cptsd doesn’t stay in one lane. it shows up in your body, your relationships, your sense of who you even are, not just your thoughts.

and i don’t actually think it’s a disorder in the way we’ve been taught to think about that word. you oriented yourself to a world that wasn’t safe. your whole system built itself around staying alive in conditions that required it.
that’s EXTREME intelligence.

which is also why i think cptsd needs a holistic approach. mind, body, nervous system, spirit, all of it, held together. our current system mostly isn’t built for that. it’s built for symptom, diagnosis, protocol, done. not “this touched every part of who they are.”

and healing doesn’t really mean it disappears. it means you learn to work with the adaptations instead of being run by them. you take the wheel back.

if any of this landed, tell me which slide hit hardest 👇

hot take as a trauma therapist: i don’t think cptsd belongs in the dsm.

not because it isn’t real. because “disorder” was never the right word for it.

judith herman named complex ptsd in the 90s because she kept seeing something regular ptsd didn’t capture — prolonged trauma, usually relational, usually from someone who was supposed to keep you safe. the icd-11 recognizes it. the dsm still doesn’t, not really.

but even if it did, i don’t think a manual could hold it. it’s a rupture in someone’s relationship to themselves. a soul injury. and insurance wants that to resolve in 8-12 sessions with a billing code attached. yep, that’s a no sir.

you were never disordered. you were unwitnessed.

if this hit something, i’d love to know what part landed for you 👇

i’ve been sitting with this not-fully-formed thought lately.

in therapy, we often work toward moving through the hard thing. getting better. regulating. healing. finding our way out of the fire.

and i believe deeply in that work.

but what changes when we look at our lives through the lens of:

my soul came here to learn certain lessons.

not everything is random.
not everything is meant to be avoided.
and maybe not everything painful is something we’re supposed to simply get away from.

maybe sometimes the question isn’t just “how do i get through this?”

but “what is my soul learning here?”

still noodling on it. ✨

i know “become unrecognizable” is a wildly popular self-improvement message right now.

but honestly?

i don’t want you to become unrecognizable.

i want you to become so deeply acquainted with yourself that you stop living from everyone else’s expectations.

i want you to know your patterns.

your nervous system.

your desires.

your contradictions.

the parts of you you’ve hidden.

the parts of you you’ve outgrown.

the parts of you that are still waiting for permission to exist.

i want you to get f*cking curious about yourself.

to question the stories you’ve been carrying.

to make meaning.

to follow what fascinates you.

to discover what makes you feel alive.

and to build a life that actually feels like yours.

that’s the kind of transformation i’m interested in.

not “how do i fix myself?”

but…

“what becomes possible when i stop abandoning myself?”

and tbh, that’s a lot of the work we do inside SoulCare: The Integration.

it’s my 3-month therapeutic coaching container for the person who’s already done a lot of the healing work and is ready to go deeper into integration, embodiment, relationships, patterns, desires, and becoming more fully themselves.

it’s not about fixing you.

you were never the f*cking problem.

it’s about helping you actually live what you already know.

if this sounds like the kind of work you’re ready for, message me “SOULCARE” and i’ll send you the details. 🖤
