    I am 37. This story almost mirrors mine and it is not easy but you can change. I also was a sex worker on and off because I was made to think it's all I was good for. Anna knows the truth, it is not empowering, it is eroding to the soul. I finally got so sick of myself I vowed to change and it started with making a lot less money and working more, living with roommates again, and being very lonely for a few months because you have to abandon everyone you hung out with in your unhealthy life. I know this sounds bad but when I look back on my life it was some of my fondest memories because I was showing up for myself, trying to become the person I knew I could be before my abusive parents got into my brain. It took a couple of years of solid emotional work, joining a gym or a church was helpful because I was around better people. Before long, I met the man I am with now who treats me with love and respect every day. He knows about my past but he didn't care because by the time he met me, I was almost a completely different, healthier person. To the woman who wrote this letter, please do not let fear stop you, you obviously want to change. It will go by faster than you realize if you truly make the commitment and once you get to the other side of this, life is so much sweeter and it will have been so VERY worth it. ❤

    I understand how being told repeatedly that you're ugly as a kid can affect you years later. I got it all growing up from other kids and adults around me that I was ugly. If someone even slightly hinted that I might have any good physical features, my mom would quickly let me know that they were just trying to be nice. Even to this day, I have a hard time seeing myself as normal looking even though on a conscious level I know I am. I was chronically malnourished as a kid, so that didn't help with image issues, and people insisting that I must be ana when I was a teen despite my not having control over the situation.

I phoned up my work and told them I was not coming in (I would be more ethical now and give notice). I am in Europe so the benefits system helped me to survive. But I did and trained as became a professional artist. My choice was to live simply, and that can be done on very little, certainly in France. I am now retired but my determination not to compromise and be miserable in what to me was life-destroying work, was the best decision I ever made. I type letters for myself but for no-one else. Curious that the computer age has made even doctors type their own work!

It's about a woman who was sexually abused by her narcissistic mother and goes on to be a peep show girl in London. It's also about the broken souls around her and their non caring and neglectful/abusive parents. Their self defeating behaviours. It's a very good watch based on a true story written by a woman called Cash Carraway. I myself have complex ptsd and so I identify with this story.

I never received that kind of love as a child.

I see myself in so many of the situations in these letters. I'm leaning on God and people like you Anna. It's so hard to find a suitable therapist even when you have the access to therapy. I'm about to end it with my current therapist because she keeps cancelling, shortening sessions because of something she has going on, just not very professional. I will continue watching your videos and hopefully I can find a therapists that actually knows what they are doing and cares.

That's how it felt as i reconnected with these lost parts. Lost and self abandoned to enable myself to use sex for bonding in my case to get security in exchange what never happened. I got my lesson. And thanks to your compassionate healing work teaching and your daily practice i now am on my way to get to know lost parts and to take care of them in a mother like growing mindset way instead of buying in the lies i have been told growing up. It's so sad that we adapt in believing them. It's so hard to recognize when never someone gave an alternative...😢 I can't thank you enough. I do. For me and for my beloved son, also from a miserable relaitionship. Living alongside, sharing the same pain from our childhood, having intimate contacts to get keep it going and when hormones pushed me over my boundary's, with then drifting apart but living in a shared tiny flat. Bonded by trauma and poverty ... I allowed so much painful wrong stuff to happen. I have to shovel all the old dirt away for a while until it's good but thanks to your support i have orientation even if the dirt is so thick i can't see light. You are such a blessing. I am having tears of thankfulness for you and for compassion with the writer of the letter. ♥️

    I have a similar thing in believing people when they tell me I’m good at something. I think it’s partly because there are some that would manipulate with false praise, and partly my perfectionism. In my case that perfectionism is related to CPTSD and easing up on it has helped me to trust people a bit more and care about superficial validation a lot less. It can also occur with those who are exceptionally bright or aware, in that they tend to place higher standards upon themselves. I have a (grown) kid like that. They gave her the “talented and gifted” label in first grade, which was both a blessing and a curse.

    Condescension is a tactic of narcissism, it comes under the umbrella of Infantilization, treating you like a child regardless of your age, abilities and life experience, even into adulthood. They also do this to retain the parent / child power dynamic. They never want to be equals with you, they will never allow it to naturally happen, they will never acknowledge and validate you as a mature adult. They try to make you dependent and feel incapable and then criticize and shame you for struggling. They are mentally ill, starting to heal is when you stop pedestaling them, bring them down to size in your mind, and come to terms with this fact. Go no contact, get over the fact of family being sacred and blood thicker than water and all that garbage, it may be true for most people, but not if your parents are narcissists.

    Sometimes it feels like people «have fun» that ends in birth of a child and later is pissed about this fact. Partially, I think it's due to hookup culture, where people have sex without understanding any consequence, almost in an impulsive manner. And those children that born afterwards would suffer due to the parent(s). And this parent would blame child for his own mistake, not him/herself. For instance, I think my father got my mom impregnated, didn't want to commit, later, 7 years later they divorced. And he acted toward me in a narcissistic manner, humiliating me. I even suspect that he married my mom only due to the voices of his surroundings, i.e. his mother and his relatives. I even think that if he didn't speak with them or they had influence over him - he wouldn't have probably married my mom. And it looks like an idea that narcissist doesn't want to see how his reputation disparages.

    You can do anything you want to do. Some people use the DP only occasionally, to get rid of bad feelings. But if you really want to change your life, I suggest you use it as taught, twice a day with meditation and a buddy to read to at least once a week.

    @@goldalevin869 Good questions! First, You can save it for the day if you will be reading to someone or think you might. Once you go to bed, it's to be torn up though. Don't return to old writings after the day has passed. If the same stuff comes up again, you can read it then. But otherwise, forgetting the problem is the goal! And no, not a pet. It needs to be someone who themselves uses these techniques.

    5:11 5:06 - OK I have to say that this guy was sitting by your side because you were all that he had. He explained you he he exploited you he used. She was a cover-up of his original, or the son and girlfriend you know about if he actually cared about you and his daughters, he would not have done any of what he did let’s be real so this guy he didn’t, love you for you. The reason he didn’t give mind your past because he has a bad past, and he knows that there has to be someone who’s either a as much of a jerk at him or be someone who is very traumatized and good intention with a warm heart that just wants to be loved and to love and stop having to repeat the same traumatic events over and over again and this man does not love you I don’t think he ever did love you and again he’ll sit by you. He was there for himself because he knew people who are more in healing or perhaps had a family member or like a sibling that would help them whatever you know, there’s a lot of people who are not put up with his BS so you were his ticket to hopefully wherever he wanted to go. It didn’t end up working out too well. And I don’t think your daughters deserve someone like that as a father it takes a lot of work a lot of work to change that much if he’s lied to his sons mother that you found out about he’s lying to you too and your daughters are going to end up hurt most likely and finding out about all the lies after they learned that their dad is a fraud to me. That’s the truth I don’t know. I’m sorry if this comment on the crappy childhood hey honey,, I mean people let me know if Barry the Barry, Barry, the fairy

    Thank you for providing her help for free! She has no money and it would be a tragedy, allowed herself to be exploited even further to be able to afford help. I wish her all the love and the strength of the world! She has to just start believing in her worth. ❤ And maybe have the support of other women and real friendships, then her life would transform. Men have nothing to offer to us that could save us! Quite the opposite, they exploit the misery of women for their own benefit and to feel powerful. It's the men who were preying on her vulnerabilities that are weak, not her! She has never harmed anyone, that's strength. She's stronger than all those men together.

    Can autism in combination with your enviroment also be the cause of trauma/CPTSD? Certain traits are the same between CPTSD and autism behaviour. My family could make me feel unsafe especially the house where i was born. But living with autism without knowing and forcing yourself to school, even more so almost. Everything that overloads the brain, becomes a threat. And there is nothing you can do to fight it (Wich is also how trauma works), except flee. And guess what now i have a avoidant personality disorder. So what does that say about the combination of my autism and CPTSD combined. A undiagnosed borderline mother. A emotionally not fully there dad. And autism.

    I feel so sorry for this person… idk if this sounds bad to her but it makes me grateful for where I’m at/what I’m going through… it’s nothing compared to all of that. I see how you could get stuck in that situation of just having a sugar daddy and a part time job, but honestly, she just really needs to find more hobbies or get to know herself deeper so she knows what she likes to do outside of sex work 😔 easier said than done when you’re working through trauma.

    This does not necessarily have to take the form of directly telling you that you are useless and worthless. It can take the form of always trying to get you fixed because you are not smart enough, not tall enough, don't eat enough etc. etc. something is always not right and needs to be fixed. Like pretending to care, because they are working on you, but only to degrade your feelings of self worth. This is where a lot of this child gender mutulation is coming from.

    I’ve recently found your channel and I like many things you do here. I also value your empathy and pragmatism. However I completely disagree with your assessment of sex work, I have a close friend that is a sex worker and she was patient and thoroughly educated me about the misunderstandings about sex work. Unfortunately your commentary on this topic in this video further stigmatises sex workers and that is one of the biggest problems in sex work, the stigma. You are emotionally intelligent and just straight up intelligent too, so I hope you don’t fully close your mind about your beliefs about sex work
