My mother was abused, while I was growing in her womb. My first acknowledgement of the violence begins at age 4 - remanning relentless, until I ran away at age 18. Yes, unfortunately these six misconceptions have plagued me and everyone else around me, as I heard loudly to just get over yourself. At age 6, I finally know why I never mounted to anything because trauma greeted me at age 4 with violent episodes through my entire upbringing. I am still missing life, as I have been become uncomfortably numb.

I have a question regarding PTSD, but first, is it just me, or is your left shoulder of that top wider than the right shoulder? Ok, on with my question. I'm a Cornell University Certified Master Beekeeper, this has resulted in several organizations reaching out to me regarding Honey Bees and PTSD. There is a National Organization titled Hives For Heroes, and a smaller organization titled Heroes To Hives. Many Veterans have found recovery or solace simply by being in the company of Honey Bees at the hive. Even more, recovery when they become beekeepers themselves. There are also equine programs that have a similar healing impact. Why is this so? Is it a matter of drawing them out of themselves when they focus on an animal? Is it the distraction? There are many healing claims that are assigned to bees and beekeeping. I wonder what a professional such as yourself has to say about that? Not everyone can have a horse, or interact with one, but honey bees are basically everywhere, including in cities. I wanted to do an interview with you about this topic, but there seems to be a fee assigned to that. So, I'm asking right here :) Thank you for your time.

(As in them being more vulnerable to being victimized and/or traumatic situations in general due to poor impulse control etc. And their brain being wired differently making it difficult for them to process traumatic situations, and even making some situations that don't seem traumatic to some, being traumatic to someone with a pre-existing neurodevelopmental condition)? Just curious. Thanks in advance.

For kids being abused in the home can feel like you never get a chance to rest, it's that same repeatedly being dragged into a traumatizing event day in and day out, but its for years on end! It gets to the point where every moment feels on edge, like you just don't know when the next traumatic event will be but you know that it is coming.

I did not exist before that hug. The next day is when she wrapped me in her long black furry coat. We were at a brick building, but we never went in and we never got back in her car.

My sister said I should tell the psychologists that we stem from a family of fishermen stretching hundreds of years back in time, which might explain why people don't register the problems I'm having in daily life. All these families back in time became used to disasters. I also certainly needed to build strength from an early age in order to just survive stuff. My sister suspected that this strength would also camouflage my condition from the psychologists. I'm sure that's what happened. They did set a diagnose of anxiety disorder. When they did not go on to look at a possibly PTSD diagnosis, and more, it was because that would take resources, and setting a diagnose was not the purpose. The purpose was to help me figure out what was wrong, so I can work on it. I clearly have PTSD from what I can determine, but I didn't know until quite recently that this not only came from a terrible accident, but also from lots and lots of experiences in my childhood, and then also later from bad treatment at work. Yes, bullyish superiors can destroy people. The psychologists helped me discover that I also have AvPD, which explained a lot in great detail, not just about my behavioural patterns but also about my childhood history. I am so strong that I have no problems telling people about my experiences and how I cope in order to live a reasonably good life.

My therapist explained how I probably didn’t cope or fully understand with the situation at the time. Explaining it now to people that I’ve gone through PTSD, I do get some odd looks and I do get some who even doubt that I’m telling the truth. They question the severity of the trauma, and to them I say that people cope with different things in their own ways.

There were LOTS of traumatic things surrounding that one giant trauma (his death). I started therapy about a month later when I went back to school to begin senior year of undergrad. It helped a lot but July this year made 10 years since his death and the flashbacks to that day were strong and I've been back to a weird headspace for a few months.

I can’t reiterate enough how important it is to get sober when doing trauma work. Most of us with PTSD turn to drugs and alcohol to “quiet” the brain. My brain is kinda like a rollercoaster and alcohol made the tension in my body calmer. I knew I was an alcoholic and was powerless to help myself and needed support. I went to Inpatient detox and rehab. When I got home the trauma work I did started to actually work. I still have PTSD but I learned methods of coping that weren’t destructive. I went from leaving the house once a week to forcing myself to go out every day, to going back to work full time. I’d say the hardest thing to treat has been the sleep disturbances aka nightmares. With medication and lots of sleep training it’s so much more manageable. I still get them sometimes but I’m no longer afraid to go to sleep. It is hard to deal with but we are the voices for those that don’t know what to do. If you are dealing with PTSD symptoms, reach out to other survivors. You will find comfort in knowing that it’s not just a “YOU” thing. It’s a PTSD thing.

I had a very close friend walk out of my life recently bc I'm struggling with my PTSD, and it's been difficult to get help during Covid. So, it's taking me a while to get it handled. They made it clear that my PTSD was too much for them to handle, I understood that and started keeping to myself more. I was under the impression that I needed to get my PTSD manageable until they were ready to spend time together again. Meanwhile, I'd still ask how they're doing and wish them well when I'd check in. Randomly they replied to one of these check-in messages with an explanation that they couldn't wait around for me, and we couldn't be friends anymore. I understand that friendship's end, but this was so hurtful. Not only could my closest, longest friend not be there for me during this very difficult time, but they couldn't even bother to wait around for me to get better. I know this person probably felt I was toxic bc of my behavior while struggling with PTSD and MDD in the middle of a lockdown. So, my thoughts are...when can we rely on our friends and loved ones? If it's toxic to go to them in your time of need. I know people in these situations can be selfish bc we're dealing with a lot of mental health issues. I know a lot of people stopped telling me about their own life bc they didn't think I could handle it. So, I ended up losing a lot of close people in my life simply bc they assumed I couldn't handle talking to them about their issues. I know this is the case bc when I'd ask about them, they'd be short and drop it. Almost everyone I know closely has done that to me. I really needed these people as support, but they didn't want to be supportive and that's fine. But when is it not toxic to ask for support from our friends and family? It got to the point I was being told by this person that they just assumed I'd end my own life and they've already made peace with that. They'd rather me kill myself than be there for me. I'm really scared to talk to people now. I don't want to be toxic by talking about how I'm feeling. I don't want to get close enough to rely on someone just so they can walk away when I need them most. I'm really struggling with this. What do we do when people we've known most/all our lives find our mental illness toxic and can't be bothered to stick around until we get it manageable? I almost feel like this situation made my mental health a lot worse. I’m not blaming this person of course, but it was hard having to lose my closest friend and most of my family due to what happened. It would have been easier on my mental health had these people just avoided me rather than in forming me they’re done waiting for me to get better.

I believe it is the most overused since the word HERO in the 1970's & 1980's and RACIST in more recent years. Is there anyone who hasn't experienced PTSD sometime in their life?

Also we've been talking about bipolar and ptsd. Its interesting stuff. Seems to be bipolar is linked to trauma as well and maybe the result of ptsd from severe trauma as a young child left untreated.

Thanks Kati for all your help, videos and your book Traumatized. I believe I've actually have this beat. I'm no longer triggered by names, and dates or anything else. Coming to realization of what the trauma actually was not what I thought it was, lead me to revelation that it can't happen again. The alarm bells and ruminating have stopped, it so awesome to not be at war with your own mind !!! ... Thanks again

Trauma is quite hard to define, isn't it. Though I do personally believe that recovery is possible, it's not easy. There's a lot of rewiring that has to take place and it all has to come over time. At least from my own personal experience with c-PTSD it was effectively how I operated for the vast majority of my life and I'm only now starting to change things. Not only does it tend to infect other aspects of life, it can outright destroy aspects of life too. Personal relationships, friendships, families, even the relationship you have with yourself, all of it can be destroyed by trauma. It's not a fun road to go down. Though there is always an ability to recover. Maybe not everything that was lost but perhaps some new things as well. New relationships, new ways of living, new ways of thinking but getting there can be terrifying. It's not a road I would wish on anyone.

This might sound weird.i got PTSD from doing construction people always yelled at me treating me like s*** I didn't get paid good I got taken advantage probably because it was the only thing I knew how to do and I was homeless but now I live with my brother and I saw my mom and dad dying in front of me and that just took it over the top for me usually I will feel anxiety but this month has been rough I lost a good friend she passed away from cancer and my old girlfriend just a week ago I heard died from a overdose she was on life support and then I heard they were going to take her off at 8:00 but I was too late to get there to say goodbye and ever since I've been having nightmares waking up to feeling my PTSD going crazy and I cannot get happy and I cannot get sad and I really just want to cry to let it out but only a few tears come out and only the shrinks want to put me on antidepressants but they really messed me up so right now I cannot get help until next month so I suffer and silence everybody you're not alone

I was bullied for more than a decade in school (from 1st grade to 12th grade) and I still consider myself weak. My father had a very huge real trauma when he was 16 and he had no severe consequences. I never talked to my parents about the things I experienced in school because I was so ashamed I covered my bruises if they occasionally hurt me, I learned to not cry when anyone sees me. I conditioned myself to keep things inside and showing a well-curated image of myself. So I reached out for help over a decade when I felt my periodic but always increasing isolation despite I am surrounded by loving people and my more and more mood swings which were harder and harder to regulate. It was very hard to open up to my therapist about my experiences in school, he was the first I've ever talked about it, and about my destructive behavior after it at the university. I was also ashamed that after years of conditioning myself to control and repress my emotions, to not show myself even weaker than I already was, when I was free of my bullying situation I lost control. I also remember when at a party during my freshman year from a guy I dated that time how they bullied another boy in high school. I remember as they laughed. I remember I didn't feel anything. No empathy or sorrow, just emptiness. I even struggle today to feel empathy for the victims of bullying. It was months, even half a year when my therapist used the word trauma to my experiences. I was triggered and yelled at him, this was not a trauma. I knew what trauma was. He calmly put down his notebook and look at me. "How would you call if you are exposed to psychological and physical harm and you cannot escape the situation?" He said even a mild car crash can be felt as trauma. He said I have C-PTSD and it is nothing to be ashamed of it. I couldn't believe him when he said he thought I am very strong and resilient that I could build up a successful life. Sorry for the long comment, but I learn how to open up about things that happened with me, and feel my emotions and not try to repress them.

i was molested by a childhood friend several times from when i was around 9-10. i definitely don’t have ptsd, and honestly i’m not sure if it’s even considered a trauma? because at the time she pretended like it was an innocent game and i didn’t realize what it was until i was about 14. but looking back, i don’t have any strong negative feelings about it either. it was just a thing that happened, it sucks but it’s no big deal to me. is this still considered a trauma because of it’s nature or is a trauma only based on how i feel about it?

My mom gave me PTSD and a personality dusorder. She manipulated me so much that I truely believed I had the best mother in the world. I felt lucky, even though she was emotionally and physically abusive. It's so hard to shift my perspective from "my mom is amazing and I'm just ungrateful" to "my mom is abusive and I did nothing wrong". I mildy dissociate a lot and often can't feel much. I'm low contact with my mother but I still feel like I have to fake a relationship with her. I just don't know what to do

Kati, I just recently discovered you, and I love how your work is so helpful in so many ways to so many people. And I loved the hopeful outlook you offered to us folks, letting us know our level of resilience can be built up by helpful things we can do. I imagine I’m not alone as one of those folks who tends to fault myself for not being as resilient as I wish I were, but it’s affected by so many factors. Like our developed attachment styles. Like how our circumstances may have affected our abilities to manage (or not) to develop during important developmental stages (ex: at 2yo, while most kids are practicing saying “no” and potty training and walking and testing their sense of independence, I was helpless in a hospital bed, wetting and soiling myself in a diaper, and dependent upon the professionals who did what they felt needed to be done to me). And, even when we compare ourselves to the siblings who share the same nature and nurture as we do, there are still factors of age difference, order of birth, same or difference of sex, and so many things that influence who we perceive ourselves to be and how we are perceived by our care givers and family members. So many different things can affect our level of resilience, and forgive me if this sounds like trauma dumping, but my parents were killed in a Vietnam bombing and I was not quite two at the time and, thank goodness, I don’t remember it. But I was raised in a home where I developed c-PTSD and have spent almost my entire life wanting to die. I’m 60 now and just within the last two years I’ve finally felt like I was willing to “be.” It’s like a miracle for me! And your video helped me to realize that my ability to withstand 60 years of life is a form of resilience itself. Sending you and your viewers lots of love. I’m so proud of this community!

After being hired in 2011 and telling the physical doctor that I may have M.S. and after being approved for FMLA in 2015 for possible M.S., then fired in 2017 for possible M.S. and with such a rush, attempted to cancel medical insurance for my family and I a month before they were allowed legally, and expecting I die without medical aid as a result of their actions. What is M.S. and how is M.S. diagnosed, with what certainty, if there is no test, everybody might have M.S.?

I really appreciate your videos and especially this one. My son experienced a horrific trauma at age six and then another at age 15. He has seen two apathetic therapists, one of which spent more time talking about her own life and her autistic child (my son is autistic) and reminding my son that her son is "like really really autistic, not like you!" She didn't do any sort of therapy that I could see. Just chitchat and relating every problem he had with her own life. The next one was like a coach. he'd offer these pep talks and tell my son "You just gotta find your passion and get motivated!" He also talks about Jesus healing him and we aren't even Christian, and I've pointed that out a couple times but he always forgets. My son was experiencing hallucinations and had developed alternate personalities. He was hurting himself. He couldn't focus on school work and this guy is telling him to get a part time job. His psychiatrist has helped some. He is now on an antidepressant, mood stabilizer, and an antipsychotic that has really helped him stop seeing the ghost of the person who hurt him (the attacker took his life and my son blames himself for reporting it). But this therapist is suggesting he get a part time job and "think positive!" He needs more. It's not right. The problem is we are on state insurance and we get what we're given. If his therapist isn't a good fit he just has to live with it or do without. I'm trying my best to learn everything I can to help him while I keep pushing for another therapist change. It's hard to find someone who is both experienced with PTSD and ASD. I wish I could find someone who maybe could try EMDR but they always go with DBT and I don't really think they're doing that, just chitchatting and giving him a handout about mindfulness. I'm trying to learn for myself too. I think I probably have CPTSD from continued childhood sexual trauma. I have always just pushed it back to get on, but the older I get the harder it is to keep my head quiet.

I really enjoyed this first time watching one of your presentations. I will check out more. I am searching for a video on how to help my family understand which is difficult to do when its challenging to make sense of all this myself. They were not involved in the trauma. Especially any holiday. My Dr. is currently offering me EMDR treatment. I am going to accept. It has been 6 years since my trauma. I have participated in many types of therapy. I have read a Lot, including The Body Keeps Score. A few months ago I started to think that nothing will make any further change. I managed to overcome a lot but there are a few core issues that seem to cling to me. I watch many online videos, which like you, state that clearing this up IS possible. I've been saying for 6 years, in a coupkle months it will all be ok. 6 years later.... Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Laura
