Trauma recovery is a hard road, what are we supposed to do when our wings aren't just broken, they are gone?
I guess we walk now.

Relationship #TraumaRecovery reminder of things I don't miss about living with a white man who has done zero decolonization & loves firearms.

I don't miss having to hear hours of stupid podcasts from a bunch of Canadian handgun addicts who love bragging to their online fans about how many guns they have & how no one will take their guns from them without a big fight 🤡

#Youth in #BritishColumbia will soon have more #access to #MentalHealth & #AddictionServices at a dozen new #Foundry centres.

Increased #funding for the centres comes from the latest provincial budget, providing $236 million over three years to create more services for young people, including nearly $75 million for expansion of services.

#PSA: you don't have to reach a certain "trauma quota" before cutting ties w someone

there's no "traumameter" that needs to reach a certain point before walking away

you don't even need to be hit by the first; if you see it in time, you can move out its way

even a potential #trauma is #traumatic
your pain isn't less valid for dodging a bullet; either way, it was shot at you

this has been a ✨Psych Service Announcement✨

Sometimes the "safe space" conversation is too limiting or impossible because we all have differing definitions of safe.

Attached is an alternate approach by Micky Scott Bey Jones.

Because the world tries to blend chaos and order none of us make it to adulthood without some tricky spots in how we interact with the world.

Having people in our lives to help us identify what's sticking and hold space for us as we work our way out can be a huge help.

How Trauma Affects Social Interactions For Autistic People

Interestingly enough it was an article in the Harvard Business Review (Decisions and Desire) that prompted a bit of an "aha moment" around being autistic and social cues/social interactions. In the article, the author says: The amygdala responds instantaneously to all manner of perceived po

Today I am having emancipation mousse with my friend who also has gone no-contact with a parent.

I went no-contact with one parent 10 years ago and then the other one about 2 weeks ago. So I definitely need some mousse, or maybe a cheesecake... Mmm cake.

#Trauma #TraumaRecovery #NoContact

I am so tired. I was like, "Yeah I'll go on the 'don, interact with some people, have some conversations, post some toots, but first I'll do a blog post." Omg was that a blog post and a half!

You are welcome to read it. It's all about my eye health and how childhood abuse and trauma has made me question everything in life.

Be prepared. It is a long one. And I'm going to go lie down. Hope everyone is finding some peaceful moments today!

I was going to take my minimal-contact parent out for scones tomorrow for their birthday. It's a nice place in a park.

I find when I take them to places with plants and animals they are distracted and easier to be around. Still stressful given how toxic they are, but at least I can handle it for 45 minutes.

I just found out the place is closed until further notice 🙄

Now I'm scrambling to find a quiet place with pancakes or scones because someone complains about eating actual food 🙄 and it has to have decent coffee for me lol

I don't hate much, but when it comes to my parents... I need more trauma therapy 😂

My tastes in reading post-trauma therapy compared to pre-trauma therapy has both changed and not changed.

It blows my mind the amount of books I added to my to-read list that I now wonder how I could read those things without being intensely triggered.

I'm still interested in the same genres though.

Changed, but not changed.

@Mrfunkedude something really helpful to me lately is to see my emotions as a little friend - or a child - or even little me. Helps me speak to myself more kindly and reparent myself. #MentalHealth #TraumaRecovery

After this toot I found out I wasn't getting a job I really wanted 🤣😭 but at least I'm working with an organization in my job search so I have help and advice etc. But it's still so hard for me. It takes all my emotional energy. #ADHD #RSD #traumarecovery

I, very personally, understand how difficult it can be to go minimal to no-contact with a family member.

Today I realised something.

I'm projecting my ability for compassion, empathy, and remorse onto these toxic family members. I worry about hurting them by putting my needs first and my needs happen to be to cut them out. The thing is, they don't have remorse, compassion, or empathy, and their behaviours are really making this plan to see.

I'm sharing this in case it helps someone else. You live your life surrounded by toxic people and they have a way of screwing with your perspective to make it fit their reality. It's not necessarily the healthy reality.

Question their actions. Question how it makes you feel.

Your worth is so much more than what they lead you to believe.

The reality of things is so much different then what our abusers lead us to believe.

I still haven't figured out if my binging of true crime docos pre-trauma therapy was a coping method or I actually liked it.

I'm going to test it out today.
