It's terrifying to step outside yourself and look critically at what you do daily—finding dozens of problematic habits and the feeling of cluelessness on where to start.. Pick one you know can be handled, and don't look back at all the others.. You can take one and, without knowing, transform many.

Don’t “Get over it!” Get inside of it. Get to the heart of it. Get through it. Your painful story is not some hurdle to jump over. It’s not a pole to vault. It’s a lived experience that longs for your attention. It’s a trauma that awaits your compassion. It’s an embodied truth that demands to be expressed. So next time someone tells you to “get over it”, just say NO. And then tell them to “get over” their need to trivialize other people’s challenges. Ask them to look deeply at how this repressive mantra has prevented them from healing their own wounds. They are unlikely to know, but the seed you plant may well yield fruits when the moment is ripe.

EXPLORING ANGER WITHIN CPTSD

In this post, I want to explore the topic of anger in survivors who are suffering from Complex PTSD. I am counting myself into this category because like so many abuse and trauma survivors out there, I developed Complex PTSD. I have come a long way in my healing journey, and what I have discovered during therapy is that no feeling is wrong. Feelings just are.

Everyone has feelings. They allow us to make sense of the world around us. If we are hurt, our feelings will become more intense, and we will react in a certain way. Whatever we feel is our own unique interpretation of that situation or situation. The more we experience, the more reactions we may have. Feelings depend on our character and how we deal with what is happening.

A life full of trauma and sexual abuse will definitely cause some kind of reaction and everybody with such experiences has these reactions. Even the people who seemingly have “no reactions and no feelings” are showing a freeze reaction to their individual experiences. Sometimes, as survivors, we feel “too much,” and our feelings become so intense that we cannot handle them, and we go into an emotional “shut down.”
