The last few years I have spent time, energy and effort on healing from past childhood trauma. Living with the psychiatric disabilities: bipolar 1, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), I have experienced both depression and debilitating anxiety.

As I find my way “out of the fog” and gain more clarity, I am even more invested in my recovery. The following is a letter I wrote to myself to honor the process of healing and to give myself permission to love myself more fully.

A letter to remind myself of the freedom that awaits and of my immense potential. Sometimes, we forget to give ourselves the permission we need to make mistakes, to cultivate self-compassion and to be gentler in the process.

Why I Have to Keep My Chronic Illness a Secret to Keep My Career
Before my identity was intrinsically intertwined with my (sometimes visible) invisible illness, I identified first and foremost as a performer and singer. I started at a very young age and it became my dream to perform as my career. Long story short, my dream is in the process of coming true after working hard for many years through university and postgraduate study.

The Infinite Benefits of Including Students With Disabilities
I was in my daughter’s middle school for a meeting with some of her teachers. As I was walking down a hallway with a few of them they stated, “Look, there is Yassy! She is cycling away. We hear she loves to go in that room and ride the bike for the whole gym class. She is in great shape.”  I looked in the room and there weren’t many other kids in there. It was new, with a glass wall, so I saw her and took this photo. It is blurry because I was trying to be quick, so as not to distract her.

Defining Who I Am After Childhood Trauma
There’s a trend going around TikTok where people appear, dressed to match their careers or personalities and rap a few simple lines that tell you who they are and what they like. It’s the ultimate way to introduce yourself if you can stay on beat and know how to rhyme. Maybe if this trend on TikTok would have went viral three years ago, I would have been shooting a video of myself in my minivan as I ran all over town, dropping kids off and running errands before going home and working until the wee hours of the morning, before getting up the next day and doing it all over again. But that was three years ago. If I had to introduce myself now, I’d start with a single phrase.

The Science of Why Strong Emotions Are Harder to Tolerate After Trauma
Peter had a rough childhood, dealing with an aggressive father and a submissive victimized mother. He internalized the father’s aggressive ways and mother’s low self-value; he performed to the best of his abilities the role of the mother’s protector, the father’s controller, and the responsible only child. Those circumstances dysregulated his nervous system in an unceasing way, a characteristic that led him to develop complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD).

Why Perfectionism Became My Response to Childhood Trauma
I have always been a perfectionist. It’s my contention that I came out of the womb that way. An innate mechanism within me functioned at such a high standard that I constantly got told I was “an old soul” and “mature for my age.” Not only could I juggle numerous tasks at once, but I also had the capacity to read the world and everyone around me, gauging it for perceived danger and adapting my behavior accordingly. You could say it was a superpower, and in fact, it was a very clever adaptation or coping strategy for dealing with a traumatic upbringing.

Exploring COVID 'Long Haulers' from a Trauma-Informed Perspective
As we heard more and more news about COVID-19, I remember feeling both afraid and not-afraid of the virus. I felt almost fatalistic; it seemed like there wasn’t really anything any of us could do about it anyway, leading to a kind of immobility. You might get it, you might not. I’ve shared my body with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) for 28 years, over half my life; in my experience, the body would do what it was going to do.

It’s taken me a year to recover from burnout and I’m not sure I’m even entirely ready yet to write this article, but here I am giving it a crack. Going through the toughest 12 months of my life I’ve learned a lot about myself, my self-worth, values and building a different life that is more balanced with a strong connection to purpose.

If you’re a committed fan of the television show “This Is Us,” then you’re already aware that the series is full of deep, emotional moments. The series has tackled hard-hitting topics like alcoholism, grief, racism and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) over the past five seasons. However, I don’t think any of us predicted the shining moment for Kate that occurred in Tuesday night’s episode titled “A Long Road Home.”

Listening to My Body on My Trauma Recovery Journey
I always knew addressing my trauma was inevitable; at some point, I needed to address the thoughts and sensations that occurred deeply within my own psyche and body. I did not know that it would happen aged 24, shortly after a nine month stay in a treatment center that changed my life. Recovering from trauma is rarely linear, similar to an addiction. The process can be grueling, exhausting and mentally testing. Addressing extensive trauma is not for the weary and requires an immense amount of strength to speak up and let one’s own story be known. J.K. Rowling, known for her vibrant Harry Potter series, has a truthful take on what it means to be courageous:

When Healing From Trauma Means Researching Your Own Memories
Somewhere in the back of my mind is a box of memories. Though they belong to me, the contents are still a mystery. Most of what’s inside was too scary for me to look at for very long, before it was quickly shoved inside. Over time, the unspoken grew bigger, scarier.

How HBO Max's 'The Flight Attendant' Spoke to Me as a Trauma Survivor
Ever since I was a child, movies and television have been my favorite form of escapism. 2020 has not only not been an exception to that, but rather a reinforcement of the ways in which getting lost in stories can be a powerful source of mental health during challenging times. I often mention the shows I’m watching and any interesting observations I’ve made about them in therapy, so when my therapist suggested I watch “The Flight Attendant” on HBO Max because “It has some really great inner child work.” My curiosity was piqued.

A mantra I like to use by Louise Hay is “There’s always enough time for me to do what I need to do.”Focus only on finding the right job for you.
