@mindbrainbodylab: Think you’re too self aware for therapy? (You’re Not) I see these kinds of people all the time. They have a PhD in their problems, know the patterns the traumas, why this thing triggers that thing, and yet, they’re stuck. Why? Because it’s the story they’re prove to themselves daily. Each thought they have makes them more certain they’re broken and no one can help them. This is a victim mindset in disguise, yeah, I said it. You don’t need to rationalize your trauma, you don’t need to explain your baggage, you don’t need to intellectualize your wounds, you need to heal them by getting outta your own way. Fear drives these behaviors. They would rather prove to themselves and everyone around them that they’re “too smart/aware” to get help, because truly seeking help is scare. They have no idea what’s underneath the surface level understanding of their issues and it’s terrifying. I don’t say this to judge these people, I am one of them. This exact pattern is one I’ve had to learn how to overcome. Think about how powerful my excuses were… I’m literally trained in trauma therapy… If there’s anyone who could be considered “too aware” it’s me, but I’m not, and I was blinded by the same pattern above. If I can do it, you can do it too. #healing #therapy #traumahealingjourney #recovery #selfhelp #therapist
