Stepping Into The Holidays With CPTSD - Trauma Sensitive.

This audio is intended to be a gentle, trauma-sensitive reminder that it's okay if the holiday season is difficult. The recording is spoken in the first person, it is particularly suitable for folks with a history of past trauma - especially those with Complex PTSD. Also valid for other holidays or special events that may come up. Gentle piano music plays in the background.

I was hit by a wave of grief and loneliness today while being on my own during a holiday, and so many of the meditations on this app felt dismissive or toxically positive. This was exactly what I needed at this moment and I am so grateful 💜 I will be returning to this often as I navigate the season

Finding this helpful during a long period of grief (not necessarily ptsi) during any holiday or social expectation. Thank you

THANK YOU!!!!! this is simply fantastic. it's nice to know there are others who feel like i do.
this season is just a way to spend money we don't have for a man-made "holiday" that is just downright silly when you think about it.
happy science!

I really appreciated the reassurance of this message this morning. As the holiday activity ramps up and the family dysfunction flares up, I needed this reminder that it's ok to make choices that are best for me and that I don't have to meet the "Hallmark Christmas" standard when I just wish there was a fast forward button to February. Thank you for the gentle, calming guidance and reassurance as well as the validation.

I am so grateful for this meditation because it reminded me that I am not alone in my struggles with holidays, special events, etc., and it's completely OK to be alone (or to say no) in order to avoid being triggered if that's what needed to keep myself grounded. Thank you 🙏
