"They" are going to try to convince you you are "responsible" for their emotional reactions-- because "they" are not working a recovery. Those of us who are working our trauma recovery know, & remember, that we cannot "make" anyone feel anything or "control" anyone's behavior.

The fact that life has been sh*t so far has zero to do w/ what life will be like going forward. I know that's hard to wrap your head around, but it's true. Do not let your bullies & abusers convince you you have nothing left to give or receive. Your real life hasn't even started.

Tove Jansson's (1957) illustration from her book 'Moominland Midwinter'. Moomintroll, unlike his family who hibernate, decides to stay up through the harsh winter. It is a tale of endurance, acceptance and learning to live with the discomfort of uncertainty #WomensArt

As a rule in trauma recovery, if you're calling yourself names like "stupid" or "lazy," you've lost the plot. Push pause, back up, & gently re-engage w/ yourself in a way that doesn't echo your bullies & abusers.

George Harrison financed Monty Python's Life of Brian -- enabling it to be made after the film's original financial backer pulled out -- and had a chaotic walk-through cameo:

Enlightenment is not the annihilation of the self, but the awakening to the truth that the self was never real to begin with. What remains is not emptiness as a void, but emptiness as a boundless, luminous awareness — the very nature of the Buddha.

The big daily task for many trauma survivors that goes unacknowledged by others in their sphere is how to realistically manage thoughts & feelings, while coping w/ physical fatigue, pain, & other limitations not even their own health care providers adequately understand or treat.

sometimes I do field work in the most gorgeous water (Harrison river, BC) and you can see the sturgeon swim away forever 🥹
this is a nice close up of the scutes that cover sturgeon for protection, they have several rows of these bony plates that can be really sharp!

As we interrupt old patterns of self-talk & mental focus in trauma recovery, it's real important we not fall into telling ourselves the problem's been us "doing life wrong."
The problem was our CONDITIONING, which we did not choose-- & which we're actively working to change now.
