Processing trauma (FINALLY)
I have been avoiding my ptsd for so long. I've avoided facing and talking about my trauma and how it hurts me.
Finally this week i started a partial hospitalization program and have had an opportunity to process daily. And oh boyo it is hard work
Its exhausting to realize where my negative beliefs about myself stem from and to make realizations about my trauma, whether good or bad. I have cried more in the last 2 days than i have in the last 2 months
I think it is good. I'm finally opening up and allowing the healing to happen, even when it is uncomfortable and painful. I have been just trying to be compassionate towards myself and reminding myself i am allowed to feel things and this pain will not last forever. I am doing good. And the progress is important no matter how painful.
Anybody relate to beginning to process trauma? Its so important. Yet painful as ever.
To anybody who feels me on this, so many virtual hugs to you. We will get through it. It will get easier. This is important work.
@delicatepunk Hi there, I am so glad to hear you are well and that treatment has helped you out. Processing trauma is certainly a journey, and starting it is often the most difficult part of it. You show great endurance and strength. Thank you for sharing! :)
@delicatepunk Yes I can relate when I started processing my traumas it was very, very difficult. Best wishes to you on your healing journey.

Came here today as I have finally decided I need to deal and process the trauma I’ve been through. I have no idea where to begin this journey. But this was exact what I needed to hear. So thank you and good luck!
@delicatepunk
I am so glad to see you are ready to take the steps to healing. Healing is not easy and definitely does not happen overnight. You got this and cannot wait to hear about your progress.
