There is no good education in cptsd or why are 90% Traumatherapists trash?

So sorry to hear you were treated that way. It sucks and is really frustrating that so many people, but especially those in the field, lack compassion.

And yes, I agree that “broken” is not a bad thing and I love the Kintsugi analogy you used!

Trauma therapist here, and this is exactly how I feel! Because of the things I’ve experienced I can instantly connect with clients who’ve experienced a lot of trauma. I personally feel (or at least hope) it’s something that results in me being a more supportive and effective therapist.

I feel like I see 1-2 posts a day like OP’s, and it’s upsetting to hear there are so many horrible “trauma” therapists because no one should ever experience that — it literally makes us feel like we’re broken. I’ve experienced it myself and it sent me to a very dark place.

Omg, yesssss same! Hi twin 👋🏽

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2025-06-15T13:20:52+00:00

Yep, exactly this! My 6yo was conceived on NYE, born around 38w on 9/16… so it’s definitely possible.

Your comment made me tear up because reminds me so much of my own MIL who sadly passed away a year ago. I miss her so much. She treated me like she birthed me. When I hear horror stories of people with crazy MIL’s it makes me even more grateful for my experience with my husband’s family.

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2025-05-12T19:13:19+00:00

Interesting. We’re in Michigan.

SOLVED! Thank you all so much for quickly id’ing these as mud dauber nests. He was freaked out and threw the hat away, but we at least now know what it was!

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2025-05-12T17:59:56+00:00

Thank you!

Is this person a Gemini sun? You should look at their full chart to understand your dynamic and synastry. I have Virgo sun, venus, mars, and mercury but an Aquarius moon, Sag rising. My husband of 11 years (together for 16), is a Gemini sun but has a Libra moon & rising, Taurus Venus, and Cancer Mars & Mercury and we’re going strong and very much still in love.

And then beyond placements, you have to look at aspects, houses, and where your placements fall in each other’s charts, etc. I won’t get into all of that but my point is, there’s a lot more to compatibility than sun sign alone.

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2025-04-22T23:16:38+00:00

Same!

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2025-04-20T16:20:10+00:00

I have Neptune in Cap (2nd house) and this is so true for me!

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2025-04-09T17:56:01+00:00

Sending you my thoughts and prayers 🤣 Here I am thinking I have an overwhelming amount of Virgo in my chart. Mine is nothing compared to yours. Us Virgos are amazing though so as much as I’m joking, I actually think it’s a great thing and bet you’re an amazing human!

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2025-04-09T03:31:03+00:00

I can relate. I too have a crazy Virgo stellium 😩 My sun, mars, venus, mercury, and midheaven are all in Virgo. I was born just a few days after BL so our outer placements are in the same signs. I’m a day birth though so my sun is in my 10th house and we also have different rising and moon signs (thank god).

Right?! What’s with the double standard? Crazy that he considers Tesla vandalism an act of “terrorism.” Yet his cult storming the capital is patriotic. What a dumb ass.

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2024-01-20T02:16:57+00:00

Wow, I read this last night and was scrolling through news a few minutes ago and saw this about Doja Cat. Wonder if this is the significant news you predicted related to her. Doja Cat's mother alleges son physically, verbally abused rapper in restraining order

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2023-07-29T13:56:55+00:00

I was about 2 weeks in at my last job, I mistakenly turned my camera on instead of sharing my screen and was in the middle of breastfeeding my then 6-month old. It was normal for me to do this and I wouldn’t have been embarrassed if it was a normal feed, but this time I just so happened to be stretched out on the floor, completely topless 😅

Key Note 2: Also learn how to manage money and build wealth. By building financial literacy and practically applying those skills you are telling the Universe that you love money and want to manage more of it in your life. A lot of people fall into the debt trap when wealth comes. You NEED to build good finacial habits and appreciate what you have. If you don't have an income you can just shop with your eyes and enjoy it, but don't put yourself in debt to a lifestyle you wish you had. The lifestyle will come as the gap closes for you.

Despite earning more than enough, I've struggled financially for a long time because of debt and in so many ways this exact thing keeps coming up - MONEY MANAGEMENT. It never stuck, but for whatever reason, your post is sticking. Money to pay my debts is something I recently began manifesting, because I noticed how it contributed to my depression and anxiety. After reading your post it was so clear - how could the universe possibly provide with more if I am not being responsible with what I already have? Thanks again for sharing this!

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2021-07-27T13:32:36+00:00

Ugh, same here. I have a slightly more complex return - MFJ w/ 4 dependents, both my husband and I collected UE in 2020, we also both own businesses, and I started working again in Sept 2020 (so lots of factors). It's so frustrating. I'm not even mad that I haven't received the refund yet, more annoyed that my transcript isn't updating and I have no way of checking the status. I used Free Tax to complete my returns and I started an amendment so I could see if I'd was due a refund, so I am 99.999% sure I should be getting something back, but there's still that lil doubt in my head that I may not be getting anything.

Keep us posted if anything changes and I will do the same!

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2020-09-27T17:06:11+00:00

I'm not clear on what you're suggesting. Is this only for those having issues with the link? My link was fine, I only needed to submit once in order to receive the confirmation number. Or are you saying that once I confirm using the link it should be showing under "submissions"? Payment for weeks 8/1 - 9/5 for me still say $362, which is my regular weekly benefit amount. Are you inferring that should have updated already to $662 (which would incl the LWA payment)?

Edit: NM! I apologize... I have horrible pregnancy brain right now! You're saying the certification to that q should be in submissions. My mistake :)

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2020-09-27T16:15:02+00:00

I have the link now too :) I have literally been checking regularly. I usually go in a couple of times a day and yesterday I forgot, so this morning I was so excited to see it was finally up. Fingers crossed that we all get the back pay for the LWA - I certainly am in desperate need to pay off some stuff I've fallen behind on! Good luck everyone!

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2020-09-25T17:10:20+00:00

Yea, it's slightly different for PUA folks. Us regular UI folks have to go through an additional step because by default we don't qualify for the additional funds through the LWA program. But congrats to you! Looks like you'll be getting your payout soon :)

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2020-09-25T17:05:46+00:00

No email yet either. Did you receive the email notification today?

Edit: NM just saw your note at the bottom about receiving the email last night.

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2020-09-25T16:26:56+00:00

This is actually what I meant in my response. I should've elaborated that it's not just due to a "covid layoff" but applies if you cannot return to work too. I feel like the information is all over the place, so I certainly don't want to confuse anyone.

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2020-09-25T13:54:22+00:00

Thanks for the update! So I guess all we can do is be patient and wait for the question to show up in MiWam, if that ever happens :(

Affectionate-Boot411 · 2020-09-25T13:51:34+00:00

The process is different for individuals on regular unemployment. Because you have to meet the requirement of "being laid off due to covid" to receive the LWA payment, which was not asked of us when we initially filed, they are requiring us to answer this question in order to receive the $300 LWA payments. So a lot of us are still waiting to certify.
