Has anyone done a trauma narrative? What did you think about it? Did you feel like it helped you in any way?

My therapist who specializes in trauma and who I've been with for years suggested I think about it. I'm just not sure how I'd do it.

I don't feel like I'm no longer traumatized, you know? I am being traumatized daily by [don't want to talk about personal life] so how would I even address that?

So in broad terms I'm asking how it went, I guess. Did you like it?

@jasmine I feel this. Last year I took a job well under my abilities, lower pay, much lower title, just not where I am in my career. But I needed a job.

So I do this fawning masking a lot, and I am good at it (thanks #cptsd!). I count myself as humble already, and I am somewhat silent all the time. But I have people talking "down to me" on my team all day long, because I am not titled as high as they are, and I let my fawning and humbleness to "allow them" their time to explain it to me.

So I just let them do it. And guess what happens? I will do something that outsmarts them, just kinda out of the blue, and then drop back again. And what happens is the people who talk down to me get confused and I hope are questioning their own attitudes. Because the people who have bothered to get to know me as a person see my skill and appreciate it.

i recently came across the below privilege wheel and it made me wonder what "robust" mental health would look like.

so if you're also curious, here is some discussion of "robust" mental health:

* emotional stability: feeling calm and able to manage emotions

* resilience: the ability to cope with the stresses of daily life

* optimism: feeling positive about your life and future

* self-esteem: feeling positive about yourself

* vitality: feeling energetic.

* experiencing positive emotions: happiness, joy, pride, satisfaction, and love

* having positive relationships: people you care for, and who care for you

* feeling engaged with life

* meaning and purpose: feeling your life is valuable and worthwhile

* a sense of accomplishment: doing things that give you a sense of achievement or competence

above are from: theconversation.com/what-are-t

many of these are probably very difficult for people who are dealing with CPTSD/trauma. on good days, i can have many of those. but it's definitely day-by-day and i can have long stretches of not feeling many of those at all. so i guess "robust" mental health is when you have most of those most of the time. it's definitely something to think about.

Recently, I received a condescending call from someone who seemed to lack any real experience, telling me that my multiple and complex disabilities aren’t debilitating enough to qualify for help from the #NDIS. This is yet another frustrating example of being #DisabledBySociety.
 
As for my mental health struggles, I’m navigating multiple issues, including #cPTSD, while my #AuDHD is dismissed.
