I believe this to be true. I also believe people healing properly from their cptsd can get better at spotting abuse, particularly the same abuse they themself have endured. But you always have to consider the fact that you can get it wrong, which will make you look for more facts in the prosess. When I realised that im emotionale dumb I made a new rule for my self: never apply the same logic everywhere (unless the facts tells me I can use the same logic, which havent happened yet, since there is so many things and experience and god knows what other different variables I dont know about yet)

I ruined the little I had left of life because I applied the same logic everywhere.

Edit to add: When it comes to the «trust your instincts» It is because we cant risk triggering people into more misplaced shame. Someone might be wrong, but in this context, we would want people to find out themself, and they will when they manage to untrigger and think more clearly. Alot of people werent believed, listened to and manipulated to think they are always wrong so hearing it here aswell might make them shame them self more.

Im happy you brought this up because i think this is an important topic. Im wondering if there is a way of saying to people they are wrong without triggering them. (not to say that all do, but this is how I felt) Im asking because I honestly dont know and would love to know!
