Wir wünschen euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche!

Empathie hat kein Skript. Es gibt kein Richtig oder Falsch. Es geht darum, zuzuhören, den Raum zu halten, nicht zu urteilen, sich emotional zu verbinden und die unglaublich heilsame Botschaft zu vermitteln:
„Du bist nicht allein.“
-Brené Brown

⚠️ Potential trigger ⚠️

💜 I agree with this. However, trauma does hurt. And we do get traumatised!
I’m not minimising trauma here, I know trauma too.

Let’s say a child of 2 falls over, and someone’s there to pick her up, clean her knees, hands and wipe her tears, she learns that she’s safe.

The next time she falls she gets the same help and support.

She falls again and this time she manages to wipe her own tears.
This is care and resilience.

Now, a child who’s going through the same. Falling over, no support, no comfort, no acknowledgment nothing. She learns at 2 (breaks my heart) to pick herself up, wipe her own tears.
S/he learns no one is there, no one cares, she’s on her own in the world.

This was me, and many many other survivors. 💜

For me, I learned to minimise, detach, then dissociate and I created ‘mummy’ in my head, to help me, remembering I’m still 2!
This is how my dissociation started.

The abuse I endured was from birth to 15. Physical, sexual, emotional neglectful. This is not poor me post, this is factual of a child growing up with no support or kindness.
I have DID, I have a internal system my forever inside family. There’s no such thing as integration. They’ll always be there perhaps less dominant and less lost time, but they’ll be forever there.
My internal family, and treasured by me and I am truly grateful that my mind at 2, started to create a safe forever family. I call them my RainbowCrewe 🌈

Dissociation is feared, it’s widely medicated and mostly ignored. Attention seeking, factitious disorder, personality disorder, borderline personality disorder etc.

NO dissociative identity disorder which of course isn’t a disorder at all, it’s a child’s survival coping mechanism caused by trauma. 💜 🌈

Repost from .mentalhealth The body is the key to the mind. You first have to calm the body’s response to trauma, shifting it from danger/alert to relaxed/controlled. Only then can you begin to recognize and process the mental and emotional aspects of the trauma.

Events are traumatic not because they are rare, but because they overwhelm our normal coping responses. Neurobiology of trauma teaches us that the body’s responses to trauma are natural responses to protect ourselves.🤍

Trauma creates disruption in the limbic system of the brain which stores emotional responses to experiences. The is the “fear center” of the brain. Trauma response & memory is stored in amygdala. This is the reason that individuals commonly have a lot of emotions when recalling traumatic experiences.

Trauma is not just defined by the event, but by the individual’s reaction to the event. Trauma responses are different for everyone and there is no right or wrong way to respond to trauma.

There are four responses that are often brought up when talking about trauma: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. Fight and flight are well-known trauma responses where the brain and body automatically respond by fighting back or fleeing a dangerous situation.

What are less commonly known are the freeze and fawn responses. Freeze refers to tonic immobility where the nervous system is activated and the person is not able to fight or flee. The fawn response is an instinctual response associated with a need to avoid conflict and trauma via appeasing behaviors. Trauma-survivors who experience freeze or fawn are often confused as to why they responded in that way, but neurobiology of trauma reminds us that all of these responses are normal and part of our brain’s and body’s survival mechanisms.

We may not be responsible for the traumatic events we have experienced and endured and we have also been left with having to navigate life managing the challenges of healing and recovering from these experiences.

Unresolved trauma has significant consequences on emotional, mental, physiological and psychological health. We may alternate between feeling cut off, and feeling flooded or overwhelmed by emotions of confusion, anger, anxiety or despair. We may suffer from anxiety or depression or chronic illness, our relationships may suffer, we may feel misunderstood, unwanted or devalued.

Healing trauma takes a lot of courage. It involves understanding what happened to your physiology and attending the wounds so you can make trauma- informed choices and slowly begin replacing adaptive behaviors that helped you survive. Healing requires a reparative experience with the right support and a compassionate witness.

You are not broken, everything in your system is working exactly as it should. With sufficient compassionate support, you will be able to safely release traumatic stress and come back in to your authentic innate Self and discover the creative and purpose filled life you are meant to be living.

If you are interested in doing this healing work on a deeper level, my 16 week Spanish and English groups programs are starting soon.

I offer free 30- minute free consultations so that you can determine if this group is for you and if I’m the person to be your compassionate and skillful ally.

i began noticing that i was slowly healing from trauma, in a few different ways. i’m not so scared of conflict anymore. it doesn’t feel like my whole world is tumbling down if i’m not agreeable, or if someone is arguing with me. nowadays i think a bit of conflict can really help clear the air and release emotions. i also used to tolerate people treating me poorly; being in friendships where i felt like i was always the punchline of jokes, i went on dates with guys who were condescending towards me, i let my boss be abusive towards me and ended every shift crying in the bathroom. i never got the opportunity to have trauma therapy because i was denied the one i applied for, and after that i felt discouraged. but i have been doing trauma work on my own without even really realizing it. i have been challenging fears and triggers with tools i learnt in CBT, i have been practicing self compassion and i have been writing thousands and thousands of words about my traumas. trauma made me desperately want to be the “cool girl”, the girl who is unbothered and untouchable, the girl who’s always down for everything and doesn’t care if people walk all over her. i tried to be that girl as a defense mechanism for a long time but I realized that i’m not that girl, and i’m not sure she really exists. i’m painfully sensitive and highly opinionated and i am not chill in the slightest haha. and that’s okay. working though my traumas through creative expression and self compassion has helped me grow a lot, but I still have work to be done. i would love to get trauma therapy in the future if i get the chance to, once the pandemic isn’t so smothering, but for now i will keep working on myself in my own pace. my next post will be about signs that you’re healing from trauma, and maybe i’ll go into some more things you can do to help yourself if you don’t have access to care right now. how has trauma affected the way you move in this world ? what do you do to cope ? 💓
