Sir I cannot afford therapy and have mostly encountered "talk" therapists, that's why I am so grateful for your amazing channel and your suggestions! I have just started but thanks to you at least I know what I need to work on....

I have even asked previous therapists for "homework" but the most I've gotten is the "breathe deeply" and generic meditation exercises. Otherwise it's just been talk that leads nowhere. So sad.

As an epileptic with so-far uncontrolled seizures, I'm stuck living back at home with my very dysfunctional, perpetually disappointed parents. I've recently gotten into the habit of talking to my inner child at night and reminding her as well as myself that we're going to make it, and it's true for all of you too.

We're going to make it, guys.

When I was 19 I left my abusive dad. I moved to California with my mom. I had made the decision, started packing, and I left. I told my dad I was leaving and he said “well you could have asked” to that I replied “I’m 19. I’m an adult. I don’t have to ask you for shit”. He looked at me like he was in shock and like a month later I was gone. Once I was gone I didn’t see or talk to my dad for like 3 years. Getting out of that situation was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.

"We don't talk enough about what happened to people."

This is so so true ❤

[cyndeepokorny]

The part where you said the inner child watches the adult and says “I knew you wouldn’t” when you don’t do what you say you will……….. hurted. 😓

12:16 I remember watching a very interesting japanese movie (Incite Mill) that had a character who had issues with alcohol and had a hard time staying consistent with his sobriety. He was telling another character of this struggle, and his response was essentially this:

"The key to quitting [drinking] is not a long term plan. You have to decide each morning that you won't drink for that _one_ day.

My father had problems with [alcohol] too. But he managed to abstain, one day at a time"

And for some reason this really struck me. It was the first time I ever heard of this, and it can really work for anything. I never had any luck being consistent about a habit when I planned to do it for a week or even a month, but just deciding to do it just for that _one_ day and then just repeating that decision the next morning helped.

#6: Even with a disability, it's crucial to move your body and get out of your head. I am disabled, and was so disconnected from my body because of c-ptsd. Reconnecting to my body together with therapy has decreased my pain and disability with 80%. At 50+ I have started to believe I will be healed, it was all trauma! There is always something you can do, if it's just visualising lifting an arm...

Financial limitations can stop the leaving but sanity is priceless

I feel so blessed to live in Australia. We can get 20 free sessions with a therapists if we go on a mental health plan….you don’t have to have a diagnosed mental health condition to be on a plan…just to keep your mental health well.

The peace of 4 years of taking space from the toxic system ended abruptly when back in contact with several family members. I felt so hopeful for connection, that everyone had grown and changed. I've grown and changed and it was a dissapointment to find myself tip-toeing around the old familial attitudes of toxic comtempt. The system has a life of it's own, with expectations around staying in one's assigned roles. The Scapegoat can never go back.

[lavendergooms]

I told my aunts about my experience living with my parents without realizing it was toxic and abusive and they immediately had me move in with them. I found your channel shortly after I moved and I’m starting on my journey of inner work, thank you for making this channel and everything you do! I’m glad I got out and I’m glad that I learned that life won’t always be so difficult and unstable ❤️
