A broken bond between parent and child may result in relational trauma which affects how the child sees and treats themselves. This article looks at how self-compassion can help those living with relational trauma and struggling with self-criticism. https://t.co/AIeDOfZz9J https://t.co/i74BEBvSyO

Self-regulation describes how we manage our energy, feelings, thoughts, and actions effectively. However, many CPTSD survivors struggle with emotions they do not understand. And they may fly off the handle without knowing where these behaviors originated. https://t.co/FwD3VZqv8R https://t.co/vCtBxhU793

CPTSD stands for Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It's basically PTSD that lasts a long time, where you're constantly in fight or flight mode, and your nervous system is totally fucked https://t.co/2o2pJgDUgD

CPTSD stands for Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It’s similar to PTSD but develops from long-term, repeated trauma rather than a single traumatic event. This can include things like ongoing abuse (emotional, physical, or sexual), neglect, captivity, or exposure to chronic violence.

6/6 Bullying has lasting effects. In my case, I suspect Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (cPTSD) as it built upon childhood trauma. cPTSD can make it hard to trust or relate to other people because these events often involve other people harming you. That’s not a euphemism, either.
