“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” Nope. Studies show that stressful experiences neither make us stronger nor create resilience. The opposite is actually true. We like this quote better:

Society can put so much pressure on #trauma survivors to remain close with people who don’t respect us (“family is everything!” etc), but that puts more burden on us than it does the people who’ve harmed us. The reality is that we deserve safety, peace, and joy above all.

A lot of Gen X survivors are stuck caring for the very people who caused their trauma—or stood by and did nothing: Their aging parents. Let’s talk about why this hits so hard. #genx

There's a difference between laziness and executive dysfunction. If you were really being lazy, you'd be having a nice time. You wouldn't be wracked with guilt, stress, shame, panic.

A lot of trauma survivors carry this quiet sense that we won’t live long lives. Sometimes there’s even a specific age—21, 27, 50—we don’t think we’ll make it past. Psychology explains why:

For anyone feeling triggered, confused, or cracked wide open by the #Diddy trial this week: You're not overreacting. You're not making it about you. Your body remembers what it means when abuse hides in plain sight.

You’re scrolling. You glance at the sink. Just two plates. Your chest gets tight. You tell yourself: “I’ll do it in one more minute.” Then 45 minutes pass— This is what shutdown can look like. You’re not failing. You’re in freeze.

Rewatching your comfort show for the 9th time? Your nervous system is choosing predictability. Novelty = risk. Familiarity = safety. When you're flooded—by stress, grief, burnout—your body doesn't want plot twists. It wants emotional certainty. #trauma

There’s a saying amongst people who work in trauma that anger is the part of you that loves yourself the most. Anger surfaces when we've been neglected or mistreated. It makes it clear that we don’t need to be considerate in spaces we aren’t considered. #trauma

A classic toxic parent move is dishing out a "well I guess I'm just the worst mom/dad ever" instead of an apology. A huge part of breaking the cycle for a lot of us is learning how to apologize genuinely and teaching our own kids to do the same.

After #trauma, our brains and bodies often get stuck in Survival Mode. A few signs that this might be what's going on with you: you feel like you're on high alert, #anxious, easily #triggered, numb, or disconnected.

"Avoidance maintains fear." Brilliant words from psychologist Lilly Jay in an article for @thecut.com that ring true for #trauma survivors at large. #mentalhealth #cptsd #ptsd

Siblings in #toxic families often end up at odds with each other. Growing up with #abusive parents is like being on a sinking ship, but instead of blaming the captain (parents), the siblings are bailing water and arguing over who caused the leak, or just trying to stay afloat.

So many of us who had toxic childhoods get told that our parents "didn't know any better." But if those parents didn't act that same way with everyone else, lied about their behavior, or tried to hide it—they knew better. They were just abusive.

A lot of #trauma survivors don't think they'll live that long, or have a specific age they think they'll die by (i.e., 21 or 35). We can lose trust in the future or feel like we're too broken to live a "normal" life. #cptsd #ptsd

A lot of #trauma survivors struggle to get our drivers licenses. Why? 1. We don't trust others—or ourselves—behind the wheel. 2. Many of us don't think we'll live long lives, so we don't plan for the future (called a Sense of a Foreshortened Future). 3. We never had anyone to teach us. #cptsd #ptsd
