I think one of the hardest things for trauma survivors is watching the person who brutally destroyed you be blindly supported by friends and family.

For years I was an “over-understander”

I tried to understand where everyone was coming from. Made excuses. Told myself things would change. I thought it was my responsibility to accommodate.

In reality, my responsibility is: to take care of me.

Not to decode other people’s behavior.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Walking away as soon as someone does something you don’t like isn’t strength. It’s an inability to repair. And a lack of communication skills. Strength is having difficult conversations and not running because you’re afraid of being hurt.

"It’s so funny how so much of 'finding yourself’ in adulthood is simply getting back to who you were and what you loved as a child.” ~Zuri Marie

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Your patterns are created in childhood.

At one point they kept you safe. Waking up is realizing that today they cause you suffering. Healing is slowly unlearning them.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Childhood trauma creates a belief that we're a burden. That we have to earn our keep. That we have to perform to be loved. That if we're not perfect, we'll be abandoned.

Healing is really learning that was never true.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

When people aren’t in control of themselves or their own lives, they try to control others.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

As a psychologist, I’m really trying to bring my voice to this.

Over my career, I’ve seen many people with (natural) complex traumatic stress responses from (unnatural) environments. Yet, they’re not taught to understand their behavior as adaptions. Even worse, their trauma is often invalidated. Or told it’s part of a “normal” childhood. Without awareness that what’s normal in culture is highly dysfunctional and sometimes destructive.

It’s clear we are suffering. It’s time to stop pretending and denying.

Complex trauma is not recognized in the diagnostic manual. It’s so important to give people self understanding and hope. To know that there IS healing.

There’s more to life than diagnosing and telling people they have no agency over their lives.

We have a collective issue we don’t talk about.

We have adults who:
-can’t build healthy relationships
-who please so much, they abandon themselves in the process
-who are filled with anger and repressed rage
-who sabotage their partnerships
-who continue to go into cycles of stress and chaos because it’s all they know
-who feel so depressed and overwhelmed for VALID
-who are so hypervigilant and overstimulated they’re stuck in survival mode

Please educate yourself. Advocate for you, your family, and your community’s health. Use the resources in this video (if you’re called) to start your healing process.

May we break the generational cycle.

"I'm not looking for a hero. I saved myself a long time ago. I don't need someone to complete me. I am whole alone. I just want a weirdo to go on adventures with. Someone who will dance with me, kiss me when I least expect it, and make me laugh." ~Brooke Hampton⠀⠀

HOW TO RELEASE ANGER FROM THE BODY:

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Infidelity doesn’t come from a lack of love— it’s insecurity.

When people are insecure they use relationships for validation. They need the attention. They need escapism.

Betrayal is the symptom.

Secure people don’t sabotage, they build.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Sometimes your inner child needs to hear: I believe you. You were right. You deserved to be protected.

I'm here to protect you now.

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

PTSD hands us a cognitive load-- scanning every little goddamn detail of our environment or interactions for possible threats-- that means we're doing, like, 361% more work than non-trauma survivors in the same situation.

That exhaustion is real-- & physical, not just mental.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

If your first role as a child was to work around an adults temper, of course you have anxiety. You were protecting yourself when someone should have been protecting you.
