There is so much stress in the world today. Or, our new globalism has made us aware of our local stress, and then brought about the stress trauma of that extra awareness.
Is there any peace, hope, Light?
It seems the trauma of the Gaslighter causes a trauma that, as described in all our Trauma and Takers books, is
a. a real brain damage
b. since this brain damage is shutting down parts of the brain, a person's resources, memories, abilities, and even hopes becomes truly disabled. This is because so much of what we do is dependent on thinking that utilizes several parts of the brain at once.....and with PTSD Bully Trauma and Gaslight Trauma, that just doesn't happen.
Here's how that works and is seen in situations for "Bill".
a. Anger
Anger is common life emotion for those with PTSD. Why? When Bill gets up in the morning to face his day, he sees in his MIND AND BRAIN only the obligations to be done that day: chores, tasks, pick up the dog poops again it's Wednesday, deal with XYZ bills, struggle to do, get done, the cable company is ripping me off today, there's no good NFL game on today.......
in PTSD, the ancient old reptilian part of the brain still functions: there's anger, chaos, fear.....But, Bill's MIND AND BRAIN is not tapping into his other regions of the brain, which includes these and MORE:
b. lost: one's resources of the mind, a life, experiences (actually, so veiled the seem very lost, but are still in the brain and mind)
hope
his spirituality, held only in the dulled advanced frontal lobes of the brain
choice
experiences, millions, most actually good
his successes in his kids soccer club and making friends
his memories of vacations, including hiking Australia
his accomplishments doing........
nice thoughts about......
It's all gone. Actually, it's there, just veiled or clouded by the PTSD.
So, others see, and Bill sees his life as one ball of frustration and anger. And, he is that with his kids, in a bar fight, and in his divorce. His life....is over as a thriving human with the Attack.
c. Despair
This results in different types of feelings of despair and thoughts of the same. To Bill, this feels very real, as the mind is made to do that. His current reality without the memory bank in his head is one of despair and hopelessness.
One can express this not in creative ways, but as reactions:
in an outward way others are attacked, blames, or even shot
in an inward sense: one knows they're not thriving, one can give up
Why does the mind make this current emptiness feel so real? That is a survival mechanism:
fear the dark
fear threats
fear the monster under the bed
No matter how accomplished or resourceful a person is, this Survival Mechanism takes over:
a. Bill can't get out of bed to face getting the groceries today. Agoraphobia develops for this social, outgoing, and fun person.
b. doing tasks seems too much, and going to his monthly wine tasting club seems worth nothing
c. this is a state of death, as 3 classes of "suicide"
1. almost suicide, a person gives up to the quagmire of despair
2. para-suicide: one gives up on using their seat belt or taking their blood pressure meds: and just accepts an accidental death as their fate, something happening, deserved, and all is out of their control
3. suicide: there is no value to my life.....and there is no value of continuing my life even if suffering if it saves my pets or inspires one of my kids to live life through a struggle.
So, is there any peace, hope, light:
See our books on hope, light, recovery, and rebuilding at:
And, know
The Mind can be awakened, "most of the PTSD veil lifted"
1. Music and art heal the brain
2. There is Light
3. There is peace, which oddly comes by forgiving yourself, a healing process.
Forgive yourself for what, is the question, when the Gaslight attack was perpetrated from the outside?
Forgive yourself for any aspect of being pulled in, caught it.....it's not a blame, and maybe it can't be fully explained....but it is a forgiving of you.
Here's a nice audio, to use as background for any tasks, work, chores.....and it clears some of the veil.
