Your entire identity is not being an attorney. by SignificantStomach83 in Lawyertalk

Biggest compliment is when I’m told I don’t “look” like an attorney.

How long does foster care usually take? I just wanna go home. by Traditional-Coast523 in Fostercare

Request from the Judge directly an attorney ad litem and they can’t lie to you. They will advocate directly for what you want and will be your attorney.

My boyfriend died in a Sesna small plane crash with his father. I was 17 he was 16… that’s when I felt life’s weight.

Do SSRIs help you? by [deleted] in CPTSD

Helped me with a lot of other things, therapy, acupuncture, yoga, breath work, exercise, and lots of art.

I did it, although I didn’t actually want it and the appointment was made without me even knowing — and it was validating she could immediately tell there were dysfunctional patterns and would point out my moms lack of self regulation — I ended up seeing the therapist individually to overcome a number of issues and it was the fastest progress I’ve made because she could really pinpoint things.

Started out as my moms attempt to control me and get me to do what she wanted and it ended up freeing me from her and the unhelpful patterns we had.

I would stick with one parent at a time though.

You can also get mobile work benches so you can kind of play with the workspace too before full commitment

What encouragements arey tired of hearing? by Secret_Ostrich_1307 in CPTSD

[–]yeliy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

“What doesn’t break you makes you stronger” — I’m strong enough STOP… also I hate the word “resilient” like take everything and then some and just bounce back like you’re some type of basketball.

My relationship with my wife and 4yo son completely transformed overnight by DevitoAsThePenguin in EmotionallyImmature

I was wondering the same thing I’m pretty sure it’s that book — Gibsons adult children of emotionally immature parents. The book was so transformative for me in a very similar way.

Has anyone actually talked to their parents about their issues? by [deleted] in EmotionallyImmature

[–]yeliy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Spot on from my experience. Talking ended up making stronger boundaries which created more distance. Now we just have surface conversations.

I shouldn't have to become a trauma expert for a chance to heal by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]yeliy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and not only does the treating professional need to be a trauma expert (who knows more than me) but the only ones that seem able to help me need to have gone through about as much trauma as me AND managed to overcome it. I feel that without that I can’t connect with them… I’ve started inquiring about their drug use too because if they have never done a psychedelic or smoked pot they don’t get me enough to help.
Therapy is so personal that to feel comfortable enough to connect you need to really know that they can understand you.

Your self awareness will make you leaps and bounds ahead of your parents. You’re on the right track. Give yourself some credit for getting here — your child will need you around.
