Complex Trauma

Hi,

My name is Shana. Aka Lily.

I'm just beginning my healing journey from Trauma that I experienced in childhood and later in my adult life.

Recently, Ive needed to separate from my family of origin, at least temporarily- I think permanently from some, and most recently I was in a painful relationship that I haven't completely processed. Before that I was in a 10 year relationship with a man, we lived together.

I'm waiting to attend a therapist appointment, but it's not until January 26th.

There are a lot of people in need right now, we all know that--

Anyway, I don't have that much support right now. And it would helpful to have a listener here on 7 cups who I could check in with, regularly, who understands CPTSD.

I'm an artist, poet and currently I'm working in non profit, part time while I begin my healing...

I'm kind, smart, funny and easy to talk to.

If you want to support someone now, occasionally, as a listener on this site let me know.

I would be honored and grateful...

S

Hi I'm a newbie. I've had trauma as well. Everyone's unique and of course I don't know your path. Just washed to say good for you that you're going to go to therapy! I'm so glad I'm going myself

I am specialized in ptsd area. Am not yet licensed psychiatrist but i am on my med school now and might be able to help. I have talked to a lot of members here in 7 cups and was able to atleast share some words that could help them with their day to day lives.

Hey! I don’t usually go on the forums on this site but I thought I’d drop a reply here. I’m super glad you’ve began healing and cut those out whom you certainly need to. I have a lot of experience helping those with what is known as cptsd. I’d be really happy to help out and be someone you can regularly check in with. I’m working towards becoming a therapist one day : )

@LilaLila5 feeling what you are saying and I get that it's challenging. It's wonderful that you've been able to find the good in yourself even if the people sometimes around you are challenging.
