Also, FINALLY, some of the dialogue options in the #Taliesin mod for #Skyrim are triggering properly so I got to get my heart ripped out of my chest as Tal recalls what REALLY happened at the Hidden Shrine of Talos in Falkreath Hold. #TraumaResponses #FightFlightOrFreeze

For many neurodivergent people, triggers overwhelm the nervous system long before words or boundaries are accessible.

I am constantly seeing parts of me that were shaped by my trauma. My personal relationships and my weight issues are the two biggest issues I am still struggling with. #TraumaResponses

Emotion as motion = Allow emotions to move through you.

If you walk away from every conversation feeling exhausted, attacked, judged, and/or misunderstood, I’m eventually going to ask you why you keep conversing with them at all.

Me: absolutely dying inside
Also me: “No worries at all!” 🙃

Such an important part of trauma healing. When you heal, drama and BS are no longer not appealing, but a red flag instead. Healing means seeking peace.

 Trauma lives in the body. Hospital visits remind me every time.

Taking up space isn’t selfish — it’s survival.

Newsflash: PTSD does not have to be a permanent diagnosis. UNHEALED trauma has these symptoms. Don’t believe the BS that once there’s trauma that these are permanent or worse, part of your personality. These are symptoms and symptoms can be treated.

Resentment is simply non-communicated pain.

I’m not condoning their behavior, but eventually I am going to ask why they still have access to you to treat you that way?

How do you cope when you find yourself here?

Gone through very #significant #changes last week. #Traumaresponses have been without the #repetetive #copingsystems. #healingjourney #growthroughit

Not all worry is unfounded. Sometimes we are anxious bc the F***ING world is on fire. Some anxiety is warranted, BUT we can still learn to manage it better.

Such flawed thinking and I see it all the time.

Behavioral Activation to the rescue!
