Doors Slammed Shut

This is, to me, a very good article on boundaries and what can go wrong when boundaries within a family system go wrong. I was actually looking up psychological hijacking which applies to my family and came across this new word Introjection , which is basically when one is forced to take on the dogma of the family. Hate your father , your brother is stupid , I am you mother and I always know what is best . This, I think, is where scapegoating and golden child concepts are born and...

Hey

Most people would describe me as a bright, bubbly, high achiever....but they only see the outward appearance...not the war that s constantly raging in my mind. The cause? Being sexually abused by a relative from 8 - 10 years old and then witnessing my brother who was 7 years older than me murder my dad and attempt to murder my mum using a kitchen knife. Understandably I ve had many challenges over the years but seem to have overcome them all. I m happily married with 2 beautiful adult... Feeling Confused

Hello Everyone!!

So, I ve been working with my therapist for nearly 3 years, and she s great. Right at the start of our work, I wasn t wholly honest about a piece of work I was involved in - I was seeing her for issues about my work and she made an assumption about what I did and I didn t correct her. Not a big deal initially, but that has meant that all the way along there s one fairly significant area of my "stuff" that I ve not been able to talk to her about - because then she d know I lied.

Selective Mutism....but I Am An Adult.

Something odd has happened to me. If you have been following my threads, here is back story. A LOT of early trauma and abuse, displacement, illnesses and disability.

Possible Triggers To Unknown Or Current Trauma? Help!

You may recall about a month ago my vet had a fall which exacerbated a recent injury (which was itself an exacerbation of an old injury from his service days). I made him see a GP at the time. We live in a rural area - there was only one GP available. He told the GP that it felt like the joint had exploded. The GP refused (as in we asked him twice and he said it was unnecessary) to physically examine the affected area or order images. He saw him again a week later and he did the same...

Re-purposing Myself.....

My first time trying any type of PTSD forum, I m a longterm PTSD/ sufferer, and at this point accepting that I will never recover to my old self- but am working hard on fighting the good fight to at least live the reamainder, and go out on my own terms, not at the descretion of those events. My focus has been on animal, horses-dogs, and climbing. I look forward to meeting, helping, and getting help. Thanks.
