Complex trauma isn't about imperfect parenting. Every parent is imperfect. Every childhood is imperfec. Complex trauma is about a toxic blend of you-suck, you don't matter you+don't escape and .here-are-someway inappropriate experiences to cope with.

I take my little knife and scrape away one burnt area at time. Then I get a tiny nibble: a bit acrid, a bit smoky. But still, it’s just enough to keep me going to remove the next burnt patch. #CPTSD #ComplexTrauma #TraumaRecovery

I heard this analogy/metaphor today of what it’s like to heal from #CPTSD: My life is like a piece of toast left in the toaster too long. It’s the only piece of toast I have and I’m starving, so I’m going to make it work. #ComplexTrauma #TraumaRecovery

Leaving an abusive situation is good, but it’s not enough. Abuse changes you, how you see the world, how you respond. If you are struggling after being in an abusive situation, realize this is normal and get trauma therapy.

Working my trauma recovery from sexual traumas led me to begin understanding my #neurodivergence! That in turn led me to work my #traumarecovery from complex traumas. As I learned more about my #AuDHD, I saw not knowing that’s the way my brain works until I was 34 filled life with #complextrauma.

What looks small from the outside can quietly erode our sense of safety and resilience. Being neurodivergent makes us especially vulnerable to this.

Safety is not something we force our way into. It is something our nervous system learns through consistent connection, attunement, and compassion. Our nervous system does not settle just because risk is gone. It settles when it feels held, understood, and connected.

Quote from Amber: Oh, how I loved that chase! It was the needle in my arm (perhaps also between my toes) for so many years. I’d complain about it, the stress and busy-ness, but had minimal awareness that I was choosing it over and over again. Like that Simpsons episode where Sideshow Bob keeps stepping on rakes that hit him in the head. For intelligent, adaptable creatures we can sure be resistant to learning sometimes!"

My first-ever TV appearance yesterday! 📺 I don't think I botched it, though at one point I forgot what question I was answering... 🙄🤔😅. #ARCSeattle #SeattleAuthor #Memoir #CommunityConnection #MentalHealthAwareness #ComplexTrauma #CPTSD
