i’ve been trying to write a thread that’s like a before and after picture of my year+ of intense trauma healing and it’s crazy my favourite mental benefits: • my baseline is effortlessly effervescently happy for the first time in my life • i’m now one of those people who can see a task (pile of laundry etc) and walk up to it and do the task without any feeling of doom or resistance. no mental hacks needed. this is wild!!! did not know this was possible • flashbacks are rare instead of many times per day that just bleed into one my favourite physical benefits: • endometriosis pain essentially vanished in one day. not a 100% reduction but from 8/10 pain to a barely discernible soreness • weird blood pressure crashes and fatigue also drastically reduced i basically wake up every day happy and excited at 6 or 7 am then spend all day doing things i want to do. zero interest in doom-scrolling or other dissociation techniques this is the fucking dream!!
