💜 So many survivors have had their voices muted. We hear you, we see you. We are magnificent survivors 💜

💜Hard days happen. I can remember living hard days everyday it was exhausting with no end in sight. Please look after you, if you can’t because it’s too much-tricky then do something for you, even if it’s putting the bins out, or watching your favourite film. Go gently 💜

💜 I rescued myself 💜

💜 Still learning how to thrive. Most days are good. Some are harder than ever. I just remember how far I’ve come, and today is just a wobbly day. 💜 #trauma #cptsd #survivor #warrior #thriver #positivelysurviving #wevegotthis

💜 Love this 💜

💜 I used to be annoyed when people said ‘oh my goodness you are always so positive’, usually professionals. And this really got to me too, ‘you always dress beautifully considering how much you’ve been through’. Really… So patronising. 💜

💜 I did just that. Safety should start at home, and from day one. Unfortunately my mother was too self absorbed and emotionally unavailable for us. 💜

💜 I have mine 💜

💜 Definitely my mother, she was so toxic, well until she had a audience and then she was so kind! #toxicrelationship #toxicmother #narcsurvivor #narcissistic

💜Working with my inner critic (mothers voice) took a very long time, it was so worth it. I’m forever more working& walking alongside my inner family, my dissociative inners helped me survive now it’s my turn to help them live and not just survive. 💜 #innerchild #healing #trauma

💜Absolutely right. There’s lots of people making good money, having holidays & posting social media & that’s fine if you are happy with life, but this can also be a trauma response, emotionally abused ‘you aren’t good enough’ etc, make us work so hard to achieve more.#healing

💜 Hence why I’m single. I need to heal so I can make healthy choices within a relationship. If that’s even a thing? You know what I mean. 💜 #cptsd #healing #relationships #trauma #inagoodplace #traumaresponse #tooindependant
