May 2020.First Episode Ever

But Traumatized Motherfuckers don’t let fear determine their lives anymore. And I am the OG TMF. This is my Complex Trauma project, and I hope it can help - first, I just have to take the motherfucking steps.

Who's great at thinking about doing something, getting stressed out, and then guilting themselves for failing to start? For 10 years, it was this guy right here! And a lot of other Motherfuckers. That internal resistance. The thought that “nothing matters” or “you can’t do it right, anyways.” The voice that tells you it’s impossible. Or, the sense that you need to feel inspired to get started, and maybe that will all shift on its own tomorrow. It's convincing. But once you get over the initial climb to take the first step, have faith that everything will start to fall into place. You just need to quiet your inner critic and get going. And you might need to trick your brain into it. These are my two favorite bitesized hacks for keeping myself moving.

What happens when you've lost it all? You've got nothing left to lose, motherfucker. After your worst possible worries come true, it gives you a new perspective on what's coming next. Or, at least it did in this MF's case.

This is a journal-turned-blog post-turned-podcast that you might not be ready for. Talking about universal human fears in no-nonsense terms. The worst case scenarios. The most terrifying ideas that creep up on us at night.... And how they're all completely true. 😬

People don't care about you. You will lose everyone and everything you love. You will die one day. You are wasting your life.

Most of us pretend these are distant fallacies, reserved for "other people" and their karmically-unfortunate loved ones... but, MF, the sooner you can accept inevitable fate, the sooner you can decide how you actually want to live your life. Stop running from the undoubtable, lean into the comfort of uncomfortable certainty, get clear, and finally take action.

Not personally pissed off by this tough-love talk about inevitable loss? Huh. You might be a Motherfucker. Come hang out at www.t-mfrs.com. Become a part of the Discord community, share your story, and subscribe to more blog posts than anyone can handle - including member posts from kinder folks this nothing-left-to-lose TMFR.

For the past 2 years, I've had major epiphany moments about my trauma journey and recovery .I've made enormous progress in changing my mindset and behaviors to change my life - working towards building one I actually want, instead of one shaped by trauma.

And then... I found an old journal that effectively demonstrates that I've known this information all along. Since, you know, a decade ago. I've had all the answers, I've known the right steps to take, and I've relived the same trauma patterns over and over again. What the fuck, self? What have you been doing? Loving this life of misery so much you couldn't give it up?

Today, I'm talking endless trauma loops. Where do they come from? What's up with this trauma programming, inner critic, and fucked up core belief system? How does history repeat itself without being noticed? And how can we break these patterns before another decade flies by?

Plus... how to forgive ourselves for mistakes on repeat. Thanks, Universe.

Learn to say goodbye to people you love. "Yeah fucking right?" Fair. But there are times when I can believe it.

Relationships have always been the most important part of my life; for worse or for... still worse. You know, I've lost a lot of folks in the past year. Don't worry, they're still above ground - but we don't take walks together anymore.

At any other time, these relationship losses would be the final straw for this hunchback. But(t) luckily, I've learned how to enjoy saying goodbye to people. Even ones that I love deeply. Even ones that fucked me right over.

You feel? Come say hey or join the Traumatized Motherfucker community at traumatizedmotherfuckers.com (www.t-mfrs.com).

Anyone else have big emotions that shift faster than the wind? One moment I'm floating, the next I'm fucking sinking. External circumstances don't even have to wreck this ship; I have an explosive boiler room powering this ocean liner. With spiraling thoughts, fear-based perception, and a general ignorance of what "doing well" even means... it's hard to keep positive emotions stable or properly name your mental state. Everything is relative, and compared to others, I'm relatively-great at being miserable.

"Or am I just sensitive?" It's hard to know, when our culture has reduced "PTSD" to mean "Soldiers' disease." Oh, and your history-denying family? Yeah, they're not helping either. What is "Trauma," and how do you cope with the diagnosis?

If you google Complex Trauma you'll find many mentions of Shame. I get it, I think, but also... What the fuck IS shame, exactly? How is it different from guilt? How does it interplay with Trauma?

Doing some "real research" and reporting back on the hidden experience of Shame. One of the most painful and pervasive emotions.

Wanna give me a new topic to look at? Report it at t-mfrs.com and I'll see what I can find on PubMed.
