I do want to add that when dealing with stress (I have CPTSD) and going through all of these natural responses, like crying, shaking etc, I get really disturbed reactions from people who witness that. I get labeled "crazy", people act as if I'm a mean person, people refuse to talk to me anymore, or start telling nasty stories about me. In my opinion it's society who doesn't allow people to deal with stress, or have these natural responses. Showing emotions is acted upon as if it were a crime. That doesn't make it easier for those dealing with trauma.

“If we could somehow end child abuse and neglect, the eight hundred pages of DSM (and the need for the easier explanations such as DSM-IV Made Easy: The Clinician's Guide to Diagnosis) would be shrunk to a pamphlet in two generations.”

I just recently was diagnosed with PTSD..
1. I have always felt, "disconnected," or always waiting for something else to happen. Not being able to live in the moment type thing.
2. My stomach hurt a lot as a child and throughout my earlier years. We never knew why.
3. I had chronic headaches all throughout my life as well.
4. I sleep a lot and I always feel tired.
I didn't realize how much suppressed emotions could have in our body. I recently started reading, "The Body Keeps The Score."

6. Frequent colds and/or infections due to body being in constant stress, and never in rest and maintenance mode. Often seriously impacts the imunesystem. Skinconditions and exemas and acne are other common manifestations of poor imune system and high inflamatory levels. That is such a common and important physiological manifestation of trauma, that I thought it deserved an inclusion in that list. (I'm not a HC pro). Thanks for yet another valuable episode! 🙏😊

A friend of mine was sexually abused when she was eight years old. I asked her whether she wanted to seek therapeutic help, but she declined and basically said, she didn't feel like she needed it. Meanwhile, she is always on high alert. She is the most easily startled person I know. It's so hard to watch her put it off, because I know one day she will realize that she actually needs help and of course on that day I will be there. But I wished she did it rather sooner than later, because I want her to live the best life possible.

Thanks for the psychological help...
But I REALLY like that puppy. It's great how he asks for your attention and realizes he NEEDS it, and how he needs to be recognized...just like we have to do if we're going to address our "issues". We're so good at sweeping things under the rug, and dogs don't do that.

Sometimes, I'm soooo hard on myself and trained my brain to be in control all day long, having to take care of everything and everyone around me all day long, that I literally force myself to watch a sad/heart wrenching drama or show so that the tears will come out, and release all of the stress and PTSD-like symptoms. Breathing exercises, stretching, walking my dog, and eating healthy but satiating foods also help me to calm my nerves.
