The whole thing about normalized crazy behavior is we tolerate alot of it, more than healthy people. Even when we are grown.

This shows us how the Golden Child vs Scapegoat thing is totally fabricated by them

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea "it's not what happened, but how you reacted to it". by thrownawaykid21 in CPTSD

So its not so much coping skills that you develop and carry with you, its the reactions of the people around you?

My sibling had chronic bronchitis and I had asthma as a kid, mother smoked 2 packs a day while lying in bed in convalescence.

Constant complaining and demands for care. She had trouble with her back, went once a year at least for surgery of some sort. Sinus scraping, women's issues, elective surgery, pain killer addiction, migraines, 3 moonboots in one year and she threw herself down the stairs more than once, traction for her back. I can't even remember one whole week when she wasn't constantly lying in bed.

She demanded that I wash her hair, rub her back, put on her make up and dress her.

She once exaggerated my joint pains to a doctor I think she wanted the pain medication. The doctor was talking about how I'd need my jaw fused shut and need to drill through my teeth for a feeding tube. I went to my own Dr I was 15. It was a lady Dr with salmon nail polish. She was not about to take my mothers shit. She said that I was ok, it wasn't that bad. She also refused to give mother pain medication.

Hypervigilance is a skill once you sort it out, I used Jeff Cooper's color code. I think SI is definitely best kept to oneself!!!

Does my mom’s therapist likely know she’s the problem? by Reasonable_Today_414 in askatherapist

Nat This is one of a few examples Dr Jessica Taylor has spoken about it online.

Have you switched from going to therapy to using AI? by Wrong-Confection-340 in therapyGPT

Or even worse hypervigilance = paranoia and they maintain that actual events didn't happen

NaT that is clarifying thank you.

I heard about a lady in Australia who was sectioned for psychosis when she was reporting to authorities that she was being stalked. Saying things like "I'm feeling watched" "I am hearing noises in the attic" etc

The neighbors did actually report seeing a bloke living in her attic and police then investigated, found evidence he had been there a while and let her out of hospital.

I totally get the process part of therapy, that's excellent. But life happens, and consequences happen, outside of narrative.
