Long time ago, in a faraway land, when I was a medium sized lass, I hurt my back. No one actually figured out why it happened. Looking back I realize, 50% of it was depression and the rest of 50% was because I couldn’t lie down horizontally at night because of said depression. Only way I could get any sleep at night was if I curled up like a ball and used pillows to prop me up. Never told any one this, even the doctor who treated me. Cause I felt like I did something wrong and it was my fault.

This my very roundabout way of saying that don’t treat/raise your children as if they can’t come to you with their problems without feeling guilt or shame. #mentalhealth #parenting #trauma

"Growing up around so many deeply conservative, deeply religious people, I think that's trauma, in and of itself. I think a lot of people in America are dealing with that now — because I think being deeply conservative & traditional in your values is child abuse.

"[When growing up] ...I had to...be able to sit with myself and think, you don't deserve to go to hell just for existing, no matter what anybody has told you."

#LARB Radio Hour talks with #PankajMishra about his new book, "#TheWorldAfterGaza: A History”

"[H]ow the legacy of the Holocaust has shaped the contemporary world order, including how it has shaped the government of #Israel, and the current war in #Gaza. The book grapples with how, within the relentless violence of the 20th century, #trauma can lead to #nationalism, and also how one #genocide can lead to another."

⭐ It's possible to address traumatizing topics without creating #trauma in the process.

🔁 Our free game ADRIFT is an example of that. The game is about #consent but is appropriate for all ages. It's a quick game so you can replay it if you don't get each scenario correct on the first try.

🖼️ It was even re-created for the MOD. museum in Australia.

💜 April is #SAAM.

#Sucht sehr möglich!
und mE ein vererbtes, antrainiertes #Trauma aus WKII, als D keinen Zugriff auf Rohstoffe insb Öl hatte; PLUS die tradierte Erfahrung des #Wirtschaftswunder|s mit "dein Grubengold hat uns wieder hochgeholt" und #Erdöl, Automobilindustrie mit Privat-PKW als Zeichen u Garant des Wohlstands.

Jedenfalls ist #Fossilismus so lange sich selbst bestätigen praktiziert und wiederholt worden, dass eine starke #Angst zu überwinden wäre, um sich zu lösen.

#Trauma may leave #epigenetic marks that are passed to following generations. Some preliminary evidence for this hypothesis comes from a (relatively small) study with Syrian families. Mechanisms unclear. But think about how this may affect historical trajectories of, e.g. countries traumatized by war. nature.com/articles/d41586-025

www.nature.comCan trauma from violence be genetically inherited? Scientists debate Syria refugee studyStudy finds genetic imprints in three generations of Syrian refugees. Researchers urge caution in interpreting findings and call for replication.

It's always conflicting to post an #Azov video, but this one is worth it.

Australian MP breaks down in tears as she speaks of the genocide in Gaza

‘As my baby slept peacefully next to me, I saw images of Palestinian babies, their feet poking out of the rubble.’

Over 792 Palestinians have been killed since Israel resumed air strikes on Gaza on 18 March, ending a ceasefire with Hamas that had lasted almost two months.

We've just enrolled in the Solidarity Apothecary programme, Herbalism, PTSD & Traumatic Stress Course.

It looks brilliant and we're looking forward to starting.

There are some really flexible payment options, including a solidarity price. Be sure to read about them: "the core principle is simple: people on low-incomes pay less and financially-resourced people pay more."

Zionism Must Be Dismantled

“What this has evoked is a deep questioning amongst people who must ask themselves, where do they stand on the question of evil? Because I believe that what we've seen in Gaza is evil. You cannot describe it in any other way.”

"Another difficulty one encounters is that, where there is a secret in the family that other members are unwilling to face honestly, then in my experience the unfortunate patient can be blocked from progress no matter what experiential therapeutic approach is undertaken. In these cases, through family therapy or by whatever means, it is essential to try to open up the hidden area and collusion going on within the family where it is often seen as necessary to hold the patient in his or her sick and painful state as scapegoat and guardian of the secret.

It would be nice if this work were simple and straightforward and just involved the experiencing of one traumatic event, but then life is seldom like that, and, in the end, it is worth going through the full rigors of therapy with the person so that he or she fully experiences all that has been blocked, even if this takes several months or a year or more, rather than condemn the person to a lifetime of chronic illness, constricted lifestyle, or even suicide and death, for these are the alternatives."

How does one recognize whether or not what one experienced was narcissistic abuse?

It's not like one can ask the hypothetical abuser. They will deny it. Is learning about the patterns of narcissistic abuse and subsequently recognizing how they show up in one's lived experience the best one can do?

I find that a very unsatisfactory conclusion but it does seem like the best one can do. I probably lived in a relationship with at least narcissistic abuse patterns. And the unsolvable ambiguity of it all bothers me.
