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 can read it here:

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. "

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:

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

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

Old topic, but had to answer :)

General Discussion / What to say to someone with PTSD?

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!

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

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

#14
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."
