It's not your fault you struggle to validate yourself. You're doing what you saw modeled & what the culture models every day: reflexive invalidation. Understanding validation not as a touchy feely luxury, but rather a nonnegotiable trauma recovery tool, takes time & practice.

In realistic trauma recovery it matters we meet our reflexive avoidance w/ compassion & validation, even as we strategize how to do the thing anyway.
Calling ourselves "stupid" or "weak" for instinctively wanting to avoid a thing will only shut us down & deepen our reluctance.

Realistic trauma recovery acknowledges even on our worst day, we have strengths & skills. Bad days absolutely suck, & the suck is real-- but they don't erase who you are or what you bring to the table. The suck does not negate your worth. The suck does not define or defile you.

If we reject toxic positivity, as we should, we also need to reject Trauma Brain's reflexive negativity & skepticism about our abilities & worth.
Do not automatically buy into CPTSD's sh*tty story about you because it happens to feel consistent w/ your old programming.

I know they're saying it to be sweet, but when anyone tells me something like, "Oh, it's okay, you're family" I immediately cringe.
That phrase is honestly more of a threat to some people rather than reassurance.

Our abusers did not just hurt us-- they programmed into us a story about who we are & what we deserve that sounds very convincing, because we were vulnerable when it was conditioned into us.
Their story about us is just BS (Belief Systems-- but also the other kind of "BS").

Does anybody find it interesting to listen to the vocabulary that specialists from any sort of medical field use?
No? Just me? Okay.

Hating the version of ourselves we were then, the person who went through the worst of our trauma, does nothing for our recovery now. All it does is teach our nervous system that we're willing to turn on ourselves eventually.
Don't hate past "you." Forgive & hold them.

Siren Alligators might be the most specialized human predators. These pack hunters have two distinct ways of mimicking our species.
Juveniles thrash in the water near ships, using their face-like throat markings to appear like a drowning person. The pack attacks when someone attempts a rescue.

If I let myself go on autopilot, I'd never stop hating myself or doing things that sabotage my goals. That's what trauma conditioning does to us-- & why we have to CHOOSE compassionate self-discipline (not bullsh*t "tough love"), even (especially!) when it feels "unnatural."

Progress in trauma recovery is not black & white. It's always-- always-- a mixed bag. So you're having a sh*t day as you read this? Just do what you can to be kind to & safe w/ yourself today. That's a successful recovery day.
F*ck "perfect" or "awful." We're works in progress.
