Dr. Kim…Thank you for this video. I cannot stop crying. Last month I wanted to end my life and was brave enough to ask for help. Since then I’ve been working with a therapist and I found out I have CPTSD, depression and anxiety. My whole life I couldn’t feel anything. I was literally numb. I shut down my feelings fearing I would hurt too much if I dared to feel anything. Now I’m learning, through your videos and therapy, to feel and how to deal with my emotions. It’s not easy and there’s tons of work ahead of me, but thanks to people like you, I have hope. Please know, you are saving lives. Truly.

Dr. Sage. You have become my in-between therapy sessions therapist and I thank you for the time you spent on all the free resources you offer. Until you experience what we have, you’ll never know how much we’ve been trying to just make our way through life without knowing and addressing our thought process, fear, fight, flee and fawn responses, and all the trauma that comes with CPTSD. I’m 65. In Feb 2023 the CPTSD (I’ve live with my entire adult life ) has been officially diagnosed. It’s all making sense with a long road ahead addressing every aspect of my trauma, how it’s affected me mentally, emotionally and physically. Most importantly, how it’s affected my relationship choices in life. I’m bound and determined that I’m going to overcome this challenge, hoping and praying that I can save my 4th marriage to my 20 year partner who also has his own issues.

I just want say thank you for doing what you do. Im struggling a lot lately with emotional disregulation and im really trying really hard to find a way to regulate my emotions so that my son doesn't keep getting the unhealthy version of me. Im also autistic and i believe i have CPTSD among other things so its been a HUGE challenge for me to try and regulate my emotions.

Not only having an invalidating childhood and adult relationships, in 2010 at 46 yo they found a tennis ball size cyst in the left frontal lobe of my brain. they couldn't take it out, so they just drained it now it's the size of a golf ball. Talk about brain injury. very easy for me to get dysregulated. thank you for all your information and coping mechanisms. 🤗🤗🤗

I had a bad day yesterday. Sort of went off (depending on your definition) on the pharmacist at Costco because she was dismissive, was not doing her job and was taking no accountability. After I do this I have severe shame, and spiral down to feeling horrible about myself. It is awful.

At around 6:00 you mentioned getting triggered by the fast food not being hot... it occurred to me that the core issue here is the lack of consideration or a sense of fairness, whereas many of us with CPTD have a strong belief in playing fair. YOU wouldn't prepare food that badly so why do they think it is OK sort of thing. Lately I found myself getting really annoyed at the swimming pool by how inconsiderate people are. I find myself a spot to do my aqua fit type exercise in and then some oblivious dolt swims towards me as if I'm supposed to get out of their way. It always about other people's inconsideration for me.

@nancybartley4610 10 ай бұрын

I understand what you mean about lack of consideration and a strong sense of playing fair. I have such a strong sense of needing to be considerate and fair. It is overwhelmingly triggering to be around people who don't reciprocate such consideration. You mentioned it as a CPTSD attribute. Can you share your reason for thinking this? Does it mean we are the ones with the problem: we are too judgmental, too serious, too bad?

@lesliegann2737 10 ай бұрын

From my personal experience and from what I've learned from YT etc... if the CPTSD is from being raised in a toxic/narcissist family, and if you are a scapegoat or simply empathic, you are trained to always be very considerate of others, especially the narc, whereas in contrast the rest of the family can be as selfish as they want. It is doormat training but it has its silver lining. I like it very much that I'm empathetic and considerate of others and think more people should be like this as it is the right way to be. The thing to watch out for is to not be too much of a people pleaser though. The problem is to resolve/heal from being triggered by inconsiderate people. That is a work in progress for me. I've been a cycle lately that inconsiderate people have been bothering me more than usual. I also have some autistic traits so that adds its own flavour to the mix. Most autistics dislike superficiality and are naturally keen on playing fair with others. However after saying all that, there is a small percentage (30%?)of the general population from semi normal families who are naturally empathetic. It is just that the rest of the population is self serving.

@nancybartley4610 10 ай бұрын

Wow!! I couldn't agree more. I don't know why. But this resonates so deeply. Are you a therapist? Who do you follow on YT? What are you reading. I am going to try to incorporate this into my way of relating to others. On another note: I was told by a therapist that I'm autistic. Thank you thank you thank you@@lesliegann2737

Omg same!!! I go out into the world and since I find most everyone to be inconsiderate it is a nightmare. The drivers on the road, people in the store, the check out guy. Everyone is an ass in my mind and the hyper vigilance is so painful.

Cold water therapy through the Wim Hof method works best for me. Getting grounded seems to reduce the stress tolerance levels and is a reset for my nervous system. Andrew Huberman said it best trying to fix the mind through the mind is like grabbing at fog. Calming the body, feeling the feelings for a minute knowing anything beyond the minute is no longer this moment and it’s now a story. I’m finding this easier than DBT. Which I am also doing. But I’m losing steam with having to build a skillset when somatic breathing, cold, and exercise works quickly and easily.

@Jalentheuntold 10 ай бұрын

Wow It’s like she gave me the answers to all the questions I’ve been having. I wish she was my therapist because I have yet to meet a therapist to help me or to explain things to me like this. They don’t even like to validate that I have depression and bpd. They only care about the anxiety and that leaves me feeling hopeless and making me feel like I’m crazy.

There are also teenage skills work books. Amazon available. Reasonable prices. Also thank you Dr Kim broadening out the tools available. This is very helpful and practical and comes from a person with a high level of educational, clinical experience, practically creative and with a generous heart. There are people struggling throughout the world and not able to access therapy or coaching and then there ate those paying and accessing and engaging in the therapy/ coaching work and not getting practical tools.

Somatic exercises seem to work best for me. It's amazing how quickly I can regulate. Also, cold water therapy has been helping immensely. I find it interesting how much it's my body that first reacts to triggers before I'm even conscious of the fact I'm being triggered. Love your videos❣️

Hi & thank you. I have just found online and am so thankful for your honesty. I'm sorry for what you have been through and for others who have suffered trauma. The comment your daughter made about everything bothering you is what my daughter and husband say about me. I don't know why as I have not suffered any trauma really so I feel guilty. My Dad is a recovering alcoholic but was never abusive in any way but I suppose I worried as I am the eldest. I'm 50 now and I feel a bit lost so I'm trying to figure out what my problem is. Thank you again.

Thanks so much for your content and help. Could you please talk about misophonia? As I advance in my healing I find better ways to cope, but sometimes it just drives me crazy, I don´t think it creates life quality at all. My dysregulation is all of the above, by the way hahahaha. I have to admit once you really work on yourself and understand it gets a little better.

@kimberlychristine9284 10 ай бұрын

Oh my gosh, I have misophonia too! I've had this since age 9. I am extremely triggered by mouth sounds: chewing, smacking lips, clicking teeth, spit sounds and loud breathing. Whenever I hear these sounds especially repeatedly, I feel like banging my head against a wall or bursting into tears crying. People don't believe me when I tell them this is a real thing. I truly believe my narc parents caused me to develop this. While they were emotionally and verbally abusing me, they would make those wet mouth sounds or chew and suck loudly on a mint. They also smack their mouth loudly everytime they talk or in between sentences. I notice my misophonia is worse when I'm near them. They still make all my trigger sounds to this day and when I kindly asked them to not make these noises around me, they won't listen and make the noises more frequently. I believe there is a strong correlation between narc/emotional abuse and misophonia.
