The Deconstruction Of C-PTSD episodes

April 01, 2024 Ep173 - How abusers keep control over us
In this episode we will talk about how abusers keep control over us - even long after we are out of that situation it can still apply. Especially if we were children at the time and we learned this to be “normal”. We need to understand to recognize and unlearn it.
We first talk about abuse language, then always on edge, then redefining normal, then always assumed guilty, then sabotaging skills, then sugar and pain and then isolation.

March 17, 2024 Ep172 - Are we bound to be victims or abusers? (Hunters, survivors, healers)
In this episode we will talk about fate - in particular about the fate of those marked by trauma. Are we bound to be victims or abusers? That is a question I am sure many of you have asked when only these 2 fates seem to be available. But there is more.
We first talk about how it starts, then the roadblocks, then the destructive outcomes, then the productive outcomes and then how it ends.

The Quote: Criminal Minds S1E8
Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner: You were just responding to what you learned, Vincent. When you grow up in an environment like that, an extremely abusive, violent household... it's not surprising that some people grow up to become killers.
Vincent Perotta: "Some people"?
Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner: What's that?
Vincent Perotta: You said "some people grow up to become killers."
Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner: And some people grow up to catch them.

February 16, 2024 Ep170 - Love is not enough
In this episode we talk about how love is not enough.
Though this episode is going to be a bit different again, because - for one - it is something that is so deeply painful and hard to accept - that it is very difficult to talk about it. A deep wound almost all of us share. Some in great - some in lesser extent.

February 05, 2024 Ep169 - How can I build up my support system? (Relationship)
In this episode we will talk about building up your support system - especially about solutions until new relationships are possible, which I forgot to address last time and offered just an answer, but not a solution. Your healing progress is a long journey - and good company makes it a lot easier and enjoyable.
We first talk about online groups, then online games, then animals and then local groups.

January 19, 2024 Ep168 - When am I ready for a new (healthy) relationship?

December 31, 2023 Ep167 - How can I achieve the new me / my true self? (New Year Resolutions)
In this episode we will talk about achieving this new “me” that seems often so far away and some even believe is a myth. Or are you trying to return to your old true self? Both follow the same path that seems to be so hard if not impossible to find.
But today we really focus on the steps to take to achieve the new “me” - if you never had a healthy one - or return to your true “me” - if the experience has thrown you off your path.
We first talk about changing takes time, then your mental state, then your view of yourself and then the steps and signs of improvement.

December 09, 2023 Ep166 - Why do I loose control over my emotions? (overwhelmed emotional instability)
In this episode we will talk about emotions once again, but this time about loosing control over them. That can take many forms and is sadly usually a common aspect in dealing with PTSD and also during the healing progress.
We first talk about how it makes things harder, then about abusers and healthy people, then why you loose control and then how to better maintain control.

November 03, 2023 Ep164 - Do I have enough time left? Is my life over? (Midlife crisis sunk cost fallacy)
In this episode we will talk about time and life with the questions “Do I have enough time left” and “Is my life over” - which is something I went through myself and I hear so often. It’s common to get entrapped by it - and finding the answer is hard.
We first talk about why do we feel like we are running out of time, then is it too late for me, then what is lost and then where are we running.
