My dad has beaten up my mom when she was pregnant with me. When I was 5 he hit me in the face and broke my nose. He also locked us all in the house without a key. I also had to witness his violence towards my mom and my sister without possibility to do anything. He died on my 16th birthday, yet I was left with CPTSD for the rest of my life. Low self-esteem, difficulty to build relationships, trust issues, generalized anxiety, depressions, eating disorders - the list goes on I hope to heal one day….

Wow! That's pretty crazy. I will pray for you that you Heal. I am 63 yrs Young woman and my Mom died when I was 4 and I am just NOW healing my childhood wounds, and not by choice. My anxiety has been building for 2 yrs and is now unbearable. But have been watching TONS of Healing your Inner Child youtube videos and am crying a river of tears from the depths of my soul and it is SOOOO healing! I will pray that you start your healing journey and can find self-love, happiness and peace. God bless you! :)
We lost that one battle, but we are not a loser. We failed at that one attempt, but we are not a failure. We are a “tryer.” If we choose not to try, we limit our opportunities to learn from our mistakes - and therefore limit our ability to achieve future successes. We were doing the best we could with the tools that we had at the time. We’re learning how to use better tools, and we’re making better choices as we learn how to use them. It’s taking time, but we’ll be better motivated to continue improving if we are encouraging and kind to ourselves.
Your perspective is truly inspiring. Recognizing that a single setback doesn't define us is so important. Embracing the identity of a "tryer" means we are committed to growth and learning from our experiences. It's about giving ourselves grace and understanding that we're always evolving and improving. Every effort we make, even if it doesn't succeed immediately, is a step toward greater wisdom and future success. Keep believing in your journey and the progress you're making. You’ll get there, one step at a time.
@@DocSnipes Thank you “Doc!” I began watching your continuing education videos during COVID, and eventually watched over 200 of them. Your videos have been instrumental in my continuing recovery and my educational advancement as I serve as a regional coordinator and group facilitator for SMART Recovery. One of my groups is in a federal prison re-entry center, and your videos have been extremely helpful in this regard. Thank you so very much for your inspirational and very educational videos.

I'm really sorry to hear that you experienced this. Being traumatized by a teacher, someone who is supposed to support and nurture you, can be incredibly damaging. It's important to acknowledge your feelings and know that what you went through was not your fault. If you haven't already, consider talking to a therapist or counselor who can help you process this trauma and begin to heal. Remember, you deserve to feel safe and respected.

@@DocSnipes< yes- I did go for counseling. But my nervous system gets triggered when I can shouted at by people. And I get very nervous and go into flight or freeze mode.
In ex-communist country where I live, in early 1980s - teachers were actively screaming and physically punishing students - slapping their faces, pulling their ears, hitting them with objects - this was generally accepted as norm in society. I experienced this and it was major factor in forming fawning and people pleasing tendencies as social option to use as oppose to showing anger or defending myself. In the kindergarten I was repeatedly slapped in face as small kid - if I peed or pooped I would get punished, sometimes I got slapped in face when we had break and were suppose to sleep - the nanny came to my bed and hit me for no reason at all. Amazingly enough - this did not break me. It was bullying later on from other kids that triggered me into social anxiety issues, almost 10 years later.
@@muhyadindahir3188 Amazingly enough when this horror happened - I did not see it as trauma. I saw it as painful, hurtful but not as harmful to my psyche. It came to me as trauma when I started to see that this abusive behavior is wrong and not allowed in normal countries. I guess the same things would say children who brought up in alcoholic environments - when they start to be aware that not all families around out there are dysfunctional. I studied social anxiety since 1996 - so I have knowledge about it. CBT is placing a lot of stigma and incorrect information about social anxiety in the public. Social anxiety is being presented as a plague, as a sickness, as something to be ashamed of and something to cure and fix. In reality - social anxiety is a reflex to abnormal people and abnormal events caused by psychopaths and Dark triad predators of all kinds. IT means - asking if and how social anxiety is gone would be the same as if we can stop the pain when we cut ourselves or when we burn our hand on stove. The pain is normal reaction to abnormal event - the pain itself is not problem , and social anxiety should occur as normal reaction to unfair and unjust criticism and scrutiny. I see the problem in toxic people and shame culture mentality - where people are being intrusive. So dealing with social anxiety actually would need to be transformed into - dealing with toxic people, how we handle dealing with sociopaths of all kinds and narcissists. I see the "cure" for social anxiety as allowing ourselves to feel the anger - suppressed and pushed down anger is causing social anxiety psychological issue. HOWEVER - people being toxic - this is outside of our control. Allowing our anger to feel it won't cure toxic people - and we need to be aware of this - that social anxiety does not mean as CBT present it: as superiority complex of being super confident.
I had trauma from neglect and witnessing abuse of my immediate family from my dad. I then had a family and became the terror that was my dad. Unable to form relationships, I'm here trying to heal my pain.

Remember, it's never too late to make positive changes and heal from the past. Your willingness to face these challenges shows incredible strength.

@DocSnipes I've done a lot of affirmations and kind words to my inner child. I was in therapy, but my therapist wasn't trauma certified and it's too expensive. I also am a big believer in christ, and so my Christianity helps. I also meditate a lot to calm that inner child. It helps my awareness and prevents emotional dysregulation
Hey that’s great that you’re working to heal from that trauma, even after starting your own family! I have toxic parents and I’ve always wished for them to at least take responsibility for hurting me. So, coming from me, thank you for doing what most parents won’t. Trust me, your family will be grateful.
I would suggest to keep watching these powerful Healing your Inner Child youtubes cuz they have helped me immensely in only about 2 weeks! I have cried a river of old, deep down to the depths of my soul tears and I am just starting my healing journey. I pray that you heal cuz YOU did NOT deserve any of this. God bless you. ❤
Thank you for sharing. Accepting emotional or physical abuse can be an incredibly difficult process, and it’s normal to feel grief as you work through those painful experiences. Grieving is an important part of healing, as it allows you to process the losses-whether it’s the loss of trust, safety, or even parts of yourself that were affected by the abuse. Remember, healing doesn’t mean accepting what happened as okay, but rather coming to terms with it so you can reclaim your power and move forward. Be gentle with yourself through this process, and know that healing takes time. What has helped you in your journey to process these emotions and begin healing?
Really struggling on this, accepting what happened to me and also what I later in life inflicted on others. Its hard to accept the wrong that happened to me when I also wronged loved ones in different ways. Regret and guilt are running rampant and I don't know how to get a hold of it.
