@navigatingcomplextrauma: For many childhood trauma survivors, grieving can feel incredibly vulnerable. When you’ve spent years being responsible for everyone else and just focused on survival, of course there would be no room for grief or feeling your feelings. And sometimes your protectors may still be working so hard that you can’t quite access the grief underneath. Maybe healing begins with turning toward the parts of you that had to be so strong and saying, “I’m so sorry you had to carry all of that alone. You deserved to be protected, too.” #cptsd #complextrauma #childhoodtrauma #traumahealing #cptsdawareness
