#ptsdtherapy highlights therapeutic approaches for individuals with PTSD, offering support, sharing experiences, promoting healing, encouraging discussions on mental health, emphasizing coping strategies, community building, and raising awareness around trauma recovery.
Nothing seems to dredge up collective pain like watching the parents who have consistently hurt you throughout your life, try to take over or manipulate your own relationship with your child. For many of us, having children is the catalyst to find our own voice & start our own healing journey. We realize that in order to give our children what we don’t receive, we have to advocate for things we’ve been so afraid to speak up about. We have to hold ourselves to a standard of accountability that protects and cares for the children we’re responsible for…. and we open up the wounds we have in order to do that. We have to be fully honest & open about what we need to heal, change & grow into. We have to stop allowing toxic behavior to impact us because it bleeds into our family… and we have to learn to manage our emotions so we can be safe spaces for the emotions of the little ones we are responsible for. You may not have your own elders but you will become the elder❤️ #narcawareness #narcabuse #narcissist #narcissism #narcissisticabuse #narcabuserecovery #traumarecovery #traumainformed #traumabonding #traumabond #traumaresponse #traumaresponse #traumarelease #somaticexperiencing #somatichealing #somaticmovement #ptsdrecovery #ptsdwarrior #ptsdtherapy #healingtrauma #healingtools #empaths #empathsofinstagram #empathsbelike #childhoodtrauma #empathsupport
✌🏼Show of hands if you know what I’m talking about… This time of year can bring up a lot of grief & frustration when you have trauma in your family.  Here are my top tips for getting through & support yourself at the same time: 1. It’s ok to not participate in everything. Overwhelm is can be big& choosing the things that fill you up versus deplete you is a must.  2. Stack the Deck. If you know things will be stressful, take 5 min each day to put an ice pack on the back of the neck to reset your nervous system.  3. If you find yourself feeling sad, depressed or grieving, don’t ignore that. There is pressure for this time of year to be “magical” but in reality, heavy things come up when all that expectation is forced on us & then feel wrong when we can’t feel the “magic.” 4. Peace on Earth means Peace in You. If it destroys your mental or emotional peace, it’s a NO. 5. You are not obligated to fulfill everything that is put on your plate. If you have kids, allow them to see a balanced holiday season so they don’t grow up trying to live up to the unrealistic expectation you may be feeling overwhelmed by. 6. Most of all... set those Holiday Boundaries so you get to enjoy this time in the way that is meaningful to you and aren’t trying to please everyone at your own expense.  #EOYInspo24 #narcawareness #narcabuse #narcissist #narcissism #narcissisticabuse #narcabuserecovery #traumarecovery #traumainformed #traumabonding #traumabond #traumaresponse #traumaresponse #traumarelease #somaticexperiencing #somatichealing #somaticmovement #ptsdrecovery #ptsdwarrior #ptsdtherapy #healingtrauma #healingtools #empaths #empathsofinstagram #empathsbelike #childhoodtrauma #empathsupport

The worn out excuse I see every single day on my reels is “We did our BEST, Stop Blaming Your Parents” typically followed with some derogatory comment about how our generation thinks it’s trendy to hate parents, be a victim & destroy families. Here’s the reality... * Our generation is one of the first to speak up about how our parents impacted us emotionally, mentally & physically & then advocate for change. * Every single person I have ever worked with, WISHED their parents would have listened to them and changed so they could maintain a relationship that felt safer & healthier. * When you comment “Stop Blaming Parents & Acting Like a Victim” you are LITERALLY making yourself the victim & creating the same toxic behavior most of us grew up with.  * Blaming & Accountability are not the same thing. The reality is toxic parents call it blame to invalidate those who are speaking & belittle their voice.  * If a parent cannot hold space for the pain they have caused, that is THEIR work to do, not the child’s (adult or otherwise) * If you are a grandparent who refuses to treat your adult children with respect, love & care... you are not going to have a relationship with their children. Your adult child knows how you behave & who you are better than anyone & will protect their children from your unhealthy behavior. * No ones truly wants to lose family or go no contact... we want you to heal, take responsibility & do your own work to emotionally mature.  **************************************************  Not Therapy.

Healing happens when you learn to trust your own boundaries & needs. Toxic people will constantly push those boundaries & ask you to deny them in yourself. One of the things they will use against you is the feeling of guilt. They will build a narrative against you that you are "'guilty" or "mean" for not giving them their way or putting them first. Your work in healing is learning to sit with the fact that other people will be uncomfortable or upset when you put yourself first.  Build safety. The more you can create safety and stack the deck to feel safe, the easier it will be to allow people their own feelings without feeling like you are in danger or a bad person. Not therapy.

The way we are spoken to as children, matters deeply.  If you grew up with people in your life whose words felt like knives to your heart, you know how much impact they can carry and how quickly they can tear into your self esteem and injure the way you feel about yourself. Those wounds can create emotional trauma that shapes who we become & the experiences we have. They can be no less traumatizing than other traumas. Healing emotional trauma is healing your sense of self, your self worth, confidence & worthiness in the world to receive what you need. *Content based on my own personal views, experiences & study #narcawareness #narcabuse #narcissist #narcissism #narcissisticabuse #narcabuserecovery #traumarecovery #traumainformed #traumabonding #traumabond #traumaresponse #traumaresponse #traumarelease #somaticexperiencing #somatichealing #somaticmovement #ptsdrecovery #ptsdwarrior #ptsdtherapy #healingtrauma #healingtools #empaths #empathsofinstagram #empathsbelike #childhoodtrauma #empathsupport
🚨Were you a SCAPEGOAT?🐐 The thing with being stuck in freeze is that most of us are in some form of functional freeze so we overlook it and wonder why we’re emotionally numb or overwhelmed, exhausted, have brain fog or no energy… the list goes on. But if you grew up as a scapegoat in a narcissistic family, you are probably an Olympic level athlete at forcing yourself to freeze and override your emotions because that’s what you had to do to survive. You had to emotionally monitor and placate parents, pretend you were ok when you weren’t, act like the insults and criticism didn’t hurt & shut down your own feelings to protect the narcissistic parent’s ego. Did you ever really come out of it? Most of us healing childhood trauma still have some part of us that can be stuck in freeze. If you’re unraveling it or exploring the possibility a really good question to explore is… What do I not have permission to feel? Why? Who told me that or made me feel this way? What am I afraid would happen if I felt it? Not Therapy.

Signs Your Inner Child might still be struggling with some Childhood Trauma... * You don't take care of yourself first or ask for what you need because you don't want to be a burden * It's hard for you to figure out what boundaries are & if you set one you feel guilty or "bad" * Your Inner Voice is constantly telling you to try harder or be more because what you do & who you are is never enough * It's easier to keep people happy than deal with the feelings of their disappointment, anger or silence * You hide your anger under busy-ness, jokes & sadness * You struggle to get things done that are actually important to you & self sabotage or put if off Question to ask yourself if you notice any of these.... "What version of yourself do you long to be?" and "If you are honest with yourself, when or why did you to lose permission to be that?"   **************************************************  Not therapy.

4 Signs You Might have a Toxic Parent🚨 1. You are expected to live your adult life “their way”… they are constantly telling you what choices you should make, guilting you for having an opinion outside of theirs and generally pressuring you to comply with what they want. 2. You are expected to respect them, no matter how they treat you… because they operate with a double standard. They believe you owe them respect but they don’t feel they owe you any. 3. You walk on eggshells to not trigger or upset them... because you know if you do, you will have to deal with their emotional fallout. 4. It has become your responsibility to make them look good or be the “perfect family”... and they feel like they have the right to take credit for your successes and achievements in life that can be used to put them in a good light. The literal emotional labor involved in this is EXHAUSTING and honestly, no matter how many ways you try to cushion their responses... it’s not going to work. What you have to choose to lean into instead is setting and maintaining healthy boundaries to protect your own wellbeing & re-establish what you need.  For so long, the relationship has prioritized their needs and you might feel afraid or guilty to put yours first (totally normal!) but the only way this dynamic typically changes is if you start to add yourself into the equation and empower yourself to say “No.” **************************************************  Not therapy.
