Over the past month, I have been exploring different solutions to help with anxiety and panic attacks in the workplace. I covered breathing techniques, mindfulness, and grounding techniques, and how to build an anxiety-busting tribe…but what if those solutions are not enough to help you gain traction in your workplace performance? What if you need more? #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #cptsdchat #nonprofit #mentalawareness #mentalhealth #worktrauma #workplacetrauma #anxiety #worklife #empoweringworklife #empowering #blogger #traumainformed #follow #share #follow https://lnkd.in/g877SH2U

TRIGGER WARNING!!! * * * * * For many survivors of childhood s*xual abuse, the journey toward healing can be fraught with discomfort. The body often becomes a site of trauma, a vessel that holds memories and sensations tied to painful experiences. The complex relationship between the mind and body can make living in one’s skin feel like a challenge. #CPTSD #CPTSDFOUNDATION #Traumainformed #cptsdchat #becauseweareworthit #mentalhealth #healingfromtrauma #lifeaftertrauma #ACES #childhoodabuseprevention #mentalhealthmatters #triggerwarning #survivorship #follow #blog #blogger #share https://lnkd.in/gfsBfWhp

We were perfect for each other. Or so I thought. His love for children, our incredible chemistry, he seemed to know how I was thinking, what I liked, he made me feel like I had “come home.” I had no idea that this was his usual MO, like a game, for him to figure out what he could get from me and how he could get it. #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #cptsdchat #mentalhealth #becauseweareworthit #healing #time #nonprofit #mentalhealth #follow #share #blog #guestblogger #storiesfromlife #healing https://lnkd.in/gRPfuzbe

Bouncing = inability to focus, bouncing from one chore to another, unable to complete even the simplest of tasks due to severe anxiety and depression. One of the most painful things I have suffered with for a large portion of my adult life is something I call bouncing. #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #cptsdhealing #depression #survivor #nonprofit #traumainformed #becauseweareworthit #bouncing #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #follow #share https://lnkd.in/gF-mq8fH

My name is Elizabeth, and I am a survivor of CSA and trauma. I have come a long way in my healing journey, but I want to share with you that I still have bad days in the middle of the good ones. It is part of the healing process to feel myriad complex emotions, and even though it may not feel like you are making any progress, you are! #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #cptsdhealing #cptsdandtrauma #traumainformed #trauma #complexptsd #suvivor #suvivorshealtogether #nonprofit #community #suvivors #becauseweareworthit #follow #togther #share #mentalhealth https://lnkd.in/g7T-bduH

When I was seventeen, living on my own after having been homeless, sex trafficked, and abandoned, I couldn’t imagine surviving into my late sixties and knowing the joy I feel today. I’m so happy I didn’t give up on myself so long ago. #CPTSD #CPTSDFoundation #healing #becauseweareworthit #healingfromTrauma #trauma #traumainformed #nonprofit #findingjoy #blog #blogger #follow #share #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness https://lnkd.in/gwrg3ymr

How does a real adult date? I used to act a part on dates. The part of “Real Adult Who Dates, Is Fabulous, and Definitely Has No Trauma.” I still felt like a wounded child inside, but I was sure that I could hide my childhood trauma if I had the sexiest nail polish color or applied my makeup perfectly. #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #cptsdchat #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #trauma #traumainformed #nonprofit #dating #lifeaftertrauma #blog #follow #share https://lnkd.in/gGUMJ9cC

Anxiety, a common and natural human emotion, can sometimes overstay its welcome, impacting various aspects of our lives and our careers. From the subtle nervousness before an important meeting to the overwhelming feelings that disrupt daily functioning, anxiety presents itself in numerous forms. #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #cptsdchat #breathe #deepbreathing #anxiety #panicattacks #stress #stressmanagement #mentalhealth #becauseweareworthit #breatheeasy #follow #share https://lnkd.in/gUTmYJsr

If “the moving finger writes, and having written, moves on,” as poet Omar Khayyam wrote, then I wonder if the moving body also writes in its own way. I think it must, for I see that trauma-informed yoga does exactly this. When we are not curious about the sensations in the body, we don’t know what we could know about the stories told there. Writing gives us what’s in our minds—very useful, but not everything. And sometimes a distraction, a refusal of part of our story. #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #cptsdchat #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #poets #bodyawareness #nonprofit #follow #share #cptsdhealing #healingviapoetry #wellness #bethechange https://lnkd.in/gf-qATpD
