I meant to post about this for the Blue Castle Book Club but kept forgetting, I hope it's not too late now, if it is then nothing can be done, but anyway. So Idk how realistic Valancy's true diagnosis is, but I think we can say that her health condition was the result of her living the kind of life she was living. Hence why once she started living the life she wanted, she healed. It's true for those colds she didn't suffer from in winter anymore and it can be true for her heart. Stress-related illnesses are very much a thing, if TBC ever gets adapted, I think this is how they should play it.
Also I've just watched this video, which made me remember to post about this.

Dr. Gabor Maté, A Jewish Holocaust Survivor And Trauma-Informed Physician: I’ve never seen anything so publicly committed, such atrocities perpetrated on TV, and the victims are presented as the perpetrators. And this obscene, vicious spectacle we’re subjected to is either supported or condoned by the major media and all the politicians. #Gaza #Genocide

Jewish and Israeli Voices Promoting Peace in Homeland
On October 7, 2023, all of my sympathy was with Israel. I was aware of the history and did not agree with the apartheid and keeping Gazans locked in a prison. And yet, I did not agree with Hamas doing what they did. I read every story of every person impacted and I hugged my computer and cried. But I was not filled with hate. I am never filled with hate. I believe in  the underlying goodness of…

Jewish doctor speaks out on Israel and Palestine
Via Independent Catholic News
In this reflection for the Your Inner Child website, Dr Gabor Mate, Hungarian-Canadian physician and author describes his own life experience and expresses his view on the situation in Israel and Palestine. The video follows the transcription below:
"I'm personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Auschwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Auschwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn't exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.
"There's no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that's what's called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There's a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you're not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it's at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.
"I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it's much worse than it was then.
"It's the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can't even visit!
"So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don't have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that's a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.
"And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

How to BECOME a BETTER PARENT:  Positive vs. Toxic Parenting Tips I Dr Gabor Maté
“Parenting is not a role. The most important thing is relationship. Without understanding relationship, any plan of action will only breed conflict.
...Yeah, you’re not permissive but you’re also not demanding that the child suppress their feelings in order to be in your presence. You can go through these states, it’s okay, they’ll pass. And this is how self-regulation happens. Not by ‘you mustn’t yell, you mustn’t cry,’ you know what I’m saying, this kind of punitive and accusatory stuff.
The greatest gift a parent can give to their child is his or her own happiness.”

it used to be hard. to witness people carry out friendships. to feel on the outside, jealous.
then, it became simple. you feed the good parts of yourself and friends come to you. there's the formula. you work hard, play fair, be kind. okay, okay, so now it's simple.
tiring but simple.
then you reach the wall.
the beautiful stonemasonry of all those cold, scared parts of yourself. they rebuilt it so beautifully from ruins, from a blasted war torn landscape.
but you know, in there they still feel trapped. suffocated.
they need air.
it's just that you can't afford to fail them again. what if you coax them into undoing the wall and someone leaps out, guns blazing...what if what if...
friendship levels still feel locked. behind a paywall and you have no money for frivolity.
if it's not your wall getting in the way...it's the next person over. cold, smooth stone where a friend should be.
and you can't push past or beg to get into their fortress. by keeping you out they tell you all you need to know.
so a few more times, even though you know better, you allow in those intrusive guests, the ones who have no problem barreling through, knocking over your carefully thought out barriers. at least now you have control. you know this routine. and at least it's not your fault. the way it would be otherwise.
you let them ravage whatever they like. you numb yourself with lies, that this is better than loneliness, that maybe You're Helping them and that makes this pain Worth It.
that's what this relational world is like, with cPTSD. that's what addiction is like.
I don't know the way forward. besides vulnerability. besides assuming the risk and responsibility of answering, of being prepared to fight and to defend your own vulnerabilities but not lock them away or use them as bait. to relate to them as beloved children.
it's hard. but we can do it, I think. I think we have to.

Every time I listen to child psychologist explain that the first three years of your life as a baby are the most important and impactful even beyond the rest of your childhood it really destroys me because I just know from birth till I was 3 were the years my mom had cancer and was dying and like just the fact it's been studied and proven that it impacted me more because of the timeline than if it had happened even starting at age 4 with the same sadness is wild like what are the chances the exact first 3 years would have been when that all happened
And I was listening to dr gabor mate also talk about trauma adaptions we do to survive and how it's so hard to depart from them even when they no longer serve us and even hurt us and it makes me think of how much I can't for the life of me remember things like the second things become painful it feels almost impossible for me to hold them in my mind so most of my life is a blur for me specifically because my brain and body did that FOR me to protect me as a child from the full impact of the trauma I was experiencing and now I can't turn it off even when I'm safe
It's just so liberating at the same time to realize what's I've been through and why I am the way I am especially because to move forward and heal I know I have to forgive myself and stop blaming myself for what I did to survive or else I can't take responsibility for my recovery right now
Just a truly beautiful thing to be alive! Even with the pain there's so much joy and complexity, it feels natural and true
