PTSD & Childhood trauma

Has anyone else dealt with PTSD from there childhood and are learning how to heal it? I have a lot of fears surrounding my childhood trauma that I know I should heal to live a happier life but I come across certain fears such as being a bad person or becoming like my parents who abused me and were violent. At times it can feel paralyzing and can even make me feel scared of myself. I’ve never done anything that I can think of to be labeled as a “bad person” but have still have fears and doubts. Just wanted to hear other people’s process of healing there fears with childhood trauma or anything PTSD related. I usually will write about it and will talk with my therapist about it as well as try to be positive with my self talk and stay busy doing things I enjoy. I’m sure it sounds like I have it figured out but at times it feels far from that.

I have and been in counseling for 30 years to stay on track. You are a wonderful person and never stop telling yourself that. Write positive affirmations daily and tuck them where you can pull them out to remind yourself what a wonderful person you are. Blessings my friend. Keep in touch

I try to remind myself, it’s something I know I can do better on. Talking about what’s going on helps me. Thank you for the support

I think we can get out. I’ve been in and out of it for a few years as well. Bringing my trauma to the light and releasing the negative energy is tough. But admitting I need help and be open with the ones I’m closest to is helpful but I do get scared to even open up to those around me because I don’t want them to worry about me. That’s how it was for me growing up I kept to myself and was scared of being open due to judgment. I probably judge myself more than anyone else.

I’m not sure I will stay on this site. I’ve been on here and deleted my account and started over like4 times. Someone on here accused me of being manipulating and a bad person. I was only scared and can’t stop crying. I never meant to do anything wrong

I have used a mind-body workbook specifically for PTSD. It really does help to write and practice scenarios
