Too many people with Childhood PTSD are held back by trauma symptoms that damage their ability to envision their future, form positive work relationships, and maintain the focus and physical energy needed to get ahead. But healing from your trauma symptoms frees you, and allows you to use the determination and inner resourcefulness common in people who were. abused and neglected as children. In this "best of" compilation, of my videos on the subject of work, I teach the most important symptoms to heal, and share stories from individuals who were challenged on the job by the wounds of their past, and learned to overcome them.

When my husband went to law school it was just me working, then we took custody of his youngest brother, who was starting to go downhill behaviorally. We were BROOKEEE lol! I went to a gallery opening that was super fun and literally just asked to speak with the curator of the show in order to ask how to be a part of it. He saw some of my work on my phone, we got to chatting and I found myself having regular spots in the shows as well as running my own small table at art meets. It didn't pay a ton, but I learned to just seek out opportunities and ASK. I helped me earn some "quality of life" income and maintain my sanity while working, putting my husband through school and raising a teenager! It was tough but the skills and confidence I learned in just putting myself out there were priceless.

[@forexdynamicx]

In third grade, I faced failure and had to repeat the year at the age of 7. It was traumatic to see my classmates move ahead while I stayed behind. My parents attributed it to my passion for drawing, something I'd been doing since I could hold a pen. I remember crying and asking my siblings if they had experienced the same. Gradually, I started feeling inferior to my peers. I stopped drawing, distanced myself from friends, and became quiet in class, always choosing the back seat to avoid attention. Despite repeating the class, I faced another failure. Fortunately, my school allowed me to pass to the next class after my mom pleaded, but the real learning happened in grade 4 with a home lesson teacher. I wasn't dull; I just lacked the support I needed. Over the years, I lost myself, but I only rediscovered my love for drawing two years ago at the age of 20. Repeating a grade didn't teach me anything; it only brought shame. Realizing this after watching your videos and engaging in self-reflection, I appreciate the journey. Thank you! I'm hopeful about reclaiming my self-esteem.

Healing from my childhood trauma actually resulted in my changing careers entirely. I was stuck in an executive assistant position I hated, and I gradually came to see that I was wasting most of my talents, which people had been telling me for so long and I sort of understood, but which I couldn't figure out how to change. For years, I just didn't know what I wanted to do. Now I'm in grad school to become a clinical psychologist, and I'm loving it. For the first time in, well, ever, I'm excited about life, about connecting with the people around me, and with the subject matter I'm studying. And I just love people in all their uniqueness. The best thing is that I can use both my brain and my heart in the same job to help people who suffer deeply, unlike what my father told me for years, which was essentially, "Just get a job that will support you. It doesn't matter if it's soul sucking." Nope, Dad, I can actually do something that contributes to more than just a paycheck and that actually makes me feel great while I help others feel better, too." That's golden.

If I had to describe the affect CPTSD has had on my life…..It’s like I’m watching a fun merry go round and everyone is having fun on it. Every time I try to get on, I’m flung off, can’t get a place to hang on or find my footing. I watch even children easily get on and off but I just can’t seem to even do what a child can do.

I worked at a phone service job where we answered tax questions and they taught us that people can hear the smile on your face. It's true. If you go into a phone call happy, it makes the call so much easier. I still use that in my now other job. I've got good interactions on the phone, even with people who are emotional or even angry. I can almost always turn it around. So much of the advice given in this video is spot on. I love it.

Yes, when I’m on a call, it really is possible to make someone’s day a little better…and it’s always a joy and surprise when i get a positive customer service rep on the phone 📱 and I always make an effort to acknowledge them and point out how friendly/positive they are Thanks for your comment

Anna I just had the first realization Friday that my managers treat me like my ungrateful, thankless, never satisfied mother. They allow other Business Units to crap all over me and do not protect me while I try, try, try to please them. Like my mom, they are ungrateful, thankless, toxic people. No matter what I do and how hard I work and how much I accomplish, my managers will never be satisfied. Realizing this Friday is why I am aggressively looking for a new role within my organization.

Trauma from a horrific relationship that I was trapped into multiple times....has destroyed my innerstanding of myself. It's completely disabling.

[@PhoenixAurelius-138]

I have often wondered exactly how I developed CPTSD, since my parents weren't exactly abusive or neglectful (though, they were/are both very traumatized themselves). The money issue is definitely a huge influence, I'm starting to realize. I don't even want to think about money most of the time, maybe because it's too painful to remember that I was bullied in school for wearing shabby clothes, or the fear of having friends come over because I would be ashamed for them to see how I lived... It seems so silly now, but I can see how my ideas about money came about, and how I get such anxiety when I need to make a big purchase or when an emergency comes up. I'm always trying to take the cheap route, which often ends up with me spending more money.

[@daisyviluck7932]

Partly it’s about learning the difference between thrifty and wise, and being cheap. 🙂

Selling your art takes marketing, it’s a rare artist that can also market their work, setting up shows, websites etc. I sold thru galleries for a few years and within 2 years I burned out my true creativity since I found I was painting lots of work just to sell, galleries generally take 50% of the sale price & because I wanted to keep my prices on the low side (so real people could afford it) and still make enough to scrape by & keep buying supplies I burned myself out. Generally the “starving artist” has always been a truism - do your art for you & not to make a living, find a job that connects to your other interests things that inspire you & will only grow your talents ~ at least that’s the way I and many wonderful artist friends have experienced this - Van Gogh never sold a painting in his lifetime many people only gain a following by persisting for decades because they are passionate about their continual creative exploration. Best of luck!

[@A.Montgomery]

This is super relatable. I’m a healer, artist and have an interest in permaculture. I spent my twenties and early thirties pursuing making a living at that. I got sober and an opportunity presented itself to help open and run a chain of cannabis stores. I still do healing (strangers cry in my arms often), I make promotional materials and I get to work in a beautiful setting with my plants everywhere 🌱 I pull these talents together to help run a successful business and have never felt more fulfilled in my work. You’ll get there darling, you just need to let your assumptions about yourself and your art go, there are opportunities if you’re open to them ✨

Thank you agin for your valuable informative teachings! Sadly, I've been at the same low position for over 10 years now for varied reasons, but not for lack of trying to promote. I've used your daily practice for nearly 2 years and do EMDR therapy, which has helped me gain more emotional sobriety. However, I still have massive anxiety when interviewing for a promotion, regardless of the constant self-love I extend to myself, or the numerous classes, youtube courses, power of positive thinking, or analyzations I've gone through. I'm fairly certain that my prior work reputation is what keeps me down and I will eventually "need to move out to move up", which is another story altogether. 😢

[@kikki2012]

That sounds like a good idea! Anxiety is a bitch! Tip: look into Irene Lyon's free resources and courses. She has a unique approach to healing the traumatized nervous system beyond EMDR, therapy, and writing. Somatic experiencing is part of it. I wish you all the best!

Great video! I’m trying to be more organized but it’s a sore spot because every thing had to be in its spot but away nicely, growing up. My parents came over to my house once and one pair of shoes was by my bedroom door. They both put me down because of it. Never comment how clean my house looked and smelled. And I had just cleaned the day before. But kept on about the shoe. One thing, one thing out of place. I stopped being sooo neat. Clean yes, neat and organized no.

I related very much to the competitive narcissist coworker. I had a coworker/friend for 15 years who treated me just like this. She ran me down for a long time, mostly focusing on how stupid my prior career (which I loved and wanted to return to) was. Yet she constantly took classes filled with students who wanted to be in that career, always complaining about how foolish they were. I didn't understand why she took so many classes in a field she hated, but then one day, on one of the many occasions she blew up and insulted me, she threw it in my face that she wanted my career for herself. That was the last time we hung out. She saw me at a grocery store in passing and thanked me for "all the information." The truth was that she was pumping me for information that would lead to her getting everything I had lost. I was shocked that I never saw thru her.

[@truthsleuth945]

Getting enough sleep is really important to me. However, it's not uncommon for me to have the type of dreams, whilst sleeping that 'showcase' my CPTSD. I also have plenty of hang ups and self-defeating habits during the day but feel I am starting to break unhelpful cycles and turn a corner mentally now. Thanks for all your amazing content! ❤

@crappychildhood fairy. Do you have any videos or advice aviht someone who always looks dishellved ? I have no self esteem to wear much nice clothes, I always feel too tired to do anything neat and tidy with my hair and make up. I'd love to be this made up, professional person. It instead no matter how early I wake up, I can't bring myself to look in the mirror and spend the time to look presentable. Is this a common thing for people that have cptsd ? I wash, or shower. I clean my teeth and I go to work, the girls all looks so fresh, awake and tidy. Then I rock in, looking so "untogether" I get too over whelmed with how to look, what to do.... And it's a self esteem thing. But I am on probation at the moment for three months... I started off looking clean and tidy with a made up face, now I am over stimulated and over exhausted that I can't activate the motivation to put effort into my appearance. Is this a thing ? My mother and father never looked very put together either, but still... I am 38 and I know better. The people can do it... I get up at 6 am every single morning yet I lounge around till the very last minute and then rush out the door 😢 almost being late sometimes. Why do I do this ? I think it's a disassociated feeling. I just numb out and play on social media and mindlessly scroll untill I need to be somewhere... Or evev now. I should be in bed but here I am avoiding my bedtime, even though I know I need to be up at 6 am. Can you please talk about why I rock into work, looking and feeling so insecure. It's awful I feel so ashamed when I see my Co workers looking polished and tidy. I actally feel embarrassed and I blush about my unwashed hair and bare face and unruly brows. But still...... I can't seem to start being a person who has the energy to have a good routine

I'm resonating with a lot of these trauma symptoms and this is not the first video i'm watching of yours about this subject and i find myself always in these videos except i don't have a childhood trauma i had a normal childhood i think ! So my question is can someone have a trauma from a previous lives like he's born with certain trauma that he can't even remember if you believe spiritual theories?! Thank you so much ❤

[@mellifergold]

There are also theories about inherited stuff in the DNA - Like if your grandma was raped during the war , even though she never told anyone and you don' t know about this, you might carry it inside of you as if you yourself experienced that trauma.. So you don' t even have to take on reincarnation beliefs, the carried over unresolved trauma of your ancestors lives on in you...

[@freebee9172]

@@mellifergold thank you for your insight even the accuracy of your exemple is real one of my deceased grand mother was a servant in house of noble she was so pretty as my parents say so she could be a subject of sexual harassment in that house i don't know because i was born with a complex i was always avoiding any kind of contact with the opposite gender i've always been afraid if boys, men in general i never knew why ! Now I'm starting to understand a little bit what it might have happened in the past.

[@mellifergold]

@@freebee9172 Oh boy , I am sorry to have hit the mark here.. - so much suffering... For this particular " theme" to hit , you don' t even need a personal story - as apparently we also carry collective trauma / karma ( ? )... -Over the centuries so many women were badly suppressed, violated , beaten and broken by men that every woman alive now on some level feels something of that - some perhaps just very faintly , for others ( like you perhaps ) it is a tangible thing, a living threat so that they avoid men altogether...

I said no, but they are only .69¢ nothing really there to complain about she said she wasn't complaining she wanted to speak to my manager got all that free food and I got fired...thanks to my son I have disorderly conduct on my record so no one who hires for customer care background checks brings it up 😢 so I can't work dealing with people though. not my fault she should of done 69 instead of home base and avoiding having all them kids 😂🤣😂🤣

[@Crownd1_]

It's a little late for me at 63yrs old, but you're absolutely right. In fact, my trauma held me back to the degree where I wouldn't even take the chance to advance in life. I always believed that I was just good enough to be a laborer my entire life, which I was. My conscience told me to use my back and not my mind to make a living. ✌️😎

[@Latoree33]

I'm going on 70 used to lift 100 lbs of flour when I was younger, but now I'm finding people that I click with that are willing to understand and be patient with me. Don't get me wrong I still get triggers but it just makes me stronger. I've learned to accept people the way they are and do the best I can. I'm going to a soup kitchen and going into volunteer work maybe it may lead to other things but all you can do is try. We all have a better outlook once we try something new. It's a leap of faith. Best luck to you

[@gayathryrajeev7606]

I hope this doesn't sound presumptuous, but it's never too late to heal - and healing is a gift both for yourself and others. You could have a wonderful life forward, and you could also help younger people toward a healthier path. I come from a culture that respects age and experience, and while I've come to the realization that everybody ages but not everybody grows, it is heart-warming to see older people too, realize that they have healing to do. That humility takes courage, and I wish you the best

[@Crownd1_]

@cheriequinlan9444 I was referring to my career path. I am now retired, living on Cape Cod and enjoying life like never before. Like you, I not only know myself better but love myself better than I ever have. Life is good and many new doors are opening for me. I thank God for everything. 🙏🙏🙏✌️😎

I have a customer service job that has no upward mobility in my position but it pays more than any job I can get with a stupid B.S. ( bachelors in science) Isn’t that wild?

[@CarrieMHB222]

Yep. I’ve been an easy target for people who would take advantage of my vulnerability. I feel that the workplace puts such a spotlight or magnifying glass on anyone with mental fragility. It’s hard to learn how to play the game and compartmentalize everything in your head while simultaneously trying to make wise decisions.

[@mtaylor7307]

Have you considered trying a support group that meets regularly, maybe even on Zoom? Finding a safe place of support outside workplace helped me. I used a 12 step for codependency online and then got into a trauma support group that my workplace EAP (employee assistance program) found for me. Also on zoom. Treating and making decisions that I would make for a best friend...for myself...helped me also overcome some boundary issues. Its easier for me to picture how good outcomes should go if I picture a good outcome for friend; then, I take that action for myself. We are our own best friend, after all. Best to you!

[@CarrieMHB222]

@@mtaylor7307 I had no idea there were support groups for the workplace. I have never considered any 12 step group either because I didn’t grow up around addiction. Didn’t know there were 12 steps for anything other than addiction. I’ll look into these groups you’ve mentioned. I already spent a year and a half in a DBT group, and I’ve had my personal therapist for over 5 years.

@@CarrieMHB222 Good to hear you are already participating in counseling and treatment as part of your healing journey, and checking out resources here on KZbin, like The Fairy. It's important to always prioritize our selfcare! Most employers starting from a medium company size offer an Employee Assistance Program or EAP /EAR that will give a free set number of phone counseling sessions that are confidential, not reported to your employer, which will not only discuss with you any topic, but will help locate other resources like counselling or support groups with options, like work with your insurance benefits, based on your income or sliding scale fee, reduced fee, or even free. Look for this toll-free EAP /EAR number in your benefits package or it may be located on the wall that has other employment posters in a break room. Human resources could also supply you the number to call.

Is there such a thing as crap- fitting to a wrong city ? Tried so hard for so many years but nothing worked out here...When I heard people talk about how staying in a dysfunctional relationship cut them off from truly thriving , I suddenly got an insight : yes, this is me , only the bad relationship being the one with the town, I should never have moved here ( equivalent to " I really shouldn' t have married that person...) In the wrong relationship you just can' t win no matter what effort you put in...

​@@mellifergold Agreed. Before moving again, it seems necessary to identify what is the bad fit. Before moving to escape my narc and his flying monkeys I did research about cultural diversity, the political atmosphere, etc. KZbinrs have great insights into specific cities or States.
