Another great episode highlighting what happens in the body when you move between states - moving from shutdown to ANS arousal is scary, like having the breaks & the accelerator on at the same time. You might look frozen but internally the alarms are all going off

It's #DIDAwarenessDay and we wanted to create the best "starter kit" we could to introduce many to this deeply misunderstood and unfairly stigmatized condition.

Excellent article on the media portrayal of #DissociativeIdentityDisorder in film/tv. It's especially wonderful to hear from survivors w/ DID, in their own words.

Also, additional thanks to @lauragdunson for included BAB in your resource section.💙💚 #complexptsd #cptsd #trauma

It's been a really tough time to be a trauma survivor who's active and engaged online lately. It's been hard for ~2 years, truly. If you're finding yourself really overwhelmed and unable to escape the noise, these distraction techniques may prove helpful!

Clinicians used to believe DID occurred if a child's mind was so traumatized - so pressurized, overtaxed - it broke into pieces.

This old model left many survivors feeling as if THEY were broken, shattered beyond repair.

This is 100% untrue. Here's why:

#selfcare is so important. Can only look after others when you look after yourself first

[The Refuge @TheRefuge_FL]

Self care is important for everyone, but is especially important for mental health professionals. What can you do to better take care of yourself? https://t.co/ZQcmangqHS

"For many, the war begins at home. ... This is particularly tragic, since it is very difficult for children to recover when the source of terror is not enemy combatant, but their own caretakers."

Setting boundaries can be one of the toughest steps in healing from chronic childhood traumatization. It's also one of the most important. You're worth SO much more than self-sacrifice, people-pleasing and/or obsessive care-taking.

You are more.

Forgive yourself for the survival patterns and traits you picked up while enduring trauma.
Forgive yourself for not knowing better at the time.
Forgive yourself for past behaviours.
Forgive yourself for being who you needed to be to survive.

Saying suicide is selfish is saying, “Although I don’t understand clinical depression & suicide I’m going to judge people who die from it even if causes unimaginable pain + trauma and stigmatizes mental illness because it makes me feel better + safer.”
