against. It's figure-outable, but it's heavy.

The fact that CPTSD survivors often feel drained or depressed after social situations-- no matter who we've been hanging out with-- doesn't necessarily mean we hate people or being social. Masking & managing our keyed up nervous system & inner critic just gets exhausting.

Something I didn't anticipate when we moved into a forest: raindrops hitting leaves and dripping down from leaf to leaf amplifies the sound of rainfall dramatically, even if the rain is quite light. It's magical, and with everything else quiet outside it's truly lovely to experience.

We wear our psychological or emotional or behavioral "masks" for as long as we need to. No shame. We didn't take them off before because we didn't have the safety or support to. Now we're developing both, day by day. The mask isn't shameful. It's an artifact of our pain.

The rules that were drilled into your head were fake. Arbitrary. Made up, often by abusers & bullies looking to control you, body, mind, & soul. Notable among the bullsh*t are the rules for when you're "allowed" to be happy or who you're "allowed" to be.

It can be hard for CPTSD survivors who never had the safety or support to really develop our identity to take that project on as adults. Starting from scratch is intimidating. Begin by making a big list of things you like, that light you up (even a little), & looking for themes.

Survivors working their trauma recovery have had to think about more philosophy, more psychology, & more physiology than most normies will in a lifetime-- & that can create a conversational disconnect that can feel awkward & surreal. Caterpillars don't speak butterfly.

Easy does it. Your main goal today is make it through-- & many people aren't going to understand how hard that is. Don't get up in your head about them. Breathe, blink, & focus, one minute at a time. There are more survivors doing life minute by minute today than you think.

It is okay to start over. Not only is it okay, it's a necessary part of recovery. We're going to have sh*t days, where the only thing to do is hit "reset" & try again. It doesn't mean we're f*cked or a failure. Our "best" is going to look different day to day. Easy does it.

If we’re serious about decreasing our vulnerability to trauma responses, we’ve gotta give up this BS (Belief System) that we “need” to understand them, or that they “need” to have a clear connection to our trauma history to be “legitimate.”

The aftereffects of abuse, neglect, & other trauma don’t just distort our thinking or hurt our feelings— they get hard wired into the physical cells & reflexes of our body. It's why physical movement and soothing is so central to CPTSD recovery.

If our nervous system or "parts" get reactive to a trigger we can’t quite put our finger on, or we can’t quite understand how it’s related to anything we’ve experienced, our job is to not deny, disown, or belittle that reaction— but to get curious & cautious.

Important skills in Stage One trauma work are containment & pacing. “Containment” is learning to intentionally, intelligently compartmentalize memories & feelings until we’re ready to deal with them; “pacing” is tapping the brake & only doing the work we can realistically manage.

Many people who get into trauma recovery are frustrated to learn that we can’t just jump right into confronting or working through our traumatic memories and feelings— but we first have to develop what I call cognitive & emotional “cardio” for the fight ahead.

So you didn't love that feeling or reaction you just had. Sh*t happens. You don't need to punish yourself to make it "right." Hacking on yourself might provide some immediate relief-- maybe-- but in the end makes you more (& more, & more) vulnerable to reactivity. Resist.

Feeling misunderstood or unfairly treated-- especially unfairly rejected-- by others can be an electric trigger for many survivors, that can pull for a strong "fawn" response or dissociative reaction (or both). Staying w/ ourselves in those moments is not easy-- but crucial.

It is not your fault you didn't have the safety & support you needed to develop realistic tools to manage how you feel & what you do. They're going to make you feel like it is, but it's not. You literally couldn't have generated support & safety alone, even if you'd wanted to.

There is no one-size-fits-all toolbox for flashbacks-- but any realistic strategy has to assure our "parts" & nervous system that we are here for them, we're not going anywhere, they're not in trouble, & we will not leave them "back there" in the past.

Self talk is an especially important tool when we're hit w/ flashbacks. The middle & right hemisphere of our brain are melting down, & we need to activate that front & left hemisphere w/language to get neural "coolant" flowing. Don't panic. Start talking yourself through.
