Complex PTSD Recovery [Reports]: We Are Traumatized M***********s

I’m shook & in shock! I just listened to your entro! You talked about me. 56 feel like I’m 80. I have all of the usual stuff. Cptsd trauma 101 that’s me. With so many years built up being shuffled around from Dr to Dr having so many tests while dissociating once they put me in the psych ward while my husband was parking the car. What I’m left with all these years is severe pain numbness in right leg can’t walk sometimes. Never rest not really. Now my cognitive decline has begun from longcovid and I m supposed to be taking care of my husband who had a ruptured brain aneurysm 16yrs ago. Finding little things everyday is helpful so is painting I also have my plants & 2 dogs .. oh almost forgot and 3 grown children who I absolutely adore. I just found your posts and you’re amazing so here I am so grateful for you. Oh and hi, I’m Lisa Have a great day:)

Thank you - I can digest this info and the humor is appreciated.

The most direct and thorough deep dive into what people that have experienced trauma (and us current / former partners) face so we can try to wrap our heads around what is going on. Grateful for the insights.

I found this podcast about a year ago while searching for answers on a term a friend had casually thrown out. I listened to a few episodes and found so much relief in the humor, the relatability, and the education. I subscribed, worked on myself, and stepped away feeling nice and healed. Cut forward to a year later, I was in complete despair and apathy and I found myself back seeing a new therapist who just wasn’t getting it. I tuned in again and wouldn’t you know - I’m finding that sense of community again in your words. Thank you for not only guiding my search for a therapist who understands trauma and CPTSD but also for shedding light on something not many people understand. It’s been a true beacon of light while I shed my old self and find ways to cope with building a new self and healing my relationship with myself above all. I ESPECIALLY appreciate the tone and the dark humor - it provides such needed breaks in the dark. I’m sharing as often as I can. Thanks for all your work. Much love and respect.
