PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is a serious mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It goes beyond temporary stress and can significantly affect daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being.

Common symptoms may include:
• Intrusive memories or flashbacks
• Nightmares or sleep disturbances
• Hypervigilance or feeling constantly on edge
• Avoidance of trauma reminders
• Emotional numbness or detachment
• Irritability, anxiety, or mood changes

Important to know: Feeling distressed after trauma is normal. When symptoms persist for months or interfere with daily life, clinical support may be needed.

Education reduces stigma. Awareness opens the door to healing.

Resistance isn’t a stop sign — it’s information.
Fear doesn’t always mean “don’t move.” Sometimes it’s an invitation to pause, listen, and understand what’s really coming up.

Not every uncomfortable feeling is a warning, and not every anxious thought is intuition. When resistance shows up, check in emotionally and physically, gather the data, and then decide how to move forward — with intention, not impulse.

Intrusive thoughts are often misunderstood — trends like “letting my intrusive thoughts win” spread misinformation, and using the term to describe everyday urges or impulses only adds to the confusion.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧠 Genuine intrusive thoughts are unwanted and can feel strange, disturbing, or even frightening — and they’re actually very common. When these thoughts cause intense distress or lead to compulsive behaviors or repetitive thinking, they may be linked to conditions such as OCD (and in some cases, PTSD).

💬 Do intrusive thoughts ever show up for you?

Confidence comes from within.
Less validation. More alignment.
Trust yourself — and practice it daily.

“Glass Child” isn’t a diagnosis — but for many, it’s a lived experience.

It describes the child who grew up beside a sibling whose needs were louder, heavier, more urgent.
Not because parents didn’t care — but because care had to go where survival demanded it.

So you learned to be quiet.
Self-sufficient.
Easy.
Invisible.

You didn’t want to be a burden.
You didn’t want to add stress.
You learned early that love sometimes came after responsibility.

And now, as an adult, it shows up in ways you can’t always explain:

⭕️ Growing up too fast
⭕️ Carrying responsibilities that weren’t yours
⭕️ Feeling unseen or emotionally overlooked
⭕️ Hyper-independence that masks loneliness
⭕️ Perfectionism rooted in earning love
⭕️ People-pleasing instead of asking for help
⭕️ Guilt for wanting more — or for succeeding

None of this means you were weak.
It means you adapted.

If this touched something tender in you, you’re not alone — and you were never “too much.”

Does this resonate with you?

Integration doesn’t happen through insight alone.
It happens when the body feels safe in relationship.

Your nervous system matters.
Goals fail when the body feels unsafe.
Choose fewer, value-driven goals that support you emotionally and physically — that’s sustainable success.
