You wrote, I do my best to answer! Today's Q: "Your episodes trigger the fuck out of me, therapy is going to do the same.... so how do I keep up my hyper-functionality while the emotional tides rage?" My A: I wish "do yoga about it" worked across the board. But it don't, so let's approach this from another direction. Talking Manager vs. Exile parts, Self reliance, and making external changes so we can do internal work.

Why don't we sign up for close connections anymore? Especially after learning about our CPTSD patterns?

It's an episode pulled from the private Fort! Let's talk about relationship hangups from an experiential standpoint, integrating what we've heard from the research with real life brain operations to demystify disorganized feelings about closely connecting with others.

"So how do you feel about relationships? 

Complicated? 

You want them? You despise them? You fear them? You long for them? You try them? You exit them rapidly? Or you try to? You get stuck in them? And haunted by cycles of unfulfillment?"

Today, let's talk about the obstacles we face when considering relationships or landing ourselves in them. The ways we attempt to protect ourselves from them. Why shallow, distanced relationships plague PTSD sufferers. And how vulnerability, intimacy, and trust are necessary foundations for our long-term healing.

For the full conversation on VIT in relationship shitnanigans, hit patreon.com/traumatizedmotherfuckers and stay tuned as we dive deeply into relationships on trauma.

My inbox collects a lot of stories and questions... and I think they'd be put to better use anonymously shared with the whole crew. Let's dip into some listener feedback and questions today, asking "Do I have CPTSD?" "How do I understand my partner better?" and "How do I cope in this relationally destabilizing time?"

So you're doing your damndest to be "your best self." Maybe you're confident and comfortable in your identity these days. But, at the same time, you still find that self-condemnation is a big part of your day to day. Why? 

Let's talk about self-judgment taking place on subconscious levels. How your identities mask the ongoing self-loathing that created them. And how to heal that shit, once and for all.

Today, sharing a mini essay I wrote for another platform, where controversial perspectives are the topic of conversation.

In so much of this "trauma recovery game" we're inspired to hunker down against past patterns. But is that really healing?

Ever feel like you've got a whole household of people contained in one skull? Fighting, just like they did in your family home? Turns out, that's normal. 

Today, let's talk about Internal Family Systems and the roles cemented in your brain. Protectors, Exiles, Distractors, and their vicious cycles that leave us feeling out of control of our own noggins. Plus, how to work with them, instead of hosting raging battles inside forever.

When your brain is a spiralling hellhole of "not good enough, never have been"... sometimes you withdraw. When that shitscape is finally over, it's time to reconsider the hiding you've been doing. 

Let's talk about what happened in those isolative times '21-22 and the sudden re-release of episodes from the beginning days of this accidental podcast. 

Stoked to get better acquainted... and hail yer damn Self, Fuckers. 

Cheers

Let's talk about the opposition we face during trauma recovery - namely, from our social contacts who aren't ready to have their own histories and perspectives pulled into focus. And, let's discuss the reason why the battle is worth all the effort.

Don't give up, brave Motherfucker. Remember that what you're doing matters. For everyone. ✊
