Hello everyone. Haven't been here for a week or so because I had to take my family to the beach. (Hard life)
I took the opportunity to get into Peter Walker's book which in many respects is extremely insightful. He seems to cover all aspects of CPTSD which is good but in some ways its tricky to know where to start. Its 'difficult to see the wood for the trees' and I find that quite terrifying. I was so happy to have come to roost when I found out about complex PTSD but now I feel or can see so more clearly what is wrong in my life that it all looks a bit daunting - almost impossible.
Years and years of compounding the problems caused by my childhood are not going to get a quick fix if ever they will be at all. I think that 1/2 understanding what happens to me with EFs and negative thinking are causing me to spend more time in self contemplation than before. This is very tiresome and frankly I feel like I need a holiday!
Mr Walker also has an answer for everything. This is part of the 2 steps forward, 1 back process I guess. I just hope that I'm on the right road at last because it looks like a long one starting off with a long tunnel. Its all a bit emotionally draining and I've only just started scratching the surface.
Well, there enough metaphors for a while! Hope someone can relate to what I'm trying to say.
