@herbankidd Hi There, I am so sorry by your experience. Take a look at Peter Levine's books, Waking the Tiger, and his second book Healing Trauma, the second book is less technical, and has a self help CD with it. Maybe some expert counselling would help. I am a psychotherapist and have used Somatic Experiencing, ( Peter Levine) Mindfulness and Focusing to help trauma victims. Also Goggle Focusing Institute, to find out more about focusing. Best wishes John
can someone help me out? im 18 yrs old male. when i was probably around 7-8 years old i was molested by my own brother. and i believe this experience has caused me to be very unsocial/awkward. im not able to hold a relationship. now that i look back at it each year that goes by im more socially disconnected. i feel isolated in a way. when i look in the mirror, im kind of puzzled by my own reflection. what can i do so i can live a healthy life with healthy relationships?
Bill O'Hanlon is the one popular author I have respect for Ten Simple Ways to Change Your Life was the one I remember the most. A truly inspiring person
Oh, tyvm for that :) I really had some issue of being sexual abuse, physical abuse and other abuse. I'll try that.

@bugeinator Chaging thinking patterns is CBT, and may not be helpful. My own approach is based on Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness, and focusing.

hahaha! This guy is FOS - he's NOT a trauma survivor and there's no mention of the damage to the Hippocampus evident in (real) PTSD.
