If we want our "parts" & inner child to trust us, we need to show them-- not tell, show-- that we're willing to stay w/ them even when the hard sh*t hits. That we won't respond to painful feelings & memories by punishing or abandoning ourselves.
That we're not like our abusers.

You are not, & you do not need to be, the one trauma survivor who figures out how to "win" recovery by doing it "perfectly" the first time. I understand that overachieving was often your ticket to "safety" back then-- but this isn't like that.
Breathe.
No, really: breathe.

In CPTSD recovery, we need from ourselves and our supports now what we needed from our caretakers back then: assurance that we will not be abandoned or suddenly unloved-- even when our behaviors are less than lovable, even when we feel bad, even when we're less than perfect.

I can't take any "fascism experts" seriously who spent the past 2 decades ragging on abolitionists who said plainly that fascism was both already embedded in the criminal punishment system AND that criminalization is the fuel for fascism.

Banning trans people from owning guns is a really REALLY significant escalation and I think the scariest part about it that's not being discussed at all is that the plan is to declare that trans people are mentally ill
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

You don’t find “common ground” with fascists. You build power to defeat them. This is the main reason why I believe fascism at the Federal level in the US will last generations.
