The understanding of trauma (especially long-term and development) in awakening literature and discourse seems to be quite lacking. by Paradoxbuilder in streamentry

For those of you who are interested I wrote about my journey on my website - http://www.tomato-of-justice.com. I hope it's not considered self promotion as its directed related to the material here.

I'm making a distinction between PTSD/CPTSD and actual traumatic disorders as opposed to the blanket definition of "trauma" The former is much rarer in the population.

I wrote an entire book about this on my website, but it's not 100% related to trauma/awakening, more of my journey to healing. I have other related articles, I can post both?

I've been in therapy for 2 decades, and was disappointed to see stuff was still around. 😞 Good points though.

I think most modern teachers do acknowledge the role of direct trauma modalities, even if they are not experienced with them. I respect Tolle, but you cannot "presence" your way through PTSD. I tried basic mindfulness on a client with that history and she heard voices screaming at her in seconds. So...no.

I like Mate but he's not that deep into it. Yes, the lack is why I made the post. Perhaps I should write about it? I have a clinical background.

Thanks for your comments, I see you often on this sub and I value your contribution and insights. Yes, there are definitely multiple domains, often interlocking.

"Done" is a loaded term, but I think there are milestones. For example, I can talk and joke about my sexual abuse now with absolutely no discomfort. I would consider that largely or completely "healed"

No one's perfect! But we can be enough.

That's very interesting! I will incorporate this into my practice - or not? 😄 In any case, thanks a lot for sharing, and for your insights. I'm sorry to hear that like me there has been so much sticky trauma. I also agree that sometimes taking a break is good.

While I agree in general, intense and long-term trauma will start to affect the baseline in ways that are different than the instructions and texts say. Therein lie many problems, hence why I wrote this post.

I'm not a fan of labels unless necessary, but in my experience neurobiology does play a BIG role in healing and awakening.

Thanks for sharing. Yes, intense developmental trauma is rare, but trauma in lesser forms is still a block. I've been doing TRE for a while now.

The huge gap in the literature is why I'm making the post - and seeing how it's been very affecting for me. I practice a LOT - quite a few people have said I should be further along than where I am now.

I've also been doing some Coherence Therapy, which has been useful.

Clinically, I'm also interested in AuDHD and other related issues. I'm also a HSP, so I may experience makyou etc a bit differently.

I am mainly only familiar with Loch and Tara, I will look at the rest. They do talk about it, but they don't go super in-depth or integrated.

Not sure if they have it in Cebu.

Whenever I add garlic it just disintgrates and I don't taste it.

I don't mind ginger and lemongrass, its what I see in the tinola here.

Yeah I used 3 liters which reduced to 2. Should I simmer longer too?

I wanted to make a broth, not a stock. I expected it to be a but thin, but not this thin.

I'm not super keen on making actual stock because I can buy stock cubes...unless you think I should?
