I’m a trauma therapist, The Body Keeps the Score is very good for C-PTSD. You should also read Gabor Mate’s books and watch his interview with Tim Ferris on YouTube. It’s called Dr Gabor Mate on trauma, addiction, Ayahuasca and more. Read Richard Schwartz work around Internal Family Systems Therapy. He did an amazing interview with Rich Roll called Multiplicity of the Mind.

There’s a lot of really good content online if you can’t access a therapist. You want to start with making sure you can self regulate and self soothe and build from there. Somatic exercises will help you.

Yep!

Sending you love and soothing. I’m a non binary AFAB who was diagnosed with endometriosis over 10 years ago via laparoscopic surgery. Endo sucks. I’m coming to the end of my reproductive years, thank fark, it’s been a painful ride.

Yep, he lives for it. I adopted him when he was 5 years old and trained him as soon as he got used to me. He he gets very excited when I get his harness out and loves to go for walks. He’s 15 now and still keen everyday unless it’s really cold.

He’s real! He’s on Instagram - alexthebengal And he’s ridiculously photogenic

You’re a deviant!

nice one. I did 2 days of exercise then broke my little toe!

thanks! Is your pic of your cat?

aaw, he’s very handsome and he knows it, and it means he can get away with almost anything!!

I don’t know who Melty is. It’s actually my cat, Alex who is a bengal.

Had such a broken nights sleep, I blame the earthquake. No work for me today, which is lucky, coz I am finding the braincells are not firing at all this morning.

I have donuts! Happy Friday.

oh wobbly cats are super special. Give him a squish from me.

Ohhh you Melty my heart.

Yep. I trained him when I got him, age 5. It wasn’t that hard. When I get his walking jacket and leash out now he gets excited and waits for me to put it on and then goes to the front door and waits impatiently for me to walk him.

aaw. He’s only started to slow down in the last year. Unfortunately we were attacked by a dog in our front yard a month or so ago and it’s put a little dent in his confidence. Mind you, his confidence was ridiculous to begin with. He does have his little old man modes though and he’s gone completely deaf.
