'I Survived It, So You Should Too': When Parents Mistake Survival for Recovery

One of the most frustrating experiences for adults recovering from CPTSD is being told that recovery is simply a matter of mindset, grit or 'mind over matter'. Many parents and older generations interpret recovery through the framework they themselves survived with: 'If I survived it, learned to control it and eventually felt better, then that must be the path.' The problem is that survival and recovery are not the same thing.

How Can I Know If CPtsd Is Blocking My Recovery?

Sometimes people understand their trauma. They have read the books, watched the videos, joined the groups, done the reflection and can explain exactly why certain patterns developed. And yet - in real life - the same reactions keep showing up.

Supervision Returns - And We’re Starting Gently

Over the last few weeks, I’ve had a steady stream of therapists, counsellors, mental health practitioners and coaches say some version of this: ‘I need my clarity back.’ Not motivation. Not another modality. Not a pep talk. Clarity. And honestly? That makes perfect sense.

Anonymous CSA Question – A Male Survivor Speaks

This video responds to an anonymous question submitted through our childhood sexual abuse questionnaire. The question came from a man. That matters, because male survivors of childhood sexual abuse are still underrepresented, under-believed, and often silenced by comparison, minimisation, or shame. In this video, I read the question aloud and respond to it carefully, without identifying the individual, and without reducing the complexity of what he is living with.

How to Tell a Parasocial Relationship Has Gone Too Far (CPtsd Edition)

Parasocial bonds

If you live with CPtsd, parasocial bonds make complete sense. They are not a character flaw. They are not immaturity. They are a brain adaptation.

When Faith Language Silences Trauma Survivors

A reflective exploration for survivors and people of faith Across faith traditions, we often say that healing is a journey. But journeys are rarely neat, linear, or theologically tidy. Many survivors of childhood sexual abuse grow up inside faith communities that offer meaning, hope, and belonging – and also phrases that are meant to comfort but can quietly wound. Rather than arguing over what is “right,” this reflection invites a different approach: Not answers. But questions. Because faith that matures is faith that has been tested in lived experience.

Coercive Control: Why Smart Women Miss the Signs - And What Today’s Trauma Trained Lens Reveals

Before We Talk About “Healthy Relationships,” We Need to Ask This First:“ Do I actually have the capacity to sit with another adult if both of us are emotionally triggered?”

ADHD Recovering Brain Access

Being able to finally make food, other than what I normally eat, is nothing short of a miracle in my life. ADHD has felt like losing my brain power all over again.

When Suicidal Ideation Is Present in CPtsd

Talking about suicidal thoughts takes courage on both sides. For survivors, it can feel impossible to put words to what’s happening. The trauma-brain whispers: “I’m too much. I’ll scare them away. No one will understand.”
