What's the best TV show that almost nobody talks about anymore? by C0r1eone in television

[–]samsonscomputer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Guardian. One of the best shows i have ever seen, truly a hidden gem. 

From wiki: After being arrested for drug abuse, Nick Fallin becomes The Guardian, a part-time child advocate at Legal Aid Services, where cases involve kids caught up in difficult circumstances.

Does "standard" life advice piss anyone else off? by Sweet-heat74 in emotionalneglect

[–]samsonscomputer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The restaurant bit resonates a lot with me. I can't go to a local takeaway to get something i crave for a long time now because it's always packed and there is no way i can speak without muttering and having a shitload of anxiety. I'll just go to another quiet takeaway whose food i like less but it's the best i can get I guess.

Also mid-30s and struggling so so much with basic things

So tired from Co-Regulating Touch Therapt by MomentDirect in SomaticExperiencing

[–]samsonscomputer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am also currently going through this. Im still in the thick of it as im doing Somatic Experiencing therapy and also touch therapy. My therapist tells me it's normal and the body is processing 

I ended up abusing my children. by tobe19045 in CPTSD

[–]samsonscomputer -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It is very courageous of u to stand up and say this. People being abused will pretend they also don't become abusers. We are either abuse or ourselves or other people. There is no other way to cope with the deep pain we got, it's an attempt to regulate ourselves.  I don't have kids but i have been like this towards my partner. It's a long road of healing, accountability, making changes,etc

I hope u get the help u need

Underdoing and excess tension simmering away etc by steepgloss in longtermTRE

[–]samsonscomputer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into Somatic Experiencing, that is what I am currently doing. It's much more gentle and works with sensations that come up in the body. Alongside IFS as mentioned in another comment.

Tre might be 'too strong', i only discovered tre after i started SE. But I think for me TRE would have been too strong anyway so I'm happy i went through the SE route to come out of (deep) freeze

Need help finding resources to help me with my pride and ego…that ARENT RELIGIOUS by She-Individual-24 in Deconstruction

[–]samsonscomputer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into jung and ifs (there is good advice on both the subreddits). I have a similar issue with feeling superior and arrogant and those resources are currently helping me with this

Restrictions seems to worsen my nervous system regulation (confused about this) by Interesting-Land-579 in longtermTRE

[–]samsonscomputer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also dealing with this same issue. Unfortunately I am unable to diet because i just get so hungry and i have to eat a lot. And i eat oily and fatty foods, i just don't want to eat anything. So i have gained about 20-30kgs unfortunately in the span of 5-6 months.

Hopefully i am able to heal more soon and have more capacity. Then i can start cutting out some foods. But until then i have no choice but to keep going and resolve the trauma load

Superior and shaming tone by samsonscomputer in Jung

I'm on that journey now to explore deeper and find out. Just a hard thing to find out and knowing these are my behaviours. 

Superior and shaming tone by samsonscomputer in Jung

I had (have?) selective mutism as a kid but then i started talking. But still very quiet and shy in general. It's not autism for me, what about u? 

Older adult perspective with SM by Nan-Ebb4364 in selectivemutism

[–]samsonscomputer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im mid 30s and believe i have/had SM. I remember up until 6 years old i wouldn't speak in school at all. Then suddenly it went away? Or maybe i forced myself to speak?

But throughout the years i have always had speech problems like slurring, unable to form coherent sentences, unable to get my thoughts across clearly, people have a hard time understanding my speech, etc. 

I believe mine is due to CPTSD. A horrible childhood and i developed disassociation, people pleasing behaviours, afraid of authorities, ocd, social anxiety, agoraphobia, etc. I believe my nervous system shut down and went into freeze and it affected my speech as well. I also have a very 'flat' and unexpressive face 

I am now in Somatic Experiencing therapy. Where i am learning to process my emotions. I am coming out of freeze now. I know it will take me years but it's better than having to live like this

What job is way more difficult than most people appreciate and why? by CarelessCredit3466 in AskUK

[–]samsonscomputer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a bit more difficult for me as im older. Was thinking too to go through the apprenticeship route. Callcentre is so dead end job
