I’m in search of some good resource to understand traumatic avoidance.

I’ve looked on line and haven’t really found one that is up to date or is not connected to PTSD. Complex PTSD is more of what I feel like I am working through and that might be a different thing.

I would welcome, very much, if anyone has worked through this themselves and would like to share your experience.

I mean really, it only makes sense to me that someone would want to avoid memories, images or feelings associated with trauma. I get it though that healing can’t happen as long as the avoidance is happening.

I’m not purposely doing it. There is a part of me that is preventing it. It’s preventing me from seeing what I need to see and feel.

I would value anything you would like to share, resource wise or experience with it.

Thank you!
