Dysregulation refers to the inability to regulate your brain function and nervous system, which has physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. With CPTSD, our history of trauma can leave our nervous system always engaged in fight or flight, and we become extra sensitive to stress and other triggers.

For CPTSD survivors, dysregulation is generally caused by a trigger. This can be a seemingly ordinary or mild event, but it triggers an unconscious flashback to the feelings of a past traumatic or emotionally upsetting experience.

3 years of struggling with my CPTSD, my healing has been difficult to handle. It affects my self confidence, my identity and it makes it very difficult for me to accept the reality of what CPTSD is to me. My parts often are triggered and take over, I as the adult am often blended with my Child Parts and so my reality of what life is and each situation I face is not what's actually happening. Believing my child parts skews the truth about most things in my life and I have to learn to see that reality isn't necessarily the truth.

I am learning and it takes a lot of effort, time and set backs to get there so I am sharing my struggles with you and showing all of you just how important it is to do your work and process.

Dealing with Complex Trauma like mine I have parts that I am struggling to update and gain their trust. I am making progress but they are not always willing to listen and be updated. I cannot be hard on them and I can't blame them or treat them with any disrespect because all that will do is create worse issues and they'll trust me even less. I have to be patient but I also have to work harder with my processing so that this will pay off as you get closer to healing. Listen to my podcast episode and see how stressful being blended with this child part is.
