Hey everyone,

Seeing as many of us don't have access to actual therapy -for various reasons- I wanted to start a thread for sharing free online resources that we have found useful.

My personal favorites are mostly on YouTube.

Jerry Wise is a certified life coach and family counselor who has personal experience with difficult/narcissistic parents. He posts regular full length videos that I have found very insightful, validating and helpful.

Jay Reid is a licensed clinical therapist who focuses mainly on adult scapegoat children of narcissists. His material is incredibly helpful in a way that often brings up a lot of repressed emotions for me. I mean that in a good way, but it can get pretty taxing.

Patrick Teahan may already be familiar to most of us, he's a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with personal experience growing up in a very toxic family an

Just trynna expand my support but not a fan of discord.

Hi there, I made this account today, I've always been pretty active in the CPTSD community on reddit, but I plan on leaving reddit entirely. So now I'm wondering if anyone is actually on here or if there's a different more active place I should check out.

Thanks for reading!

On Thursday, I met with a therapist who ran through the ACES inventory with me during our session.

It’s been a wild ride since then. Never have I felt so much validation and relief, and never have I wanted to get started with the healing process so much. At long last, there’s a name for what I’ve felt over the past 36 years, and more importantly there’s a treatment protocol.

I truly thought I was alone, especially after my encounter with a different therapist some 20 years ago. No one was talking about c-PTSD back then.

Yesterday I could hardly sleep, as it often happens. I let my emotional dysregulation (learned that has a name too!) run wild, intentionally, to pull together a list of all the traumas I faced. I could scarcely sleep until I had written everything down.

Just sharing my joy at being understood.

…have you ever not been anxious every single moment of the day?

Yeah, me neither.
