Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in November 23rd
Hey Trauma Community,
So we are doing a series on ACT time for the next one in the series this topic continues from the last one.The last topic was Get Untangled from your pain you can read that HERE
This weeks topic is What Causes You Pain? Goal: To identify what causes you pain.
Here is a small excercise you can do in your own time if you choose or you may share what you are comfortable sharing with us in here for this , many of you may prefer Journalling this privately instead and thats perfectly ok.
Write down a list of all of the problems that are currently psychologically difficult for you. Be honest and thorough in creating your suffering inventory but dont overthink it. Just write down what plagues you and causes you pain-including any of your thoughts, feelings, memories, urges, bodily sensations, or habits that may distress you.
Tip: Remember to include your reactions. For example, my boss would not be a good example of a difficult problem but getting frustrated with my boss or feeling put down by my boss might be.
As this one is a short topic we can use this time as Reflection, on the previous 2 topics too since doing too much could be overwhelming and i wouldnt want to do that ,so heres a few questions to answer below ,the activity is a choice just a hi or a check in is ok too if you choose.
Questions
1.How do you feel about this topic?
2.Do you find this topic Helpful?
3.What are your goals?
Also my Guided Discussion is 2pm EST, 7pm GMT in Trauma.Topic this week is Session Three - The Denial of Trauma and abuse. Teen Trauma Discussion 6pm EST Tuesday topic Witnessing with Domestic Abuse - this is because i wasnt well last week im better now

@CaringBrit
Hi. I am glad you are feeling better.
I can't do the topic today. Not in my current state of mind.
@practicalIdeal2007
I'm glad that you are able to analyze yourself and detect whether you can handle something right now. It's a hard skill to master, and it sounds like you're doing a good job! Introspection isn't easy! Perhaps you should do something kind for yourself today? What kinds of self care do you prefer?
@Hoxenos love the self care idea super important too
@Hoxenos
Self care is hard for me. I don't know sometimes what I like or what I want to do. I will try to come up with something. I used to try to force myself to do things that I knew I might not be able to handle. I found this often made a bad situation worse.
@practicalIdeal2007
Here's a site with some ideas to get started. Perhaps just pick one thing from the list and do it today. Let yourself do something to purposely relax or enjoy yourself. If you usually tell yourself you don't have time or don't deserve to do that, I promise that you do deserve it. And making your happiness a priority can really affect every part of your life. You deserve to take some time for yourself.
@practicalIdeal2007 its great to see you realize how you feel right now just a regular check in is fine or a hi whatever you feel you are in need of we are here for you deal
no rush on this topic either can read back anytime
@practicalIdeal2007
Hi Ideal.
Good to see you here again.
@pioneeringBanana1598
Good to see you too
Im tired of not being heard and being in a position to be triggered and hit by my pregnant foster sister. And yelled at when I cry and called insane. I just want to be seen. They dont see me. They dont see me.
Why cant I just give up?
@HopefulSprings we hear you we see you you dont deserve to be treated the way you are being we are here for you hugs if you want any hopeful

@HopefulSprings
It hurts so much to feel unseen and unheard. You are a valuable person and you deserve to be seen and heard. Your opinions matter, your feelings matter. You matter.

What's Causing You Pain?
That one is a good topic because it makes you think about what is bothering you. Mine is from two abusive relationships and I have been dealing with it by anger and avoiding dating altogether. It's not helping me at all. I'd like to just get rid of it and pretend nothing happened.
@FaithfulPrune9638 it is a great topic indeed m glad it made you thinjk i also understand how you want rid of it the pain etc
