    I would warn anyone with trauma or Cptsd to seriously not do istdp. It made me far worse and retraumatized me. It’s not a good theory for people with trauma because first of all, fast therapy is the opposite of what someone with trauma needs, a healthy secure connection over time, and also it tries to push you into anger and trigger this which can cause huge massive nervous system dysregulation if it doesn’t feel safe to do so. Be warned

    I'd suggest finding a Narm therapist as they honour the fact that disassociation serves a purpose and can help you become more resourced and never push you into feelings that would retrigger you

    You have to do it constantly. When symptoms arrive you don't react to them with as much fear and always think emotionally not physically. Usually the triggers are quite obvious when you figure it out. For me the core fear is from abandonment trauma.

    ​@@Josh-if7toi have had great benefit from NET kinesiology to clear trauma. It's blown my mind. No hard work from me, just knowing what I needed to reset and choosing the statement. "I am okay with..". Some people think its wooey but I think everyone should try it.

    This is great!! I have heard a lot about John Sarno. I think it’s time to get the book. Doug I am ready! I would love to connect. I’m much better. Actually thought I was 90% better but after watching this and realizing how my other symptoms/pains are so connected I think I’m more like 70% there. Im really ready to dive in and go the rest of the way!!

    So "if you *believe* enough, it will work - and if it doesn't work, then you didn't *believe* enough"?! Telling a victim of this horrible disease that "you don't believe enough" is nothing but victim blaming - the last thing a genuinely ill person needs. It's just another way of saying "it's all in your mind." Or "it's all your fault". 😨 For those of us suffering with *real, severe ME/Cfs* this 'treatment' of gradually *pushing oneself* more and more, is not helpful, but is instead actually *harmful* . In real ME/Cfs, over-exertion always leads to crashes, with symptoms flare ups, and even long term setbacks. And telling a person ill with *real ME/Cfs* that it's all about their pent up emotions - that's very insulting.
