Affirmations For Complex PTSD

Hello, dear ones,

After receiving feedback that my previous affirmations for the cPTSD track were so gratefully received by those in the community, I have created another one for you, a slightly longer one this time around.

As someone with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder I know how tough the healing journey can be, and that is an understatement, tough doesn't begin to describe it. I have designed these affirmations as a reminder to you and to myself of how amazing we are.

Sometimes we just need to know that we are not in this alone. That wherever you are on your journey and however you feel, it is OK.

You are a brave soul for being on this path of healing, so please be kind and loving to yourself. Healing is not linear and we are doing the best we can at all times.

Thank you for this meditation of positive affirmations. I was diagnosed with complex PTSD, severe depression. Severely abused child and 22 years in law-enforcement in the United States, Air Force. I lost my wife of 35 years. Today is Valentine’s Day and I felt so awful. I just slept all day till 3 PM. When I finally did get out of bed. I just felt awful emotionally and lonely. Here meditation I just completed has given me some hope that I will not return to drugs and alcohol tonight to medicate myself. I only have 18 days cleaning and sober. Again thanks your meditation made me feel better. I look forward to more of your work here on Insight Timer.

This was wonderfully calming. I listened to it on my morning commute and I feel more ready to face the day now. Thank you!

This one brought me to tears multiple times in the best way! Such a powerful track, thank you Sally🧡Wishing you peace and joy on your own healing journey!
