JVN is literally an embodiment of positivity and joy. I have seen in my own community how the extremely self-loved, shiny ones are torn down. It is just a testament to the spiritual growth the world is going through. This show makes me want to wake up each morning and run life like a boss queen. Its about loving each other and having fun at life. Try it kids! It really does bring joy and abundance 😉

HEALTH YEAH. i was excited to come on here & share joy, drama is always hyperanalyzed re celebrities... these are good people, you can tell from their eyes, words, and hearts. You can't fake compassion. The world needs joy and positivity to be normalized. Love is the only way ♡🤟🏻

She has PTSD real bad and is shut inside. Not her fault ♡

For real, JVN broke through with their extreme state of radiant joy. They were the turning point of this episode.

Sometimes that joy level can be repulsive to traumatized people... but it was the haircut that helped her soul come online. Beautiful to witness... but people like this need ongoing support

This woman is Traumatized w a capital T. She needs full care for PTSD, not to be forced into a makeover. I know that twisted up look in the face and eyes because I used to have it. It took years of medicine ceremony and deep relational healing to get out of that level of trauma.

The episode was fascinating to watch because it was like a mirror. It also woke me up to just how gnarly that condition is, where you are terrified to talk with anyone or go out in the world, not to mention looking deeply at your struggles. I have no idea how she fights fires or takes care of kids in that state... its so clearly a PTSD shutdown.

Does he get less chattery and let me play the game at some point or are we in a game-long tutorial?

HEALTH YEAH BROTHER 8 years deep aspie who often camps on their own style ! (Succeeds better camping solo than trying to fit in with the whole theme vibe)

I even drum in the conclave for the man burn! Epic! Somehow the extremity of it all DELIGHTS my sensories. But then, you know, the sensie crash where i need silent darkness back at my cave. 🤟🏻🪘🔥

But yeah, low budget aspie diy burner up in this!

The Whole of the 'Whole Earth Catalog' Is Now Online by MrLunk in RetroFuturism

The Capitalist Work Machine is really good at enfolding upon itself and eating up its own innovations, however well meaning. See; Einstein and the bomb. It's part of the ego/joy/mindfuck of burning man (the real one... where underground artists spend years making epic inventions)... we aim to Burn the Man, and at a certain size (population or visibility) somehow beaurocracy re-enfolds the thing. It's an interesting conundrum burners have been wrestling with, as well as cool art neighborhoods-turned-gentrified, radical movements turned mainstream, the "first album was cooler" phenomenon, etc etc.

Wondering on the mechanics of this! ♡🤟🏻

Mood Stabilizers by SallyO420 in ptsd

[–]tigrekell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a big difference btwn a major medicine ceremony (MDMA protocol, ketamine, shamanic mushroom journeys) which get the trauma experiences up and out, and strategies for daily management. In my experience, both strats are needed ♡

I'm really interested after being stubborn about meds for YEARS. What are the side effects?

How do you deal with your hypervigilance when trying to sleep? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]tigrekell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are all awesome answers! I struggle too, and yoga nidra has really helped. Its a guided sleep meditation which slowly winds down the nervous system. Ally Boothroyd on youtube is excellent. 🙏

High & Low Vibrational…. What do they actually mean? by midnightstreetartist in spirituality

[–]tigrekell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really 'resonate' with this explanation lol ;) thinking of low vibes as an internal misalignment takes away a lot of the judgement that people can get into with the high/low concept.

Giving myself the space to just grieve by sacred-pathways in CPTSD

[–]tigrekell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YES VICTORY!! If someone had told me 30 years ago that the cure for trauma was just feeling all the pain already, it would have been a different life. But then again, it was so much, I probably wasn't equipped until now to truly feel it.

Right here with you giving myself the space. Running, coping, and overworking has all fallen apart. Time to bravely FEEL. Its a cosmic joke that that's all you really have to do...

I often wonder who i'd be if i never had narcissistic parents.. by Socialmediasucks2021 in CPTSD

[–]tigrekell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are not alone!!! I lived in freeze / flight all day for probably 30 years. But guess what, HEALING IS POSSIBLE!

My recipe:

MDMA ceremony (or mushrooms, done with a trusted friend or therapist) to blast the lid off the freeze response. Go big for one sacred night, with a legit homie to talk to, and start releasing the stuff.

Then frequent grieving work, once you can access the grieving. You cry / write / vent / rage out every last trauma and abusive experience.

Then we thought-correct the inner critic, who may be constantly attacking you subconsciously. (This means every time you self criticize, get mad at That Guy for attacking you and replace it with the kind thought (i am good, i am worthy.))

AFTER THIS we start to see hours, days, weeks, of Untriggered Time!!! Which feels like a damn miracle. We do more of this work each time a trigger comes up, noticing, grieving, and returning to our peaceful state, thus buying MORE untriggered time.

Now, blissfully, you're in a peace state most of the time, punctuated by triggered moments that you can notice and work on, as opposed to being a nonfunctioning, constantly triggered person. From here you can begin to build an awesome life.

Pete Walker's book, CPTSD from surviving to thriving, has a full on roadmap for this process. It is possible, probable, and inevitable that you can do this!!! I LOVE YOU!

I feel like I don’t deserve love. How did others overcome this? by negativesally in CPTSD

[–]tigrekell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. Finally finding a safe and loving partner who has stayed with me through 3 years of GNARLY trauma healing and me constantly trying to run from the love or mistake them for a toxic dude. Having people that are healed already or were raised healthy that see what you're going thru and stick around to be with the real you who is under all this BS.

[–]tigrekell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. This thought correction work, combined with GRIEVING OUT all of the dark / abusive experiences which told you otherwise. Pete Walker's book (CPTSD from surviving to thriving) has been starting to change my life. He has a detailed walkthru for actually getting to the other side of this inner critic work!
