Hi there,

I'm not quite sure how to navigate this site so I'll just take a shot & start here.  Please feel free to redirect me ;)

I'm a female in her 60's & am finally realizing what my childhood has done to me.  I knew that it definitely affected me negatively but did not know how drastically.  In every way.

In the last couple of years, I have been experiences moments of dissociation & recently, an entire morning.  That was a first and it was so frightening.  However, it is what has brought me here.

This is the beginning of my healing journey.

Thank you for listening <3

Missy Me,

Welcome.  :heythere:

Dissociation can be disorienting. I can see how "loosing" a morning would be very frightening. Glad you are here to receive support.

Greetings, Missy Me  :wave: .

It seems that diving into the dark heritage of cptsd can occur at any age. Sometimes this follows avoidance and/or other detours, but at some point we find that it seems critical to finally come to grips with what happened; but most important, where one is now while scanning the horizon for hope of finding elusive peace with any or all of what went so horribly wrong.

Welcome.
