“When you shut down emotion, you're also affecting your immune system, and your nervous system. So the repression of emotion, which is a survival strategy, then becomes a source of physiological illness later on.” ~ Gabor Maté #Trauma #CPTSD #PTSD
I had someone say to me once when I was in the heavy midst of doing the codependency and shame work, that I wasn't as 'nice' anymore. My response: I'm still kind, I'm just kind to me too now. ~ @Jenniferkindera #Trauma
6 Signs of Trauma Bonding | via @PsychCentral buff.ly/3MPgybE “Trauma bonding occurs when you feel bonded with or sympathetic towards an abusive partner, parent, or friend.” #Trauma #Survivors
“The greatest damage done by neglect, trauma, or emotional loss is not the immediate pain they inflict but the long-term distortions they induce in the way a developing child will continue to interpret the world and her situation in it.” ~ Gabor Maté #Trauma #Survivors
Rejecting Violence: A Necessary Response to Toxic Masculinity | @GoodMenProject buff.ly/3MOpwqw "He had to respond with violence. If he didn't, it would've threatened his manhood and his standing." #Men #ToxicMasculinity #Boys
“Every time physicians see somebody with an autoimmune disease or mental illness, they’re looking at somebody who’s traumatized, but they don’t realize that. So therefore we deal with only with the physical manifestations, but not the actual causes.” ~ Gabor Maté #Trauma
Untangling Emotions: Toxic Positivity, Self-Care, & Shame | @Jenniferkindera buff.ly/3St0jn6 Because negative emotions feel uncomfortable, they are seen as “bad,” and when we compare ourselves to others, shame rises up. #MondayBlogs #Trauma #SelfCare
Everyone Is Talking About Trauma, But What Is It Truly? | by @Jenniferkindera via @Medium buff.ly/3DUKkay “The impact of trauma is based on where the person is at emotionally, mentally, physically & spiritually.” #Trauma #MondayBlogs
Untangling Emotions: Toxic Positivity, Self-Care, & Shame | @Jenniferkindera via @GoodMenProject buff.ly/4bdNt4K It is a deeply embedded part of our culture, and it can infiltrate into our mindset & affect our emotional and relational self-care. #MondayBlogs #Trauma
Trauma Therapy Project #Podcast, with Trauma Recovery Coach @Jenniferkindera buff.ly/417l4Y1 “I understand the pain of living with traumas that aren't integrated, & how… they can play a huge role in keeping us small in our own story." #Trauma #MondayBlogs
I still have times when I am triggered and go into an emotional flashback. There is no cure for C-PTSD, but I do know that what used to take me three weeks to bounce back from, now takes three days, or three hours. Progress. ~ @Jenniferkindera #Trauma
“As we navigate adult relationships, as children carrying developmental trauma, it may not occur to us that it isn't our job to caretake others, fix their problems, and people-please (fawn) until they feel better.” @Jenniferkindera #Trauma #Survivors
“Recovering individuals must learn to recognize, confront, and disidentify from the many inner critic processes that tumble them back in emotional time to the awful feelings… that were part and parcel of their original childhood abandonment.” ― Pete Walker #Trauma #Survivors
13 signs of a Female narcissist | @DrBeckySpelman buff.ly/49zthZn “She craves constant attention and admiration. So she needs to be told that she is good enough, worthy, and amazing.” #Narcissism #MentalHealth
“The attempt to escape from pain [with addictive substances or behavior] is what creates more pain.” ~ Gabor Maté #Trauma #Survivors
My Littles | via @Jenniferkindera buff.ly/3RJkf6h "My Littles are basically my inner child at different ages, and how she was stunted in her growth at the time, due to developmental trauma." #MondayBlogs #Trauma
What Lies Beneath Vacant Eyes | via @Jenniferkindera buff.ly/3VqwzZj "All I knew was that I had to be the ‘good girl’ at all times, had to perform and be ‘perfect.’ But those things were never consistent." #Trauma #MondayBlogs
The Toxic Chaos of Gaslighting | via @Jenniferkindera buff.ly/3GIYL3h "As someone who lives with complex PTSD, I understand what happens in my brain when triggered: the fight or flight response and the subsequent emotional hangover." #Trauma #Gaslighting #MondayBlogs
I can never live up to that inner dialogue of self-shaming perfectionism. In my journey, I couldn’t even experience the beauty of the flowers and the sun because I would be so hyper-focused on potential weeds. ~ @Jenniferkindera #Trauma
A nation grappling with psychological impacts of collective trauma | @APA buff.ly/3MzMVLP “A superficial characterization of life being ‘back to normal’ is obscuring COVID’s post-traumatic effects on mental and physical health.” #Trauma #MentalHealth

Suicidal thoughts aren’t always I want to die. They’re also.. I feel trapped. I need a way out. I am a burden. What’s the point in life? I need to escape my thoughts. Nothing will ever get better. I see no future. I can’t bare this pain anymore. Am worthless. #SuicideAwareness
Pregnancy after loss, during a pandemic with anxiety and PTSD flaring up on a daily basis. Patience, (lots of!!!) reassurance, compassion and empathy got me through this time. Professionals that saw me as a loss mum + not just another number. More than just another statistic.
If only I could tell 21 year-old me who left uni following a suicide attempt after being raped - that I’d graduate with top grades, secure a conviction, campaign for change, AND be heading to parliament tomorrow to appear before the Criminal Justice Committee - she wasn’t broken.
