Just seeing some negativity that needs to be stomped out - our perception of "lost" versions of ourselves. Stop hating who you think you are now. Stop worrying about "who you used to be." Stop assuming you can never be that person again. It's all about your neural networks (the discussion continues). 

Hurry up and jump into the full episodes so you can find your "old selves" already. The annual deal ends TOMORROW at Patreon.com/traumatizedmotherfuckers 

There's been some confusion expressed about this "motherfucking blanket fort" and "private podcast stream for full episodes" thing. Let me clarify - as directly as possible. 

Ready to get the password? Head to patreon.com/traumatizedmotherfuckers now that I've explained myself. 

So we know how trauma works - but how does it impact our brain structures to elicit semi-rigid trauma reactions that are intricate enough to be considered full "personalities?" Today, we're talking neural networks, Schema Theory, and Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors by Janina Fisher. If you've been wondering why you keep failing at trauma recovery, you might want to tell your Git Shit Done self to listen up.

What do trauma survivors commonly fuck up? Our understanding, appreciation, and acceptance of boundaries. Today, we're coming at you with the original Motherfucking recording spirit... unscripted, imperfect and honest talk from my natural trauma recovery environment. The place where I've been bonus-episoding all over the Patreon Blank Fort. The woods. Put in your headphones and let's take a walk.

We've all heard your story. Now it's time to hear ours. 

It's the Bite Sized summary of the full episode, ready for a quick taste?

Why do so many of our parents have the same unfortunate covert abuse tactics in their front pocket? Why did we grow up with an unhealthy narrative about self-worth and self-accountability? Where did all this narcissistic energy come from, originally? Well, I was going to do a deep dive into the Silent and Boomer generations to let you know, but after the springtime personality disorder uprisings have tried my last nerve... let's reapproach this episode from a less enabling perspective. One that doesn't contribute to the abuse echo chamber they've popularized in the world they (very practically) ruined. Fuck Off Boomers. Remember, be sure to tune in on Thursday for big news. You'll want to be here.

Last time we learned about a new type of Narc; the "Covert" variety... who sound an awful lot like our mothers, collectively. So what happens if you WERE raised by a Narcissist mom, in particular? What are the common characteristics of the relationship? What are the common childhood templates under Narcissistic Abuse? What happens to kids - specifically daughters - in the long run? And how do you deal with someone who doesn't want to treat you differently?
