I'm so drawn to "difficult" people, people who are hard to get along with. My nervous system just...I want to say "loves" them, but years of therapy in, I know it's not that, it's just that they feel …

I've noticed everyone wants someone with CPTSD to stand up for themselves until they actually do it.

I once read this quote like, that might apply to your situation because you're saying you're kind of trying to get your family to treat you with kindness. It was Patrick Tehean saying that the most …

Will those with “difficult placements” always struggle throughout their lifetime?

Usually the problems with Cap Moon manifest in relationships. In other words, you may not think you have a problem, but other people will lol I've dated four Capricorn Moons. They are... emotionally …

Partner(35M)could not attend a family event due to my(33F) appointment and his family is angry. What to do?

Sounds about right. Just be bland and boring around them when you need to see them. Use JADE any time they try to start an argument. (Don't Justify, Argue, Defend, or Explain.) If they try to upset yo…

My best friend (29F) cheated on her husband (29M) with their mutual best friend (29M)

Don’t feel bad about distancing yourself. I think if you discover that a friend is a shitty person or at best not morally aligned with you, you can’t really be close anymore. She’s a liar. How can you…

Those who practice well will find their sleep time gradually decreasing as they continue sitting

When my meditation isn't positive, there's usually an external factor. Up to now, not being vegan, not taking my vitamins, and not exercising enough are the main causes of unrest. Fruit, berry and pro…
