Thinking, dissociating into the past or future fuels PTSD, it is jet fuel for the mental illness.
We judge ourselves, compare to others, which leads to worry, doubt, and increased symptoms.
We judge with our PTSD brains
.

.
An abusive childhood turns into a suffering adult, judgments lead the way.
Thoughts, especially judgments, sentence us to more suffering.
When PTSD is active, I resent life and act like a victim.
My abusive childhood is over.
Judging a past trauma event brings it back to life with a victim mentality.
The proper way to improve is to accept what happened without judgment or comparison.
We lose if we compare our life to a normal person.
Our sweet spot is free of thought, focused mind, ever-present, letting the senses see, hear, feel, and touch without comment or judgment.
Unguarded thought and rumination are the Achilles’ heel of PTSD.
PTSD wins sometimes, but I win most of the time now.
Practice coming back from being lost in thought daily.
Be aware of your thoughts, your subconscious leanings, and your inner world.
I’m have practiced this at least a million times in the last decade.
Make your focus bulletproof, learn to meditate.
That means I have improved not healed, still in the midst of the daily battle.
It is my ultimate weapon.
A benign focus exercise that gives us more power than any other therapy.

Meditation has been the most powerful tool. It allows you to carry out your therapist’s instructions much easier
I took my meditation practice into the center of my fight or flight mechanism firing
It took a while but I could dissipate the cortisol and adrenaline and breathe until I was back at normal
It is half the battle
Therapy will do the rest with practice
