Hi Everyone!

New here and have to say this forum is amazing as are all of you! Music is a very powerful and healing force indeed. It has been my " savior" through much of my traumatic experiences. Being a musician ( Classical, Jazz, Blues, Progressive guitar) I've seen it change many lives for the better. I've been reminded as of late of this. It has been the only positive "constant" in my life through the years. Pretty epic to see it healing other lives as well! 

Hi Kizzie,

Thanks for the recommendations... Truly.. Thank you Three Roses as well.

Hi there and thanks so much for sharing and responding... My therapist recommended "Safe place" meditations which no longer works. I just try to process what is transpiring best I can. Was also recommened to have a support structure present. Which I no longer have. I communicate with my wife about what is transpiring as reccomended by the past therapist. At times this doesn't go so well. And you are right, I have had codepency challenges off and on. Seems very challenging especially during the Holidays.  I'm open to any recommendations, please.  Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

Just joined this morning. I've a diagnosis of Complex PTSD. Having a tough time with communicating with my Wife on certain challenges specifically emotional flashbacks. I'm kinda stuck in a place of inner fear. When I seek emotional support from her concerning this, it seems rejected at times. At times she's very sweet, others it's "I'm sorry I cant be there emotionally for you right know."  ( Emotionally distant) This causes  further fear and feelings of rejections for me. I don't expect her to be perfect at all just "present." I've tools I use to make my way out of these challelnges provided by my last therapist.... Doesn't always work (Who left town suddenly a few months ago. I've found no new therapist locally who sepecialize in CPTSD. as of yet.) I've not many friends and I'm also a stay at home Dad... (So I try to stay strong and present for the kids.)

So, Not sure what to do... Again feeling rejected, alone and in fear at times. Thanks everyone for being here, reading and sharing.

Thanks and much love....

Hi,
I'm struggling with similiar challenges as well. It can be VERY challenging to process these situations. Just please know you're not alone in experiencing such... Take care and much love...

 

Hi, I'm new to the forum as well and can also relate to many of the emotions and experiences being shared here. I've a Wife and 2 kids and still struggle with lonliness, feeling understood and overwhelming fear at times. It's great too see that there are so many good compasionate people on here that can relate and are supportive. Many wishes of peace and  love for everyone here. And also thanks for having the courage to share with others.... such is not easy.
