quick reminder that he/him bi women and she/her bi men are always welcome and appreciated here and anyone who isn’t dedicated to protecting the gnc members of our community can see themselves out.
public transportation is great and a part of me does enjoy the adventure but i’ve also been harrassed and assaulted many times while using it so there are often times i just can’t bring myself to go… when people try to get me to rationalize and think “what’s the worst that could happen!” and insist that passengers and others will defend me all can think of are the traumas and everyone who has sat and watched and how easily it could have been so, so much worse. idk what my point in writing this is other than just to say that trauma survivors know how unsafe and frightening the world can be and trying to get us to rationalize away our fear is not only unhelpful but also damaging. if we tell you we can’t do something, believe us. if we tell you we feel scared and unsafe respect us and ask how you can help make us safe and comfortable.
(excerpt:)
“Many effective strategies that treat anxiety and depression don’t work for trauma survivors. Meditation and mindfulness techniques that make one more aware of their environment sometimes can produce an opposite effect on a trauma survivor. Trauma survivors often don’t need more awareness. They need to feel safe and secure in spite of what their awareness is telling them.”
“For those who have experienced trauma, anxiety comes from an automatic physiological response to what has actually, already happened. The brain and body have already lived through “worst case scenario” situations, know what it feels like and are hell-bent on never going back there again. The fight/flight/ freeze response goes into overdrive. It’s like living with a fire alarm that goes off at random intervals 24 hours a day. It is extremely difficult for the rational brain to be convinced “that won’t happen,” because it already knows that it has happened, and it was horrific.”
