BRIAN BENSINGER posted:Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone feels worse after leaning that they suffer from childhood trauma. The people I was working for today asked me to come in and have lunch with them I told them I had to attend some other things at lunch . I have a very hard time being around people I used to drink to self medicate I went to group therapy for a year I have seen a therpist for 2 years and i feel that i am worst off as ever.
Hi, dear one...
yes. When I first started digging through... (for a life time it was the white hot pot in the corner of the stove... I knew how to avoid it, but...)... the going was incredibly tough.
i must have bought every self-help book on trauma, childhood trauma, emotional abuse... that existed. I under.ined, read, re-read... it was intense.
i found a good counselor (PhD in trauma stuff). I saw her twice a week for a while.
it... was... intense.
What helped? I found others. I learned of Alternatives conferences. They are the creme de la creme of insight on this. Find National Empowerment Center online. They will have more information. Another resource? Western Massachusetts Recovery Learning Center. And Intentional Peer Support. The people behind these organizations deeply know trauma... and RECOVERY.
I’m a retired teacher. I didn’t know this all existed until 2012. I wish I had learned earlier.
another resource? Peerly human ...
Please look... ❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
