There's nobody to return to, growing up in narcissistic family, these parts were suppressed from the start

What if you don't have any recollection of a former self and this is all you know bc your entire life was a harmful event? Asking for a friend..

Others who never been through traumas don’t understand this. Unfortunately for me but I wouldn’t ever want to put this burden on others. Thearpy’s a huge help for sure.

if you dont feel like you can't trust yourself during this process, you might be doing it wrong. honestly, every memory could be a made up feeling to protect yourself, or even from a fear.. you have to do the work for it to work is all im saying

I came out of survival mode around 32/33 and told my therapist it's like the 1st day of high school minus the naivety. Shedding the person I used to be and healing is one of THE hardest things I've ever done.

One of the hardest parts of healing from CPTSD is learning how to reconcile who you were, who you had to become to survive, and who you're trying to be in the aftermath. You're grieving versions of yourself while trying to discover which parts are truly you and which were born out of survival. It's a strange kind of grief, trying to become someone you never had the chance to be.

It's almost like you have been distracted walking in front of closed doors and one opens. you decided to peek in . Nothing will be the same again.

It’s so hard when you become aware of people’s patterns ! Sometimes I wish I could go back to who I was.. but that’s not going to happen. I need to embrace it and start living my life.. it’s been 6 years ago since it began

When it all started as a child you then have to heal and then figure out who you actually are.
