Thank you so much, Anna! I've been working on myself and watching your videos for a couple years now. In 2024, a lot of pieces have fallen into place, and I celebrate the fruits of my labor! I moved away from toxic individuals, drastically improved my health, found inner peace and attained stable housing. Woohoo 🎉❤

Thank you 🙏

Is it possible that the pain resurfaces and with more intensity when you think you are healing?

My healing proces was a proces of 15+ years! The initial step just happened. Getting unemployed during the financial crisis in 2010 and having to take call-centerjobs. Had to confront a lot of angry people on the phone. Making me aware I wasn't always the problem. "I wasn't a monster!" Something I imprinted in my mind in childhood because I got bullied, "they must've had a reason to do that right?!" Later in life I almost got burned out during Corona. It was the turning point in my life. I told my employer I wanted to quit. My first decision I made for myself. Employer didn't want to lose me, and send me to a good therapist. This boosted my none-existing self esteem. The therapist hit the spot every session! And I was able to set boundaries in little baby steps. Till I just called out the narc at work; "stop this behavior or I'll quit this project." And he did! Again a big boost for my self esteem. This healing went on for a year,, in tiny steps. Most of it invisible to the outside world, as my behavior didn't change much. Internally I was subconciously rewiring my brain. Old thinking patterns shifted.
Until that day in march 2024 that changed everything. It was like a puzzle put together by a toddler; pieces upside down, in the wrong spot, suddenly thrown into the air and when falling down, forming a flawless puzzle. I suddenly realised all my relationships where broken. The relation with my parents and siblings, with my SO, with my employer, friends and even my sexuality. Moslty codependancy, I stuck to them because I was afraid to make my own choices. And like the flip of a switch I decided to do it differently from now on. Follow my gut. Went low contact with my mother, ended my 20 year relationship with my SO, plan to find another job! My gaming addiction ended the same day. It made me confident overnight. The rumminating finally stopped. I wanted to look at a nice face in the mirror, and started to talk care of myself (without getting arrogant). Lost 15 kg! I can keep eye contact with people with ease. Suddenly I noticed people looking at me on the streets, when I looked at them. This boosted my confidence even more. Sometimes me and a stranger smiled at each other, just while walking past each other. Boosting my confidence even more, in a positive feedback loop. Now, I feel a lot of people looking at me, even if I don't look at them. I almost feel ashamed about it, to even write it down here. But I don't, I feel better than ever.
I am work in progress, and will be forever so. But healing feels really good. Being free feels magical.

I’m 28 and I’m feeling extremely traumatised by something physical that happened when I was 17; especially coz it keeps on replaying in my head from A to Z. As a result of this, I’m feeling very worried about a friend who has just turned 17 coz I don’t want her to face the same thing as me. My big brother got me a stress ball so I can give it a squeeze as part of my coping mechanism and I’ve started a new exercise regime and sharing my feelings with all my friends and family members in order to heal. Thanks for the video xxx 😘

If you want to heal any traumas just remember a mantra ‘chidananda Rup shivoham shivoham’ we all are part of shiva .. we are everything and nothing to in the universe at the same time

Thank you maam.
Glad i watched this video

Oh man I don’t know what I would’ve done even 20 years ago, thank our creator for the internet. Without the channels like you ma’am I really don’t think I would’ve been able to pull through from the trauma my father recycled from his conscience to mine. I thank the lord for having a mother and aunt (abuser’s sibling) that I was able to talk about my feelings with, it was therapy. I’ve always been shy and self conscious, always over accommodating, the term I believe is “echoism”. I’m 19 currently heading into my sophomore year of college and it’s insane to think I never knew I was traumatized until a couple months ago. Everything makes so much sense now, I’m so thrilled to use this wisdom and pair it with my empathy along with my newfound confidence. I feel unstoppable, without sports and the internet though, I really have no fucking idea where I would be right now. I’ve always been terrified of death but I’ve definitely had the thoughts before, I was living a secret life from age 9-19, I went through a midlife crisis during my childhood, not many can say that.

Hi is it just to go out and live life ? Or is to not ?
Does it need to release feelings ?
Or ?

I've been feeling so discouraged with trying to heal from the cPTSD I just got diagnosed with and have had for the better part of 9 years. I've felt so tired, I can't see five feet ahead of me... you give me so much hope! I much prefer reality now and have lost interest in binging video games or tv. I am opening up and being truly honest with the people in my life about how i feel and what im struggling with, and im letting them support me. I'm listening to and want to care for my body. I'm rapidly losing interest in emotionally unavailable partners. I still struggle with black and white thinking and getting frustrated with myself but I am learning. You're right that speaking truth feels so good. I am healing. I can't thank you enough for the work you do!! ❤️

For me the sign of healing is that i can feel all my emotions. I feel extremely blessed

This makes me so proud of myself. God and therapy helped me! I was in a dark place for YEARS with ups and downs. Finally though I have overcome it all and only live in the present. I am free

I’m almost there to the point of breaking free

I am the only person who can make change happen 👊 So want to heal 🙏

You have helped me in so many ways! I wish you were my mom lol

You're fantastic, Anna! I share your videos all the time! Thank you!

Very insightful video that is perfectly delightful!! I CAN resonate to THIS in its entirety 🎉THANK YOU GOD I HAVE been waiting on THIS particular comfort (truth) to come in. My life. My kids are beautiful…

I've lost my taste for conflict in general over the past two yrs. I used to live for it, and now I'm strongly NTFF- No time for foolishness (credit to Jordan Howlett for the acronym.)

I am glad to know that I am on my way to healing! 💪 ❤

Wow I can relate to a few of these signs, I'm glad I'm making progress 1 day at a time! Thank you 😊

My ex left me for someone else 2 weeka after we broke up i also was verbally abused i feel alone but trying to better me

I was bullied badly in school growing up, I'm in my 50s now, but so thankful for you and sharing here. I realized as an adult I tend to look for situations where I can feel bullied because it was expected, but now recognize I should focus on building self healing and starting to see some of these healing signs. Its good progress!

Thank You.🌹🌹🌹
I see where I am now in this Healing process😊
Its been a journey.🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕

Seize the day❤

My heart has been feeling happy I’ve accomplished all 10 still working hard in many areas but I feel whole.

Thank you. This was very reassuring.

Thank you for this will make a list and work on next bits . Very informative ❤

Thank you for your videos, you help me feel I’m not alone. I see a therapist but I don’t think she understands.
Is it normal to question the severity of the abuse? Like wonder “was it as bad as I remembered?

Do we also feel exhausted after we come out of the fog? I’m absolutely wiped out. My head is clear, my heart is now free. I have my boundaries in order, I’ve broken my programming, I’m ready to start caring for my body. All I’m left with is feeling completely wiped out? How long will I feel wiped out for? I used to go from drama to drama and crash in between. That has stopped now. I’m done with it. My nervous system is exhausted.

I've been part of this community for about 5 months now and I'm surprised to see that all the signs of healing apply to me. At first, I had just noticed this wave of positive feelings and small changes but now I must admit that I'm on the right path. Thanks for sharing. Regards

Awesome! Thank you.

Thank You SO MUCH! I needed this. badly. I am so grateful that I had you this morning. I feel like I am in a vicious cycle over and over again. Your video and wisdom have re-inspired me to get the heck up and break this horrible cycle I am in. I decided today. I am ready. Your words had profound influence on me after watching just 4 videos of you preaching the good ways to get back to good habits and feeling so much better. I always thought I had CPTSD. Now, I want to manage my life better and learn about myself to be better for myself. Thank You! In the near future I will be taking your course!

Thank you. You're lovely.

You are very relatable. Someone who understands. Thanks for being real!

I‘be been on my recovery journey for a little over a year now and I’ve been out of a job so I’ve done non-stop work on this. Incidentally, yours and Patrick Teahan’s channels were the first ones I came across to even show me what was wrong with me-that I had CPTSD. I didn’t know it existed after years of therapy, psychiatrists, medications, and misdiagnosis that never worked. I actually went to my doctor and therapist with the information from your channels and they agreed to conform to my new found knowledge on the subject. My therapist is great and is now my trauma therapist. My dr added PTSD to my diagnosis since CPTSD isn’t in the DSM-5 yet but it was a great start. You guys were the catalyst for my researching and finding all the other best resources besides you two to help recover from this trauma. I’ve done a lot of hard work. I have found a solid foundation of spirituality that also helps tremendously. I think that I am progressing well. I have changed many of the behaviors you mentioned, Anna, in this video. However, I do believe that the “cut offs” of my entire family were necessary for the rest of my life for me to continue to heal without a doubt. Also, from some fake friends. And I also believe that I have to be extremely careful who I choose to be social with. I don’t feel it can be all types of people like you mentioned here. I feel that after what I’ve experienced, I will only be safe with healthy people who are also on a recovery journey or those who have healed. I don’t think other types of people will ever understand me. They may be ok to be superficial acquaintances with but not to try and forge real friendships with. That’s just my take. I know I’m 100% right on the NO CONTACT thing. Maybe I just need to heal some more on the types of people to be friends with thing. Idk. Thanks for all you do and share. You’re great! ❤😊

Thanks Anna, you have no idea how much you've helped me so far.

Lady, I ❤ you for every single thing you said in this video. 🥂 Here's to a New Year with more "this is the right way forward" content. You struck such a chord. Edit: saved, watching over n over, subscribed.

Thank you so much for all your videos ❤❤ I have been on my healing journey for about one year now, I started watching your videos to understand my self, my patterns and my behaviour. I'm very grateful for everything that you have done, I still watch your videos to remind myself 🎉❤

Thank you so much !!!! i needed a video to explain this. im definaltly healing. thank you !! <3

Wait... these things are actually possible? 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😯 I love that!

Thank you, so much. This is very helpful. I'm healing. I'm scared because I trust someone for the first time in... probably 12 years or more. My emotions are less stable and it has pointed out some areas in which I need to heal. I have begun working on my anger, again. I need to avoid self destruction.
