A video that explains the most common form of dissociative fugue:

Dissociative disorder, there is so much controversy about it. A while ago I wrote a blog post about what it is like to experience dissociative fugue.
"The stories in this blog post are different. They are about tiny travels—about confusing moments. "

You cannot heal from childhood trauma by reading a blog post.
But here are some thoughts from a trauma-survivor on her way of recovery:
https://healingptsdtrauma.com/post/heal-from-childhood-trauma

"Like many survivors after childhood traumas, I tried to figure out what was expected of me.
In an unsafe environment, that's a necessary tactic. But in real life, it can mess up a lot of things.
And I guess that's one factor that messed up one of my first therapies.
Luckily, I got another chance. This time with a lady who handed the responsibility over to me.
She didn't try to fix me. Instead, she was the guide, the advisor, the Gandalf on my journey. "

Thanks Pioneer <3

Just made a new video with some sound-design Complex PTSD Symptoms (Explained by people who actually have it)

Yeah, it can be a challenge to share stuff like this.

"We didn't choose trauma. We never wanted PTSD. And as much as you hate the way I can be .. I hate it more."

47 trauma survivors sat out to explain what it feels like to have PTSD/CPTSD.
Check out the result:

Yeah, what is it, really?

"I am so sorry for what you went through. I am here for you."
"I believe you."

and the mirroring thing, that's golden! I'll add that to the article! Thanks!

Welcome replies both here and on the blog itself

Oh, sounds marvelous! Internalize it with your heart and soul. Pull it out from your memory whenever needed!

Old topic, but had to answer

What's the most helpful and comforting someone has said to you?
What do you wish someone had said to you in different situations?

I'm writing an article and would love some help!

Thanks buddies!

My head is spinning around....
Would these words make sense?:

O-zone ----> Over Zone
I-zone ---> Ideal Zone
U-zone ---> Under Zone

Yeah, that makes more sense! Thanks!

Yeah, it's kinda "therapeutic" words. I was searching for pictures of the windows of tolerance and these words were on all the pictures. Your suggestions are great, but it would be nice to have one word that describes those states.

Btw, Three Roses I love your description: "CPTSD is an injury, not an illness."
