🟣 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Too often, people think of domestic violence only in terms of bruises and broken bones. But narcissistic abuse is domestic violence—it’s coercive control, manipulation, and silencing.

I saw a news story about AI leading to a rise in complaints since they're quicker and easier to write with AI. As someone who responds to complaints in my job, it doesn't bother me since we use AI to reply to them all anyway.

Feats of Strength 💙 Trauma Healing @featsofstrength.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Recovery for survivors often means looking beyond crisis moments to our self-beliefs, many of which are trauma-adaptations & needlessly cruel. Passive suicide ideation is far from "passive" – its state of distress that deserves our attention, compassion, and curiosity. #cptsd #NAMI #recovery

Passive suicidal ideation is so common in trauma survivors that many don't bother to even mention it when they're being assessed— it's just always there.

It becomes like the barely noticeable background music in a TV show.

In trauma recovery we train ourselves to let go of hypervigilance-- not because it's "stupid," but because it's an inefficient tool if our actual goal is safety. Hypervigilance exhausts us without really moving the needle on safety. It's a security blanket w/ holes in it.

as so often, Terry Pratchett had it nailed.

Death and Susan talking in Hogfather by Terry Pratchett

NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

"So we can believe the big ones?"

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

"They're not the same at all!"

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET— Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME... SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

"But people have got to believe that, or what's the point?"

MY POINT EXACTLY.

CPTSD - They call it disorder, that’s false. It’s not a post traumatic stress either. Complex Trauma - begins in childhood and in most cases never ends. The damage it does is that we normalize abuse and chaos since we never knew the difference. That’s why we let it continue and walk into our lives.

One of the hardest parts of CPTSD recovery can be accepting that we were tricked. Lied to. Forced to adopt beliefs about ourselves that were wrong, often by the very people who were supposed to teach us what was true & real. That stings. We don't get over that all at once.

Self compassion is not "nice to have" in realistic trauma recovery, or an abstract, aspirational idea-- it is a fundamental tool. The beliefs & attitudinal lens through which we understand & respond to ourselves affects all our feelings & decisions. It matters.

The key to being realistically less afraid on a day to day basis is reminding ourselves of our absolute commitment to staying present, having our own back, being on our own side. No "hack" is ever going to replace showing up for ourselves w/ compassion & consistency.

Trauma recovery that isn't realistic & sustainable isn't recovery. Start w/ extremely small habits. Avoid changing too much at once. Build slowly, not intensely, & focus on the basics of how you're talking & relating to yourself today, in this minute. Keep it real.

It's perfectly okay to hate how we feel & choices we've made. Of course we've going to, these feelings & those choices suck. But in realistic trauma recovery we need to distinguish, consistently & intentionally, our conditioned feelings & choices from our essence. WE do not suck.
