with intuition and making decisions.

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.

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 💕

You are so right. This life is a battle, a fight for balance and inner peace.

I get very upset that treatment isn't accessible to everyone. I don't understand how this is not seen as " important " enough to address.

Keep searching for the answers, don't give up.

We are strong people, we made it this far
