Anger is dangerous when we are being abused, and shame is the handbrake on it. We blame ourselves rather than our abusers because we're trying to stay alive. But that worldview persists long after the abuser has gone. Read more: carolynspring.com/blog/shame-is-… #trauma #TherapistsConnect
'Don't be ashamed!' people say to us. 'It's not your shame!' But trying to address shame with words and intentions alone is rarely effective – because #shame has a survival purpose. It's trying to keep us safe. carolynspring.com/blog/ #TherapistsConnect #trauma #csa
To manage post-traumatic challenges, we need our attachment needs to be met, by having someone who is a 'secure base' for us – easier said than done. Find out more at carolynspring.com/podcast/ or via Spotify. #TherapistsConnect
We don't learn self-soothing intellectually. For sure, it can help to understand how it works, what to do, and how it impacts our neurobiology. But it's a right-brain dynamic which we learn through experience. Find out more: carolynspring.com/trauma-webinar/ #trauma #TherapistsConnect
My survival as a child depended on me acting 'normal' at all times, not letting anyone see what was going on. So it wasn't surprising that I tried my best to act 'normal' into adulthood, hiding the trauma beneath. Read more: carolynspring.com/books/ #trauma #TherapistsConnect
So often we wonder if recovery from terrible #trauma is actually possible. But we have evolved to survive. Recovery is inbuilt and instinctual to survival. So why not? Read more in my book ‘Recovery is my best revenge’: carolynspring.com/books/ #therapistsconnect
Feelings, what feelings?! I used to think the point of life was to NOT feel ... never mind that I never felt anything positive either. It really wasn't any way to live. Read more in my book 'Recovery is my Best Revenge': carolynspring.com/books #trauma #TherapistsConnect
What if we struggle to recover from child sexual abuse not because of some failure on our part, but a failure on the part of our society around us to support us to do so? Would that reduce our shame? Learn more on our training: carolynspring.com/shop/child-sex… #trauma #TherapistsConnect
Growing up as an abused child, I had no idea that I was being tricked into taking the blame. It's taken decades as an adult to pick through all the twisted threads and figure out that being abused wasn't my fault. More: carolynspring.com/books #trauma #TherapistsConnect #csa
The natural response to #trauma is avoidance. But that's a short-term gain for long-term loss. Hard though it is, we have to find a way to overcome the avoidance in order to heal. Find out more on 'Working with Trauma Memory' webinar: carolynspring.com/trauma-webinar #TherapistsConnect
We are encouraged to 'speak our truth'. But what if we are so unsure of ourselves that we don't know what that truth is, because dissociation and denial have been our only feasible survival strategies? Read more in my book: carolynspring.com/books #trauma #TherapistsConnect
We don't become suicidal because we're selfish or weak. We're suicidal because our distress exceeds our current coping capacities. The first thing we need is hope that things can be better. Find out more on my course: carolynspring.com/shop/dwd-onlin… #TherapistsConnect #trauma #suicide
What makes a good therapist? Who are we as clients most comfortable working with? What are the red flags? What are the shout-out signs of commendation? Who would YOU work with? Read my blog post suggesting some key issues at carolynspring.com/blog/who-would… #trauma #TherapistsConnect
I have experienced safe therapy, and I have also experienced hugely unsafe, damaging therapy. When done well, it can be life-changing. When done badly, it can also be life-changing ... How can we ensure it's safe? Read more: carolynspring.com/books #trauma #TherapistsConnect
It takes trust to reveal to someone our deepest trauma and shame. Part of that trust is knowing that they will know how to handle us being triggered, and use it for our healing. Read my blog on how trust is built in therapy: carolynspring.com/blog/trust-is-… #trauma #TherapistsConnect
We can't overcome shame alone. Because shame isn't a fault in our brain, something gone wrong in our wiring. It's a response to a rejecting world. And the answer to that is empathy. Read more in 'Recovery is my Best Revenge': carolynspring.com/books #trauma #TherapistsConnect
It’s taken me a long time to recognise that it’s not okay to be treated badly. It’s taken even longer to actively do something about it. Listen to the podcast to find out more: carolynspring.com/podcast/podcas… #TherapistsConnect
Some therapists are comfortable with being empathic. Some are comfortable with challenge. Who’s equally comfortable with both? Listen to the podcast to find out more: carolynspring.com/podcast/podcas… #TherapistsConnect
When we don't talk about child sexual abuse, who are we really protecting? The taboo only ever serves the abusers. We need to break the secrecy, silence and stigma: it's the abusers' shame, not ours. More: carolynspring.com/online-training #trauma #TherapistsConnect #csa #csaqt #shame
My early therapy work was hindered by me being too sensitive to challenge, hearing it as criticism or rejection. I missed out on the really rich help I needed. Listen: carolynspring.com/podcast/podcas… #TherapistsConnect

172 Followers 371 Following wife, auntie, friend, she/her #freshflowers #SeeMeNotTheLabel #AskTwice #ListenToMe #TraumaLivedExperience@CarolynSpring Thanks a LOT to put in words the way I passed through the last 4 years. Now I have my own thinking, feeling and truth. But at first, I didn't know any other truth than the truth of my abusers. I didn't even know I have right to have my truth. So Couldn't thinking they abused me.
I recommend this blog post - Carolyn Spring’s personal trauma history gives her great insight and her professional training and unique personal style gives her blogs&articles a unique perspective that is always of great help to me ⬇️
Therapy can feel impossibly scary if we feel we need to talk about 'what happened' – before we're ready. But trauma therapy is about retraining our neurobiology to feel safe again – with or without a narrative. Read more: carolynspring.com/blog/why-do-we… #trauma #TherapistsConnect
@CarolynSpring As I work within an iapt service as a step 3 counsellor a regular challenge is time limited work, although I feel any time a client makes contact with a feeling/emotion previously not fully realised or understood that can be part of their change process
This is so important 💜
Shame acts as a handbrake on anger, to prevent us from getting into more trouble. But anger is also a protective mechanism, stopping people from treating us badly. Without it, the cycle may continue. Read: carolynspring.com/blog/shame-is-… #trauma #TherapistsConnect
Happy to share this Carolyn and the quote here really resonates 👍🌸
There's no 'magic' to working with #trauma. It's about working with human beings in an eminently human way. The bigger the trauma, the bigger our compassion needs to be. Read more: carolynspring.com/shop/wwddicp-o… #TherapistsConnect #PTSD #DID #dissociation #therapy #counselling
An awfully moving read #trauma
#Trauma memory resides in our bodies, our reactions, our symptoms and our behaviours, much more than it exists in our 'minds'. We need to understand this thoroughly if we are to recover. Read 'Hearing the Cry' to find out more: carolynspring.com/blog/hearing-t… #TherapistsConnect
@CarolynSpring brings us wisdom to remind us therapists that we're meeting human beings in our sessions. Thanks for this. #TherapistsConnect #wisemind #wisdom #TherapistTwitter

@CarolynSpring Carolyn, I think deep down trust is always going to be an issues for us all.
@CarolynSpring You’re ability to articulate trapped unconscious thoughts and feelings astounds me and makes me relax into myself ❤️x
@NessaSpratticus @CarolynSpring Thanks for sharing, we are sad about your experiences in not receiving the help and support you needed and deserved. As MeWe mentioned in our Instagram live the other day, when we first found out we had #DID it was Carolyn’s work we turned to. We will be eternally grateful.
@AWonderBall @CarolynSpring Totally with you all on this one. MeWe hope it doesn’t cause any hurt to say that we feel just as inspired by y’all as well @AWonderBall
When I first read these words by @CarolynSpring I was nearing 50. Her words, incredible insight, they literally took my breath away. I’d not been aware of anything other than being a psychiatric patient, with an untreatable #eatingdisorder, #BPD etc. I was a person who had failed…
When I read about #PTSD & #DID, I was alarmed by the lists of everything that was 'wrong' with me: so much craziness, disorder and hopelessness. What helped was seeing #trauma through a new lens: my symptoms were how I survived. Listen: carolynspring.com/podcasts/traum… #TherapistsConnect
You give me such inspiration and solace on my down days Carolyn Spring! Thank you so much from Terri Dry in Melbourne, Australia.
The journey towards self-kindness is an arduous one after abuse. In this podcast (part 2 of 'How to keep going through challenging times') I describe what I did to gradually overcome my instinctive self-loathing. Listen or read: carolynspring.com/podcasts #TherapistsConnect
So true Carolyn. For my clients they naturally revert to their 'child' self when faced with any confrontations or challenges as an adult.
