trauma
Day 3: starting to recover from an abusive relationship, emotional abuse
Do you think you've suffered any trauma simply due to being autistic?
(trauma being pain that stays with you)
If so, what are the experiences you've suffered most trauma from? Are they sensory ones? Social ones? Or something else?
More info truly welcome - comment below 
I've put my own response in the first post below ⬇️

He lacks the ordnance of words.
A self-portrait shows
stitches where his mouth should be;
eyes like empty casings.
He left a part of himself in the desert,
this ultra-Marine…

Since I found out that I am autistic 4 years ago, especially during the last months, I came to a much better understanding of myself, my neurodivergence, my sexuality and the different parts of my personality.
After having a very difficult time during the last week, including working through several trauma responses, there has been an important step of personal growth for me. I feel more clonnected to myself, authentic and whole.
For that reason I decided to change my online-name and IRL nickname from Kaci to Kitti.
This helps me to leave hurtful experiences I had in the past behind, embrace all parts of my personality and start a new chapter of my life.

Y aurait-il parmi voustes des retours sur le somatic experiencing pour lutter contre les traumas ?
J'envisage d'aller voir une praticienne qui a l'air expérimentée mais malgré les témoignages sur le site de l'association francophone, je m'interroge encore.
Je trouve intéressante l'idée de ne pas avoir à ressasser l'origine du traumatisme.

Bisan explains the social and psychological role of the Epstein files release. More accurately and concisely than anyone else I've seen trying to articulate the same ideas.
In short, it's hypernormalisation and learned helplessness.
It makes perfect sense that a Palestinian can see their game this clearly.

#Trump asked if he’ll call Governor #TimWalz in wake of #Minnesota #shootings
Normally in the wake of a serious shooting or crime the #president of the #UnitedStates calls the governor to make sure they have all they need in terms of #LawEnforcement resources, #medical, #security, #trauma response etc.

This is how Trump responded:
If you’ve never been estranged from family or friends, please don’t advise others’ on how to cut off relationships. It’s very likely these relationships were manipulative/controlling and sometimes people still have to depend on them because of financial/physical reasons. The best you can do is be there for them and show them kindness and gentleness. Most of us don’t need a knight in shining armor; we just want you to hold our hands while we rescue ourselves #trauma #relationship
I knew my trauma shouldn't be ignored no matter how much people tell me to 'drop it' or 'think positive'. Y'all think clinging to the past is always a bad thing, but there's a valid reason I keep being triggered over even the smallest things or memories.
I'm fucking tired of my trauma being repressed with drugs and gaslighting. That's why I have started to reduce my med dosage just recently. I want to fully feel my pain again so I can wake up.
#Trauma winter almost took me out. Now I got a bestseller #TTRPG and counseling school in the fall… but the lights are still flickering.
Gotta get stable to be able to move forward. Help a #disabled #indie creator keep making games:

People are making #wildfire bets on #PredictionMarkets. Experts say it could lead to disaster.
When the Eaton fire swept through the LA neighborhood of Altadena last year, it claimed 19 lives & incinerated thousands of buildings—one of which was the home of Kaitlyn Trudeau’s grandfather. His house burned to the ground; he lost everything. But while he grappled with #trauma, others saw dollar signs in the #disaster.

Hätte ich ja nicht gedacht, dass so viele die doch recht... emotional tief gehenden Inhalte von mir "ertragen". Danke für's mit halten und den Austausch!
