I needed this today. Yesterday was the anniversary of when I ended a very bad relationship. This time every year always comes with nightmares and sadness. I’m thankful for the place I am in now in life but even 7 years after the most traumatic night of my life I still have very fresh feelings about it.

Recently started reading a book called "Your body remembers what you wish to forget." Really helped me realize that I'd never gotten past pretty much anything in the past. I'd only learned to think that I move past things. But I never realized that I have to help my body get past things too. The human body is such a fascinating thing. Mind and body are considered by most to be two different things, but neither can work properly without the other. If one of them works worse, so will the other.

Take care of yourselves, fellow people of this planet. You have the power to change your life. You have the power to find the happiness or closure that you deserve! You deserve to be one whole, instead of two split halves that want different things!

The abuse & abandonment used to cause my crippling self doubt. I love you guys

The trauma of my mom's passing, in addition to being lonely caused me to have a mental breakdown on Saturday, plus my bookshelf broke. It's been a tough weekend for me as my godsister died last Thursday, which triggered it. I have depression and Attention Deficit Disorder.

i just want to once again express my appreciation for Amanda Silvera. her voice always manages to make me feel so comfortable and even relaxed! definitely could listen for hours

Everything resonates with me except for the anger. What I've been through makes me feel less than the others. In my mind, I can't be irritated or angry about anyone, but me.

My trauma is me leaving my gf and her doing something bad to herself, me and my friends going on a walk at night and knocking on someones door and them pulling an axe on us, and some other guy the same night at our door with his hands in his pockets with a knife and I had to protect 3 kids while crying and having the police on hold and my friends holding weapons and stuff to hold him off while having everything locked. I cant sleep or get over those days/nights.

I recently had a trauma wound reopen a few weeks ago. I feel the big black dog of depression bearing down on me. Upon introspecting, I have concluded that I have trauma with being rejected and ignored. Sounds petty, but that's my trauma. I check 4 out of the 5 signs, I still get good sleep in thankfully. Good vid as always Psych2Go, it always seems to be relatable.

Wow, the segment on 'intrusive thoughts' struck a deep chord with me. After my car accident, it was like my mind became a theater playing the same horrifying scene on a never-ending loop. Each replay was a stab to my soul, making me relive the trauma over and over. It's comforting yet heartbreaking to know I'm not alone in this struggle. As the saying goes, 'You're only as sick as your secrets.' Thank you for giving voice to what many of us silently endure. 🙏

As a person working recovery from addiction, knowing our trauma wounds and triggers help the healing process. This mindfulness and using healthy coping tools help to build an awareness of our emotions and pains when they arise. When these wounds reopen we may process them in healthier ways with proper tools and a community of love, support and understanding. Still a work of progress here, but not giving up.

Diagnosed with PTSD. Parents didnt get along . They fought and argued all of our lives. We children didn't live with them until I was in second grade. 2 brothers belonged to Dad. 3 girls belonged to Mom and Dad. We were always being beat with a belt and yelled at from day one. We never knew when and what we had done? They had hair triggers. I don't recall either one saying I Love You. No problem as long as we didn't fail in school. I was 18 when I got my last belt whipping. I was married by 19 to somebody they hand picked since I was 15 and not allowed to date except for the ONE they picked. When I got free from them, I was controlled by my spouse who was a cheater. Finally divorced after 6 1/2 years. Once I got my FREEDOM, I WAS RUNNING WILD AND DID A Lot OF LIVING FOR 10 YEARS.There were always nightmares of their abuse! I'd try from time to time on to reconnect. Mostly during holidays. My oldest brothers would come and Dad and oldest brother were getting ready to have a fist fight in the house. I got between them. Dad accused him of being ON SOMETHING? I told my brother to just leave. I was next to be forced to leave. The rest of siblings said I should have stayed out of it! My dad passed at 78 years and I thought his behavior will never get to me again. The nightmares continued!! My brother passed at 72. I'm 77 today. My mom passed at 99 last month July 2023. Thoughts of being hit in the face with her fist became to the front of my mind . I'll never get over what they did to me. I've planned my funeral because Moms was a circus and lies in the obit. I've written my own obit. Mom's obit said that my brothers were my mother's maternal children! She never claimed them and would be mad about it! Family choosing sides and not speaking to each other. Very uncomfortable. I've limited the number of people who can come to my funeral. I have a new little grandson and I hope he never tries Ancestry look ups . Both of my ex-husband's side and his grand father's are screwed up! His paternal great grand mother was raped by a uncle and never talked about. The son that came outta that was adopted by a good man who gave him his last name. My son and grandson do not have one drop of blood of their last name! It was the name of the man who adopted their grandfather that was the product of insest 😢

I resonated with EVERYTHING on here. My divorced parents are the reason for my trauma not healing. My mother was abusive toward only me when I was growing up (I'm the middle child of 3 between my parents.) I didn't know then and I still don't know now why I was the target of my mom's abuse so bad. I have to talk to myself a lot to get the intrusive thoughts out of my head, I have real bad insomnia that I had since I was 13, and I can't control my emotions to the point where I'm physically taking my anger out on my husband when I know I shouldn't do it. I'm even hypervigilant because my mom would attack me so badly both verbally and physically, and I can't go anywhere without my anxiety flaring up, with or without medication. When my Dad remarried, his wife was and still is a bully and would make my Dad do things that he didn't want to do and would harass all 3 of his kids to the point where I couldn't take it anymore and distanced myself from anything having to do with "the family." I feel bad for her sons. I was basically my family's scapegoat and I don't understand why.

Ah all of it it's relatable. Especially on nightmare part. I have no problem on sleeping but whenever i sleep, it's always the nightmare where i will always fight back with my parents. Sometimes i feel like, im not really sleeping with these kind of nightmare and making me tired (like im not sleeping at all). It does drive me crazy once in awhile to go through a day

[Zereth_Marson]

I really needed this video today thank you. I been going through allot lately and recently had a mental breakdown at work. I been feeling very wounded emotionally and If it weren't for This channel I would still be lost and confused. I'm still healing and I'm glad that this channel exist.

[thelamekitsune]

I just had these experiences a few weeks ago. I didn't know what was going on with me then, but now it makes sense. Thank you.

[snuset]

I really thought I was getting better since 2022, but watching these type of videos and relating to most of these signs made me realize that maybe I haven't completely healed yet. I really hope all the people that are going through the same thing will get better, you are strong : )❤

I ended a toxic relationship about 4-5 months ago, and I’m trying my best to recover. The toughest part for me is trusting both myself and others, even my friends. Went to a new school, and now I have new people to hang around; people who are out there and happier and don’t constantly bring me down with their own problems. I am very grateful for them
