"I am conducting a study to investigate whether adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) & domestic voilence/ intimate partner voilence makes men feel like they don't matter. With suicide being the biggest killer in men under 40, could this be a contributing factor? https://forms.gle/quJ9eBKJ1eAuU3Dz7 "
“Moscow is silent” was Putin’s #trauma in Dresden during the fall of the Berlin Wall, therefore his Moscow will be dragged into the future, kicking and screaming, whether it likes it or not. https://mstdn.social/
2x 12h de sommeil \o/ Et vu ma tête d’hier, je me considère comme malade 🤪
Mon cerveau, hier, en boucle : oui mais ça aussi c’est pas juste ce qui s’était passé 😭😭😭
Mon coeur : oui, pleure, cette émotion va passer, tu es sécurité maintenant
Mon cerveau : c’est vrai 🥲
Since I've only been on here a week I'm posting a 2nd #introduction ...I'm Bryan (duh) in #Ottawa, almost 50 (embracing it), #bisexual cat dad (my baby's turning 5 in June), here for some #queer content, maybe some music (I'm a #disco and #edm fanatic), movies (keen on #horror right now), some real talk about ME / #CFS, #trauma / #PTSD / #CPTSD, and I might talk about working out and cooking (because no one's ever done that online). Here's a 30-year-old photo of me, I look EXACTLY the same now.
The goal: to have a comprehensive data driven understanding how multi-generational trauma shapes implicit bias in institutions, groups, familes etc and how it intertwines DK in community leaders.
So that we can work together to address these issues together!
Earlier this month, the #Canadian#Medical Association Journal published a study that said nationally, the annual number of #opioid#overdose deaths doubled between 2019 to 2021. Dr. #GaborMaté, an #addiction expert, says the link between addiction and #trauma is a #ScientificFact. With that in mind, he says ‘it is not accidental’ that #Indigenous populations in #Canada are at a #HigherRisk of developing addictions.
That moment when you're complaining to a family member about a relative's super toxic behavior and they proceed to unpack 80 years of family #trauma beginning with the aftermath of #WWII and onward...
Something I haven’t talked about publicly because I’m scared someone in my family will see it:
In trying to heal my #BPD and #cPTSD I’ve had to dig deep into my childhood and look for the roots of my #trauma.
And this time… I found them. Or rather - “it”. There is just one root for all of my many many many mental health troubles and life issues for as long as I remember.
It’s my mother.
My mother, who I still maintain contact with. She was my abuser.
How do you process that the person who you thought was your “good” parent actually controlled, manipulated, and punished you into a completely distorted worldview where you saw everything as evil, broken, and abhorrent other than her?
How can you go on knowing your mother actively starved, physically tortured, mentally devastated, and broken you for every year of your existence?
How can you live when your own mother repeated you don’t deserve to exist? #BPD#cPTSD#trauma
NEW: The first years of the COVID-19 pandemic are behind us, but an early reckoning is making it clear that we failed to learn from the past and have yet to come to terms with the loss of life and society-wide trauma.
In this episode of "Civic," an epidemiologist shares how a lack of public trust led to unnecessary deaths, AIDS activists discuss the importance of facing trauma and a woman who lost her father to COVID is fighting for a memorial for those who died.
