Affirmations For Those With CPTSD - Long Version For Sleep
by Sally Clough
Hello beloveds, 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. This is the longer version of my previous release so that you can use this for sleep or deep relaxation. The affirmations are repeated and it does not matter if you fall asleep, as your subconscious will still hear and integrate them as you sleep. With gentle background music by Leigh Robinson of Natures Eye. You are not alone. You are loved.

Hello dear ones and welcome to today's affirmations for someone with complex post-traumatic stress disorder or CPTSD.
As someone with complex post-traumatic stress disorder myself I've designed this list to help you in the healing process and for during those moments when you need a reminder that we've got this,
That you've got this.
So begin by taking a few deep breaths.
Place one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly if that feels right for you.
You can be seated or laying down.
These affirmations are designed for you to be kind and gentle and loving towards yourself as best as you can be in this moment.
Try listening to this for the next 30 days and let me know how you feel in the comments.
Continue to take a few deep breaths.
You can just listen to my voice or you can repeat these affirmations in your head or out loud.
