Bessel van der kolk, the body keeps the score. This man is living in the meta verse.

This helped. Thank you

Pete Walker’s work has had a profound impact on my life. I see a therapist that knows him personally and uses his therapeutic approach. It has changed my life, changed the way I understand my own inner experience, and has healed so much pain. Thank you Pete, from the bottom of my heart 🙏🏼❤

Black man here. I saw the footage of George Floyd and that officer wasn't leaning on his neck. Floyd OD'd. We need to stop making excuses for our trash as a community and that starts by holding his dealer responsible

If only I knew how easy it would be, it’s been over 2 years and I don’t have any cravings at all, for me the key difference was that I didn’t suffer withdrawal, not even within the first 30 days after go’ogling and following Steffon Barkload’s advice and quitting because I just wanted to.

Thank you for posting this.

I never put together before Pete just explained that, that my foggy head is part of depression. THANK YOU

It's a superficial world so u don't get to be sensitive but keep being sensitive xoxox

Thanks

Is there a recovery center that we can attend

Thanks

Hit me deep, people really are just trying to survive 😢❤

How to we forgive ourselves for hurting others? And having so much deep regret and remorse? I’m suicidal everyday in this regard 😢😢😢😢

Haven't been able to cry in over 3 years . 1thing that's caused problems. I'm told constantly that I have no empathy

Don't appreciate how Pete Walker has to interject his liberal viewpoint at times because what does being a liberal have to do with CPTSD?

Genius

Covid made me feel infinitely more connected to people, everyone stayed in touch more and people came together across distances more. It's strange to mourn the loss of an era that included so much death and illness at the very same time. But for those who were already struggling with social isolation and chronic health issues that curtailed energy for social outings, suddenly we were not weird or alone - we were normal.

If there was adequate emotional support, you will be ok. Often our parents did not have emotional safety let alone support. It is no one's fault...

The biggest trauma is not being allowed to develop a positive relationship with yourself...it is the worst thing.

I'm going to get Pete's book. He's speaking my language and I think this would absolutely help me on my journey. Within a few months of my father's death, the gates began to open. I learned that being abused was what was wrong- not with me but what was done to me. I'm changing the tape I lived with for 5 and a 1/2 decades. He's been gone for 4 years. I'm still healing and have a ways to go. That's ok because I'm on the right path now, and he can't get to me.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The testing is so wrong, please correct it, so that People that dont know a lot from befor can understand, and not missunderstand and get confused ❤

I keep getting the words i've tried to stop drinking before and i'll probably fail again if i try again

Great interview of a great humble, honest, genuine authentic author and cosmic human… thank you Joan!☺️👨‍🎨🎨✍🏻👍💫🫵🕯️

I didn't know I had abandonment wounds until I heard Pete explain what it was. Not being special ( my brother was my mother's golden child ) and I had no one to go to for my emotionsl needs. I remember being sexually molested at home by an older cousin, but couldn't tell either parent about it. I also became a fawner, a doormat and people pleaser, my mothers personal slave, denied possibilities, ended up marrying a narc and my abandonment wounds got triggered each time he threatened to leave, by the absence of intimacy and emotional availability in the 25 yr marriage. How do I even begin to heal?

Dear Pete Walker, your book is one of my all times favorites and helped me so much. Thank you very much for your work. I am about to reread it and start writing Down my story because I believe that it Will be therapeutic (not for anyone Else to see) God bless you ❤🤗

So great

It’s so overwhelming. When I try to apply that technique for the inner critic that’s all I’ll be doing. My thoughts are so caustic and hateful towards myself that I have to be vigilant all the time. And I can’t be because it’s exhausting. Then it all comes back and I start over, only to get overwhelmed again. After years of trying to find healing I am at the point where I am giving up. I can feel it happening and it’s terrible.

Its hard to let out the pain and cry

I literally cannot do the fawn response Im too angry inside

I’m so grateful to you…. I love you, you have awoken my soul! Thank you

I have felt every one of these at one point or another... Anger as a child, teen and into my 20s . . It felt more like cancer, killing me & stealing energy at that point... My first escape was books!! B4 drugs, I escaped through literary fiction, fantasy... Ummm... I never wanted medication 4 anything... Until I lost my shit completely at 17.. I'm 44 now.. I didn't know I was traumatized until I was 35... LoL... I tried many times 2 get help... I had no idea what was wrong with me, aside from the never ending DREAD that just stayed one day at 17... It lasted over a decade... I was told I was depressed... Like, oh really!? That doesn't explain why I'm watching myself at events, like a flippin movie and nothing feels real & I'm trippin out... Thinking, is this how I'm going to be from now on? Meanwhile, someone important I care about, is trying to communicate with me and I don't even realize it because my brains in outer space, with no anchor home, watching me standing there and I realize, shit .. I'm supposed to say something... Act normal, ur fine, everything is ok! It's far from it, but I don't know how to express that I've lost my mind to people I hang out with daily! This was 97.. so things are different now.. there wasn't awareness like there is 2day.... All of the different types of disassociation, disregulation, these words are all newer-ish to myself... And B4 there was freeze and fawn, I called it deer in headlights... Because that's what I did... Did I always, absolutely not... Idk.... I've lost it completely, psychotic episodes many times since... And u never loose it the same way twice... I thought I was good, I've already lost my mind, that was the worst and scariest thing I could think of happening 2 me as a kid .. soooo... It was definitely that, but years later I figured, that happened, now what? Still no clue what the heck is going on in my brain or why... Then something would shatter whatever protection id managed to scrape up & id be shattered, different than last time and Everytime, I loose something of myself.... The last time, my sister passed away... It's been 14 years almost and I've been totally numb with crippling anxiety, which makes no sense to me ... Because I feel a lot of nodda, but that stayed! Uggg .. I'm annoyed with myself, for not having any disire to life, ambition, drive, motivation... It all died and it hasn't come back... I didn't even realize for about 18 months, that I had no idea who I was! Like I just forgot everything about myself, that I like to read, cook, paint, dogs, recycled, upcycle... I was just existing on autopilot until it occured to me that this is more than grief & depression... How do u forget who you are!? It's soooo wild! I get it, to an extent.. I don't feel the guilt and shame I did as a kid, not for a long time... I actually worked through that... I realized I was miserable and didn't know hot to be happy, when I made a passive aggressive comment to a very very good friend... I think she got an awesome job, and when we hung up, I asked myself, WHAT THE F IS WRONG WITH U?! And I answered myself... Ur a miserable twat waffle, you hate yourself & want to die and have no idea how to be happy... What?! I was 28... Prolly a little late 2 recognize this... But it jarred me.. I had a son who was 7 at the time... I never cared after 7th grade, what people thought... I knew it was bad, so I gave them reasons 2 hate me, being that they did it Anyway.. but I had friends and didn't need people who didn't like me in my life, f them and I couldn't care less If they're an authority figure, because they were wrong about me and I paid for their judgement, abuse and just lack of noticing how flippin messed up and sad if a child I was.. not that I admitted that to myself even .. I WAS MAD! If I was mad, I wasn't sad and I won, they didn't hurt me... Tee-hee 🤭... That was my rational then... But every year u never cry, doesn't just dissipate into the ether... Its all bottled up inside... That's why it's important to cry... All the tears we never thought to cry... Or denied, whatever the reason... Anger is pain... And it turns to rage and it will kill u if u don't squish it! So... My kidd opinion was the first person's opinion, I ever gave any Fs about... I thought that if I died, he'd hear some horrible things, cuz I wasn't very nice.. and then I stumbled upon a quote... What u see in other people is what u see in yourself... So I used that to catch any negative thoughts I had, like always, about every1... And think something positive about them instead... And it became natural 4 me to see what's beautiful in people.. even when they themselves cannot see it... Whatever... That was the first major change I needed to make... Accountability for the crap id done that was wrong & I didn't want to be that person... So guilt has been a major teacher for me personally.. I raised myself and did a horrible job... So, I learned things the hardest ways possible, everything and Everytime... I'm grateful that I have the capacity to accept that I'm not perfect and change tho... Self love.. F THATS SO SO SO hard... I've been on stuck as a hermit, recluse for 14 years almost and Im in therapy... I actually like my therapist a lot... I just hope there's a way to activate the parts of myself that feel completely dead... Like I murdered who I was and she's straight up dead dead dead .. that's how it feels... Because I'm not anything like who I ever was... I haven't been sexually active in a decade and the thought makes me nauseous... What the heck!?

Shit sound 😢

This is such a refreshing change from the black and white thinking of other recovery programs

Hi Can you upload all of them? I think there’re 37 videos and you’ve uploaded a few them. Can you please upload the rest? Thanks 🙏

22 years sober from alcohol. Studied addiction and foreign languages culture neurodivergence and now have so much more understanding to enable me to use cannabis moderately to help me with dysregulation and anxiety. People are being misinformed about abstinence from all substances being essential to recovery. I see people struggling and beating themselves up for poor quality of life trying to work programmes. I also see 'gurus' with don't seem to understand other people's experiences are unique to them

Healing as a marathon. The last man standing is us, never giving up on ourselves 💖

This was fantastic. I'm so glad you shared this. I've been "trying" to do irest and other yoga nidra for years, but I get anxiety when focusing on the breath. And most sessions do have at least some component of that. This particular session had no focus on breathing. I'll be returning to it again and again. It will be a life saver (really.). Thanks again.

This is incredibly helpful, thank you both so much 🙏🏻❤️

Why did this just seem like an interesting topic and here I am listening while cleaning and crying on a Thursday. Ok need to order this book

This is so relatable. I am a textbook fawner. I calmed my alcholic narcissistic father down and was my enabler mother's therapist. I hate them both but I am trying to forgive. I was also called gifted and precocious which is funny. Literally becoming my parents slave is so messed up.

Love you Pete … One of the best there is xxx

Why would you go help hired assassins who went/go to Afghanistan to steal land/natural resources to expropriate and murder Indigenous people there?

Excellent, excellent, excellent!! This helps me grow and soooo many others also.

Thank you Scott 🙏

I've been diving back into Pete's books since being re traumatized last year. I take away something new every time I read them.

I absolutely obsessed about running away all the time as a teen and did when I was getting yelled at, until I felt better then returned. I moved out at 17 (from my Catholic parents) and never went back. I struggled, I starved, I made poor choices until I decided to join the Air Force after high school and that was the BEST decision I ever made for my life ❤
