RE: Carry The Glowing Seed, Plant Reality from the Dream [PTSD Series: Part 4]
And every day at each critical moment you must ask yourself, "What would the person I want to be, be doing in this situation?"
This is actually some of the best advice I have ever read on handling this issue. I like your emphasis on not talking endlessly about the trauma, and instead focusing on what to do to heal.
What do we do next? How do we react? How do we rebuild our lives from the smattering of atoms and the obliteration of everything we loved/cared for/desired/needed?
That's what defines who we are, not the trauma itself.
Thank you. I am (and i trust that other also are) benefiting from this series of yours. Your explanations cut through a lot of wired in crap and make a space for a healthy understanding to start to grow.
Thank you, I'm glad you found something of value in this. I know I'm not qualified as a mental health professional, but I am just sharing what worked for me, I hope others can find hope in it.
It's the fact that it has worked for you, and you can talk about it with a sense of personal authority that has me paying attention. A lot of people have views and ideas on the topic, but someone who has walked the necessary steps is different. I know not all things work for all people, but this is still good to know.
