Navigating Vulnerability for Healing Complex Trauma
Manage episode 496541662 series 3612721
When you are dealing with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), therapy can feel deeply frustrating, not just for you, but for your therapist too. Your protective walls and fear of vulnerability make perfect sense given your history of relational trauma. But these same defenses can leave even skilled therapists overwhelmed, wondering how to truly reach you beneath the layers of attachment anxiety and guardedness.
I get it. I have walked exactly this path, felt that same relentless unease, and struggled with the vulnerability required for deep healing. Here is the thing your anxious Parts need to know: your resistance is not something broken or wrong. It is the natural outcome of growing up without genuine emotional safety.
In this episode, I share a fresh perspective. Your healing does not begin with therapy, it begins with learning to become safely vulnerable with yourself first. You cultivate self-soothing skills, internal clarity, and authentic truth resonance within. From that foundation, your relational healing becomes not just possible, but inevitable.
Less drama. More genuine security. Finally.
