I just realized that you can change songs on the #Spotify mobile app by swiping left or right at the bottom of the screen where it shows the song that's currently playing.
Yay.

Here, now, today, you have permission to feel & express things that you were shamed or punished for feeling back then.

People or institutions (including, especially, churches) who make you feel otherwise aren't going to be realistic supports for you in your trauma recovery.

Trauma survivors don't instinctively keep our stories & experiences to ourselves because we love handling them on our own. We've often been conditioned to believe we HAVE to handle them on our own-- & that putting words to our world makes us vulnerable.

Breathe. You make sense.

My tolerance for the taste of salt is almost zero, as of late.

You know... I miss you the days when the most political post or repost or quote I ever made was whether or not ketchup chips are any good.
Somebody stop the world. I want off this hellish ride.

It's not our fault that we grew up mistaking attachment for connection. We're not born understanding what we need & deserve-- all we know is what we experienced.

Turns out, many "choices" we made to be consistent w/ a toxic comfort zone weren't actual choices. Grace over guilt.

"Trauma bonding" is the confusing attachment we feel toward people who hurt us-- but we need to remember that it's not "love" or a "choice."

It's the kind of instinctive bond that a kid-- or a person of any age-- who has been starved of connection & forced to be dependent forms.

Ignoring our own needs is 100% one of the most destructively selfish things we can do. Over time it practically guarantees we're going to flame out & be unable to support any person or pet we love.

You're not The Exception who can run on empty indefinitely. The bill comes due.

Continuing to engage w/ someone who is toxic to us, even if we're right, even if no one else is challenging them, at the expense of our safety & stability is a trap.

There is NO argument or interaction, especially on the internet, worth sacrificing our safety & stability over.

When you're struggling, remember that it will pass.

You'll look back, and feel relief.

"I'm glad that's over," you will think.

You're only days or hours from that moment.

What many people mean by "tough love" has nothing to do w/ realistic problem solving or effective life strategizing-- they're just trying to bypass the actual work of recovery, which requires self-acceptance & self-compassion in the service of sustainable, incremental change.

We've got the energy, focus, & motivation we have today. No more; no less. No shame or "should" is going to change it.

Thing is: we CAN do the trauma recovery basics-- self-compassion, self-acceptance, patience, & authenticity-- no matter how much bandwidth we do or don't have.

CPTSD is lying to you about the "need" to interact w/ yourself in caustic, destructive ways. Treating yourself like an *sshole has zero to do w/ "high standards."

Wanna hold yourself to a super high standard? Stay consistent w/ the self-love, even when it feels counterintuitive.
