@a_a_ron.disordered.mind: Some CPTSD symptoms don’t always look like “symptoms” from the outside. Sometimes they look like being low maintenance. Independent. Chill. Private. Easygoing. And the hard part is that people may have praised you for the very things that were actually survival strategies. They liked that you didn’t need much. They admired that you handled everything alone. They called you calm, mature, flexible, or easy to be around. But sometimes those traits were built in an environment where having needs felt unsafe. Where asking for help led to disappointment. Where showing emotion made things worse. Where having an opinion came with consequences. That’s one of the complicated parts of complex PTSD. It can blur the line between who you are and what you had to become in order to stay safe. CPTSD recovery isn’t about rejecting your whole personality. It’s about getting curious. Which parts are truly yours? Which parts were protection? And which parts are you finally allowed to choose now? Which one did people compliment you for? #cptsd #cptsdsymptoms #cptsdrecovery #cptsdawareness #complexptsd
