I’m still grieving the loss of my health, my job, my home, my relationships, my resources, my autonomy, my everything. I’ve tried and am still trying every possible healing protocol out there. Too many dark nights of the soul. Water damaged buildings with toxic mold and bacteria was eventually found out to be the culprit behind all my symptoms so please be careful everyone bc I don’t want anyone to go through decades of debilitating illness. If there is anyone out there looking to volunteer their time to help me with their psychic or healing gifts, please please reach out. I would do anything to heal and would be forever grateful. 🙏♥️

Alex, have you ever spoken about trauma inherent in people who are on the autism spectrum?
@mthawke Жыл бұрын
Hi Andrea, just saw your comment on trauma in people on the Autistic spectrum. I am a counsellor who recently discovered I am on the spectrum. I’m fascinated by the link between trauma and autism, and how autism is an evolutionary trait designed for increasing our ability to successfully survive. If you feel like a conversation on this, please feel free to respond to this comment and we can set something up. Thanks Matthew

I’m so glad you asked this question, it would be so useful to explore the link between having autism/adhd and trauma, as I feel it’s not recognised or understood but very much present.

@@anitawatkins3082 My understanding (and I've just self-diagnosed at 73) is that us neuro-divergents live with fairly high levels of anxiety from day 1, sensing that majority neurotypicals can suss out our differences in a crowd, and can come down hard on them. Result: lasting friendships can be hard to come by, community even harder. We only get a sense of those dynamics after we've been diagnosed, and only relative to how neurotypicals present. Basically we're taking on twice the load in trying to figure out how to fit in, which is why ours is sometimes called "the other planet syndrome". I can attest to all of the above. All my elderly health issues have their beginnings in the stress of not ever quite fitting in.... being the perpetual outsider. And I've had loads of counselling in my life, most of which was aimed at trying to fix me.... make me 'normal'. Ha!!

@@mthawke I love your suggestion. I wish I could take it on right now, but I'm swamped with so many things at the moment. I can suggest this video by Paul Micallef who I follow a lot. It might offer some starting points for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hae9h4Kii9OEjZI Andrea

@@andreabuntpercy yes absolutely. Being autistic is invariably traumatic because of the difficulty of living in a society that is not built for us. And that is without even taking into account any abuse or neglect that we may have experienced as children. There are very few autistics who do not suffer with CPTSD, but some do exist and they are able to thrive because they have been raised in supportive environments where they are seen and understood and their access needs are met.

No, they are emotional needs - ie key ingredients for healthy functioning of our emotional body 🙂

@@AlexHowardTherapy Thanks. I agree they are needs, and having them makes us feel more comfortable, just would not define them as emotional. A pizza under a blanket next to a fire feels good, but is not an emotion. Safety is not an emotion. Fear and calm are, but they come from being in a safe place. How would you explain that having boundaries is an emotion? I think we already mix things like thinking and feeling together too much and it just causes confusion to not delineate more clearly. "I feel like you don't like me", for example. I see an emotional need as an emotion we need, rather than needs that will help us emotionally, I guess.
