TRAUMATIZED Trauma Podcast Network

Originally Published March 5th, 2022



Dysregulation refers to the inability to regulate your brain function and nervous system, which has physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. With CPTSD, our history of trauma can leave our nervous system always engaged in fight or flight, and we become extra sensitive to stress and other triggers.

For CPTSD survivors, dysregulation is generally caused by a trigger. This can be a seemingly ordinary or mild event, but it triggers an unconscious flashback to the feelings of a past traumatic or emotionally upsetting experience.

3 years of struggling with my CPTSD, my healing has been difficult to handle.  It affects my self confidence, my identity and it makes it very difficult for me to accept the reality of what CPTSD is to me.  My parts often are triggered and take over, I as the adult am often blended with my Child Parts and so my reality of what life is and each situation I face is not what's actually happening.  Believing my child parts skews the truth about most things in my life and I have to learn to see that reality isn't necessarily the truth.



I am learning and it takes a lot of effort, time and set backs to get there so I am sharing my struggles with you and showing all of you just how important it is to do your work and process.

Dealing with Complex Trauma like mine I have parts that I am struggling to update and gain their trust.  I am making progress but they are not always willing to listen and be updated.  I cannot be hard on them and I can't blame them or treat them with any disrespect because all that will do is create worse issues and they'll trust me even less.  I have to be patient but I also have to work harder with my processing so that this will pay off as you get closer to healing.  Listen to my podcast episode and see how stressful being blended with this child part is.

This episode was originally published September 17th, 2022.



Izzy @izzy_michea, who is originally from Chile and residing in Buenos Aires, Argentina was eager to come onto this podcast and not only talk about her own CPTSD, Trauma and her past work but also openly discuss about how we need to normalize discussing our own Mental Illness without the fear of negativity, anger and blame from society and those close to us.  People who are Mentally Ill and physically ill in Chile are not considered people according to their current constitution and even though they're working on creating a new one the fact that so many people in Chile's past faced persecution due to their own mental health problems was wrong!



People all over the world are too afraid to talk to others about their mental health because they believe that they will not get the help and support they sorely deserve.  Even in countries like the United States, UK, Canada, and other developed countries many of us don't want to talk about it because they don't think people will believe them or help them without feeling burdened.  This has to change and Izzy and I discuss on this episode about that exact issue.

"Window of Tolerance" a term coined by Dr. Dan Siegel is now commonly used to understand and describe  normal brain/body reactions, especially following adversity. The concept suggests that we have an optimal arousal level when we are within the window of tolerance that allows for the ebb and flow (ups and downs of emotions) experienced by human beings. We may experience hurt, anxiety, pain, anger that brings us close to the edges of the window of tolerance but generally we are able to utilize strategies to keep us within this window. Similarly we may feel too exhausted, sad, or shut down but we generally shift out of this.

There may come a point in your life where you will decide to tell those in your close knit group of people you know that you have CPTSD, childhood trauma and are trying hard to get better and heal from your trauma.  Whether it's a real close friend, extended family member, your Wife/Husband or BF/GF, you do have a lot to ponder on when you decide who gets this privilege?

Trust and confiding in that person is huge, so extremely important because what they say in response to you can be the difference between growing and becoming more triggered.  Sadly, not everyone who suffers from CPTSD has a person that they can trust enough to tell them about their trauma and that isn't fair at all.
