As someone who suffers with extreme severe anxiety I can totally relate to her. I would stop eating for days at a time as a punishment. I worry a lot about my life, everyone around me and pleasing everyone. It's absolutely crippling, so glad she got the help she needed, lovely young lady it's so sad that society has 1 in 3 people suffering mental health issues. I hope everyone seeks help

Help us to understand how people can be so selfish and mean ..on purpose...with zero remorse ....self centered to the core....

[stevewalker]

Life is simple when you don’t have to deal with People..

[debbiesday]

Wow... I have every single one of these signs. I feel so burned out and I used to be a person who could feel deep joy and felt everything deeply. Now I feel like a ghost walking around. Thank you for the helpful information.

[simonacoppin]

Omg, this is so spot on. I just don't want to be here. I gave up on everything. I am so affected that now my health is affected.

[katherinemnusa]

I relate to this so much… I have been traumatized all my life.. I am 71 and it has come up like a horrible nightmare. After learning all this I have come to the realization that I traumatized my oldest Son. The pain is beyond me…I am in so much grief, pain.. I cannot escape.

[karendelgado]

You are describing me. I need help. Feels so hard to find outside of social media. Therapists aren’t seeing patients in person which I feel I need. Thank you for your work 🙏

[rosepuff]

This video resonates with me soooo much. I’ve struggled with anxiety but also suffered from fatigue, bad acid reflux and even abdominal pain. Now that I’m older I realize those were physical manifestations of trauma. I’ve been in therapy since 2021 and it’s helped a lot.

Places that are triggering - I've been systematically trying to revisit places that are triggering to try and reclaim them for me, to actively overwrite the negative memories and triggers with positive memories and experiences. Hardly an exact science but it's been working so far! It changes the focus from the past to the here and now if that makes sense. Some of the other points on the video made me want to hide behind a cushion however! One step at a time. Thank you for posting this.

[susanhartman]

I walk this to the T. I am 63 years old trying to work through this. Thank you for your informational video.

[nourishheallove]

All of these symptoms all of a sudden popped up for me about 6 months ago and I've been deeply struggling ever since. It's like I was living behind a veil and all of a sudden reality has hit. Feels like my whole body is shutting down on multiple levels.

[amysbees]

I know this may not be relevant, but I have to say how much I LOVE the room you're in! Its so dreamy! I especially love the de Gournay wallpaper!

[jessicacoe]

I hope someday you share your experience. Thank goodness I found you. My father was an abusive, mentally ill attorney and my mother was loving but histrionic and very self focused. I also have a masters in psych.. I was determined to marry and give our child and his three from his 1st marriage a safe and beautiful place to grow up. We had the “perfect” life until he went to prison for 10 years for bank fraud. He was the VP of an institution during the housing crisis. I was suddenly a single parent of a 7 year old with no child support. I cried for 4 years. I have every single symptom you talk about. I do feel like I have social anxiety.. and I’m a very social person! I’m trapped in a nervous system that is just frayed to bits. Thank you for your work. I did not work in mental health but went back and got a masters in teaching to be able to be with my daughter and so I had interaction in my work with people (children) that satisfied my need for human connection. Otherwise I’m paralyzed in my life

[Dee-Ann_Louise]

You just helped me connect something else for me.
I had attached huge meaning to the city of Toronto here in Canada. It was the place my birth father was before he came back here to Vancouver and died 3 days later. I believed that Toronto killed my dad. (Even though in my adult brain, I knew he was already really ill and would have died had he had not gone to Toronto.) I don't know why I didn't realise that as a trauma response.
Thank you, Dr. Kim. New healing just happened.
You are a blessing. ❤

[GrrenStone]

I know all about this PTSD sadly. I have panic attacks all day and now weird phobias from a life of abuse. Now my body is hardcore falling apart so I'm slowly dying. Horrible. If only people had been kind, especially with me being high in

[ifitdontapplydontyoucry]

I went through trauma as a young girl with no father to protect her. And a working single mom who needed attention from men. A girl child is not safe without her father.( i realize there are always exceptions). That being said, when i learned to truly forgive both parents, i stopped taking other people's bad behavior personally. I only thought about what I learned and could have done differently. I forgave myself for the things i did to cope. After becoming a wife and mom, I owed them to face that hurt little girl and teenager, and tell her goodbye. I told her, "You are not that girl anymore." God is my father. He was there the whole time, i only needed to learn my worth that was not taught to me.

[stephenie]

Thank you, so much cPTSD resources are childhood related, which has been really unrelatable for me.

[evachapman]

Thank you for this awesome validation. You just described my 52 yrs of existence. You are helping so many people with your videos. I think so many of us spend years feeling " crazy " because we can't explain our behavior, our reactions. It is amazingly powerful to watch this video and for me to feel seen and understood. As messed up as my Mom was, she taught me knowledge is power. These videos make me feel powerful, thank you ❤

[cathychase]

I totally can relate - every single thing. I do go see doctors and dentists - but all the rest 100 percent. I feel like family and love is truly "too good for me"

[jaydenp]

I’ve experienced major traumas one after the other my whole life with the majority of them in adulthood. Now at middle age and health is declining. I find myself feeling completely drained and wanting to give up.
