Dr Maika, any psychological tips about coping with trauma from Genocide inflicted on children and women of Gaza ?

[@DrMaikaSteinborn]

This is an important question 💗, and at the same time, I'm not sure I can give a satisfactory answer in a short comment. It may take long, deep conversations to really arrive at a helpful conclusion. I'll try my best, though. For the people who are directly affected, who have witnessed pain inflicted upon or lost a close person, or who were directly abused themselves, the best option would be to seek out psychotherapy sessions with a mental health professional. I realize that due to accessibility issues this is not a realistic option for everyone. In that case it helps to write about what's going on in your inner world. Many studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of journaling on mental health. For everyone else in the world who is witnessing this from afar, therapy and journaling are helpful, too. In addition, it can help to do something (even if it's small) to help the victims.

Been through anxiety, rumenance, depression only to find out i got low self esteem and only accepting what pthers think of me and say about me rather than what i want and what i am.

How do I “allow” / open my mind to see the positive side of myself when the negative filter been in place for decades… I still didn’t made my brain to see any positive trait of my own 🙈 ( there must be but I do not see it/feel it )

[@DrMaikaSteinborn]

It starts in your head, and then with practice, moves into feeling it, as well. On this journey, you'll have to tolerate the dissonance of the old rebelling against the new. Over time, that goes away, but at first you'll feel a lot of inner resistance to seeing and feeling your strengths and value. All the best 💖

We all want admiration from others, don't we? To some extent, all of us want status, good reputation etc. So how is it that wanting these things indicate counter attacking my emotions? What is actually healthy in this case? I am someone who wants to achieve great things in life and I do want admiration from others. But I also feel like others opinions influence me easily and I don't have that strong of a self worth because of which I'm struggling to find what's really right and what's not.

[@DrMaikaSteinborn]

Yes, 💯! It's absolutely human & natural to want to be accepted, admired, loved and to belong. This in itself isn't a dysfunctional coping mechanism yet. It's counter attacking emotions, when these goals come from a place of feeling deficient, unlovable & not good enough. This means wanting to achieve will become a mechanism to want to become good. When performance comes from a healthy sense of self worth, it's an expression of your values and inner enthusiasm. You feel good enough and want to share what you have to give with the world.

[@eytschmaen]

Can't get rid of the notion that "self-worth" is merely an illusion, as it depends on the subjective perception of an individual. Otherwise great explanation, Maika!

On improving your core beliefs of yourself.. words or affirmations Will not help? Like.. There is no way of actually believing that if you are indeed a hyper-sensitive person who often become the victim of bullying both as a child and in your workplace or friend groups? Its like they can sense it and your so used to it you go along with it. Damn

[@DrMaikaSteinborn]

Words and affirmations can help, but you'll have to see which ones. Sometimes it takes a bit of rethinking to figure out which words and affirmations can help you personally to permanently change your core beliefs.
