[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Complex post traumatic stress (C-PTSD) is often misdiagnosed as ADHD, depression, bipolar, anxiety, or other mental health disorders.

C-PTSD is not yet recognized as an official diagnosis.

Symptoms include:
-hyper-vigilance
-inability to pay attention
-dissociation
-“mood swings”
-low self worth
-inability to self regulate
-history attachment issues in relationships (ex: abandonment fears)
-overall distrust
-emotional flooding and/or flashbacks
-inability to emotionally regulate

Complex post traumatic stress typical comes from long-term trauma in childhood.

Ex:
-verbally or physical abuse, shaming
-witnessing dysfunctional relationships
-chronic chaos (unpredictability)
-parents who couldn’t emotionally regulate
-bullying
-emotionally absent parents
-financial insecurity and chronic stress
-sibling abuse
-addicted parents

When children are helpless to leave an unsafe or insecure environment, the body remembers. It remains in a threat state.

There is healing for C-PTSD: somatic healing/therapy, self healing, movement (ex: dance therapy), nutritional approaches, attachment therapy, and mind body practices like yoga all can be a part of an integrative approach.

Retweet for awareness.

She started a dating app called Bumble in 2014 that let women make the first move and became the youngest self-made billionaire in the world.

Nearly 9 years and countless Bumble weddings and babies later, she's celebrated over 1.5 billion first moves.

Here are 4 pieces of advice from the queen of dating, Whitney Wolfe Herd:

Solo lunch dates for the win!

[Billy Oppenheimer @bpoppenheimer]

On the 27th straight day of filming “Forrest Gump,” Tom Hanks was tired & worried.

During a scene on the famous park bench, Hanks stopped & said to director Bob Zemeckis,

“Hey, Bob…is anybody going to care about this movie? I don’t think anybody’s going to care.”

Bob replied,

“It’s a minefield, Tom. You never know what’s good…It’s a minefield! It’s a goddam minefield! We may be sowing the seeds of our own destruction.”

Tom Hanks told this story after he was asked, “When I ask for a memory from your career, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?”

He said that what Zemeckis said was true of every movie he’s worked on:

“There’s never any guarantee...You do not know if it is going to work out.”

Takeaway 1:

Hanks is the 5th-most highest-grossing actor of all time.

And yet, the stickiest memory of his career is the feeling of uncertainty.

Rarer than talent or work ethic, the poet John Keats wrote, is the ability to step into and push through doubts and uncertainties.

In 1817, Keats wrote a letter to his brothers to share this exciting realization.

“At once it struck me,” Keats wrote, “what quality went to form a Man of Achievement … Negative Capability.”

Keats explains that “Negative Capability” is “when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.”

Takeaway 2:

Those who possess Negative Capability, who can sit with uncertainty, who can spend months or years in the minefield that is working on something while knowing that there is a real possibility no one will care about it—they often possess another quality.

They do what they do, not as a means to some end (money, fame, awards, etc.), but for the sake of doing it.

When asked about one of his movies that commercially failed, Hanks said,

"I loved making that movie. I loved writing it, I loved being with it. I love all the people in it."

As Ryan Holiday once told me, "The work has to be the win."

You control the effort, he says, not the results.

"So ultimately, you have to love doing it. You have to get to a place where doing the work is the win and everything else is extra.”
