When was the last time you listened to yourself breathing? It is a difficult task for me, someone who suffers from C-PTSD. When people in your life who are supposed to care for you abuse you, treat you as if you are not worthy of care, it is challenging to correct this perception, even within yourself. But I am finding as trauma, a recurring tidal wave, threatens to drown me, that self-care is the beginning of healing. It is the foundation for recovery.
