Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving Book by Pete Walker

This book is a great place to start. I'm struggling to finish it because it's so relevant that reading about it is quite an intense experience. I'm also currently reading Buddha's Brain by Rick Hanson. It's a neuroscience book which goes through all the biological processes that our brains go through when we experience symptoms. It's oddly calming to read about the actual physiology behind my experiences. It also gives meditation tips and breathing techniques that help with flashbacks.

Another book that's been recommended to me but I haven't stated yet is The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk.

I find that reading about this stuff creates quite a lot of anxiety so I'm pacing myself. But I feel like the anxiety means I'm going in the right direction.

A toolgif on Lemmy? Hurray!

They are polluting on our behalf. Saying it's entirely their fault is like blaming China for plastic pollution. They are producing that plastic for the world.

Cool. Picking on people who are already hurting, again. At least they're consistent?

I'm waaaaaay ahead of this on step one. Step two can go fuck itself.

Correct. "Too much" implies that it's physically impossible to hold, otherwise it wouldn't be too much. You'll know it's too much when you can't hold it.

Capitalism benefits from homelessness because it scares people into spending their lives at their shitty jobs, making their bosses rich. Most countries with homeless populations want to keep it that way.
