Thanks ladies 💜 It feels good to know I’m not alone. I notice that trauma can heighten intuition about other people for sure, but I feel like in other instances I am disconnected from my authentic self, especially when I need to follow my gut feeling and say “no” to someone or assert my needs. That’s changing for me, slowly but surely. I’m going to listen to be inner voice from now on, instead of all the noise.

Hi, I can completely relate to both of you. I don’t know if my abilities are gifts or due to having lived with a burnt out nervous system that over reads and analyses everything. Maybe it’s a bit of both. Maybe my C-PTSD is due to an inherent sensitivity I have which also allows me to tap into deeper spiritual elements, I don’t know. I’m just tired of questioning myself and really want to live in the fullness of who I am, and my sensitivities. Not sure if that makes sense but it’s nice to know there’s othered out there too 🙏💗

This is a perfectly normal response to the amount of times you had to protect yourself- your body and brain learnt to read and assess threat levels- it is called hyper-vigilence, but i like to also add it to my list of superpowers such as pattern recognition ect.. i have c-ptsd to, and get how exhausting it can be, but we can heal- and celebrate our superpowers/curse xx
