Defining "Safe"

Finding safety is an ongoing theme onboard the SS Motley, and every crew member pulled from the storms needs to discover their own definition.

If we don’t feel safe internally, nothing will convince us otherwise. We think it keeps us more safe, but this heightened perception can lead us straight to peril; when all danger signals roar at the flutter of a leaf, we miss the tiger prowling behind the bush.

Understanding safety helps us better judge what is and isn’t safe; we can focus that protective energy on actual trouble and relax more efficiently in times of tranquility. In order to thrive, this restoration is imperative; if we never come down, we’ll burn ourselves up.

It's helpful to remember what we built, and how we got here. We are safe because of distance and time. We are safe because we got out of the jungle, there’s no tiger in our living room, and the predators from our past are long gone, and far, far away.

Working with Chronic Illness

Hi friends!
I really need some sort of remote job to afford, ya know, general living costs and trying to be a healthy human being. I’ve tried to get reliable remote positions but I can’t find anything other than freelance work.

I have experience with marketing and AI, but I don’t have a ton of experience. If anyone has any recommendations, that would be amazing!!!

isolation

since our trauma is relational, how are ya'll doing finding supports...friends...healthy love? I mean, I'm actually at the point where I do like who I am and accept flaws as gentle mistakes on my heart instead of a reason for self flagellation (which never got me anywhere, but more suffering). So, point there is that I like being with me, but I still have this grief and only connect to others comfortably(?) through that. Not sure grief ever goes away, right?

Thanks for readin#ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

I’m new here!

I'm looking for an online community that helps with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder due to childhood trauma. I’m isolated and don’t have community to connect with. My healing is lonely and doomscrolling on subreddits doesn’t seem to be helping.
