‘They’re selling everything as trauma’: how our emotional pain became a product | Katherine Rowland In an economy that rewards confession and self-labeling, pain is no longer something to survive – but something to brand, sell, and curate

Let me ask you this……….

A reminder that healing begins with your attitude, not your surroundings

ranting: I felt helpless, powerless, unwanted, unheard, alone. I ranted, I raved, I cried, I complained, I dumped. I blocked. and an amazing thing happened. no more trying to prove the validity of my pain, the validity of my suffering, the validity of my goodness, the validity of my existence. [close up of cactus background]

ranting: I get to just exist, to take up space, unapologetically. I get to control my life, my autonomy returned, my agency renewed. and I get to just DECIDE who is invited in or out. liars are not. manipulators are not. haters are not. enablers are not. narcissists are not. mean girls are not. i. feel. free. [close up of cactus background]

helpless. #words #thoughts #traumatok #trauma #traumahealing #helpless #powerless #boundaries

Meanwhile I do not see any of my abusers suffering consequences from the torture, the räpe, all the horrible things that they did, and so I don't find it a helpful thing to say to me as a survivor, and I wish people wouldn't say it. #cultsurvivor #traumahealing #traumatok

Of course it is up for everyone to decide for themselves, but as a child sexuàl abuse survivor I will not read her work. #alicemunro #booktok #csasurvivor #traumatok

They were still setting off fireworks at 1:30 am and I had so much trouble sleeping even though I told myself I was safe and did nervous system regulation techniques. So I am very tired and trying to be gentle with myself. I hope you're gentle with yourself, too. #cultsurvivor #traumatok

having some hot chocolate, escaping into a good book or a movie or a show, thinking about kind warm women who've given me some of that Mom comfort or love. Maybe some of those things will help you, too. #mothersday #cultsurvivor #traumatok #traumahealing #csasurvivor

and I get so frustrated with myself; why can't I just plan more in a day? but I need those breaks for my mental health and it is a way to take care and still write what I need to write. I hope you can also be gentle with yourself when you need to. #yaauthor #cultsurvivor #traumatok

which is insensitive and victim blaming and I've had said to me so many times by technicians. It would help so much to have trauma informed medical staff and also compassion instead of coldness. #cultsurvivor #traumatok #mentalhealth #ssam

Please don't ever say that to a survivor. It was very triggering. #cultsurvivor #traumatok

I hope that you have someone in your life who can show you that too if you didn't have good parents or if you went through abuse and torture like I did or were abused. #cultsurvivor #traumatok #traumahealing #reparenting

and I'm not always in the space where I can, either. I don't understand trying to intentionally set off trauma and pain in someone else, trying to be mean or cruel to someone. #traumatok #traumahealing #cultsurvivor

Now I am grateful to be alive, older than I ever thought I would be, with books published that help others, being able to talk about the abuse and trauma. #cultsurvivor #childhoodtorturesurvivor #traumatok #traumahealing

I wish that teachers and other adults had seen the signs, cared & intervened. On its own not smiling or laughing isn't enough but combined with all the other signs it was glaring. #cultsurvivor #childhoodtorturesurvivor #traumatok #traumahealing

I wouldn't have had connections with other people, shows and family, and so much more happiness than I ever had even though I still deal with depression and other effects from the trauma. I am glad to be here. What are you grateful for? #cultsurvivor #traumatok #traumahealing #mentalhealth

This morning I thought the retired English teacher was saying he was sick of me but he wasn't saying that at all, and I'm so glad I checked it out with him. I hope you can check it out too. #neurodivergent #traumatok #traumahealing

That I would always choose to be the opposite of them. I try to always come from a place of compassion. #childhoodtorturesurvivor #cultsurvivor #traumatok #childhoodtorturesurvivorhealing

Later I was able to step back and think how I would feel about someone else who'd gone through the torture and abuse I'd gone through and had the same response. I would only feel compassion and empathy, so I was able to give some to me too. #traumahealing #traumatok #mentalhealth

three things that you can hear, two things that you can smell, and one thing that you can taste. It really does help bring you back into the present. #healingtechnique #traumahealing #traumatok #grounding

and was not our responsibility. I hope that you can let that go and forgive yourself. it's an important part of healing. #traumatok #traumahealing #csasurvivor #childhoodtorturesurvivor

I'm grateful for those connections. I hope that you can do that, too, that you can reach out to people who you care about and just feel connection and love, and know that you're loved. #chosenfamily #queertok #abusesurvivor #traumatok #2slgbtqiaplus friendsarefamily
