***
When CPTSD is active and our brains/emotions are dysregulated, we can be easily triggered by things that upset us, including things people say or do (or don't do), things that are shocking, or just everyday stressors. Getting triggered can cost us hours and days of disruption, so the search for a "safe space" can be an urgent one, yet hard to find.
So how do we stay "safe?" How much can we expect other people to prevent triggers from happening, and what's our own role? What should we do if people trigger us? My answers may surprise you.

I'm a late arrival to all this wisdom, but what really hooked me in is Anna's honesty, encouraging us to take personal responsibility and letting go of the impulse to control others. Hard to hear some of the truths, but they certainly strike the right chord.

@CherishedbyGod 4 года назад

Man can I relate to you. I was recently rejected by my closest friend because of the way my emotions are a roller coaster. It was too much for her and it hurt her. Now I'm scared to talk to anyone because if my closest friend who I was attempting to regulate myself with rejects me then who do I stand a chance of being accepted by.

I just found your videos and I love them. I have severe cptsd from growing up with a psychopath mother and struggle a lot to control my emotions and relationships. I have ended all contact with my mother 2 years ago after years of ups and down,and extreme control, my whole family struggle because of her. I am 38 and male, and things became much better in many ways when I cut her off, therapy have helped, but your hands on approach is really helpful. Have just found a TM meditation group here in Norway and will learn it. I often feel my body is over stressed and therapy have not helped much with that, so will be nice to learn to relax. Thanks for great videos. I will sign up on your website.

I had no way to express myself regarding unending fears and feelings of being emotionally 'unsafe'. Until recently, I was my trauma, and was too easily triggered before. Now I have the understanding, and tools to re-regulate; and look for the 'inner calm' that left me so long ago.

I felt unsafe in my apartment when I heard someone getting shot outside my window twice. Once was in the day, the other was late at night. I also do not feel safe in my own body because I feel like if I was to be attacked, I wouldn’t be able to protect myself. I now am in the habit of praying at night & reading the book, black pearls.

@aviary4925 5 лет назад

Hi ma'am, Thank you so much for coming up with these videos. I came across your channel while trying to learn more effective ways, particularly the nervous system in healing cptsd. The moment I heard your voice and the way you speak about the topics (from another video) I knew I'm going to be a regular viewer and learner of your work. I need a safe place to learn and work things out, and no longer want to keep on talking about stuff, especially with family that cannot help themselves but constantly being critical of me instead of rightfully coming to terms to defend me as a family member from cptsd and all sorts of triggers. I only hope for them to just let me be and not keep on judging why I need my space and not take that need against me anymore. Right now I feel better if I just let them judge and not hear about it rathen than keep on catching up too often with them and hear triggers from their mouths from their casual but judgemental conversations.

@EllaBirt 4 года назад

Thank you for this!! One of the things I've never liked or understood about therapy is that they don't directly explain things like this. I'm a smart cookie, but I've not really understood what it would look like to feel "safe," or how I could actually be safe in a world so full of possibility where many people are walking around traumatized. I've watched half a dozen of your videos today and see myself totally in all of them. It's like I've been panning for gold and your videos are loaded with golden nuggets of healing wisdom. I've found writing and meditation to be core components in my own coping and understanding. I'm going to further dedicate myself to these practices diligently and use your info to help regulate my regularly activated nervous system. Sending so much love to you!

I haven't found the "right" type of people yet whom I feel safe around. I know it sounds like an unresolved trust issue, but at the moment, I feel very sensitive to ppl telling me what they think I need (to do). I don't like ppl bossing me around.☹️

Yet, when eben my loved one tells me, that he loves me, I feel nothing at all. It's like a glass wall. It just does not reach me. I go emotionally blank. Would you be so kind, to let me know. If that is part of and why, of CPTSD. And more importantly, how could I break through?

@publicserviceannouncement4777 2 года назад

Okay, so if anyone is new to this channel there's a few things I have learned or see a pattern. The Daily Practice is #1 I have heard about it in almost every video and I don't think it's a coincidence. Practing meditation (more specifically Vedic meditation) and there's a video about it. Not micromanaging others but being more in control of our own emotions. If we need to separate from a situation and go for a walk or avoid certain people for our well-being (toxic people), we have the right to do so. So, setting healthy boundaries. Like, what are those, right?! Those seem like the core things I hear about in most videos. There are other videos that explain why we seek unavailable partners, why traditional types of therapy haven't worked with additional support or without, what types of things trigger us (also why and what to do about it,) personal experiences that provide hope that healing is possible. I'm sure there are more but I have only been watching for the past week and this is what I have seen in many videos so far. My heart goes out to those suffering and those who are healing. All I can say is, "me too."

@teacherslearn 2 года назад

I now feel totally powerless hearing this. The writing every day has done very little for me. And if that is my only path to inner safety, I feel screwed for good. This inner safety described here is exactly what has been so elusive for me. One issue I am not hearing mentioned is the isolation we single people have been forced into for the last year and a half. There is no inner resource left in me. And I'm devastated and feeling very alone. And even though I have been finding these videos very helpful, not hearing that unique set of circumstances being addressed feels even more isolating. I wish you would make a video where you address the fact that the last year and a half have been especially devastating for us.

My mind is floating in several pieces...They said it was 'because' ...we didn't get along...I was like WHAT ?? as children you only know 'your' perspective....Anyway..I really have 'no' idea...where to focus my thoughts/feelings...?? He's gone and I never got a chance to say anything to him........I ...I ...???

I dont feel safe, physically or emotionally. If too many people interact with me I get very aggressive. It causes me to hide. Others percieve this as I'm angry with them and then get rude and butthurt at me.

@pachamama8586 5 лет назад

Thank you Anna, for addressing this important topic!! For some of us, feeling truly safe has become impossible. So for me, it is about feeling *safe enough* around people to be able to function. Conversely, nature (even a place I don't know) feels usually so much safer than any human being - except babies of course ☺. I liken this to being in a wheelchair: you learn to move about and get to most places but it is never going to be the same as before no matter what. All the best to you and everyone here in this community!!

@rosalieo5045 Год назад

I'm so frustrated these days and I'm in a situation where I'm around someone who stresses me daily and there is no way to leave. I don't drive, and there is no public transit where I live. Sometimes I just sleep all day so I don't have to interact with him. I might be changing countries but that is not until the fall. The conversations are always demoralizing and I feel so stuck right now. Tired of crying and being belittled for crying.

@TheShadow80fs 5 лет назад

I don't feel safe around my husband. He will be very kind, pack me lunches for work, cook dinner when I'm tired, tell me I'm amazing. But then will raise his voice in anger at me for seemingly nothing like if i misunderstood something he said or he'll do something that I've asked him to stop doing that makes me feel unsafe like scream and act erratically in the car or hit my ass with a towel thinking he's just being playful when it actually really hurts. I've asked him for a couple years to stop that. It's hard to know how much of it is trauma and how much of it is the present situation sucking.

@noahs4350 2 года назад

TW: this is triggering for people who suffer from abuse especially at home. I ran away from home because of all the yelling and hitting and being controlled and hated and pushed to the edge, they looked everywhere for me, my mom (who caused all my troubles) didnt even eat cause i left, she was hurt as hell, and my dad had to go to the hospital cause of the pressure of me escaping. I knew that because of the hundreds of voice notes and texts (i texted them for them to know im safe and not dead basically so they dont freak out). Eventually they found me, and me feeling guilty started paying them visits, they'd always ask me the same question "what did we do" and when i explain they have so many excuses. They went from yelling at me every day for absolutely no reason, to walking on eggshells with me, and then blaming me for not coming back home, they'd always tell me theyve changed, that im being selfish, that they don't deserve this and that everything is good now so why am i still angry all the time and why am i still feeling unsafe when, in their eyes, nothing is happening. And it is true they're so nice but it feels so fake and i still feel so fucking guilty and SCARED to death because im not putting their needs infront of mine. I just wish i could feel safe and come back, be who they want me to be and get it over with but im so fucking tired and AAAGGHHGGGGHH - realising this is my friend's account -

Is a racing heart disregulation? That’s my main symptom. And if it’s from CPTSD could EMDR help? I know it’s typically better for adult trauma.

So, are you saying that, if i become more able to regulate my emotions in response to other people's reactions to me, then I will become more comfortable with being vulnerable? Or is it through forcing myself to be more vulnerable that I will become better at regulating my emotions?

@DaveE99 5 лет назад

The thing I hate is I can’t get others to stop being emotionally invalidating. I’m at point where I told my godfather who is the only millionaire in the family that “no, that’s not ok, you don’t dismiss, you don’t ignore , you say “I hear you, yes, and....”. That you listen to understand, not to respond. That no you will not take my experience of my life and just hide it away and act like it didn’t exist. I’m not going to pretend things we’re good and I’m going to be blatantly honest, because this story is one of many and it’s also the largest public health crisis in this country that has been ignored 4x in history. So no, that’s not ok.

I would prob add , “must talk about” I’m kinda at point where I woke up in narc family’s nd of course they don’t want to see it all, but the invalidation and signs are undeniable when you piece them together. And despite how hard I might have tried to teach them emotional validation... ha, yeah no.

What’s the different between neutral & calm versus feeling depleted / throwing up the white flag / helpless? Cause the latter is how I feel in order for there to be any sense of “comfort” I can’t speak and people don’t (under stably) want to listen

Hi Anna, I am doing the daily inventory and experiencing more freedom and regulation. I have a question about a co-worker. She sits across from me. We are in cubicles. For some reason she doesn't like me. She gives me "dirty looks" that no one else sees. Doesn't talk to me at all. Of course this affects me. I feel afraid of her and she knows it. Any ideas? God Bless you!

@CrappyChildhoodFairy 4 года назад

You are on the right track! You may want to add the meditation so you're doing the full Daily Practice. If you become a member, we have group coaching and a private Facebook group, so there's more support. I'd really be bothered by the co-worker too and the solution is freedom, to either ignore her or give her a piece of your mind! The Daily Practice helps to develop that freedom!

@danmalone5365 5 лет назад

Sometimes a person just needs to move on not criticizing anyone for their structured beliefs system. As you evolve you change that makes people uncomfortable especially if you no longer fit in the pigeonhole assignment In a small town everyone knows who you are, you drag your years behind you like a running dog with tin cans tied to its tail, you can't escape who you have been.The hierarchical structure of a small group likewise works the same way instead of the conversation spiraling up as new information comes available the unwillingness to allow new input to the hierarchical structure of the group is do to crystallization of old tyrannical belief systems unable or unwilling to develop with new information which would free up the tyrannical structure of the group.

@CrappyChildhoodFairy 5 лет назад

Thanks for all your thoughtful comments @gooey duck. This particular one -- yes. The people who have know me a long time think I'm a total screw up, I think. Oh well!

@madelief4300 Месяц назад

I think it is a little but of both. Not trying to control people but finding people (enough people) in your life that do respond in ways that make you feel safe. You can't create relational safety on your own I think. If someone keeps disrespecting your boundaries you probably won't feel safe in that relationship. Well, I do not feel safe then, can't speak for other people of course :).
