More importantly we must understand what “rest” REALLY is. Scrolling on your phone in bed is not true rest for your nervous system, it’s just more dissociation.

Can I just say I love the saying little t and big T . As someone who constantly questions if she’s allowed to complain and if she’s sick enough that’s really helpful to categorize it that way ❤️

I use to be so bright, smart, creative, active, everything before my big tea trauma and now I just feel exhausted and in flight all the time, my brain feels fried, my creativity has dunked, but I have no idea how to rest or get it to stop 💀

My body, brain, nervous system is fried. My responses are fried. My thinking is fried.

Traumatic experiences can shatter foundations of identity you have. They can rupture you to your core

On one video they said ”resting is punk” and that reminded me of the new Superman movie where they say kindness is the new punk rock. So, resting is punk but it’s also kindness to yourself which again is super punk!

No wonder I never felt guilty for resting as mcuh as I could because I knew I needed it, especially when I was processing certain intense experiences that were negative

Hello! I work in this field and just wanted to share that we are moving away from ‘little and big t’ as descriptors. It can be seen as passing judgement on the events & our judgements are always informed by biases. Good luck with your studies!

I was diagnosed with CPTSD. I have an exam on Monday and I'm completely wiped due to an emotionally exhausting week. I felt guilty for resting. I always feel guilty for resting. Because I "should have gotten over it by now". This has really helped. Thank you❤️

genuine question tho: how do I stop feeling tired when I've rested like I can't spend the rest of my life resting?

I’ve spent the last two decades resting. 37 & finally feel like I’m healing my nervous system. I wish people around me knew how hard it is to simply function as a normal human being sometimes.
