My name is CourageousChipmunk.

Hi,

I’m here because im curious if anyone has ever experienced that feeling of “I know what I need to do, but I just can’t get myself to do it” feeling.

I’m particularly interested in strategies backed by research, treatments, techniques or approaches that made it easier to take that step to start tasks more consistently.

If you’re comfortable sharing:
1) How did you apply it in your day to day life?
2) What specific steps did you take?
3) Was it recommended by a professional or based on research?
4) What changes or improvements did you notice?

Conquer Your Mind 6d

Left alone as an infant #Trauma #CPTSD

I need to hold on to people and things. The moment I losen grip, they are gone - I'm left alone.
This mindset is pretty strong, because it's part of my first experience.
That's nothing to do with willingly distrust. It's key of survival from when I was an infant. That's stuck in my autonome nervous system.
Everything I hold, I hold tight.
It feels impossible to hold it relaxed.

Sadly people rarely get this deep dynamic.

I'm finding it challenging to _________ lately.

Hi Mighties! 💎

How’s it going? What challenges have you been facing recently? What’s been helping you find comfort, relief, or clarity?

This month — and especially lately — I’ve been finding it challenging to release and process feelings of frustration, annoyance, and anger. These are emotions I’m used to repressing and hiding, so now that I’m allowing myself to feel them, it’s been hard to know what to do with them in my body.

What about you? What have you been finding challenging lately?

C-PTSD 1w

My voice belongs to Me. #DomesticViolence #CPTSD #EmotionalNeglect

How to use your voice when you rose up "being too much"?

As a child I used my voice loud, trying to set boundaries. All I got was being told to silence or disappear - until I got "easy to handle" again.

Yesterday I had a group experience in self defence. Using my voice, shouting "Stay away!!" felt empowering.

The time to use your voice is now.

we are them

They were scared. They were nervous. They were frustrated. They were confused. They were tired...as are we. Let’s just take a second to recognize how human these feelings are and always have been since the beginning of existence. #lifetrauma #Fear #PTSD #CPTSD
