i found this book very helpful on the topic of self compassion

It Wasn't Your Fault: Freeing Yourself from the Shame of Childhood Abuse with the Power of Self-Compassion by Beverly Engel

i bought his audiobooks too so i can listen when im out walking as my mind wanders when im reading

same here. started hanging doors last week...3 out of 5 done, then lost interest and tools just got pushed in to corners while i went fishing and hillwalking
sitting now looking across and the tools have been joined by walking gear and fishing gear and i cant get my head around doing anything about it lol....
main thing though, is that im still moving forward and the things im doing when going off on tangents are mostly healthy for mind, body and soul.
we'll get there eventually

re: the 4 f's...ive started listening to a podcast made by a young couple. she has cptsd.
after the introcuctions in episode 1 she goes in to talking about the 4 f's and it was really interesting. i have to listen to everything a few times as my mind wanders away on tangents. dissociating, perhaps
if you have podcast listening time all the episodes are here https://soundcloud.com/complexitiespodcast

theres an excellent book called "the big book of benefits" which helped me get standard pip on both components.

i happened to bump in to tim fletchers work on youtube a while back and he definitely 'gets' complex trauma. ive learned so much from watching his videos
