Anyone else middle-aged (40+) with nothing to show for these bygone decades but survival?

I had to cut off a few people who were not good for me. Boundary pushing, resentment, refusing to take accountability of their own issues. You can only work on yourself so much when you're around pe…

The guide that will help you to change your perception in heartbreak — I lurk here often, as once upon a time I did go through something like this. I never exited the community and it breaks my heart how so many of you are burning in the same pain I once was. What a join…

How to heal avoidant attachment?

The only thing I would really recommend is learning about internal family systems. That kind of work *can* be done on its own but I did the majority of mine with a therapist. The book “No Bad Parts” b…

Feeling bad after dates?

It sounds like you're disowning and shunning your negative feelings. Since they don't seem logical, you're pushing them away. But they're not going to be logical. They're probably the result of repres…

What is my core wound when I don't worry what others think about me, I'm not afraid of being alone, but still no boundaries with closest people

I would guess that while you logically know you have a right to be accepted as you are and you're not afraid to be alone, you have not accepted that on a deep emotional level. Or there's some inner co…

How to deal with strong intrusive thoughts?

I personally have dealt with early life relating patterns and I agree that we do inherit a lot of mental and emotional conditioning from our early environments and these programs run unconsciously unt…

Anyone else never asks for help because they don't want to be a burden?

I recommend you check out Internal Family Systems therapy (No Bad Parts by Schwartz). It's really good at pulling apart behaviours that have helped you survive, but also cost you a lot, and working th…

Cbt is humillating

Yep. That's how my therapist and I applied IFS. If you're interested, I was reccomended the book "No Bad Parts" which I believe is from one of the creators of IFS. I didn't actually end up reading it …

I have severe issues but I can't afford therapy, is it possible for me to ever get better?

Would recommend trying the Work of Byron Katie - that has a ton of free resources online and No bad parts audio book by Richard Schwartz - founder of IFS. They can work.

Anyone else develop different parts of yourself to deal with different situations?

Totally normal with CPTSD. Read about IFS. No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz. I like anything by Carl Jung as well. We need to learn how to accept all of who we are in order to integrate, so eventua…

Any stories of people doing a 180 on their fawning/people-pleasing?

I am sooo much better at fawning and people pleasing in my relationship and with friends and family. It's not a full 180, but at least over 90 degrees. I don't think it's as simple as be more direct…

Cbt is humillating

Unfortunately everyone is different so what works for some may not work or work as well for others. I personally found IFS to be really helpful since "parts" gave me an intellectual framework to latch…

Anyone uncovered memories of SA on shrooms before?

I'm glad it landed. And I think you're on the money with your take, and you have good insight. I like the "...so it created narratives so I could somatically release it" framing, because it shows how …

Is your superego/inner-critic so sadistic and aggressive that you have to beg it to stop?

No Bad Parts is such a good read. I made so much sense to myself after that!!
