Default Re: My Story

Unregistered,

Thanks for sharing your story. So many things you've said make me desperate that somehow members, and particularly church kids, still stuck in "the Lord's recovery" could get help and get out.

I think there are a fair amount of people who leave the local church either with PTSD or with complex PTSD. Is there anything you can share about your process of healing that might help others who are stuck and spinning their wheels and can't seem to get to a place where they feel normal and not just barely making it through each day? With complex PTSD there is much more than just a cognitive component. Simply being removed from the environment or intellectually comprehending things won't bring the healing that is needed, because the wounds are harbored by the whole body and soul. I think many people probably languish in a grey zone, not knowing how to get real help. If you have any advice, or recommendations, or personal experiences of what helped you, it may be valuable to others reading or lurking.
