Dang what a coincidence I was just thinking of my childhood trauma and not being taught how to deal with emotions

I’m giving everyone in the comment section a hug 🫂

I have never felt like I had childhood trauma. I always felt emotionally neglected, kinda lonely and misunderstood but I thought that it was just how my parents are, and I always tried to make them proud of me, even though I never shared my emotions because I felt that they never valued them enough. So I became a people pleaser, not making my own decisions but trying to make people happy around me enough to sacrifice myself constantly, and my only tip to cope with emotions was journaling. I started at 9 years old, with no knowledge of it as an actual technique to cope. I just thought "I like writing, I will create a safe space with no rules to express everything I can't say or I don't want to say out loud". To anyone who feels this is relatable, I'm currently 27 years old, I still write, but definitely not every day or even month. Just when I feel like it. And it's so wholesome. I have gotten to love myself, now, and me from the past, to feel accepted and understood. It absolutely works. I still need some therapy but if you can't have it for now (for whatever reason), writing is a good way to cope. Just remember. That's your notebook only. Yours. No one gets to read it completely. It's your safe space and there are no rules. If you want to autoanalyze yourself, do it. If you feel like drawing today, do it. If you feel like writing a poem, do it. If you feel like scribbling, do it. No rules. Only yourself and your emotions.

I can't help but smile at the fact that everyone in the comment sections of Psych2Go's channel can talk about what they're going through in life without fearing what others will say, because literally everyone is going through something to the point where judgement is out the window.

Excellent video. My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her

"Realize it's not your fault". The other hard part to this personally was forgiving myself.

Beating yourself up of things that you can't control.

Never have I clicked on a video so fast.

[Reptilianway]

Needed this. Due to my dads alcoholism, and a lot of fights with my mom because of it I've developed ptsd, and the other night it triggered really badly. Glad this video came to be

In my childhood I was happy and cheerful until a series of bereavements. After that I was never the same. I suppressed all my emotions because it was too much. Only now I'm slowly recovering. Learning that it's okay to have emotions. That's what makes us human. What's a natural thing for someone to sing and dance is something for me to get used to again. Emotions are like a wave they go up and down. I just gotta get back on that surfboard and try to catch a narly wave.

I love and respect my parents but emotionally they weren't there and that led to me being emotionally numb and led to me bottling the good and the bad things I go through in my life. Till this day a lot of people are even scared to talk to me cuz of my coldness and my emotionless side. It's good but bad at the same time 😶. As I'm watching this video I'm still emotionally numb and thanks for uploading it 🤝

The devalidation of my emotions was a big one, or feeling like I cant do anything I want. So I stopped caring in my adult life, which has become a big problem I now discovered. emotions may not be logical or triggered on purpose, and that suppressing the feeling that they are not valid hurts or itself is "childish behavior". It got to a point of when I bottled my emotions until I have a panic attack, but writing now helps me a lot. I wrote a quote down one day that stays on my mind. "live free with care, not a care-free life". I want to feel free with what I take care in, not devoid of the ability to care or be free from it. Caring is not a Burden, but the necessity of choice.

I try to avoid everything that makes me feel stressed, and now I want to avoid life itself. It's always only painful.

After years of putting it off, I referred myself for talking therapy. Months of being on a waiting list later, I now have my counselling starting next month.

[OnafetsEnovap]

I needed this 20 years ago. 😢Still, better late than never.

[outlawdingo]

Someone told me when I was younger "always love your mother no matter what" and I have been conflicted ever since.

Hopelessness is just a feeling, not a state of being

Unfortunately, some people experience trauma throughout their lives! Whatever the case, good luck to everyone because we all need help of some kind at some point, and hopefully there will be someone there to pick you up! I wish a happy ending for everyone! Goodbye!
