#trauma awareness

[moonlit-positivity]

There is no "right" or "wrong" way to react to trauma. There is only survival. You do what you can until you can get out and get safe, and that is the only thing that should ever matter. You deserve to be respected for how you cope with your pain. But you also deserve to be respected enough to know you're worth the effort to heal and seek recovery if you so choose.

Orihime's PTSD

Orihime's reaction to witnessing Ichigo's Hollow side during his fight with Grimmjow in "Bleach" likely stems from a combination of factors, including post-traumatic stress and possibly trauma even after what happened to her late brother Sora... who became a Hollow.

Orihime's traumatic past, particularly her experiences with abuse and the loss of her brother Sora, have likely left deep emotional scars. Witnessing Ichigo's transformation into a Hollow might've triggered those bad memories and feelings of helplessness. The sight of Ichigo succumbing to his inner darkness and becoming a Hollow likely evokes feelings of terror and dread, as she fears losing another important person in her life.

Orihime cares deeply for Ichigo and values their friendship. So seeing him in such a vulnerable and dangerous state definitely evoked a sense of powerlessness and despair, as she struggled to comprehend the severity of the situation and the potential consequences for Ichigo and those around him.

Thankfully, Nel recognizes Orihime's distress and offers her words of comfort. Despite her child-like appearance, she reassures Orihime that Ichigo possesses the strength and determination to overcome any obstacle, urging her to have faith in him and his abilities. Nel's words uplifted Orihime's spirits and bolster her confidence in Ichigo, instilling her with the resolve to stand by him and support him through his battle.

Remember that Hollows represent a terrifying and unpredictable threat, symbolizing the darker aspects of the spiritual world and the dangers that lurk within. Her encounters with Hollows, including her late brother, who became one left a lasting impact on her psyche, which contributes to her fear when faced with Ichigo's Hollow side for the first time.

there are abusive marginalized people who weaponize prejudice and oppression against their victims.

an example is abusive women. they can twist feminist concepts to suit their aims. they can gaslight men victims by saying they just need to "man up," or tell them they're the real abuser/only men can abuse. they can utilize the way women are seen as "weak," or "nurturing," or "nonsexual" to fly under the radar, especially with sexual abuse. they can abuse their children and make "a mother's love" excuses. and they can especially use other areas of privilege (like being abled) or marginalization (like being queer) to further this.

the list goes on. i say this to remind you anyone can be an abuser, and marginalized people don't have to be innocent people to have rights. not only does "innocence" moralize marginalized identities and defeat the purpose of human rights, but you don't need to ascribe everyone an air of safety and credibility; remembering that could put you in a better position to recognize red flags - in others interactions, and your own.

Stinky Bear Motivation ✨❤️

Fear needs to be met with comfort and safety. Anxiety is all about fear. Define the fear, put a name to your worries, and then meet yourself with comfort and make a safety plan for what could possibly go wrong.

You deserve to be comforted through the fears! Feel the fear and snuggle it anyway!

I've talked a bit about this before but if someone tells you they feel like their trauma wasn't bad enough to be valid and your response is to just start talking about """big T and little t trauma""" I hate you and sincerely hope you step on glass.

All that you're saying is essentially "Oh you feel like your trauma isn't bad enough compared to other traumatized people and it's causing you a lot of emotional turmoil? I have the solution! Here are two arbitrarily created boxes I've called 'Big Scary Traumatizing Valid Events' and 'small events but you're having reactions so I guess we have to acknowledge you', and you're actually in that second box! You actually don't have the same problem as the Big Scary Event People! They have the big problem and you have the little one! Do you feel better yet?"

Like, I've already talked about how trauma and its severity is subjective and the Big T vs little t bullshit has no set definition and varies wildly from person to person, but even setting that aside, do you think creating another box and separating the """little t people""" from other survivors is going to make them feel more valid and secure? Epescially how when people talk about """little t trauma""" they always talk about it like "oh the event wasn't that bad but you had a Big Reaction and it was your Feelings that caused the trauma" like...you're essentially saying they're overreacting disguised with a bunch of therapy buzzwords.

"The event wasn't that bad but we still feel hurt 😢😢😢". Go fuck yourself. ESPECIALLY when therapists/psychiatrists/etc tell this to their clients. To have a professional tell you your trauma doesn't fit into 'bad event box' and is just caused by you overreacting does so much fucking damage. Professionals should fucking know better, especially if you claim to be trauma informed.

Just say "Trauma is any event where the brain feels it is in danger, and trauma symptoms are simply when the danger response prolongs past the event. Doubting your experiences and the validity of them is a very common and severe trauma symptom. It's a way of your mind trying to separate itself from the trauma to protect you from the pain of it, and it's observed in almost all survivors with all kinds of trauma. In cases where the trauma is abuse, it's also indictive of severe psychological abuse using methods like gaslighting and other kinds of manipulation."

There. Gets the message across better than telling them they're just apart of the 'not that bad' group of survivors.

God I hate the wellness TikToker-ification of trauma discussions.

Traumatic psychology/psychiatry experience flag

[PT: Traumatic psychology/psychiatry experience flag /END PT]

A awareness flag for those who experienced trauma with psychology or psychiatry, and also those who don’t have trauma with it but bad experiences. This is in honor for people who tried to cure their neurodivergence but psychology or psychiatry harmed them in some way, people who had terrible experiences with therapy, and etc.

I decided to make this flag, because we aren’t represented and our experiences are almost always invalidated and ignored even by other neurodivergent people! We have our own right of choice to not recover or seek other ways to heal ourselves, whatever makes us more happy!

[IMAGE ID: The image features a lilac and white checkered or grid pattern filling a square-shaped frame. At the center of the image, there's a white square that contains the psychology symbol. The design conveys a sense of simplicity and elegance. /END ID]

Lilac and white are typical colors of healing, it represents our internal or external alternative healing methods. Psychology symbol with an X in it shows that we’re tired, we don’t want to be in a harmful environment anymore

Please this is a coining blog, discourse isn’t allowed.

Trauma is not an excuse it’s a reason

[kingmagnificoofrosas]

Disney is now trying to say that Magnifico was always evil and that throughout the movie his facade gradually cracks so we see the “evil true self”.

That is not true. The only true self we see is someone who is deeply affected by unresolved trauma. And it’s not like he bottled anything up or hid anything. He told Amaya exactly why he was scared and what had him so upset. He tried to explain to Asha how the wishes worked, why the system was the way it was, and why he couldn’t grant every wish. He told people about what happened in his past with his family. Every time this man was scared, upset, sad, angry, frustrated, he spelled out exactly how he felt and why.

But no one bothered to listen or take him seriously until it was too late and his paranoia came to a head with the evil book. And then he gets punished in the worst possible way, with everyone going on about how there were “red flags” or that they don’t understand why he’s evil. Why didn’t anyone listen to him and help??

So Disney can take their gaslighting and mental health stigmas and shove it. Magnifico wasn’t evil, he was mentally ill and emotionally neglected. If they want to go on about seeing the characters’ true selves in this movie, look at Amaya, Asha, and everyone else. When his concerns weren’t being ignored, he was having people he thought he could trust use him, go behind his back, steal his wishes, and completely ruin everything he worked so hard to build up.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! GO ANON GOO!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

You hear that folks? Someone give this person a stage and a microphone, a megaphone and loud speakers!!! We need to shout this truth into every corner!!!

YES! YES! YESSSS! Disney can shove their gaslighting, trauma denying attitude where the sun doesn't shine!!!

ANYONE calling this man a villian needs to take their brain, run it under cold water, or sparkling water to get all the dirt out, shake it and put it back in.

Look at this adorable gem of a man! Every single reaction we see him make is genuine! Not once does he "ACT" he's been his true self until the moment he got posessed.

So whatever lies disney is trying to shove down our throats. We ain't having it!!!

He's a ray of sunshine 💙

Very gentle reminder that no one is watching you. No one is waiting outside to hurt you, mock you, belittle you, or cause you harm. People are walking around in their own heads probably worrying about their own issues and worrying if anyone is noticing them. They're too busy wondering the same things to think any differently about you.

And even if they were, you're a pretty awesome person anyway. They're probably thinking really good things about you. Like how nice your shirt looks, or how cool ur hoodie is. People are actually a lot nicer than you'd think. 🌸

[desiretoadore]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but it’s okay if you’re not over it!! It’s okay to still be grieving, it’s okay to still be angry, it’s okay to still be sad, emotions are important and are meant to be felt! It doesn’t matter how long it’s been, the process of moving on is long and non-linear and different for everyone! I know society tends to push this idea that there’s only acceptable amount of time to be upset about the past before people think it’s weird, but please don’t let that make you feel ashamed! Take your time to feel how you feel. Don’t feel pressured to forgive others who harmed you if you don’t want to either, it’s not necessary for you get over it! But please, do try to forgive yourself. 💕

…

🌸🌙 - Comship: Complex shipping! This means you support/personally ship ships that may include huge age gaps or things that could not happen in real life. (Ex. Selfcest)

…

🎱🎀 - Darkship: This means that you ship/support the shipping of incest, p*dophilia, abusive, and any other ship dynamics that are considered dark or taboo. (Ex. Abuser x Victim)

Some people’s wounds don’t turn into wisdom nor are they supposed to. Sometimes they are just that, wounds. Some people are just surviving and that is enough to be proud of them for. Not everyone’s trauma has to be inspirational or something they help others with. Normalize letting trauma survivors be just that, survivors, because I think that takes an immense amount of courage, strength and bravery.
