Anyone remember the days when press briefings were informative and sometimes even interesting? She looks like a salesgirl in Claires or Hot Topic. This is just so embarrassing for the US.

Trauma survivors' problems do not stem from not having "challenged" ourselves enough. We've been surviving "challenges" you can't conceive of for years. Our problems stem more from distortions & reflexes-- not "choices"-- that have been deeply conditioned in us along the way.

Proper socialism should embrace automation and AI. Many of the concerns over AI disappear if we have, as a society, ensured that we are going to try and get everyone onto a basic standard of living regardless of who they are and what they do. Sure, worst case we get Wall-E, but we can do better.

The social taboo around suicide doesn't just silence conversations. It can teach us to silence ourselves – to look away from our own painful thoughts rather than investigate them with compassion & curiosity. Self-silencing shame plays no role in self-compassionate inquiry or recovery. #cptsd

Stress is not a choice. Getting triggered is not a choice. Given a choice, nobody reading this would "choose" stress or being triggered. Our choices enter the chat once we realize & accept we're stressed or triggered-- though "just don't be stressed/triggered" isn't one of them.

You don't "gaslight yourself." Gaslighting is an abuse tactic used by people trying to f*ck with your head. You are not your abuser. You may run old patterns conditioned by your abusers, but that's not the same thing. Do not buy into a metaphor that makes you the monster.

Self care is not this touchy feely abstraction that lives on aesthetic Instagram reels. It is the foundation of realistic trauma recovery & effective leadership. Warriors prioritize self-care as foundational to victory. People who ignore or belittle it will stay stuck. Period.

Brain fog & trauma triggers can make the strongest, most brilliant person in the world feel young, confused, & scared. This happens every day to lots of survivors. You're not "failing." You don't suck. Wounds sting & injuries hurt-- even as they're healing. Grace over guilt.

Nobody reading this was given a "choice" in what to believe or how to feel about ourselves. That "choice" was made for us, by our abusers & bullies, & over time congealed into our conditioning. Recovery is self-compassionately waking up to the realistic choices we DO have, now.

In being fair & compassionate to yourself, you will not be at risk of being "too nice" to you. You won't be at risk of getting too "soft" to handle life. You're worried because you've been CONDITIONED to beat the sh*t out of yourself-- not because self-compassion is dangerous.

CPTSD conditions us to betray ourselves. Healing CPTSD means relearning to be on our own side & have our own back, even when we've been conditioned to kick the sh*t out of ourselves & lean into self-destructive "coping" patterns-- without shame or judgment for what came before.

We don't just "fawn" to abusers. That "please & appease" reflex can generalize, such that we're reacting like a puppet on a string to anyone our nervous system perceives as powerful or implicitly threatening-- regardless of how powerful or important they actually are in our life.

What emotion are you avoiding-- here, now, as you read this? That's the emotion that needs your care today. Start w/ just allowing it to exist-- no judgment, no rejection, no demand that you "handle" it "better" or "transform" it immediately. Make like a Beatle & let it be.

There is nothing you were forced to do in your past that you "deserve" to be punished for now, and there is nothing in your past that makes you "ineligible" or "unworthy" to feel & function better now. You are not The Exception.

We're conditioned to think shame is "necessary," that it "protects" us from being a "bad person"-- but the reality is, shame only punishes us. And decades of psych research confirm that punishment tends to make humans bitter, not better. Shame is not a trauma recovery tool.

The fact we sometimes do things that maintain or deepen painful circumstances in our life doesn't mean we "don't want" to recover or "like" what we're experiencing. It means we've been conditioned to do things that sabotage recovery. No shame. Acknowledging it is the first step.

Struggling w/ executive functioning-- getting started, making decisions, following through-- is an unrecognized "freeze" response for many survivors. And trauma responses are not choices. I said, trauma responses are not choices. Start w/ the smallest version of the task.

One of the most consistently helpful trauma recovery tools I've found is paying attention, hourly, to how aligned I feel. I believe recovery is ultimately about authenticity, especially in little moments. Staying real & on track means relentlessly checking in w/ ourselves.

Abuse & neglect hurt & harm us-- but they also knock us out of alignment w/ our true nature. Realistic trauma recovery isn't just about healing wounds, but getting back in touch w/ who we really are & who we were meant to be. Getting back on track w/ our authenticity & destiny.
