I recently connected with Alex Abraham, an author with a powerful story about using psychedelic plant medicine to work through childhood trauma, and I wanted to share a bit of his story and approach to healing with you today. #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #cptsdchat #cptsdblog #blogger #becauseweareworthit #traumainformed #traumahealing #healingchildhoodtrauma #plantmedicine #healingwithplants #follow #share https://lnkd.in/g_E6DZVz

On the evening of Election Day 2024, I was so emotionally invested in the outcome that I couldn’t sit still next to my husband as we watched the coverage unfold. Instead, I paced around the house shouting, “We are on track to win!” #cptsd #cptsdfoundatino #cptsdchat #politicsandtrauma #trauma #becauseweareworthit #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #traumainformed #follow #share https://lnkd.in/gYAE_3Ji

Choosing a career is a significant life decision, and for many, it’s a journey filled with self-discovery and growth. However, there may come a time when you find yourself questioning if you’re on the right path. If you constantly feel unfulfilled, stressed, or dissatisfied with your job, it might indicate that you’re in the wrong career. #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #cptsdchat #becauseweareworthit #nonprofit #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #follow #share #life #lifechoices #career #careergrwoth #selfdiscovery https://lnkd.in/gCvuBUE6

“Mom, Dad doesn’t love you… or Spenser. He only loves me.” “That’s not true, sweetie, why do you say that?” “He doesn’t treat you nice.” I looked down at my 5-year-old boy. His innocent eyes stared up at me while he declared his truth. Inside, I fell apart. #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #cptsdchat #cptsdblog #blogger #blog #family #survivors #relantionships #life #healing #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #nonprofit #follow #share #protectthechildren #protectingchildren https://lnkd.in/gi9ZdGT2

There is a man who lives in a large drainage culvert that goes under a road near my home. He has been there for nearly a decade. You see him frequently, standing out on the sidewalk at the large drainage pipe going under and across the road, smoking a cigarette, appearing as if he is enjoying, most certainly barely enduring, the moment. #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #becauseweareoworthit #cptsdhealing #traumainformed #trauma #blogger #guestblogger #follow #share #mentalhealth #healing #healingfromtrauma https://lnkd.in/gGCXiMf5

Over the past month, I have been exploring different solutions to help with anxiety and panic attacks in the workplace. I covered breathing techniques, mindfulness, and grounding techniques, and how to build an anxiety-busting tribe…but what if those solutions are not enough to help you gain traction in your workplace performance? What if you need more? #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #cptsdchat #nonprofit #mentalawareness #mentalhealth #worktrauma #workplacetrauma #anxiety #worklife #empoweringworklife #empowering #blogger #traumainformed #follow #share #follow https://lnkd.in/g877SH2U

TRIGGER WARNING!!! * * * * * For many survivors of childhood s*xual abuse, the journey toward healing can be fraught with discomfort. The body often becomes a site of trauma, a vessel that holds memories and sensations tied to painful experiences. The complex relationship between the mind and body can make living in one’s skin feel like a challenge. #CPTSD #CPTSDFOUNDATION #Traumainformed #cptsdchat #becauseweareworthit #mentalhealth #healingfromtrauma #lifeaftertrauma #ACES #childhoodabuseprevention #mentalhealthmatters #triggerwarning #survivorship #follow #blog #blogger #share https://lnkd.in/gfsBfWhp

We were perfect for each other. Or so I thought. His love for children, our incredible chemistry, he seemed to know how I was thinking, what I liked, he made me feel like I had “come home.” I had no idea that this was his usual MO, like a game, for him to figure out what he could get from me and how he could get it. #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #cptsdchat #mentalhealth #becauseweareworthit #healing #time #nonprofit #mentalhealth #follow #share #blog #guestblogger #storiesfromlife #healing https://lnkd.in/gRPfuzbe

Bouncing = inability to focus, bouncing from one chore to another, unable to complete even the simplest of tasks due to severe anxiety and depression. One of the most painful things I have suffered with for a large portion of my adult life is something I call bouncing. #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #cptsdhealing #depression #survivor #nonprofit #traumainformed #becauseweareworthit #bouncing #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #follow #share https://lnkd.in/gF-mq8fH

My name is Elizabeth, and I am a survivor of CSA and trauma. I have come a long way in my healing journey, but I want to share with you that I still have bad days in the middle of the good ones. It is part of the healing process to feel myriad complex emotions, and even though it may not feel like you are making any progress, you are! #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #cptsdhealing #cptsdandtrauma #traumainformed #trauma #complexptsd #suvivor #suvivorshealtogether #nonprofit #community #suvivors #becauseweareworthit #follow #togther #share #mentalhealth https://lnkd.in/g7T-bduH
