Life can be a Pain

[Historylover]

Thank you for your kind thoughts, @Anastasia.  None of us should be going through all of this trauma.  Trauma got us in this situation and continuing trauma keeps us here.  Who will help us?  Who will have the courage?

@Historylover  I hear you. I suspect the stock-standard 'CBT + mindfulness' approach that is fairly common is something that just won't cut it for... well most people here in fact. These approaches aren't worthless, but they aren't enough for a lot of folks (or they are downright inappropriate).

It seems you have also experienced first-hand the difference connection and community makes for individuals. I'm so glad that is something you are getting here in the forums as well. I really hear you when you are talking about how frustrating it is to have to educate professionals. Trauma-informed care needs to be the foundation of all MH work, not some niche specialisation. I wish I could offer more than this but... well I hope you find someone who matches your needs soon.

Re 'CBT + mindfulness' - you're absolutely right. 

Thank you for your well wishes and kindness @Jynx.  I hope so too.

Nice to hear from you, @Adge.  Hope you are doing alright.

I'm having an early night.  Goodnight,folks.

You are spot on -
