In my mind I would feel worthy and trust people if I healed.

Somehow I would have a slew of trusted friends.
Worthiness and trust are strangers to my life, criticism and violence were my childhood companions.
Next in public, in social interactions, I would feel free and easy, having a strong desire for community and relationships.
Then my nervous system would calm, spotting danger would subside, feeling connections would replace isolation, and finally at least a week of happy-go-lucky experiences.
Triggers would disappear, intrusive thoughts would be gone, and anxiety would be replaced with a calm confident demeanor.
I would feel secure and safe.
Traumatic memories would be buried and never be resurrected again.
I think I would faint from euphoria.
What would healing look like for you?

I did not mention pleasure or happiness or what they would look like.
I would hope being healed would lead to happiness.
When I look back on life, there was always turmoil, unworthiness and suffering, if I have a memory of being happy it is buried.
Being healed would be a miracle on it’s own.
I want to feel a calm piece, a healthy mind filled with wellbeing

My time was usurped and my response to this post has been delayed. I read your initial response to my question backward. Interestingly, in your subsequent post, you listed ‘Trust’. I would list Trust as a top healing feature. C-PTSD significantly weakens if not destroys this quality. Trust leads to resilience & hope. Even if one is resolved to stay in the fight (as you have often encouraged) it can feel like one is slogging through the days rather than celebrating them.
