Not letting your emotions get in the way” works great—until your body physically fails you because it can’t carry the memories of trauma by itself anymore and you end up physically disabled from it.Our kids need SLOW and SAFE adults to help them *feel* their emotions all the way through to completion while they’re still young. Trying to force kids to hide their big emotions has disastrous consequences later in life.#cptsd #emdr #IFS #traumawork #csa #dissociation #traumarecovery #traumainformedparenting #noncoerciveparenting

I wish I had answers for how to make deep physiological healing more accessible to people, but even just articulating the process like this feels like a starting point.#cptsd #emdr #did #IFS #partswork #traumawork #traumarecovery

Building a sustainable life after being in an acute health crisis for nearly two years is proving to be a little more complicated than I thought it would be.Turns out, the last two years of severe physical disability didn’t really fix my embodiment issue—I still suck at listening to my body’s physical limits when I’m hyperfocused or masking around other people.I’m trying to slow everything down in my life so I can listen & RESPOND to my disabled body’s limits, needs, & desires—before it gets to the point of pain.#embodiment #mindfulness #longCOVIDrecovery #longCOVID #pathologicaldemandavoidance #pdaautism #pdaparenting #autisticparenting #disabilityawareness

Obviously this is not actually a “main struggle” for us—given the complexity of everyone’s different nervous systems & neurotypes we’re navigating here, but it’s nice to have a little space for levity once in a while!#autisticparenting #echolalia #UnmaskingAutism #pathologicaldemandavoidance #pdaparenting #noncoerciveparenting

I hope I’m doing right by humanity by sharing my experiences so openly like this.I just know what’s happening right now in our mental health care system isn’t working for ppl like me, & I have more privilege than most. Hopefully I can dial this in eventually and use it to help others!

Toxic systems thrive on silence and shame. We have to shed light on the dysfunctional dynamics and identify them for what they are if we ever want to heal on a physiological level. ️🩹 #internalfamilysystems #partswork #IFS #unburdening #cptsd #dissociation #dissociationmadesimple #dissociativeidentitydisorder #did #osdd #TraumaRecovery #PTSDAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #HealingJourney #TherapyWorks #TraumaSurvivor #SelfCareSunday #Mindfulness #EmotionalHealing #MentalHealthS soupport #TraumaInformed #WellnessWednesday #EndStigma #SelfLoveJourney #Empowerment

This is one way I manage my autistic interoception issues when I’m struggling to identify my body’s needs. ️🩹 Using theto *force* my body to accept food—even when I’m overstimulated—has been necessary ever since getting long COVID.#pathologicaldemandavoidance #interoceptionissues #pdaautism #mindfulness #embodiment
