Hypervigilance is a word that I hardly ever hear or see, but in my experience it’s usually associated with complex PTSD. You always hit on good stuff in your videos, thank you
The minefield analogy ...I feel like there's a kind of minefield I walk on top of. It's like those minefields that were planted during WWII and Vietnam, that still have unexploded mines. Even her on Hawaii Island they had to remove unexploded WWII devices from the area we call Old Airport, and there's still a risk of unexpoded ordanance in the highly residential Waikaloa area. Anyway...that's how I feel about the bombs that my FOO planted in me. They are dead and gone...but they planted bombs, when I was small and unknowing. And sometimes I'm striding along in my life, happy and feeling accomplished or even just adequate...and BOOM! A mine just exploded under my foot, and blew my leg off up to my kneecap. And I fall and drag myself off behind a bush to try and stop the bleeding...before someone else can show up and kick me while I'm down. Show up and tell me that it was all my own fault; or if I had a better attitude; then the mine wouldn't explode when I step on it. Thank again Anja! Another significant video. I'm so glad that you upload. The M*A*S*H bit about the minefield. 2 1/2minutes. ruclips.net/video/eINilEebFmA/видео.htmlsi=jj9XcxqANznKfKAv
Linda I watched the video thanks. I remember that years ago I went to a talk from a woman, who went to clear minefields that were planted during WWII and Vietnam and I was so full of admiration of her. It just sounded terrifying. And I like you brought it to your own experience, that bombs which have been planted long time ago can detonate even when so much time has passed. That's probably why it's even more important to activate the self compassion. Thanks for your insights. ❤

or if I had a better attitude; then the mine wouldn't explode when I step on it.
