If you're reading this, I will absolutely give you the benefit of the doubt about how hard you're working. Others may or may not see it; or they may misunderstand what "working hard" looks like for survivors who are committed to masking our struggles.

No matter. Stay on target.

Realistic trauma recovery is going to bring us face to face w/ the reality that we can, actually, let ourselves rest, laugh, & experience non-painful things-- even if someone's upset w/ us, even if we're not where we want to be in recovery yet, even if we don't have "permission."

Your bullies & abusers quite intentionally programmed the idea into you that you don't have any problems that you didn't create or attract yourself. They very much want you to let them off the hook & take the hit for them, if you would be so kind.

I recommend not being so kind.

When we've been programmed to doubt & distrust our own judgment, experiences, & needs, as complex trauma survivors have, the idea we'll someday generate our own sense of hope & purpose can feel like a completely alien, nonsensical idea.

But it will happen.

Work your recovery.

blind optimism makes me run head first into love
because I will not be defined by my first broken heart.

Hi! I wanted to introduce myself now that I’m starting to get the hang of this. :D I’m a writer working on my 1st novel, looking to connect with other creatives! Mental health, trauma, sexuality, and parts work (IFS) are common topics for me.

Also a huge nerd in general. ^_^
