Intrusive thoughts have been the PTSD symptom that has haunted me. This symptoms activates many of the other symptoms we suffer from.
The last few days intrusive thoughts have all but left the building, changing all my focus to functioning in the present moment has alleviated that concern for now.
What a wonderful gift in itself.
No, I am not healed but the mind can be approached in many more ways than I thought.
My first priority was to calm the fight or flight mechanism.
Then all the fun begins fighting to get our lives back.
Many times we are not even close to working on what needs to be integrated.
PTSD is so irrational and confusing at times, we need direction and tools to navigate.
Try my new approach, leave the past alone, focus on this present moment and work on that behavior, our reactions to people and situations.
Intrusive thoughts have a hard time penetrating when we assume this posture.
If something has stopped working, adapt, pivot and try something new.
I have found taking risks with therapy is a must from time to time.
Childhood trauma will not be healed by a therapist, I can assure you of that.
I have done the vast majority of my healing alone.
Take a step back and evaluate your healing path, make changes and reapply maximum effort.
