"Trauma survivors sometimes feel that the world itself has
altered; in severe cases...they feel that “the very
structure of their Being-in-the-world [has] turned against them and [been]
used to exploit their fundamental relationality”" (Ataria and Horovitz 2020) #CPTSD thoughts
Freud on negative therapeutic reactions: "Every partial solution that ought to result...in an improvement...produces in them...an exacerbation of their illness". Hey Sigmund, I'm one of 'them'. But, it's not an 'illness'. And, I'm not looking for solutions - partial or other.
The discourse and debate around intersections between CPTSD, BPD and PTSD tend to overlook this other possible 'origin story'. And, the lived experience aftermath for adult survivors of #csa.
Was van der Kolk onto something?
(Thanks to Anna for this reminder)
"mere speech coupled with the desire to recover is not guaranteed to affect
the kind of profound change at the level of the unconscious required to undo the
fantasmatic introjection of guilt and shame common to survivors of sexual abuse" (Jenny Logan 2022)

Oh...for some, work can exacerbate rather than...the more-positive-other. People living with #CPTSD , the #workplace and #organisations (of any Sector) aren't easy companions.

This is more profound than might at first seem. 'Disease mod' should be the aim/dream. For people living with the impacts of childhood dev'l/complex trauma...surely the offer of mere 'symptom management ' is just a legitimised (!) version of what we've always done. #CPTSD
To mark our resistance to what we believe is a misallocation of funds and attention on World Mental Health Day, we have chosen to spotlight areas of work that aim to genuinely support those living in the silences between annual awareness days.

After the disgraceful behaviour of the tabloid press this weekend, this is a conversation we need to be having.

I wrote the following in the middle of Friday night whilst unable to sleep following that day’s…
A clear case of epistemic injustice?
When adults - professionals and others - frame a situation believing they are doing the 'right thing'. Reinforcing and compounding the toxic impact of silence on a victim of #csatheguardian.com/society/2024/o…
"Once weekly psychotherapy isn't enough."
That isn't a 'needy demand'. That isn't the 'manipulative ploy of a PD'.
With just over 167 hours till the next session...what can help us get through?
Learning and using Internal Family Systems tools?
