Yes, I am damaged from serious childhood abuse, but PTSD does not own me!
Yes, I suffer at times, whine and complain, but my attitude of never giving up, persists.
There is a space inside me that will never give up, that will suffer with a good attitude and all our effort even without results.

Winning does not depend on me healing, it depends on me not giving up in the face of my struggles.

In the beginning of my struggles, when things got bad, I always increased my effort. My jock mentality knew trauma was the enemy and weakness was the last thing needed.
We have to find that space in our heart, that holds firm when things feel hopeless. We have to define our goals and attitude.
PTSD can humble us to our core, scare the hell out of us with what we fear most. Can you keep a good attitude and increase effort when things are bleak?
Trauma fear arrives as the scariest space we encounter, reinforced with our fight or flight mechanism dumping cortisol and adrenaline into the blood stream.
Our courage is connected to our attitude.
If we are afraid, Attitude suffers.
We heal by heading directly towards our trauma.
How many PTSD sufferers head towards their trauma?
That’s how we heal.
Avoidance powers PTSD.
I avoided at all costs in the beginning.
I learned the hard way how to heal by making every mistake.
Learn from my path, my experience, take action.
Meditation heads directly at our trauma.
