A Judeo-Christian Guide To Healing From Complex Trauma - A JUDEO-CHRISTIAN GUIDE TO HEALING FROM COMPLEX TRAUMA (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1384246098-a-judeo-christian-guide-to-healing-from-complex?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=ValerieLynnStephens&wp_originator=q3LnP9fumIY1zN4dsOjH%2FvmmDMJP99VLWwuYQ6ybYDSE%2FQ81ZK0Kbo0fHrJEj%2FlJrCRPYg63TSq%2Fs3wzF3K%2Fvqo2MJ7706YdOzpwNR%2Bfyb06dFlFy4WyFeWUSQrWWffF Many survivors of abuse are merely re-traumatized and thus hindered in their healing process by false rhetoric preached by toxic church cultures and the current psychiatric establishment. This guide seeks to answer and clarify those conflicts and doubts which Christian disciples and survivors in recovery may experience during their journey of healing. https://www.lulu.com/shop/valerie-stephens/a-judeo-christian-guide-to-healing-from-complex-trauma/paperback/product-186z5m6z.html?page=1&pageSize=4

#Repost @understandingbpd with @use.repost ・・・ If you have BP.D, do you have experiences of creating fantasies of people you barely know to help you through difficult and distressing periods in your life? If you feel comfortable sharing, how has this coping technique helped you? How has it hurt you? Is there anything that has helped you through it? 🌿 [leaf emoji] Edit: I've been thinking about some of the comments left over whether or not this is a 'normal' thing or a BP.D thing, and I've been contemplating how we've created this distinction between 'normal' and 'BP.D'. I'm wondering if we've pathologised our behaviours so much that we tend to consider everything that's related to BP.D as 'disordered' or the opposite of 'normal'. While I respect everyone's right to self-identify in ways that feel right for them, I personally don't think we're disordered at all, which means I don't think that considering something as a common aspect of people with this diagnosis means that it's 'disordered'. When we start framing these behaviours in context of unmet needs, doesn't that just make them normal? Can we reconsider this distinction that we've created between 'BP.D' and 'normal' and how it implies that our behaviours aren't normal? 🌿 [leaf emoji] ~~ IG is super unreliable and is constantly cen$oring discussions of this diagnosis, so please sign up to my mailing list to keep in touch off of this platform, so that we don't have to rely on it! It only takes a few seconds. ✉️ [mail emoji] If you have BP.D and you'd like to work with me 1:1 for peer support sessions, please click the link in my bio or feel free to email me with any questions you have. 🌻 [sunflower emoji] Image description in comments. #BPDSupport #BPDThings #EUPD #EUPDRecovery #BPDAwareness #CPTSD #ComplexTrauma #BPDStruggles #ClusterB (at Goonellabah, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChmhH4QhVzl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Are you constantly wondering what the hell is wrong with me? Why don’t I trust people? Why do the same things keep happening over and over again? Is there something wrong with me? Why don’t I ever feel like I’m enough? HOW DO I CHANGE MY LIFE?! Then it’s time to grab your coffee, or wine, or whatever you need and curl up on the couch with these real and inspiring conversations with Teri Anderson of Digging Through Dominoes. Don’t be surprised if you see glimpses of yourself as Teri shares her very real (sometimes hard to believe) stories. From childhood neglect to abusive relationships, she’s seen her fair share of hardships and KNOWS the feelings of unworthiness, hopelessness and despair. But she fought her way through to where she is today – fighting the good fight to live a good life, learning about herself and how to love herself. More importantly, she wants to share that hope and optimism that she’s gained through enduring the hardest of times. In a world where depression and anxiety are growing, and PTSD is finally being recognized, we all need a safe place to go and be heard and understood. Digging through Dominoes is that place. It’s the place to be if you’ve experienced any sort of mental, physical or emotional trauma. It’s a safe haven that welcomes you in, but isn’t afraid to talk about what hurts the most. The stories may be hard but...

I had adopted the dandelion as a symbol for myself before I ever knew about this. Now I find it even more appropriate.

Many adults that experience emotional pain have choices like; drugs, alcohol, therapy, exercise, sex, even friends to call to escape the pain, children do not! While these things won't heal the trauma, they at least separate us from the source. Children don't have that luxury. Not giving or getting a child this kind of help is a form of NEGLECT. #neglect #TraumaSurvivor #Memoir #abusesurvivor #complextrauma

When you’re reminded of a traumatic experience, your amygdala goes into overdrive, acting as though you were experiencing the trauma for the first time. The prefrontal cortex becomes suppressed, so you’re less capable of controlling your fear and then you become stuck in a purely reactive state. This is what makes it hard to process thoughts and emotions when triggered/activated. It also leads to reduced activity in the hippocampus, which functions to tell the difference between past and present, so your brain can’t tell the difference between the actual traumatic event and the memory of it.

When our brains experience trauma, they aren't able to integrate sensations/feelings/thoughts in the way they can when we are safe and stable. When trauma occurs regularly (particularly when we are young), this disintegrated way of being can become our default, leading to more and more dissociated experiences or dissociated aspects of self. ⁠

⁠

We tend to think healing should look like "getting rid of the dissociation," but, like most not-actually-helpful ways of coping, it has a purpose and a role in survival. In my training and in my personal therapy, I've learned to honor #dissociation, listen to what it's speaking, and grow a capacity to coax dissociated elements into conversation, both within myself and on behalf of others. ⁠

⁠

Gonna put a plug-in for @theseattleschool (which offers a counseling master's with a trauma concentration) and @allendercenter (which offers certificates in working with #complextrauma for #mentalhealth professionals and training for other humans who want to work competently with individuals with trauma). Both organizations have deeply informed my personal and professional growth, and both are ONLINE! Until recently, The Seattle School has never offered its curriculum online, and I'm very excited about it! It's not too late to apply- and for many folks, a GRE is not required for admission. ⁠
