Living with a dissociative disorder. Static for brains. He/They. This specific account is meant to be a living document of moments things felt clear, reasons to hope for more, reasons to keep going. CSA and trafficking survivor.

About: I’m an adult survivor of CSA, incest, trafficking, & I live with a dissociative disorder as a result. I have spent many years in treatment and learning how to live. Over the last year, I have glimmers of clarity and inner connection that make the pain and work of recovery feel worth it.
I balk at discussing my system openly because it feels so… some kinda way.
But we’ve had several alters attend therapy every week for years, doing the heavy lifting and rebuilding our sense of stability and safety internally, without shame. Grateful for them, too, for learning how to do the work.

Childhood trauma makes our lives so damn small, so limited in experience and vision. When other people feel like a threat, reading becomes in invaluable tool to open up our world.
"Read wide & deep. Read like your recovery depends on it." Amen. Read to build out our recovery world.

Trauma recovery hack: read. Read things that you know were written by humans. Read memoirs, biographies, fiction, & poetry. Humans have known things about realistic trauma recovery since before psychology was a field. Read wide & deep. Read like your recovery depends on it.

It’s real! It’s all real. It’s so disorienting to wake up one day and learn that my memory never lied, that I was right to be so afraid that I hid from my own mind, and to suddenly have that fear and doubt dematerialize. I intellectually understand derealization as a protective function,

No matter the trigger, it's never the wrong response to push pause, step back, breathe, & check in w/ ourselves. Whatever the trigger is, we're going to need space, self-awareness, & oxygen to process it & respond intelligently.
When in doubt, hit up those basics.

Last night I was eating vanilla ice cream with rumchata poured over it and realized I was grateful to be alive so I could experience it.
So I guess that’s the first real entry: vanilla ice cream, rumchata, chocolate sauce, and a cookie for a spoon.
