They want you numb. Overworked. Distracted. Apologizing for how much you feel in a world that profits off your disconnection. But staying soft in a world broken like this is not a weakness. It’s proof that you haven’t given up on being human.

This is a reminder that you're working your CPTSD recovery today because your people pleasing era is over.
If the price of accepting yourself is becoming "unacceptable" to them, pay that price. Pay it without a second thought.

Good advice from the subject of my last book, journalist Malcolm W. Browne: “Don’t expect too much from news. Be curious. Read books, travel. Think. . . . Watch for cant, propaganda, techno-babble, meaningless statistics.”

You're going to find keys to recovery & building a life in books, plays, & other places that the culture doesn't think of as "recovery" resources. Read fiction. Read poetry. Read mythology. Read social media feeds that inspire & support you.

They say it gets easier but it never really does, you just learn to be funnier about it and then also sometimes you find a nice porch to sit on for a while

Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

The backbone of sustainable trauma recovery is making the best choice we can, in this moment, w/ the bandwidth & tools we have. We don't have to process or resolve everything, or anything, in our past in this moment. Keep bringing it back to the best choice available-- here, now.

Emotional intelligence will absolutely make you the black sheep or scapegoat of an abusive family, church, or peer group-- which is a sign that emotional intelligence & sensitivity are among your MOST potent recovery tools.
If "they" consider it a weakness or flaw: look closer.

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.
