24 thoughts on ““Complex Trauma: Understanding and Treatment””
She is wonderful! This video helped me so much to understand my own trauma and the effects it has had on my life. It helps us to stop being hard on ourselves and to understand that our reactions and struggles are rooted in the trauma we have experienced. And that there are no quick fixes to healing from trauma! It is so validating and the depth of her compassion is heartwarming. Thank you for sharing this with others. You are right, this is a very important video!
Being raped and invalidated was nowhere near as painful and humiliating as 2 decades trying to ask for help already in the mental health system.
They hate you if you’re clever and they despise a fool.
Over it these days. The truth eventually outed itself and many others have empathized who knew the score. Culprits are still trying their wares and even troll here occasionally illuminating more crimes they’ve done. There is a 3rd stance for those of us participating in reality. The rhetoric of 2 philosophies presently needs the 3rd strand either way they go
I don’t fully understand all of that but I know how people hide behind professional facades and rely on their intellectual know how devoid of deeper true intelligence and empathy…. unless you have been through it you never fully understand.
Meditation helps. I started see a doctor a while ago who knows what he’s doing and actually gives something back.
Thank goodness I never stopped believing in good people because I stopped believing in myself for some time.
The universe requires good people work in community
That is so true and many bad experiences lead us to a negative view which is only a partial side of the story as well as where bad experiences alone take us. I do believe meditation is so very important. I am so glad you found that.
Cheers. I was attacked for a while as I tried to get to a safe place. We get ostracized in broad daylight. Then they make their veiled threat like drug thugs.
I have stayed clear of professionals as much as I can. I have seen what happened to two sisters at the hands of shrinks and so called ‘care’ homes. It was fucked!!

Sometimes we get it worse from what some of the idiots think is treatment

I got glandular fever after losing a head of the river by a cm. I dropped out of school and was committed at 18. I was supposed to disappear.

It sounds like a life in which you are determined not to! But being committed there must be a book in that!
