Me too Sister. Your words spoke to my soul. I was driving down the road and was actually going to make a comment but you said it in such a way that I don't think I could ever do justice to. I hope you are well and that you are healing and that everything is okay. That was the fundamental question I had to ask myself an answer. So much love to you. You are worth it :-)❤

It's long overdue for pastors to know how to understand people who've experienced complex trauma. Instead of only teaching and preaching that people who were abused are to trust God and forget and forgive the past pain. And reach for the prize for the high calling in Yeshua The Messiah
@Raminakai2 жыл бұрын
Amen brother. So many Pastors have cptsd and do not know they do. They often treat others the way they were treated..and their trauma response, whatever that was , gets played out on people masking as YHVH. I pray that many more in the body of Yeshua, embrace the healing process He has provided: in intimate relationship with Him, His Holy Rauch guiding and instructing us individually step by step and giving us Courage for each step. Knowing about cptsd, I have new insight as to my experience in church for that last 35 years, and all the folks around me that appeared to have unresolved mental health issues all around me, and tried to cover it up with "spiritualizing. " Shalom🕊

I think the key is not talking, reassuring, and showing a person the path to freedom. It takes someone dragging them out until they feel empowered to function on their own. There is a very distinct difference between pushing and pulling. Anyone can push another. But pulling or drawing someone out to become acquainted with empowerment is successful only if there is someone doing it that they deeply trust....someone to mentor them. Those are few and far between.

The more I hear these beautiful lectures the more I realize how messed up my childhood was. I’ve been on a very long journey. I came here after realizing I have suffered with abuse from my pathologically narcissistic mother. Of course this led to three pathologically, narcissistic partners. Once you realize that this treatment of you is not acceptable, you won’t except anything other than humanity. Treat me like I am a human. I am a human. But it is so empty. I’m all alone and not abused. Is that considered a success?

As a child I remember it as - if I expressed a need, I would get scorned at meaning punished but If i didn't express it and stayed quiet they would meet the need, physical or materialistic in nature... but emotional need weren't explicitly made to meet. I ended up growing up as an extremely quiet person whose voice was not known even to her classmates and colleagues. Over a period of time I have started speaking but it was a process where I felt extremely embarrassed about whatever I spoke. I am a lot better now but I have still not learnt about expressing my needs.

Very well said! I felt validated when you said that complex trauma can’t be healed magically by music and meditation and other such stuff. It gives thoughts to apply but which mindset works for you is completely individualistic. We all get wounded in our ways. It’s completely subjective experience and the response to it is also individualistic.

Borderline personality C-PTSD, pseudobulbar affect, and then add CKF makes me have a hard time working through life. Alaska is difficult to find a good doctor. You have helped me a lot. And I share with my therapist and psychiatrist so we can work towards healing. I am 68 years old and somehow have stayed alive after having divorced 6 husbands and both of my children live far away from me and have little to nothing to do with me. Your discussions have helped sooo much with living with someone I went to high school with who has the same problems as I and this has helped more than anything else to help me see and understand myself, him, my family and the people I come into contact with. I am not perfect but I see much better. THANK YOU!!!

@GrossstadtAlien what you said describes my family. My father was a narcissist - he is fully into end stage alzheimers now. Without having heard him say this directly, i guess he experienced neglect in his upbringing. Father died at age 10, mother struggled to make ends meet. I don't think any of his siblings ended up as he did, but who can know for sure. I have worked all my life shuffling through the aftermath. All my siblings have to some extent i guess, both me and me sister (oldest 2) in particular. I recently, and finally, got a diagnosis of cptsd at the age of 53, at which time I found Tim Fletcher. His videos are gold. The sins of the father....

I spend a lot of time on KZbin over the last decade and it’s my primary source for content. As a medium, I have only come across a couple news organizations that have paid subscription models and I was pretty disappointed that this series was behind a paywall. Game companies have moved to “free to play” models which a lot of people criticize, but that work well for the user who does want to pay and the one who doesn’t. Offering options that are better for a subscription, but the best free models only offer cosmetics. Drawing this analogy to the content here and comparing to others on KZbin, most use a patreon and make quite good money from that model, and that reminds me of free to play models for videogames. I know you all may do as you please as far as how you distribute content, but my feedback is that this was seriously disappointing finding out the series is teased in this way. I don’t mean any disrespect by this, but I hope you’ll consider the feedback in terms of distribution of certain series. Thanks much. I can tell you’re a kind person and I know you are doing your best to make money and help people at the same time.
