Another day of fighting symptoms. But also, fighting to not let your guard down. It's like any addict. If you're not careful, you can have a relapse. Do we really want to have a dissociative relapse?

It's like all of our trauma pain is flooding out all at once. You have to ..read more

That's one common problem of trauma survivors. Constant burnout. If you're not careful, it's a vicious cycle. You have to try and protect yourself as best you can. Do we have an addictive personality? I've beaten seven to get to this point. But the pai ..read more
