This sums my ex and his upbringing. Getting to understand his mother and how she was, explained everything. I had to leave. Hurt people hurting people

I just found your channel as trying to get healing for my addictive behaviors! You answer SO many of my questions of why I am the way I am. Thank you! I have CPSTD from when 15 being gang raped, 5 marriages, multiple abortions, last marriage to abusive naracsisst, lost 2 homes and everything. Been moving about every year for 15 years. Been seeking healing, Christian ministry, regular counseling for 20 years. Better than I was but still paranoid, no trust, lots of physical pain issues. Using kratom, not much now, but dependant on it to function without pain and aniexty. I'm 66 now and so frustrated that this seems so overwhelming to tackle. Suggestions for getting healed of all this. Started with my naracsisst abusive parents

Thank you so much for this very in-depth talk and review. It makes me feel validated and I’m like, “Yes, that’s me.” Or, “You get it!”, when going over all of the details. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and with all of your information and the way you explain things, I feel good and assured taking notes and viewing many more of them.

"Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you don't feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!"

I have come to realise that true healing began when I stopped blaming others.. It put the power in their hands, the counsolers hands, and all it was doing was identifying the root, yet when accomplished with a blame narrative, it kept the pattern repeating.. I learned it's a 3 part process.. 1.) Identify cause and patterns; 2.)process and forgive myself and the others; 3.)Establish extreme self honesty on how to take responsibility for my life; free from victimization and blame(no matter what) True empowerment is possible once blame, shame and guilt are forgiven. I give all credit to GOD, Jesus, and the will Spirit gave me to face the music and Rise again!

I believe all can find peace and healing .

GOD Bless all on the healing journey

Hello Dr Snipes since your session on Codepency ive really had the desire to dig deeper into behaviors ive been demonstrating along with the temptation to IGNORE" them too ..im happy that ive decided to go deeper in this session youve Once again hit the 🎯 as to where these behaviors are coming from or could be coming from (Ive vot a long way to go I bet ) but with the proper information and awareness that your sessions provide i believe someday i will be healthy-minded again and excited about life! Thankyou Dr
Snipes your making a difference🌅

Thank you Dr. Snipes. I truly appreciate & learn so much from your videos.

[patrickhanson]

Oh goodness, so true and pointed as always Dr. Thank you once again. If someone with long term trama, addiction, detachment etc could get closer to their own reality (change crisis, crisis change) not easy and slow. Your insights are focused, and helpful on the path out of BDP.

You make us traumatised
CSA/child sex trafficked child-adults feel seen and understood. I can't get any DBT in my state for at least a decade. I've bought all the trauma books but although having intelligence I just can't read them. BUT seeing you and your content makes my life have some hope and compassion for myself and life. Thank you Dr Snipes (and family) Sincere gratitude XO

Someone is quite intelligent. This is quite relevant to relationships or lack of relationship, in my immediate environment/living space. This is impossible to know, unless their were spiritual influences, dictating which titles are made available to select. And, I am aware of algorithms and relevant ads and videos. There is no reason for this video coming up, available for me to watch.
Thank you for sharing your time and supportive messages with me.
All my love dear one.
Namaste 🙏🙏
