year after year with this. when you are in fight and flight and freeze and dissociation and trying to survive, well, getting treatment is difficult for many reasons and making decisions when your body and mind and soul are so afraid and cannot relax.
no one knows really how to repair, and the next step and one after etc. for each organism that got badly injured and has cptsd.
just time and time again triggered as you go about trying to better things. then body is doing fight flight and freeze.
so many modalities people try and sometimes people are not in place to access or do the work of the treatment, just kind of treading water until more stable. how to make decisions when in state of terror and all else.

Yes, I know this feeling, feeling the urge to make changes but being continually sabotaged by a nervous system that wants to stay safe at all costs. It's frustrating to say the least but healing takes time. Being patient with myself has helped me a lot, not that I can do it all the time, but I try. Finding the right treatment plan is key, I found eye movement therapy to be a game changer but I still get unsettling dreams if I'm reminded of something from my past. My life and my life chances were affected by what happened to me as a child and a, woman but I'm still here and doing my best to thrive, for me, this is the only way. We are strong, you are strong and we are here for you 💕
