    The trauma symptom that’s easy to recognize in other people, but SO hard to recognize in ourselves, is damaged perception. Childhood PTSD can make you unable to discern what is true and not true. You can't tell what is your responsibility and what is not your fault, when you’re in danger and when you're just anxious. You end up always doubting yourself -- trusting the wrong people, and failing to see red flags. In this video I teach you the signs that your perception is damaged, and walk you through a step-by-step process to get it back.

    My default is assuming I am wrong, even if later my perception is proven right. Also, not thinking in words doesn't help because I find it hard to explain what's wrong.

      I have that too, I've improved a lot, I needed to inform myself like crazy, I feel like I've built this moral and knowledge internal system to sustain my opinions and decisions.
      I recommend reading a lot, watching videos like this, watching series or movies that move your feelings because they feel right, or reading about someone you admire, and little by little build your principles and morals.
      I think the main reason we think we are wrong all the time is because we do not have a strong foundation to defend our truth, it's normal because of our past and history, but it's never too late to build one. Let's build! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

    I grew up in an environment where no one was allowed to have feelings except for mom. Us kids were always overridden by mom, every time. If we were happy and excited she was angry. If. We were mad about something she was even more angry. It would escalate to where she was out in the yard screaming at us. We learned to keep everything undercover and control the younger kid’s outbursts for fear of being publicly embarrassed. We also learned to distrust everyone and not talk to anyone about how we felt, “Because what happens in this house is no one’s business!”

      Same here. But it's so scary. Today I understand that I substituted my limerence behaviors for weed daily usage. At first, it made me feel free...able to express myself, not caring that much about people's opinions on me, and connect spiritually. But it definitely blurs my perception and also makes me more lonely ("if only I got some weed everything will be fine, I don't need anyone"), since I often get the feeling that I am enough for myself. Because, yeah, I enjoy my inner world, and I'm deeply introspective...but now I know how much it's been a substitute to real connection. Real connection feels way more powerful. I don't need to push people away anymore, don't need to feel so scary. It's very weird the understanding that I'm now an adult and have the power to change my situation.
      Sorry for the rambling in your comment!! Best of luck

    Yes, this is one way where the crappy childhood keeps on giving. Even when you’re on a healing path and intuition speaks to you, you start doubting your intuition rather than the situation or person. It’s a terrible and dragging feeling.
    Mine went away when I decided to trust myself first. Confusion was replaced by peace, and even if I was doubtful I perceived the situation right, I decided to trust that peace.

    My mom didn't gaslight me, she just did what she wanted. From birth I was exposed to her hedonistic lifestyle. On the other side, her family, my Grandparents, Aunts, uncles, and cousins were all conservative Christians... not perfect, but most of them really loved the Lord and followed Christ. I would spend a lot of time with them too and it was a weird contrast. Around them, my mom showed that she could behave. She has actually always been a very intelligent person who could exercise decorum when she needed to. She always held down a good job, paid her bills and led an outwardly upright lifestyle. But, she was also bipolar and at night and on the weekends the weed would come out and heroin addict bad boy boyfriends would turn up to party. This was very confusing to me. At 50, I'm still not able to judge social situations properly. One area I struggle with is always wondering if I've inadvertently offended someone with things I say. I'm pretty direct, so this feels necessary but also harsh to me Kind of tired of it. Now, I'm learning to sit with this discomfort rather then fawning. Then if the right time comes, I might broach the subject. I feel misunderstood a lot, but i wonder if that's mostly me projecting that on others? Confusing. Fortunately my mom now denounces her wayward lifestyle and has apologized to me for it. I've forgiven her and we have a good relationship now. Unfortunately, I'm still socially awkward due to things that happened to me from 0-10 years old. Once you're baked, you're baked. Now it's just a matter of "learning and knowing" correct behavior and trying imperfectly to implement it when I can. No wonder we all want to isolate.

      Most abusers were abused themselves. So the abusers need help healing too, in order to prevent others from being hurt. It's a big cycle and I know there's a big argument about whether people are born like that. And not everyone who's abused becomes abusive. But like everything else, different people are affected in different ways. That doesn't mean we should tolerate abuse, I'm just saying that in order to prevent the abuse, the abusers need to stop and most won't seek help, but if they do they need to be helped.

  • @mixedlag
    @mixedlag 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    I'm all about that honesty. Truth builds healthy relationships and trust. I had to learn the hard way to become conscious of that being a strong value of mine.
    I spoke up often as a child when I was uncomfortable and was just as often told to not let it get to me, to ignore it, to get over it, or that I was too sensitive.
    My father would periodically walk around in an inappropriate manner and when I got older I finally said something in the context of wanting to bring friends in from the neighborhood and his behavior made that impossible to do, only to have it met with defensiveness and righteous attitude. "My house my way" kind of thing. (The image that brings to mind now is an unreasonable man-boy pounding his chest in response).
    I've never been good at ignoring 'the elephants in the room' but the rest of my family seems to have no issue with it at all as well as be able to live in denial as to how crappy things actually were. I couldn't tolerate the denial or their scapegoating of me so I bowed out and went NC. Tried LC with the mother but it was me reaching out most of the time in a friendly way. Lines are still open but it's become rare that she initiates contact.

    Thank you. I really appreciate your words and couldn't agree more about removing substances from your life. I would offer that 12 step programs are not safe for everyone and not all 12 step groups are the same (healthy / safe). For example, I did ACOA and I just went into severe trauma through constant shaming. It's really hard to try to heal when people who are in shame and think they are helping, use shame to try to help without awareness. Some people think they are healers but all they've done is spiritual bypassing.

    • @christinelamb1167
      @christinelamb1167 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes, I have also experienced this in 12-Step programs (certain people/meetings), and also other types of spiritual groups. We have to be discerning whenever interacting with anyone, regardless of if it seems to be a "healthy and safe" space/group. After many years in a particular 12-Step fellowship, I decided to quietly leave, and I stopped going to meetings. I knew it was time to leave when I realized I dreaded going to meetings and talking to the people there, rather than feeling accepted and loved.

    It also made me wonder if OCD, which I have, may also have the same source. In general it's just questioning my own senses, which forces me to repeat over and over all the checking before I leave the house, and still not being sure if everything is turned off and safe. I am very curious about your opinion about that.

    I grew up watching my mother piss herself at restaurants, passing out on her food, calling me names and locking me in my room. My dad split I couldn’t blame him. She is still a drunk at 75. A goddamn multimillionaire and she’s seen me succeed in business and was never kind. She damn sure pushed away all the loves in my life by getting drunk around them. Filthy rich drunk parents are the absolute worst. I suffer now with trauma, tinnitus and resentment. Lost my entire portfolio, savings and equity in just two years. She convinced me not to marry my ex gf bc deep down my mother wants me single and miserable because she ultimately hates men. Wtf
    And I hate myself for being in this financial, mental and spiritual position at 46.

    Oh my. This really hits the nails on the head perfect for the nightmare I am in.
    QUESTION: You described taking feedback and said not to defend yourself, but accept their input and maybe cry it out by yourself later. You had shared a personal story of when you were accepting feedback and that you admitted that all but one part was true. What did you do when you knew you had other poor behaviors, but the part of their feedback regarding you not caring for them was absolutely NOT true? Did you tell them or were you able to carry on in the relationship with knowing the truth yourself?
    I have been in this situation so many times with gaslighters and struggle with just accepting it when the false belief is quite detrimental and threatens my own experience, so my truth and validity also-especially discerning what is accurate and needing further attention versus I’m exaggerating. It makes it impossible to move forward authentically in relationship with them, let alone give myself the care and trust I need. Unfortunately, this is a common practice with two close family members I desperately don’t want to have to cut ties with, but has taken a severe toll on me.
    Any clarity and/or advice would be greatly appreciated😊

    I always feel like what I have in mind or my opinions are wrong and immediately changeable and I've been going through horrible times I'm experiencing a break up of a relationship that was actually a good one and a good man but It was not meant to work out because I decided to ditch my life and live with him in a different city of my own..and all the way I could not tell what's wrong and right and whatever he says just makes sense more than whatever I have in mind..abd now after we separated I've been struggling with literal identity crisis and I can't even stop thinking about him.. you talk about in CPTSD is relatable in some cases because i lived with badly tempered parents that are impossible to predict and overreact and verbally abuse us.. I wish i could get some advice on how to accept the break up and start healing or at least start and learn to handle the triggers

    So often those lies we are told as young children...make us insane!young kids DO INDEED have instinct. When were told our instincts are wrong, and we don't follow em, we learn to ignore it! Next thing u no, ur targeted by a predator. What's ur response?? Ignore it! We've been....well I'll say I HAD been taught to ignore it or minimize it smh
    I tried real hard to reverse that while raising my own family. Irdk my kids to dismiss their instinct or gut feelings. I told them the times they ignored or dismissed their instinct...they were wrong. It's pretty important to listen to our gut instinct. It never fails us. Never!

      I have heard that 'the program' is better in some places than others. In my city, MANY ppl in the 12 step groups are on the "marijuana maintenance program"; it is very cliquish and, yeah, abusive. I mean, Bill W. really wasn't the guy he is made out to be anyway...
      Having said that, i did get some good things around those tables. You know what they say; "Take what you need, and leave the rest". So I did.
