Laughing through the pain is real, I just learned that. Friends and family usually can't believe what I survived when I tell them and they seem shocked when I just laugh it off. I started noticing it but never really looked into it, maybe because of fear or I just didn't have the need to do it, might look into it more. No toxic family trauma here, but it's also oddly specific. Great vid!

"Laughing through the pain."

This is something I've seen from several comedians who passed due to suicide, the most note-worthy example being Robin Williams. It's ironic how some of the happiest people can sometimes harbor the deepest levels of pain

Patrick is an incredible resource for information. He understands first-hand the challenges of healing from childhood trauma.

Popping in to say I am thrilled you collaborated with Patrick Teehan. I found his family roleplays especially helpful.

So, I’m very aware of one of many forms of trauma I have. “Laughing through the pain” is one of them. As a kid, my sister and I were neglected for my parents drinking and smoking addictions. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day about my father, and the abuses and neglect I endured from him, he stared at me with disgust, and asked “how could you talk to casually about something so horrifying, Luci?” (Luci isn’t my irl name). I never felt so ashamed of myself.

That last one hits the spot for me. Every time i talk about my childhood i am way too casual. I'm personally like, it is what it is, but others dont understand how i'm so casual because for them its usually one hell of a traumatic story. I don't understand why people care, no one else ever did. I have made my peace with my past, so its hard to understand for me why people want to show compassion for shit that happened years ago.

Okay, y'all are really coming THRU with the Omori art 🙌🏽

This video explains me how I feel all the time my childhood trauma always just creeps up on me

[AlfredoGarcia-kf]

I definitely relate to the last one. I just want to say that for everyone who has to go through childhood trauma and the like, don’t give up and just keep going forward. It will work out for you if you don’t give up on yourself 🙏🏼

[krisliebeertje]

The first thing is so relatable to me. I hate myself for giving mixed signals and I'm trying to work on it. It helps to know where it comes from so thank you for that.❤

This just explained a lot of stuff about me especially the one with tiredness trigger because i think it explains why sometimes i stay up so so late alot. Thank you so much pysch2go. Your videos are amazing and very helpful in my long journey to recovery

I have Functional Neurological Disorder which psychological features the dissociation elements and delayed emotions that impact me a lot. It’s very complex and I’m tired all the time 😞

[Hokey-ri]

Very often when I am tired I am getting suicidal thoughts and see no reason to live. For example sometimes when I am so tired and exhausted, mostly emotionally I get physically tired too and think about never wanting to have kids, or not wanting to work anymore or just thinking that I cant take myself anymore and want to be gone. Thats such a strange feeling tbh…

[trinaq]

Thank you so much for your videos, they give me all of the comforting feelings.

[TheFIDASchannel]

Yep, I was the guy shocking everyone with my “funny” childhood stories. Doing therapy now and still trying to process everything. For anybody going through anything like this, stay strong, it will get better with time. If you feel ready, start doing some therapy. Stay safe!

I imagine many comedians like Robin Williams would resonate with #5. "I keep smiling because if I didn't, you'd ask."

[anorbert]

This is very insightful. Thank you so much 😢❤

[laurelfancompany]

thanks for great video! It helps me to figure out how I made my characteristic things. I've always thought I have depression at the base. And laughing off my traumas, too.
