I’m so glad this resonated. We all need those pockets of safety—sometimes they’re tiny, but they make room for healing. I hope you find more and more of them, and that they grow with you.
not me finding this after discovering i likely have c-ptsd from all the childhood trauma i'm still struggling with 😭
dunno who you are, but i want you to know that i appreciate this post so much; it was an unexpected blessing, even if all i'm taking from is that i'm not broken and i'm not alone.
You’re not broken—you’re responding, adapting, surviving in the only ways your body and mind knew how to. What happened to you is not your identity. C-PTSD isn’t who you are, it’s a reflection of how deeply you’ve felt and endured in environments that couldn’t hold you.
The pain, the confusion, the ‘still struggling’—they’re not signs of weakness. They’re signs of aliveness, of your system fighting to protect something precious: you.
You are not alone in this. And you are not a diagnosis. You’re a whole person with a nervous system doing its best. I’m so grateful this found you at the right moment. Stay close to yourself—you’re already doing the work, just by being present.
I appreciate the talk therapy and will be tuned in for the pockets of safety 🍀
