I have cptsd and I didn't know that having a negative self concept wasn't a normal thing. I feel like "damaged goods" most of the time and isolate as a way to protect myself. Being alone was the only safety for me growing up.

I’ve hated myself since I was teenager lmfao. It’s honestly my baseline at this point. I feel like I’m cooked 😭

Jess :
Moved across the world with 100$, had to learn a new language, graduated honours with an engineering degree. Core beliefs are still that I’m not worthy and never ever will be enough.

“A negative self concept is something you have to be conditioned into” is so powerful 💔 I had never considered it before. Would you say most people have a positive self-concept pls? Or, has society conditioned most people to have a negative self-concept (ex: social media influencing beauty standards, etc.) Ofc, this self-concept would still not be as profoundly negative as a C-PTSD survivor.

E💤 :
24 yr old with CPTSD. So I thought everyone carried a negative self concept but it wasn’t till way later that I realized that I had been conditioned or even gaslit into believing I was the cause of the abuse I had experienced. My sense of self was always more so rooted in guilt and shame, for wanting to discover who I was, shame for simply being that person and guilt again when I finally found the strength to leave a dangerous situation. My childhood felt less like growing up and more like surviving, others were exploring themselves and their dreams while I was learning how to disappear, make myself smaller, quieter and basically invisible just to stay safe. Just completed 10 weeks of DBT therapy and has been incredibly helpful. Highly recommend. ❤️

I have struggled with self hatred since I was a child since I was bullied in school. It's so strange and sad realising that most people don't hate themselves like i do

Can a teenager already have complex trauma?

Its so hard to get out of this way of thinking when you’ve never been taught or told anything positive

Learning shame wasn't an emotion but a core belief changed my life. No idea how to fix it though

Over a decade of therapy and CPTSD was never brought up in sessions. I’ve recently taken my own initiative to actually take a deep dive into my childhood and the way that I respond emotionally now, and a lot of this resonates. I think it may be the reason why I’ve always felt “broken”. I never understood why. I’m not sure how to bring this up, though.

For someone who suspects they have CPTSD, what type of therapy are we looking for? I have zero therapy experience and way too much intellectualizing 😅

PeacePeak :
Makes a lot of sense, There isn’t 1 thing I like about myself..my days are filled with how I’m a problem, How I’m useless at everything and I feel everyobe outside sees me the same….isolation saves my life seriously

But wait.. cptsd isn’t just because of things that happened in childhood? You can develop cptsd as an adult. Or are you working with kids and you’re talking about their situation?

Zoe :
Wait because I have always felt like I don’t deserve good things or that I’ll never get them so I just make the most of a less than ideal life because I just don’t deserve better even though I’m an absolute sweetheart
