With this podcast I aim to help people with my knowledge and the deconstruction to give them the tools, knowledge, security and understanding to help them with their healing journey, partner, (C-)PTSD, PTS or the like.The aim is to help people cure themselves or at least improve their journey to getting cured and not just healed and to finally have a life worth living again - not just surviving.The original goal was to just tell my path, but while doing the podcast I realized the dire situation of PTSD resources and changed it to be more broad and make my instructions more universal.This nightmare of an illness is quite easily defeated if you know what to do and it no longer can hide in the shadows, that make it immune. But it DOES require a lot of work and effort. I use PTSD to include all form of traumas. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask, I usually answer them per mail or in the episode if more is needed. I also offer therapy to help more directly.More information and transcripts you can find at: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/

    Ep174 - Flashbacks

    Ep174 - Flashbacks

    In this episode we will talk about flashbacks - the most known symptom of PTSD -  and wrongly assumed to be a central requirement for having any form of PTSD. 
    Flashbacks are often referred to something along the lines of “having flashbacks like I have PTSD”. But unlike what many think it is only a severe symptom and not a requirement for PTSD. It is a sign that PTSD is in its more severe stages and needs to be addressed NOW.
    We first talk about what are flashbacks, then what causes them, then when do they appear, then what can we do about them and then how can we use them.

    Ep173 - How abusers keep control over us

    Ep173 - How abusers keep control over us

    In this episode we will talk about how abusers keep control over us - even long after we are out of that situation it can still apply. Especially if we were children at the time and we learned this to be “normal”. We need to understand to recognize and unlearn it.
    We first talk about abuse language, then always on edge, then redefining normal, then always assumed guilty, then sabotaging skills, then sugar and pain and then isolation.

    Ep172 - Are we bound to be victims or abusers? (Hunters, survivors, healers)

    Ep172 - Are we bound to be victims or abusers? (Hunters, survivors, healers)

    In this episode we will talk about fate - in particular about the fate of those marked by trauma. Are we bound to be victims or abusers? That is a question I am sure many of you have asked when only these 2 fates seem to be available. But there is more.
    We first talk about how it starts, then the roadblocks, then the destructive outcomes, then the productive outcomes and then how it ends.

    The Quote: Criminal Minds S1E8
    Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner: You were just responding to what you learned, Vincent. When you grow up in an environment like that, an extremely abusive, violent household... it's not surprising that some people grow up to become killers.
    Vincent Perotta: "Some people"?
    Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner: What's that?
    Vincent Perotta: You said "some people grow up to become killers."
    Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner: And some people grow up to catch them.

    Ep170 - Love is not enough

    In this episode we talk about how love is not enough.
    Though this episode is going to be a bit different again, because - for one - it is something that is so deeply painful and hard to accept - that it is very difficult to talk about it. A deep wound almost all of us share. Some in great - some in lesser extent.

    Ep169 - How can I build up my support system? (Relationship)

    In this episode we will talk about building up your support system - especially about solutions until new relationships are possible, which I forgot to address last time and offered just an answer, but not a solution. Your healing progress is a long journey - and good company makes it a lot easier and enjoyable.
    We first talk about online groups, then online games, then animals and then local groups.

Perfect for the traumatized

This podcast really normalizes the isolating experience of CPTSD. The hardest thing about trauma is feeling alone

Apollo133 ,

So calming and relatable

Great calming podcast w short episodes which are perfect for when you’re having a bad day

motherofrabbits ,

CPSTD balm

I love Johanna’s frank, compassionate discussion of her handling of her CPTSD symptoms. Her voice and style are concise and friendly, and they speak right to the often-overwhelmed adult self trying to make sense of an onslaught of shame, hurt, anxiety, discouragement, and self-loathing. Take care, Johanna. Much love.
