Disarming PTSD with art, poetry, and intuition will show what PTSD from child abuse looks and feels like. This book is actually a story of hope set in a path of recovery that flows back through the senses, feelings, thoughts, self-beliefs, family programming, mindsets, and buried childhood experiences. This book presents the steps of a process for HSP’s healing from child abuse.
PTSD from child abuse is a continuous string of events, memories, and flashbacks of memories or perceptions, sensations, and uncontrollable situations from our childhood that have become “stuck” in our minds. They can reappear like a repeating piercing loop of negative parental or societal comments, admonitions, poking and prodding at us.
These repeating negative messages can push us HSP’s into a “poor-me-victim identity” that alienates us from society. Rebelling against them will feel like a young child in a temper tantrum.
In this book, I have described my lifelong experiences with the mental and emotionally destructive aspects of family child abuse both in the narrative format and in art and poetry.
It was my intent to show both the real-life events and the effect of such restrictive and harassing parental admonitions on our self-identity and self-image. These harsh parental comments become our internalized mind self-talk.
Then I’ve added a very effective, simple process of confronting these thoughts and feelings
analyzing them to hear their messages, heal them, and restore our Spiritual intuitive connection
which will lead us back to our wholeness and our power.
The reflective journaling questions scattered throughout this book will give the reader an opportunity to look at his “stuck” energy, his unhealed parent’s childhood experiences and reconnect to his inner healing and creative wisdom.
