In realistic trauma recovery it matters we meet our reflexive avoidance w/ compassion & validation, even as we strategize how to do the thing anyway.

Calling ourselves "stupid" or "weak" for instinctively wanting to avoid a thing will only shut us down & deepen our reluctance.

It's not your fault you struggle to validate yourself. You're doing what you saw modeled & what the culture models every day: reflexive invalidation. Understanding validation not as a touchy feely luxury, but rather a nonnegotiable trauma recovery tool, takes time & practice.

OH THATS SO CUUUTE!!!! 😭😭💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Our abusers did not just hurt us-- they programmed into us a story about who we are & what we deserve that sounds very convincing, because we were vulnerable when it was conditioned into us.

Their story about us is just BS (Belief Systems-- but also the other kind of "BS").

Your physical reactions to trauma memories & symptoms do not make you a "burden" or a "freak."

Managing & decreasing our physical reactivity depends on our ability to create safety inside w/ our self talk & mental focus-- & shame does not facilitate feeling "safe" w/ ourselves.

Don't let Trauma Brain convince you because yesterday, or today so far, has been rough, that your choices "don't matter," there's "no point" in being grounded or communicating w/ your "parts," or that today's a "wash."

Breathe; blink; focus; & manage this minute. Then the next.

Hating the version of ourselves we were then, the person who went through the worst of our trauma, does nothing for our recovery now. All it does is teach our nervous system that we're willing to turn on ourselves eventually.

Don't hate past "you." Forgive & hold them.

:)

Flashbacks can be immersive, to the point where "ignoring" them is not a realistic option-- which can make us feel helpless (& in my case, furious).

Breathe & extend yourself grace when flashbacks hijack you-- drowning "you" needs calm, measured, prepared "you" in those moments.

You are not "failing" if a recovery tool many people find useful doesn't seem to work for you. Everybody's nervous system, trauma, & recovery needs are unique. Don't get in your head about how your recovery contrasts to others-- just focus on YOUR next recovery supporting choice.

Remember today that triggers may or may not seem to have anything to do w/ what we experienced in the past. Trauma jacks up our nervous system such that noises, body sensations, & even "vibes" can evoke responses, whether or not they're particularly "familiar" due to our past.
