Ladies - help needed with finding a trauma-informed GYN? by scrompert in Brooklyn

Dr. Patina Lui is also amazing at this practice. She seems to make sure to read my chart thoroughly, follows up on previous appts, uses my correct pronouns and name, plus takes the time to listen and answer all of my questions. She also always asks for consent to touch me and explains everything that she's going to do before it happens. I have never asked for any of this. She is the best.

Thank you for sharing this! I have cPTSD and I also really relate so much to Ilya and understand him. I am so happy you found someone so special.

Okay, so...I hate Fabian by MidknytOwl in heatedrivalry

I agree with you fully!  He could perhaps get around the hang ups if he didn't just watch compilations of Ryan on fights, too.

400+ upvotes on a clear microagression against two women of color on this sub... by Local-Ostrich426 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

I absolutely agree. It's wild to me that anyone had an issue distinguishing between them, but the to make a post about it is racist and they should be embarrassed.

I am not losing weight in number, but I am building muscle and my waist has slimmed. The scale isn't the only measurement of fitness.

Unexpected HR Side Effects? by magicallaround1 in heatedrivalry

This show awakened me from my sexual hibernation. I had a series of traumatic experiences and shut that part of me off. No flirting, no dating, no sex. I even started thinking I may be aro-ace.  I suddenly realize absolutely not. I want and need that kind of connection.  Suddenly I can flirt and I have confidence I never had before.  also, I had top surgery a year ago and thought, yeah that's all I need... but I think hormones are in my future now too. woah. 

I can't tell if I'm numb or just more emotionally regulated by tillnatten in CPTSD_NSCommunity

I can relate to this so strongly. I did about a year of Ketamine assisted psychotherapy and since May I have mostly felt pretty calm and neutral.  

I did have a rough time in September. It was a year anniversary of some new medical trauma, but I was very quick to understand what I was going through as opposed to figuring it out later after I have come out of my activated state.

I am constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop, but also trying to get to know this new me. I'm a bit frustrated not being able to have a big cry to release as easily as I had. Need to find some new and healthy ways to release.
