“I didn't dare to think of anything then except the "facts." To get beneath the facts I would have had to be an artist, and one doesn't become an artist overnight. First you have to be crushed, to have your conflicting points of view annihilated. You have to be wiped out as a human being in order to be born again an individual. You have to be carbonized and mineralized in order to work upwards from the last common denominator of the self. You have to get beyond pity in order to feel from the very roots of your being. One can't make a new heaven and earth with "facts." There are no "facts" —there is only the fact that man, every man everywhere in the world, is on his way to ordination.”- Henry Miller
Women with CPTSD need a calm, emotionally regulated man (or partner). They can’t be with someone who is unpredictable, has outbursts, plays games, or does things that can trigger dysregulation.
They need a kind, responsible, well-regulated man who understands that their needs may be different and that being in a relationship with someone with CPTSD may require a certain level of patience.
I promise you: trauma survivors will break out of every box you try to put us in, literal or otherwise.
You have never met a human more hell bent on not feeling controlled or trapped than a survivor recovering from complex trauma.
Highly intelligent people are deep observers. They figure you out immediately, but act like they see nothing. They give you the space to talk, overstep, and show your real hand. By the time they respond, they have already calculated exactly who you are. Discernment is their best friend.
The US government just aired a Trump campaign ad on national TV, paid for with your tax dollars.
There's a federal law against this. They did it anyway and called it a "public service announcement."
While people complain about communism and socialism in America, authoritarianism is happening right in front of our eyes. We need a leader who knows the law and abides by it. Vote like your freedom depends on it.
@brisbin_william@DC_Draino You guys? I honestly don’t even know what you are referring to? When Trump was voted into office? I mean honestly if any side looks like a psych op it’s team red. Trump is not America first. Ya’ll have been duped!
