Btw, top recommendation is [Here All Dwell Free](https://www.amazon.com/Here-All-Dwell-Free-Feminine/dp/0385421001/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=here+all+dwell+free\u0026amp;qid=1620323863\u0026amp;sr=8-1) by Gertrude Mueller Nelson. Unbelievably insightful.  \r\n\r\n\r\nIn a book about psychedelics I read last year, the author pointed out (loosely quoted), \"Your body knows how to heal. If you cut your finger, you don't have figure out how to heal it. It'll heal itself. Although sometimes, if the cut is bad enough, you may need to help it some. But it's silly to think it doesn't know how.\"  \r\n\r\n\r\nShortly after reading that, I came to the conclusion we were talking about above, among other things.  The mind is obviously a part of the body. And yes, so many of my/our actions are trauma responses. But even those, if you take a minute to look closely at them, are the body trying to heal; trying to tell you the help it needs from you TO heal. And ever since I started taking those House/VforVendetta/etc. hints seriously, god damn did life start to improve. Even before I had a diagnosis. I'd say it give me the wiggle room to actually start the real healing.  \r\n\r\n\r\nSo glad I could help!","subreddit_name":"CPTSDmemes","author":"shadowgathering"}]}
