(sorry for posting so many posts. My mind is working so much the past week and I need to share...)

I keep repeating this to me many times.
I have realized that I feel so not in control and so unautonomous.
Not in like taking care of myself.
But very much in general. It feels like anything I do doesn´t make a real difference, I cannot really control anything.
I can of course, but it doesn´t feel like it to me.

I discovered though that imagining yourself being able to do something, in your traumatic past, anything to make it a little better, makes it easier to feel in control in the NOW.
Like, yes, I CAN do something, I can make a difference in my life, I can make it better.
I have heard that the basic of trauma is feeling helpless and like you cannot do anything, not to run or do something about it.
Is that right?

How much in control do you feel of your own life?
