Went to PTSD chat today at Psych Central (Thanks Crew and Sandworm and everyone else that was there ). Talked about how to get over triggers, the past experience, abuse, and growing up with dysfunction...
I know I learned (the coping mechanism) that “best” way to resolve a situation is to apologize. Something that is wrong in some way = it is my fault, because I am bad = I am sorry (better apologize).
But I OVERDO THIS TO THE EXTREME (really apologize too much for one thing, or a just apologize for everything, mostly stuff I should not). Shame and Guilt are practically my middle names because i always think I’ve done something wrong or am wrong in some way. So i have to apologize.
But when is it actually necessary....? When do you feel it is actually necessary? Help me with your ideas....
Thanks.
