trauma

At its core, trauma can be thought of as the psychological wounds that persist, even when the physical ones are long gone.

Surviving?
The things that stick with you after an assault the most would surprise some people, the things that these people say to you. The words that bounce around your skull for years to come, no matter what you do to drown them out. The tone of their voice as they tell you to shut up, that they don‘t care or even that you are a “good girl”. How can such an innocent phrase reduce you to a puddle of angry anxiety after all these years?

Trespasser
My island is more beautiful than any tropical paradise or holiday destination on this earth, and it's a far easier commute. It requires no luggage, no security check, no long-haul flight, and no jet lag. I can go whenever I want, and I do as often as I can. I have more grounding here than where my feet actually touch the ground. Though here, I feel a very real sensation of warm grainy sand between my toes as I bury them into two little hills.

Narcissism And Personality Disorders
Are all personality disorders the outcomes of frustrated narcissism? During our formative years (6 months to 6 years old), we are all “narcissists”. Primary Narcissism is a useful and critically important defense mechanism. As the infant separates from his mother and becomes an individual, it is likely to experience great apprehension, fear, and pain. Narcissism shields the child from these negative emotions. By pretending to be omnipotent, the toddler fends off the profound feelings of isolation, unease, pending doom, and helplessness that are attendant on the individuation-separation phase of personal development.

Learned Helplessness Simplified
Learned helplessness is a psychological phenomenon in which a person experiences a sense of powerlessness and a belief that they are unable to control events affecting their life. This can occur after repeated exposure to aversive events which they perceive as uncontrollable, leading them to feel hopeless and passive in future situations. It results in a reduced effort to escape or avoid negative situations, and decreased motivation and ability to take control of their environment.
