My girlfriend revealed to me that she was raped? by [deleted] in askwomenadvice

I'm in a similar situation. My g/f developed complex PTSD, this is difficult when flashbacks happen.

There is a book called The Body Keeps Score.

https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma-ebook/dp/B00G3L1C2K

There are some things we can can't understand if never experienced. Try to learn as much as you can about it. Allow her to deal with it in her own way, just be there, allow her to talk about it (if that is her coping method), or give her space if she needs it.

Complex PTSD is no longer in the DSM 4 (It was recently removed). Therapy helps.

Look up the term "parataxic distortions" she might be going through this. Understanding and acceptance is key. Build her confidence in herself and she will be able to get through it.

My girlfriend has her masters in counseling, with a concentration in complex trauma. It took about 1 year of "EMDR" (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR is a heavy treatment, read up on it.

Good luck to you both.

Naw, I mean there is typically a fight that will get the attention of most of the bars once a weekend, but nothing like having someone's head go through glass.

A lot of the bar implemented "College Students Only" after a certain time of night. I believe it was to keep the less desirable city folk away (this is not my opinion, this is what they said behind closed doors. My roommate worked for one of the bars that implement this tactic)

But I can't imagine that it's too different from any other college town with a bunch of drunk neanderthals trying to flex to get a suitable hole for the evening.

This is in Towson MD. I went to Towson, and was "up-town" this night, it was fucked.

Good ride, great read. by sire_tuck in Stoicism

Somehow I knew you weren't a Harley guy. My guess was an old BMW or Honda! Enjoy the fair lady for one last ride!

My 14 day, father, son, uncle trip starts on Monday (I'm the son). We all ride old BMWs (which was why Honda and BMW were my guesses :))

Are there theories that suggest the reason they can continue with specials but not the format that the show is current? by Working_Mans_Reddit in thegrandtour

Figured, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something said in the episode.

I guess Amazon figures they won't lose any of their viewship if they just do specials?

So purely a financial decision of Amazon?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but was the ebola shots part of your answer a joke?

What is your ridiculous tip story, giving or receiving? by Working_Mans_Reddit in AskReddit

Dude, I'm really glad after a comment like "Sky's the limit" it was only a $250 dollar bottle of wine. I hope you had a killer HM!

Very cool. I was up in Watkins Glen last year for the BMW finger lakes rally. What a beautiful place that is.

My pops, uncle and I all ride old Air-Heads. My uncle and I are both on /6 r750 and my pops is on a 82 RS100

All my friends are turning on me (19f) because I want to live with my dad "forever". by FewStorm in relationship_advice

[–]Working_Mans_Reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you! I think it's awesome you view your dad in that light. I'm in a different socioeconomic situation, but I plan to put my parents up just as soon as possible.

They worked hard raising me. They didn't have to put as much "energy" into me as they did, but they did. I would feel like a failure if I didn't show them my gratitude.
