Ugh why did this make me cry 🥹

Drop a 🌹 if you can relate

🙏 for the potent words

A really stark statement, and a tough conversation - and often a painful truth - for those with complex PTSD.

This is a repost from , and I thought the body of her post was so important I'm sharing it below. Thank you Caroline! 🙏

"For CPTSD survivors, the worst pain often comes from being hurt by the very person they trusted enough to share their pain with. This cuts deep because opening up about trauma is incredibly vulnerable. It’s like exposing the most fragile part of yourself, hoping for understanding and support, only to be met with betrayal or disregard.

That kind of hurt doesn’t just sting; it reinforces the fear that maybe no one is truly safe, and that maybe the world will always be a place where pain is met with more pain.

It’s a brutal reminder that even in moments when we take a leap of faith and reach out, the very act of trusting can sometimes backfire in the most devastating way.

But as you continue your healing, consider that you allowed someone into your life during a low point, and that doesn’t define your worth or your journey forward.

Keep going, because your healing is about you, not them."

An important reminder to look underneath the surface. That's where compassion and healing start.

Thank you for the wise words 😊

Yeah, WHY NOT ME?!

An Olympic-sized reminder that you don't have to define yourself by your particular challenges - often it's just a matter of setting a goal and doing the work 😊

Thanks to .mentalhealth for the reminder

There's a time for recognizing that you've learned enough to rest on your experience, and a time for acknowledging that the opportunity for growth never stops just because your body has slowed down a bit.

🔍 Have you ever heard of Kohut's self psychology? 🧠 It's a genre of psychoanalysis that focuses on understanding and nurturing the self. 🌱 Instead of focusing solely on the unconscious and early childhood experiences, Kohut believed that our sense of self is formed through relationships and interactions. 🤝

🌟 He emphasized the importance of empathic attunement and mirroring, where a therapist provides understanding and validation to the patient's emotions and experiences. 🤲 This helps to develop a healthy and cohesive sense of self. 💙

💪 According to Kohut, when our self-esteem and self-cohesion are supported, we can better navigate life's challenges and maintain our overall well-being. 🌈 It's a fascinating perspective that sheds light on the profound impact of relationships and self-validation in shaping our psychological development. ✨
