I Never Knew I Had Trauma.
The driving force behind writing my book "It's Not About Food, Drugs, or Alcohol: It's About Healing Complex PTSD" was that I mistakenly believed that I had to have been sexually or physically abused to be considered a trauma survivor.
My main types of trauma were being raised in a crazy, alcoholic home where I witnessed ongoing tension and emotional abuse between my parents, and being bullied as an overweight kid.
Interestingly, of the many therapists and psychiatrists I saw over the decades, not one of them mentioned I could be suffering from complex PTSD.
This is why it took 30 years for me to finally understand why I struggled in the ways that I did, and got the right trauma-based therapies to heal the root cause of my symptoms. (e.g. anxiety, difficulty with close relationships, food, sleep, and my history of severe obesity, and alcohol and drug problems.
Can anyone relate to this?
