Title: Here as a Recommendation by Pete Walker - Hi all!
Post by: IFS2020 on April 22, 2020, 09:45:31 PM
Hi friends,

Unfortunately Mr. Walker is booked but he did share this forum as a resource.  I wanted to introduce myself - I have CPTSD from childhood that was deeply compounded by a stalking incident 2 years ago.  Since then I have had anxiety symptoms that have greatly diminished my quality of life. 

Currently looking to get some insight and support here about the issues I am struggling to conquer.

I hope everyone is finding small parts of their day to have self-care during this troubling pandemic.

Be Well!

Hello and a warm welcome to OOTS IFS 2020  :heythere:  I can well imagine how being stalked would have caused your CPTSD to be exacerbated. It's a whole new layer of trauma on top of old layers of being trapped by someone abusing/threatening you.  I hope the police were willing/able to help in the end.

Pleased to meet you IFS2020.  :wave:

I was stalked in adulthood on top of childhood trauma as well. I know what it's like, and the anxiety that can bring.

You're in a place where people get it, and I hope this helps bring you healing.
