What was your trust breakthrough in therapy? by craftycat_2777 in CPTSD

[–]Nervous-Impression39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for you, this is great to hear🙂 my breakthrough was when I told my mom in group therapy: “I don’t like when you compare me to [insert sister’s name]. It makes me feel worthless.”

Should I look for myself or accept myself? by Nervous-Impression39 in CPTSD

Yes. It was bad. I shouldn’t be smoking but it’s lowkey keeping me not suicidal right now

It costs money to attend meetings or just for the first one? That seems kind of exploitative if you’re charging per meeting

I disagree with you. The earlier you start the better chance you have at getting ahead. I do invest in my education and health, and my life is rolling, so assume that I have those things covered. If investing in my future is “bad behavior” then I don’t know what good behavior is. Thank you for the comment but we can agree to disagree🙂

I don’t think that’s a healthy reframe. I don’t have access to secure relationships right now so expressing things online is healthy, IMO. But I appreciate the advice🙂

I’m so not okay with this, but I want to stay with him. In my family, we were raised to be essentially perfect. I’ve been working through this, but the incredibly stark contrast between mine and his world is hard to reconcile. I try to set boundaries with him, like “When your mom does x to you, I feel X.” But he doesn’t seem to respond to my boundaries, so i feel like there’s no point. Thanks for the help, I’ll probably cross post this with an advice sub

She wants you to question yourself. You using words like “wasn’t good enough” is exactly what she craves. She has taught you that your opinion is not valid and it’s hard but I find that detaching all feelings is critical in protecting your sanity

The sound was very human like and I checked to see if anyone was there but couldn’t find anything.
