Innocence Wrapped in Cellophane
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 My wounded inner child is never as safe as we are programmed to believe through our delusions of safety. Self medicating exposes him in ways that we can never see or stop. One critical step on the journey is to regulate your medication. #cptsd #therapyart #partstherapy #complextrauma #healing

Living with Complex PTSD
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Another step along the way living with Complex PTSD. Always in danger, always on alert. the distortion and the horror is always there. #therapyart #complextrauma #healing #cptsd #hypervigilance

An End to The Reign
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 The rage and the longing for justice are one in the same and never go away. He deserves to pay for what he did to me and I have imagined delivering swift justice to him every day of my adult life. Learning to not let this poisonous rage completely ruin me has taken most of my energy for as far back as I can remember. I am finally able to accept this is a secondary emotion that hides my shame. #cptsd #healing #sasurvivor🖤 #faceyourdemons #hidingmyshame

TikTokNote to Self
It is not as easy as other posts but notes to myself sure do help serve my healing more than the rest. I need to have compassion and accountability for myself to create the capacity to give that love to others. These are the behaviors I change to grow from chasing bliss to finding peace. #deepthoughts #healingjourney #accountability #complextrauma #fyp
TikTokLearning Disorder
I can own the reaction and I know now how to make sure it never happens again. Draw a boundary around what you reacted too whether the other person respects it or not. Its worth it either way. #boundaries #relationships #fyp #accountability #healing

TikTokSleeping Dogs Lie
Sleeping Dogs Lie Music ripples through my soul Giving my emotions a reason to scream Weight of my world takes its toll A Soundtrack to my lonely dream Right where I wanted to be Time continues to pass me by Carry the ones that still believe Curl up where the sleeping dogs lie The illusion of you Got me this far The reality of you Lives in my scar As the ink is pressed against my skin Confusion and clarity continue chaos Rhyme and reason fail me again Everything that Matters pays the cost Everyday I fight, some days I even win Most of the time, that win is the lie Truth is laughing while I take it on the chin Hoping that one day, my sleeping dogs die Sleeping Dogs will Lie Sleeping Dogs Won’t Die Sleeping Dogs will Lie Sleeping Dogs Won’t Die The illusion of you Got me this far The reality of you Lives in my scar #sleepingdogs #deepthoughts #healingjourney #fyp #cptsd

Somatic Thinking
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 An important lesson learned is becoming aware of my body and cptsd to the effect that I can accept my panic attacks. I always tried to make them nonexistent and will them out of my universe. But I am human just like everyone else.

Awareness and Connection
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Awareness and Connection: A very difficult part of the journey has been remembering how I felt as a kid. One of the best parts about IFS therapy is how it helps you emotionally remember. That develops your emotional flashback awareness, so a critical step indeed. #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #complextrauma #partstherapy #hypervigilance

Lagidorp
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Lagidorp: Everyone has their origin story, mine is the uno reverse of the Prodigal Son. My own path led me to love but only because it always remained my north star. Through all the pain or "till they melt from my back," I fall into love or "into the Son." #therapyart #healing #cptsd #religioustrauma #loveisgod

Baseline
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Baseline: This charred landscape represents the complex ptsd steady state. The fire rages on so we must contain and extinguish often. #cptsd #therapyart #complextrauma #hypervigilance #faceyourdemons

Freefalling
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Freefalling: The break that follows the trigger is often physically unbearable. it is a constant pain in the center of my chest that takes my breath away. If I dont move I suffocate. #faceyourdemons #complextrauma #therapyart #cptsd #complextrauma

Breakthrough
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Breakthrough: Even in paradise the break will happen, just make sure to let your triggers tag along. A lot of highs and lows but for me it was transformation.#complextrauma #cptsd #therapyart #faceyourdemons #isolation

Bleeding Tears
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Bleeding Tears: The tears in my eyes Believing the lies Thay my inner critic told me. And in my goodbyes My inner child cries Tears he reluctantly sold me. #therapyart #cptsdpoetry #complextrauma #healing #cptsd

Isolation
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Isolation: The worst and best way to deal with your triggers. Alone, always alone. #cptsd #therapyart #faceyourdemons #isolation #complextrauma

Change
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Change: The grooming takes its toll and the evil is always a part of you. I grieve that innocent little boy as he is not me anymore. #therapyart #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #faceyourdemons #conditionedbyabuse

Making Space
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Making Space: The loneliness of isolating to safely de-escalate and ground your body to its steady state is painful. Deep down we all need to be loved, especially at our worst. The abandonment is too much to bear through it all so we medicate to numb the pain. It is impossible to see but we are never really alone. #faceyourdemons #cptsd #healing #therapyart #abandonmentissues

A Real Boy
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 A Real Boy: Pinocchio just wanted to be a real boy. The horrors of pleasure island are real for some of us real boys. We are all just donkeys nonetheless, corrupted and spoiled by our monsters that are just a real as we are.#therapyart #sasurvivor🖤 #conditionedbyabuse #letshamego #cptsd

They Why in Courage
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 They Why in Courage: Even though it is with white knuckles and hanging by a thread I am taking comfort that after 40 plus years as I finally start to heal, the effects will span generations.#therapyart #cptsd #healing #generationaltrauma #silverlining

Clarity
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Clarity: Learning about my cptsd diagnosis was comforting, just like so many others, because it helped me understand why I am this way. Always on alert, the world is just way different through my eyes because of what I have been through. Not because there is something wrong with me. #healing #cptsd #triggeredstate #Iseeininfared #safetyisadelusion

Strength to Carry On
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Strength to Carry On: I have taken so many walks when in a triggered state and although it is helpful it is painful. The distortion, the resonance, the haunting is so difficult to push through. It always helps and reduces in the end so I continue to walk as an important part of my healing journey. #Iseeininfared #triggeredstate #cptsd #healing #therapyart

A Real Man
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 A Real Man: The struggle is real and I lose myself everytime. To be a good man is to provide and be a resource, to keep people safe and hold them up. I love and live with reckless abandon for the person I am. #cptsd #healing #therapyart #safetyisadelusion #conditionedbyabuse

I Grieve
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 I Grieve: The grief is so crippling at times as it adds to the pain of the abandonment and there is no stopping the tears. I have spent so much time just sitting in my grief and abandonment. Innocence was not a privilege I was blessed to receive. #cptsd #grievingmyinnocence #sasurvivor🖤 #conditionedbyabuse #therapyart

A Fighting Chance
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 A Fighting Chance: Live, fight and love with the end in mind. Healing is no different so I struggle through my journey with both eyes on the prize. I will put in the work, that has always been the easy part for me. The goal gives me a purpose and a superpower to make sure I get there #healing #cptsd #therapyart #neverlostfaith #lovewillfindaway

CN3D
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 CN3D: Colors Collide is something you will either get or you wont, either way is ok. For those of us that get it, we know its a curse that we have to heal from in order to turn it into a gift. Whether life is two dimensional (black and white) or inclusive of three or more points of view, I will always be amazed at how the colors collide. #therapyart #cptsd #Iseeininfared #colorscollide #healing

Better Off
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Better Off: This was a tough day, but I have healed enough to know how to handle their abandonment. My frequency has changed, all three of my eyes are open and I will never be the same. The people pleaser is dead. I buried him next to my innocence. #healing #cptsd #therapyart #letshamego #conditionedbyabuse

Through the Looking Glass
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Through the Looking Glass: My therapist is an angel. God knew I couldn't survive another failed attempt to heal. She held the truth through experiences that help me feel normal. The process is painful but it is working. I am more of myself everyday as she helps me turn to God to turn my shame into peace.#therapyart #cptsd #complextrauma #traumainformedcare #trusttheprocess

Universal Balance
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Universal Balance: The war inside my head, the war with love and the war with life are all rooted in the same tree. They are all a part of the same journey so the battle ends the same. Emotions are never forgotten, they are only resolved or not. #healing #cptsd #therapyart #conditionedbyabuse #colorscollide

Darkness
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Darkness: Sit in the darkness long enough and it becomes home. When that happens you see a whole lot better. #therapyart #cptsd #healing

Goonies Never Say Die
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Goonies Never Say Die: The emotional flashbacks of sadness and abandonment, shame and unwortyness are more than I can handle sometimes. The ideation saves me though, helps me release and breath and God can help me hang on until the feelings fade away. #therapyart #cptsd #emotionalflashbacks #healing #letitout

Surreal
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Surreal: No one will make it alone, all we have to do is care enough to see their pain. There is more said in silent comfort than in any solution. #complextrauma #cptsd #therapyart #wholeness #wellness

Always Wrong
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Always Wrong: The delusion created by trauma response is almost impossible to accept. But I really have no choice in the matter, once my trauma response attaches to the present it is impossible to focus. #cptsd #complextrauma #therapyart

Hope
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Hope: Ages 12 to 21 were hell for me, mostly self-induced suffering to avoid getting hurt. There was a part of me that I couldn't control and it scared and strengthened the hell out of me. The darkness had a name, and it was tomorrow. #cptsd #therapyart #conditionedbyabuse #safetyisadelusion #complextrauma

Rabbit Hole
TikTok post — 2025-11-06 Rabbit Hole: Looking backward to go forward is a difficult and fuzzy reality to accept. I spent so much time and energy trying to leave it all buried that is nearly killed me. Now unburying it all is hurting me just the same.#complextrauma #therapyart #cptsd #healing #trusttheprocess

He Did it On Purpose
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 He Did it On Purpose: Everything happens for a reason on my worst days is a cinderblock around my neck. Sometimes to heal we need to lash out, welcome to my scream therapy art. #healing #cptsd #therapyart #complextrauma

Overcome
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Overcome: Difficult words to hear in the middle of an emotional flashback but this one works for me everytime. I do not want to waste any more of my life in this haunted maze of trauma induced emotional flashbacks. #complextrauma #therapyart #cptsd #healing #awareness

My Curse
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 My Curse: No different than others like me, my curse leaves my mind always running like it is be8ng chased. Alone I face the darkness, the corrupting neon lights, asbthe storms rage on inside. #therapyart #conditionedbyabuse #cptsd #safetyisadelusion #loneliness

Love and Marriage
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Love and Marriage: Relationships are nearly impossible at this point, I buried it all for way too long. There is no hope at times, it turns into the nothing and the point just ceases to exist. I want to love her and be loved by her more than anything but all I ever do is fail. #therapyart #complextrauma #lovewillfindaway #cptsd #failingtofunction

Self Medicating
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Self Medicating: A toxic avenger captured inside a Prism inside a prison. Suffering from compression that leads to depression and eventually to regression. What saved me became my prison. #myownworstenemy #cptsd #therapyart #safetyisadelusion #selfmedicatedprison

Philosophical
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Philosophical: Some really connecting imagery for my complex reality of trauma, shame, hopelessness, sadness, abandonment and abuse. Am I crazy? Or am I high? Are my cortisol levels to blame? Either way you and me we are not the same, nothing about this game makes sense. #jacobsladder #distorteddimension #therapyart #complextrauma #cptsd

The Chameleon Boy
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 The Chameleon Boy: Sharing my Chameleon soul is a nightmare come true. The fear of failure and disappointment in hurting the ones I love most is killing me. I have to tear it all down and burn it all, then rise from the ashes. Collateral damage is all I can expect. #complextrauma #cptsd #therapyart #healing #failingtofunction

Abandonment
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Abandonment: Not an easy pain to explain but this is not something that can ever be replaced. I am the only one that can heal the abandonment wounds because I am the only one that was there that remains. #healing #cptsd #abandonment #sasurvivor🖤 #complextrauma

Hope in the Rebellion
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Hope in the Rebellion: You have got to go to hell to get to heaven. Grace and Mercy are there if we can let go of the pain and let love in. Fire and Brimstone transformed into love and light. #therapyart #cptsd #lovewillfindaway #trusttheprocess #complextrauma

The Infinite Staircase
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 The Infinite Staircase: Groomed by a predator, conditioned to submit. At the age of six there is no concept of consent. Just manipulation for their copulation. The only thing I can do is give this violation to God or it will kill me and everything in my way.#complextrauma #lovewillfindaway #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #therapyart

Blame cemented the Shame
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Blame cemented the Shame: The worst part of my story to tell is that day she caught him. She immediately blamed and shamed me with names I to this day, can't even write. The physical abuse as she dragged me across the street to my house didn't hurt as much as being sent to my room. I prayed I would be tried, convicted, and executed instead. #therapyart #sasurvivor🖤 #cptsd #abandonment #healing

Invisible
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Invisible: When you were raised unseen, whether it was because if deeply disturbing trauma or good old-fashioned common household neglect, life is a haunted dream. You see with your heart and the more it bleeds, the clearer you see. Safety first so I live this life with invisibility. #therapyart #cptsd #distorteddimension #abandonment #safetyisadelusion

The Road To Nowhere
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 The Road To Nowhere: I have wandered through life so lost inside because of the secrets I hid in shame. What he did to me was not as bad as what I did to myself by locking it all away. All I have left is faith because it is the only way he will pay for what he did to me. #letgooftheshame #betterlatethannever #therapyart #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤

Imminent Harm
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Imminent Harm: There is no maybe or slight chance or any level of probability. He was absolute and that wolf lived inside a sheep. Trust no one, not no way, not no how. #cptsd #therapyart #safetyisadelusion #distorteddimension #hypervigilance

Welcome Back
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Welcome Back: I knew this journey to heal would be too complex to stay. I remained so alone in so many ways because as I shared myself with her I self sabatoged her safety. Isolation is a beautiful and comforting mistress who knows my anger well. #selfsabotage #failingtolove #cptsd #therapyart #healing

Unresolved Trauma
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Unresolved Trauma: The people pleaser is dead, happy to move on with or without someone. Would rather find peace than revenge or justice.#healing #learningtoforgive #letgoandletgod #therapyart #cptsd

Realities
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Realities: Two very important rationale that have quickly become a beacon for my healing and understanding. This is definitely one i watch often. #cptsd #therapyart #healing #lovewillfindaway #betterlatethannever

Untitled

Secondary Abuse
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Secondary Abuse: That is what I often call it and it is more inexcusable than the SA. I was blamed horribly and grossly so they didn't have to suffer. I was shamed and sent to my room, I was abandoned that day more than ever before and since. That has damaged my psyche and nervous system irreversibly. #therapyart #cptsd #safetyisadelusion #abandonment #jacobsladder

Trix are for Kids
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Trix are for Kids: This is a beautiful pipe dream that helps me remember my reckless years on drugs. if the song reminds you of that movie with the homeless kids on meth than we should be friends....iykyk. #therapyart #Bethemiracle #cptsd #higherppower #letgoandletgod

Struggle to Love
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Struggle to Love: So common for everyone but with this diagnosis I also have to accept that everyone else are not the problem. Not easy to look in the mirror amd realize your anger is secondary to protect you. #cptsd #therapyart #healing #betterlatethannever #failingtolove

My Hero
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 My Hero: My therapist asked me in session if I had any hero's as a kid that would make me feel safe, even in my own imagination. This video is my answer, a resounding no as there was no one to save me from his abuse. I became my own hero. #therapyart #cptsd #abandonment #safetyisadelusion #healing

Parts Therapy
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Parts Therapy: So IFS does make you feel a little crazier at first but wow is it helping me to manage my emotional flashbacks. Learning that these flashbacks are an opportunity for my wounded inner child to help me remember. Slowly but surely I am peeling these layers of protection away #healing #therapyart #cptsd #partstherapy #betterlatethannever

Picking up the pieces
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Picking up the pieces: Everytime I get hurt by someone I trusted, degree is irrelevant. If I am finally honest it takes just a word sometimes to shatter me inside. #cptsd #therapyart #healing #exposingthedamage #beyondbroken💔

The Mirage
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 The Mirage: I have been chasing a version of myself that has never existed. someone who wasnt abused and lived up to his full potential. The words blur because it is not real, as much as I wish they were. well at least not yet. #healing #therapyart #cptsd #distorteddimension #letgoandletgod

Horror in real life
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Horror in real life: She scared me in a way that ripped through space and time. I have never been that scared again because I have never stopped feeling that way. She was evil and I see her in so many ways and in so many nightmares. I should have told my parents she was lying and I was being abused. Should have, would have, could have. anyways I take no comfort in the millstone that is around her neck. #evilhidinginplainsight #therapyart #cptsd #exposingthedamage #healing

The Nothing
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 The Nothing: This is an AI image of the Nothing from the Neverending story. A movie just like Pinocchio that triggered me horribly as a kid. Knowing that should help explain the sarcasm and the disappointment that this video helps me let go of finally. my inner critic is not happy about the exposure. Zoom in amd you just might see him. #healing #cptsd #therapyart #abandonment #betterlatethannever

Terrible Lie
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Terrible Lie: The effects grooming had on me at such a young age, let alone the abuse, were permanent. My wounded inner child learned how to play like the adults and I have spent my entire adult life that way. Hopefully soon, he can just go play and adult me can finally put the pieces back together this time. #therapyart #cptsd #distorteddimension #partstherapy #exposingthedamage

Wolves and Lions
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Wolves and Lions: The wolf befriended me then devoured my innocence like a midnight guilty pleasure snack. His owner convicted me of being the wolf, regardless of how much of a sheep I was. So I learned to wear the wolves clothing to keep this sheep safe. The darkness is my home. #exposingthedamage #partstherapy #cptsd #abandonment #healing

Committed to Therapy
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Committed to Therapy: For me I will go as deep and as far as I need to go to heal. I have survived to live, not die. I k ow the darkness, I know the nothing. To be devoured and digested like the rest of the sheep is nothing new. This time though, I have a purpose and a better way out. I have help and an exit strategy when needed.#healing #partstherapy #cptsd #abandonment #therapyart

Let Go and Let God
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Let Go and Let God: Trigger Disclaimer for the Mom's out there, this is the worst part and inhuman. Truly evil and you know it because how much it goes against your nature to nurture. My abuser was caught by his Mom, who went off on me and put a white stripe of fear down my back like in the 80's cartoons. She called me horrible names and then dealt with me in disgust and violence. Dragged me across the street to my house to my Mother, who in shock at this monster just sent me to my room...never to be discussed again. Just my secret for 44 years now. The sarcasm and the darkness dance for me in this one and if I lose focus staring through it I see the light of God helping me to slowly let go of this shame she created. #secondaryabuse #cptsd #healing #therapyart #FaithOverFear

Safehouse
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Safehouse: The emotional flashbacks are as tough as the shame to sit in, accept and try to heal from. There is a space I created when being abused, then I buried it as deep as I could. It was opened in 2021 when my worst dad nightmare came true and someone hurt my child like I was hurt. When I finally realized the door was open it was too late and it broke me. I was diagnosed a few weeks later and suffered breakdowns for a few years until I finally accepted my cptsd. Welcome to my space in time where I hide and feel just fine. #cptsd #healing #exposingthedamage #therapyart #isolation

Just a Shell of a Man
TikTok post — 2025-11-07 Just a Shell of a Man: This is short and to the point on purpose, it is visceral for me and helps from an Exposure Therapy standpoint a lot. I feel little Jason when I see this, I feel his energy as if it we somehow separate but a part of me. This is IFS, or Parts Therapy. It helped me remember finally, I struggled to feel that pain again when brainspotting. The shell is broken and slowly falling away. #therapyart #healing #cptsd #partstherapy #lovewillfindaway

The Perfect Metaphor
TikTok post — 2025-11-08 The Perfect Metaphor: Might be easy to get this one, or maybe not, but for me I am releasing my trauma attachment through this vignette. A lonely creature made of everything but what she is. It is not a matter if worth, but a story of a fool that stopped believing she was a real girl. #therapyart #healing #cptsd #isolation #failingtolove

The Vault
TikTok post — 2025-11-08 The Vault: For 40 years I locked up my inner child, or at least any memory or mention of what we went through. My wife was the only one who knew, least I could do after what I put her through. This is how deep it can go, the spiral staircases have no end insight. #isolation #therapyart #abandonment #cptsd

Opening up to The Word
TikTok post — 2025-11-08 Opening up to The Word: For me God speaks through everything, which led me to be accountable and accept that everything includes scriptures. Psalms are scriptures I am grateful for, gives me hope and faith. Like the millstone, there is no comfort in realizing people get what they give. #cptsd #therapyart #letgoandletgod

Relentless
TikTok post — 2025-11-08 Relentless: This is how I believe my higher power, the love in our universe, sees me and who he created me to be. Gives me hope no matter what my inner critic thinks. #risefromtheashes #therapyart #cptsd #healing #higherppower

Transformation
TikTok post — 2025-11-08 Transformation: Its too late to turn back now and after how I fractured in 2021 there was no choice but to heal or die. I still fear the Transformation but only some of the time now. #healing #cptsd #therapyart #risefromtheashes #letgoandletgod

Dreamspotting
TikTok post — 2025-11-08 Dreamspotting: When my therapist learned how vividly I still remember my childhood and adult nightmares she challenged me to create content of them. That is my transition into exposure therapy, I take you all with me. The more I watch this and the more its viewed the less it will mess me up. This therapy art is about to get really dark but that is the point.#therapyart #cptsd #healing #dreamspotting #exposuretherapy

Level Up
TikTok post — 2025-11-08 #therapyart #cptsd #levelup

Devil in Disguise
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 Devil in Disguise: She has taken many forms in my nightmares over the years. I still vividly remember so many of them, time will never erase them from my memory. She has murdered my friends, strangers, and me in my nightmares. The meaning behind the dreams are obvious but for me it is the exposure now that is my therapy. #cptsd #therapyart #exposuretherapy #dreamspotting #secondaryabuse

Just Killing Time
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 Just Killing Time: Most of my days feel like I am just killing the time so it doesn't kill me. Isolated, invisible, I am known strictly for what I provide. A faceless soul who has no right to feel or hold others accountable. So I just keep killing time. #therapyart #cptsd #isolation #healing #abandonment

Isolation from Desolation
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 Isolation from Desolation: The imagery in the one speaks so much to me. I have multiple versions that help trigger my abandonment, which is why I isolate. I posted this version because this song and the images help me face the fact that I have self isolated for protection and I am trying to convince myself that I was not made to love this way. #abandonment #healing #isolation #cptsd #therapyart

Taking off the Mask
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 Taking off the Mask: The true face of my pain and my shame, of the abandonment and abuse. Tears of blood stain my real face, and after years of seeing people turn away all I can do is just laugh and bleed. My road to healing started when I found someone who leaned in when I took off the mask instead of turning away. #therapyart #cptsd #healing #abandonment #traumatherapy

The Devil Inside
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 The Devil Inside: There is a devil inside that knows my name. He is built from the ashes of my innocence. I have spent a lifetime keeping him away. When my scars bleed, danger is imminent. #traumatherapy #cptsd #fearofthedark #therapyart #exposuretherapy

Do you see the light? What is underneath seems to have no end, making
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 Do you see the light? What is underneath seems to have no end, making trust impossible. Not because I am incapable. For me, trust equals shame until someone shows me different. #therapyart #cptsd #secondaryabuse #failingtolove #exposingthedamage

50,000 Feet
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 50,000 Feet: In a nutshell, here is the story of the death of my innocence. These Phantoms of imagery help me let go of the man I was supposed to be. #therapyart #cptsd #exposuretherapy #healing #sasurvivor🖤

Nightmare Collection
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 Nightmare Collection: Welcome to more of my nightmares, I dream the battle for my soul. The impossible mission is my life and the faces of my CPTSD haunt me to this day. Heaven is just too far away so my castle on the cliff is the eternity I long for, regardless of how haunted it is. #therapyart #cptsd #healing #dreamspotting #nightmares

My Darkside
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 My Darkside: We all have a darkside so it's mere existence is normal. Why it exists and its purpose for living is where the answers lie. For this guy, the why is in Defence and its purpose is to protect the one they left to die. #therapyart #cptsd #exposuretherapy #healing #fearofthedark

Resonance
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 Resonance: If this one hits you, remember its not your fault. Iron Maidens sings it better than I can say it. My soul is at War. #exposuretherapy #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #therapyart #abandonment

Roll up your Sleeves
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 Roll up your Sleeves: The layers of therapies in my healing journey are what's behind the curtain. Pay no mind! #therapyart #cptsd #healing

Scream
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 Scream: This is one that woke me up screaming as a kid. I had the nightmare after going to the Pomona fairgrounds. I was still in the first year of the abuse. it seemed so real that I wandered off to the race track and saw her lying there and the Man standing over her. #therapyart #dreamspotting #cptsd #whatdoesitmean #nightmares

Sins of our Fathers
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 Sins of our Fathers: Not an easy way to live, exposed and corrupted so young. The pain, the shame, the regret. It is his prison, my wounded perverted inner child stuck in the pleasure island circus. #therapyart #cptsd #exposuretherapy #partstherapy #complextrauma

Healing
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 Healing: The process of healing in many ways is more painful than the abuse. But it is pain with purpose and results. Slowly but surely I am getting there, I am gratefully shedding my skin. #exposuretherapy #cptsd #therapyart #healing #trusttheprocess

Ready to Move On
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 Ready to Move On: A fool's errand is a kings reward. One can only hope. This triggers my hopelessness. which feels eternal. #therapyart #healing #cptsd #exposuretherapy #exposingthedamage

King Nothing
TikTok post — 2025-11-09 King Nothing: That point where you realize you are the problem. Accepting the narcissistic person I became to protect myself was the most humiliating and humbling part of the journey. The mirror doesn't lie. #cptsd #therapyart #humbledbygrace #healing #exposuretherapy

Self Love
TikTok post — 2025-11-10 Self Love: Giving myself space is not safe, at least at first l. It is getting better for the most part, at least for me. For the people that try to love me it probably makes it worse. #therapyart #cptsd #trusttheprocess

Stillness
TikTok post — 2025-11-10 Stillness: Slowly finding some peace when sitting still. I have comfort in the dark, it is the light that disturbs my peace. #therapyart #cptsd #exposuretherapy #healing #abandonment

Inner Child
TikTok post — 2025-11-10 Inner Child: My therapist said its sound like little Jason is mad at you. That shook me a bit but when I sat and processed, this is what came out. #healing #cptsd #therapyart #partstherapy #exposuretherapy

My Response
TikTok post — 2025-11-10 My Response: This is how I responded to my inner child, reminding him what is beyond our control. Also gave him a glimpse of what he looked liked to others, then added another dimension to help him see in 3D. #exposuretherapy #therapyart #cptsd #healing #partstherapy

Monday Blues
TikTok post — 2025-11-10 Monday Blues: I see in red when depressed, sometimes blue by mostly red. Trying to get work done in a flashback is not easy. That is why I have motivation everywhere around my desk. #cptsd #therapyart #healing #complextrauma #myownworstenemy

My People Pleaser is Dead
TikTok post — 2025-11-10 My People Pleaser is Dead: Well kinda, it is under attack and losing fast. I wont have anyone left when the Transformation is complete. Out one door and in through another window. This rock will keep spinning and as long as I am upright and breathing, I will not stay down. #healing #therapyart #cptsd #trusttheprocess #partstherapy

Emotional Flashbacks x2
TikTok post — 2025-11-10 Emotional Flashbacks x2: They are horrible and the images share what it feels like. Makes no damn sense unless it attaches, then all hell breaks loose. The road back gets harder and harder. #cptsd #therapyart #exposingthedamage #lovewillfindaway #safetyisadelusion

Venom
TikTok post — 2025-11-10 Venom: Such a great metaphor for the hell my wife has gone through with me. It took its toll and I hate that she cant be free. Hopefully me will be enough some day and make all the pain I caused go away. #exposingthedamage #therapyart #cptsd #myownworstenemy #distorteddimension

Difficult Truth
TikTok post — 2025-11-10 Difficult Truth: You have to sit in it, give it space and dont correct the way you feel. Feel it till it resolves, not the other way around. #cptsd #therapyart #trusttheprocess #abandonment

No Way Out
TikTok post — 2025-11-10 No Way Out: The flashback before and after it has attached to anything in the present. Before I blink there is no way out. #abandonment #therapyart #cptsd #distorteddimension #exposingthedamage

Nightmares started with the abuse and have been with me ever since.
TikTok post — 2025-11-10 Nightmares started with the abuse and have been with me ever since. They live in my head rent free, seen through the eyes of the dragon. #exposingthedamage #cptsd #therapyart #exposuretherapy #dreamspotting

Eyes of the Dragon
TikTok post — 2025-11-10 Eyes of the Dragon: Here is my childhood through the Eyes of the dragon. The horror and the trauma are on display, through my adolescent years when the next terrors began.. #exposuretherapy #therapyart ##cptsd #

Savior
TikTok post — 2025-11-10 Savior: I believe, I believe, as sure as my heart bleeds I believe. #cptsd #therapyart #exposuretherapy #lovewillfindaway #humbledbygrace

Learning to Breathe
TikTok post — 2025-11-10 Learning to Breathe: Spend so much of my life drowning in my CPTSD that I eventually just learned to breathe underwater. it is safer this way. #isolation #therapyart #cptsd #abandonment #safetyisadelusion

Sobriety
TikTok post — 2025-11-10 Sobriety: The blur, the fear, the nightmares.....this is sober living for CPTSD. #cptsd #therapyart #exposingthedamage #exposuretherapy #complextrauma

The Beginning to the End
TikTok post — 2025-11-12 The Beginning to the End: This is the most difficult one yet to post. It has taken me days to get to this point. Exposure to the absolute worst of the abuse is the beginning to the end. There is a lot here to process but the shame it triggers is its purpose. Feel it and let it go. #exposuretherapy #complextrauma #cptsd #trusttheprocess #sasurvivor🖤

Aging of Abuse
TikTok post — 2025-11-12 Aging of Abuse: My story is a tale as old as time, which is why Father time returns to the scene of the crime. #therapyart #exposuretherapy #cptsd #complextrauma #sasurvivor🖤

Dress Up
TikTok post — 2025-11-13 Dress Up: He liked to play dress up games to act out the movies. As shameful and embarrassing as it is, he was the one in control and the one to be ashamed. #cptsd #therapyart #complextrauma

Origin Stories
TikTok post — 2025-11-14 Origin Stories: Heros and Villians all have their origin stories. For my Villians, I imagine their innocence was like the waternelon against the sledgehammer like the rest of us. Its not empathy but a path to acceptance, I hope. #therapyart #cptsd #complextrauma #healing #CapCut

Time Travel
TikTok post — 2025-11-14 Time Travel: Going back to the scene of the crime whether I like it or not. I am not going to find what was lost and buried. That is not the point but it sure feels like it either way. Like the point of a knife piercing through my eyeballs. #freewilly #cptsd #therapyart #CapCut

Read the Room
TikTok post — 2025-11-16 Read the Room: Learning to sit still is still a wrestling match with my mind. Meditation is even worse but I dont care so I still try, slowly over time I get moments if peace. A true rest for my brain that is always thinking, or at least a rest for the thinker that is always listening. #trusttheprocess #therapyart #healing #cptsd #meditation

A Day in the Life
TikTok post — 2025-11-16 A Day in the Life: Wake up underneath the world to which I breathe. Awakened to the light that guides me, the light that brings me peace inside the storm. The light leads me through the maze, the haze and through each phase until it lays me down to sleep once more. #therapyart #complextrauma #hypervigilance #isolation #cptsd

Survival Mode Changed
TikTok post — 2025-11-16 Survival Mode Changed: Looking up, looking in, looking wherever the light finds me. Somedays hope through imagination of what comes next is the only way I make it through the day. #cptsd #complextrauma #therapyart #meditation #healing

Walking on Eggshells
TikTok post — 2025-11-17 Walking on Eggshells: I spent 40 years not looking at him in the mirror. I would go no where near him no matter how loud he got. No matter how bad the flashback I refused to go back. Now I sit and stare, frozen in time remembering. #fyp #exposuretherapy #cptsd #therapyart #partstherapy

Blood in the Water
TikTok post — 2025-11-19 Blood in the Water: Sometimes the only way out is through the fire. We villify and crucify instead of connecting and sharing perspectives. It is so easy to hate and so tough to love, especially when it comes to our self. The world is full of our critic more than the people living in it. Our Critic takes the shape of others so easily, we see with our triggers not our hearts. I am learning it is better to be burned at the stake then get caught holding the torch. #healing #therapyart #cptsd

Healing is my responsibility

Unbreakable Chains

My Protector
TikTok post — 2025-11-19 My Protector: A cool little video to expose us to the reality of the boy who lived behind the Eyes of the Dragon. The book was one of my favorite escapes as I grew into adolescence and the abuse was in the rear view mirror. #therapyart #cptsd #exposuretherapy #fyp #hypervigilance

A Dying Breed
TikTok post — 2025-11-19 A Dying Breed: Here is the story of my dragon whithering away into the land of Alzheimers, even though he protected me for all those years. My awakening is dependent on his death. #hypervigilance #cptsd #therapyart #healing #fyp

Anger Sharks Swimming
TikTok post — 2025-11-19 Anger Sharks Swimming: Hypervigance is a superpower but like everything in life there is balance. It is one hell of a curse, never realized how bad my nervous system was. Impossible to see in the mirror when you are swimming with the sharks. #therapyart #hypervigilance #cptsd #exposuretherapy #fyp

My Neverending Story
TikTok post — 2025-11-19 My Neverending Story: Another dragon Story that I escaped in often as a kid (Even though I skip the horse scene everytime). I wont watch it now, just reminds me of the reality that their was no Dragon to protect me then and I became my own Dragon instead. This is a horror movie. #therapyart #cptsd #healing #hypervigilance #theneverendingstory

Awakening
TikTok post — 2025-11-19 Awakening: This is really more what is it like for me. No dramatic energy waves through my shakras or wide open third eye. My shit is still trying to wake up. It is hungover and squinting to save his life. #therapyart #cptsd #therapyart #trusttheprocess #fyp

Skeletons of Society
TikTok post — 2025-11-19 Skeletons of Society: The angry mob mentality is clue number one that something is wrong. Salem Witch trials were enough for me, history doesn't need to keep repeating does it? Only thing that changes is how we villify, exile, and shame ourselves and others. I saw a Ted Talk about redefining love as boundaries, accountability and grace. Lets try that at least with ourselves and go from there? #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #healing #redefininglove

Hero Time
TikTok post — 2025-11-20 Hero Time: Finally felt like one again in therapy today. Stirred up a lot of different emotions so a few different takes on images of a boy's shadow being his hero, at least for a day. #fyp #CapCut #therapyart #healing #cptsd

Reality Check

Mid-life Irony

We Zig so we can Zag
TikTok post — 2025-11-21 We Zig so we can Zag: Spent a good amount of time in this last year reading up on attachment styles. But as I continue to heal and gain clarity I have come to this same realization. Attachment styles are how we cope with that fear of abandonment trigger. #cptsd #healing #letshamego #conditionedbyabuse #fyp

Just Another Nightmare
TikTok post — 2025-11-21 Just Another Nightmare: ThIs is a recurrung nightmare that started from this game we played swimming as a kid. We would pretend we went through portals to another diimension and then arrive in a strange new world. CS Lewis meets the Twighligut Zone. It always ended in me on my own and then being chased by some horrifying creature. I would always slip, fall and get caught. Then wake up in a horror, wondering what the hell was wrong with my imagination. These nightmares and the clarity of them all these years later are my marker for the level of trauma I went through. At least this one hasn't showed up since I had kids. #fyp #conditionedbyabuse #cptsd #therapyart #healing

Trauma Therapy
TikTok post — 2025-11-21 Trauma Therapy: The shit works if you have unresolved childhood trauma. We all do, the more undressed and packed away the worse our symptoms get. The more time goes by the more it feels impossible to overcome. It took me 3 years to accept the diagnosis but a year into trauma therapy and there ain't no denying that it is rhe problem and the remedy. I have progressed into exposure therapy and even though I would rather pull out my own fingernails it is releasing the shame. Shame is the root and abandonment is the tree. #cptsd #healing #exposuretherapy #trusttheprocess #complextrauma

Wholeness as a Core Value
TikTok post — 2025-11-21 Wholeness as a Core Value: These words explain wholeness to me so perfectly. It is found through self love. This guy gets it and he helps me a lot through these reminders as I rot. #therapyart #cptsd #healing #fyp #wholeness

Faces of Death
TikTok post — 2025-11-22 Faces of Death: The many faces and personas and versions of ourselves is like our own universe of characters that haunt our reality through perception. We have many parts to who we are and to learn them by name, sit with them and connect to understand and love them is how we heal them and learn from them. #selflove #cptsd #therapyart #partstherapy #CapCut

Eyes of Our Beholders
TikTok post — 2025-11-22 Eyes of Our Beholders: This is exposure to help me heal my fear and shame because the eyes trigger my trauma. The judgement, the intent, the rage, the power, the control, the lust, the malice, the strength, the light are all messages inside the eyes of my beholders that provoke my protection. #therapyart #cptsd #selflove #exposuretherapy #CapCut

The Brutal Truth
TikTok post — 2025-11-22 The Brutal Truth: I have struggled to accept the truth about my complex ptsd brain. Learning how it functions has helped me accept the truth of how my brain distorts my reality. It felt like my last resort and thank God accepting it is paying off, but finding the balance is tough. Having boundaries just got a whole lot more impossible so healing our brain, our nervous system and developing the emotional intelligence to manage the flashbacks are critical to the transformation. #therapyart #cptsd #complextrauma #trusttheprocess #CapCut

Pay the Toll
TikTok post — 2025-11-22 Pay the Toll: Years of living inside the storms and rageful destruction that they caused has definitely taken its toll on the ones I love the most, the most. So now I slowly repair the connections one at a time. #cptsd #therapyart #healing #exposuretherapy #CapCut

Work Ethic
TikTok post — 2025-11-22 Work Ethic: This is where my blue collar roots and my trusty old work boots come in handy. It sucks though, and I am definitely tired Grandpa but I cant live any more in the shame of it all. #therapyart #healing #cptsd #fyp #CapCut #

The Holy Trinity
TikTok post — 2025-11-22 The Holy Trinity: These are my three steps to emotional intelligence. Ending Survival Mode at least when alone, letting go of the shame from my abuse, and understanding primary and secondary emotions. #healing #cptsd # #CapCut

The Floodgates
TikTok post — 2025-11-22 The Floodgates: Most of the time this one frustrates the hell out of me. But that only because it is true. A hyperactive mind doesnt care what it is thinking about so why should the thinker? We are accountable for but not capable of, controlling our thoughts. I am learning to give myself grace and let my thoughts run their course. Funny thing is, most times they lead to epiphanies. #learningtolove #easeyourworriedmind #cptsd #healing #CapCut

Hope
TikTok post — 2025-11-22 Hope: Love is the light we see, the air we feel and the air we breate. This content found me before we left for Maui last summer. My kids did this breathwork with me at a few waterfalls once we were there. A different way to meditate that changed me forever. I hold onto this video as a prized possession so grateful that it found me. #lovewillfindaway #healing #therapyart #meditation #loveisgod

Bleeding Tears

Worthy of Meditation
TikTok post — 2025-11-22 Worthy of Meditation: The ability may still be there but I dont know where and I fail to love someone who has crossed me or done me wrong every time. As I meditated this morning on this message the faces of my haters were all I could see. Not my abusers but my present haters, guess the message is better used on them versus those who wear millstones around their necks. #therapyart #healing #meditation #cptsd #learningtolove

The Problem is the Answer
TikTok post — 2025-11-22 The Problem is the Answer: We all experience trauma, especially as children but also throughout our lives. Healing is a journey of the self but not one that we can do alone. We need an outlet, an ear, a guide, and friend, a mentor, a platform, a pen. We have to let it go but need something to lean on when we do. Find your something, if your alone than face your fear and use what the universe is giving you. This profile is my way of letting it go, no one is ever really alone. #cptsd #therapyart #healing #letshamego #fyp

Learning to Rest
TikTok post — 2025-11-22 Learning to Rest: One of the best ways to understand our need to rest is to accept the truth about how you love the person in the mirror. We are conditioned to not develop a relationship with ourselves, or at least I was, so learning to love myself is done when I can rest. This content helps me learn how to rest more effectively. #therapyart #healing #cptsd #easeyourworriedmind #fyp

This is a Crime Scene
TikTok post — 2025-11-23 This is a Crime Scene: More than a school it is where my innocence and free will were forcibly thrown into a bottomless grave. It was a Saturday afternoon, no one around so it was the devil's playtime with me. I am trying to sit with my 6 year old self in my room later that day but then he tells me things like we started showering on our own that day. Or how freaked out he was from the blood, horrified that they would find out and beat him with their belts until we bled some more. It is horrible and suffocating. Physically it sends my BP into the 180's and makes my chest flutter and ache. I try to sit with him and remember as much as I can handle. This content and the next two are for him. #therapyart #exposuretherapy #letshamego #sasurvivor🖤 #partstherapy

Hunting Wabbit
TikTok post — 2025-11-23 Hunting Wabbit: I was six years old and he had been grooming me for months. We were in public so I never expected him to force me over the table and rape me. Forty something years later and I can still feel his hands squeezing the hell out of me. I grabbed that table and screamed in pain but no one could here me. We were far enough away, no one could hear but if a car drove by they might see. Not how my story goes, instead I was trapped in a cage and was force fed his rage for two years. #therapyart #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #letshamego #CapCut

The Hunting Continues
TikTok post — 2025-11-23 The Hunting Continues: Not easy or simple to express and expose myself, at six years old it was a really bad nightmare that horrified me. I eventually learned from the movies and as faceless as I became, in my mind I was always somewhere else. #sasurvivor🖤 #letshamego #exposuretherapy #therapyart #CapCut

Looking Up

Shadows Carry Light
TikTok post — 2025-11-23 Shadows Carry Light: Learning to accept that I have an inner critic like everyone else has led me to get to know this part of me. He deserves the Oscar for the performances he has done for me. He was born out of my shame and protected me while I stayed safe in my tree of abandonment. He was the food source I needed to grow leaves of fear to cover me from their abuse and neglect. This year, the changing of the seasons will take these leaves and I will transform to grow a different leaf in the Spring. #therapyart #cptsd #partstherapy #fyp #CapCut

Identity Crisis
TikTok post — 2025-11-23 Identity Crisis: Abuse, all types, is a direct attack on your identity. These words are true, but I dont really understand them. What is an identity? I have gone my whole life pretending to have one so I never had to reveal that mine was what happened to me. But now I am learning to accept that as I heal from both what happened and how it affected me, I will be able to rebuild what the abuse destroyed. #partstherapy #cptsd #therapyart #sasurvivor🖤 #CapCut

Trapped Under Ice
TikTok post — 2025-11-25 Trapped Under Ice: Stuck isnt even the word for it, permanent is what it feels like. 40 plus years living in physical fear has definitely taken its toll. My problem list is the DSM entry for CPTSD. It is a systemic distortion in space and time that I am not sure can be fixed. #therapyart #cptsd #fyp #exposuretherapy #healing

Death by 1000 Papercuts
TikTok post — 2025-11-25 Death by 1000 Papercuts: The acceptance of the diagnosis is a big part of the journey. You cannot stop the compression of the symptoms when you are in denial. Instead we embrace the shame and share the reality this diagnosis creates. #healing #exposuretherapy #fyp #cptsd #complextrauma

Caught in a Mosh
TikTok post — 2025-11-25 Caught in a Mosh: It is an awakening but violent like when I spring up from a nightmare. Helpful to know I am all freakin 8 types because that help explain my distorted internal family system. I am everthing everywhere all at one. #cptsd #fyp #healing #therapyart #partstherapy

Fear is a Liar
TikTok post — 2025-11-25 Fear is a Liar: I need this one to help me when the fear is too much to bear. For me this verse is hope for knowing a new type of fear, one that is born in love somehow. These words do not refer to the fear we face, no matter how bad. For me it also doesn't mean obedience, to me it means respect. Like respecting the ocean, or gravity or breathing. #therapyart #easeyourworriedmind #healing #fyp #complextrauma

Playfull Madness
TikTok post — 2025-11-25 Playfull Madness: There is something so free about shining light onto our darkness. There is a toxic avenger part of me that I keep deep down inside trapped inside a Prism, inside a prison. He is that voice that tells me to self soothe and medicate, using whatever it is I am trying not to use that day. Sugar is essential the way I consume it and medications dont help with this part. Strength comes from within, so through discipline and distraction I lock in and ride it out until toxic Avenger falls asleep. #fyp #complextrauma #healing #therapyart #cptsd

I Just Kept on Running
TikTok post — 2025-11-25 I Just Kept on Running: This is what I imaging everytime someone says "Wow, you lived with that all alone for how long?" I have been running from the abuse ever since he got caught but I am ready to stop running. I just need to find a way to jump off this Carousel. #therapyart #cptsd #healing #complextrauma #fyp

The Road Less Travelled
TikTok post — 2025-11-26 The Road Less Travelled: I have awakened to see the destruction in the aftermath. The desolation of my innocence, my identity, and my freedom. Parts therapy makes sense because you are broken into pieces under trauma. That break in the psyche can mend, but waking up together again hurts worse. #fyp #CapCut #complextrauma #cptsd #therapyart

Mother of all Lies
TikTok post — 2025-11-26 Mother of all Lies: The Mother wound is born from the wounds our Mothers carry. They can destroy the chance of another mother suffering like they have by the hands of their sons. I was given the blessing and curse of having two mother wounds, both stemming from the same son. t#CapCut

War Games
TikTok post — 2025-11-26 War Games: Most days and most steps in the right direction are still such a battle. I am waging war on my belief system and performing a complete redesign and rebuild. It is an Epic battle between the past and the present. #therapyart ##cptsd #fyp #exposuretherapy #CapCut

Happy Pills
TikTok post — 2025-11-26 Happy Pills: The lifetime of trauma response is more if a challenge than the abuse but it is horrible to admit that your inner child still needs saving. Until, you realize that you, the person you are right now, is the only one that can rescue him. The slowly but surely, one happy pill at a time you begin to lean how to be your own hero in the suffering. #cptsd #therapyart #complextrauma #partstherapy #fyp

Replacing the Critic
TikTok post — 2025-11-26 Replacing the Critic: This one is perfect for the inner critic work, as it is our thoughts that our two wolves eat. This piece is my letter to my wolves letting them know they are safe with me and will be fed nourishment instead of shame going forward. #therapyart #complextrauma #exposuretherapy #fyp #learningtolove

The Truth will Set You Free
TikTok post — 2025-11-27 The Truth will Set You Free: Trying to come to terms with the fact that my inner child wants to be saved and that I am the only one that can hold him through the shame and make sure he finally knows he is not to blame. It honestly feels like a hopeless battle but I am trying to believe that I will laugh tomorrow when I can't even smile today. #exposuretherapy #therapyart #cptsd #fyp #letshamego

Take the Time to Focus
TikTok post — 2025-11-27 Take the Time to Focus: Sarcasm is thick with the music for this one, but it fits too well. The hope that we should all have as we wake up is not a reality for this diagnosis. We can get there, and it really still is first light, we just have to wade through the darkness to find it first. So first light but second breath. This is why I try to give myself 30 minutes every morning to be still. That is how I find the light, doesnt always work sometimes it does. #fyp #cptsd #therapyart #complextrauma #healing

Stranger Things
TikTok post — 2025-11-27 Stranger Things: This one is a lot to process, there is alot of meaning to each of the images for me. It is a progression through the years of sexual abuse, which was 6 to 8 years old for me. I had to go to a land of make believe to survive his cat and mouse game. That make believe is what has haunted me ever sense, which is why I make so many of these videos. #complextrauma #therapyart #cptsd #healing #exposuretherapy

Trauma Is a Teacher

TikTok post — 2025-11-27 Not of This World: Learning to be who I was created to be is going to take time, a lot of time like the aging and recovery of a beautiful tree that somehow survived a forest fire. #fyp #healing #therapyart #cptsd #learningtolove

The Puppet Master
TikTok post — 2025-11-28 The Puppet Master: She pulls the strings and smiles in bitter vengeance and scorn. Suffering is what pleases her and there is nothing I can do about it. Sometimes when you win you lose, and when you lose you win. #cptsd #therapyart #exposuretherapy #fyp #complextrauma

Mile Marker 7
TikTok post — 2025-11-28 Mile Marker 7: Going to take a moment to stop and reflect on the distance traveled. I had to take my time and progress into this understanding, I had a lot to unpack and work through. The exposure therapy helps. This account helps to seriously process my triggers. Still not a fan of the word, but they are real and my responsibility. I have at least learned to face and sit with myself in my triggered moments, no matter how bad they get. #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #remindertomyself #healing

Diagnosed
TikTok post — 2025-11-28 Diagnosed: It took me a few years to accept this CPTSD diagnosis and hold myself accountable for healing. Just like everyone else, my healing journey will take ecen longer and the end is realky only the beginning. Some days i will suffer and other days I will not, at least I know what it is I am suffering from finally. #therapyart #healing #fyp #complextrauma #CapCut

Common Ground
TikTok post — 2025-11-28 Common Ground: This is definitely a common trait with CPTSD, a relentless and unstoppable pursuit for survival. I am learning that just like everything else, this can be a super power as well as my downfall. Just depends on the fire so I just need to work on cleaning up the fuel. #healing #remindertomyself #cptsd #fyp #CapCut

No Good Deed
TikTok post — 2025-11-28 No Good Deed: The truth if these words are undeniable, but that has led soaky heartbreaks along the way. I do everything I can do to not let the pain change this part of me, including giving it to God so the pain is the point. To love is to bleed. #fyp #cptsd #remindertomyself #healing #therapyart

The Affect if the Effect
TikTok post — 2025-11-29 The Affect if the Effect: The part I hate the most about therapy, especially exposure sessions, are the return of the nightmares. Only good part, the saving grace if you may, is that I have adult me to comfort me.

Step Backwards to go Forward
TikTok post — 2025-11-29 Step Backwards to go Forward: The decision to do trauma therapy was not made lightly. I spent a lot of time worrying about the impact and working to resolve my fear so I no longer saw it as counterproductive. What I was really afraid of was how I would react, imagining being thrown into a straightjacket and a padded room was on repeat for weeks. I am really glad I faced that fear because a year later and there is no denying what I have unlearned. I look forward to the year ahead rebuilding my internal family (belief) system. #onwardsandupwards #cptsd #therapyart #healing #fyp

Motivation through Instigation
TikTok post — 2025-11-29 Motivation through Instigation: This is not sarcasm, but the haunting music helps as these words often provoke me. I am getting better, really starting tj feel the truth behind these words. As my inner critic lashes out at me I remind him that these words are not just some up our you o ow what. They are my manifestation for healing. #fyp #remindertomyself #cptsd #therapyart #healing

Holiday Lights
TikTok post — 2025-11-29 Holiday Lights: One of my biggest triggers around the holidays are Christmas lights. Especially when laying in bed and seeing them from outside my window. Didn't understand why until I remembered laying in my bed as a kid and staring at them out my window. Not ours, but the ones on the neighbors house where I was being abused. They sure loved to decorate their house. #therapyart #cptsd #remindertomyself #fyp #holidaytriggers

Dungeons and Dragons
TikTok post — 2025-11-29 Dungeons and Dragons: It has been in the deepest parts of my soul where I hid my wounded inner child. When I was first diagnosed with CPTSD the psychiatrist I was seeing focused a lot on setting my inner child free. He was locked up in a dungeon and guarded by a Dragon. Quite a few years later and I am just starting to understand how to do that. I am also learning that in doing so I am helping us transform into someone who is no longer controlled by fear. It is not bravery or courage as much as it is inner strength to not just survive but to overcome. I do not need to defeat the dragon to set myself free, I need to become the dragon. #fyp #cptsd #therapyart #beadragon #partstherapy

Break the Glass
TikTok post — 2025-11-30 Break the Glass: Will be using this one often, I need to learn how to chant like this because the vibration is so comforting when triggered. #iykyk #healing #therapyart #cptsd #fyp

Intestinal Fortitude (Literally)
TikTok post — 2025-11-30 Intestinal Fortitude (Literally): Having the guts to trust your gut is not enough, people cant handle the truth. My trauma response is in full effect when I feel the wrong energy from people. A very difficult thing to describe to people who havent been Hypervigant since age 6. Best way to describe it is I feel energy in techicolor but see in black and white. Learning to manage this is a journey in itself. #cptsd #hylervigilance #therapyart #fyp #iykyk

Who's Laughing? Letting go of the shame is only possible once you
TikTok post — 2025-11-30 Who's Laughing? Letting go of the shame is only possible once you finally start to believe it is not your fault. That belief is no different for me than having faith in God. They are both mustard seeds at best but immortal nonetheless. Grooming and coercion, manipulation and control, the evil of man known long before I ever became one. #therapyart #cptsd #healing #sasurvivor🖤 #fyp

No More Mr. Nice Guy
TikTok post — 2025-11-30 No More Mr. Nice Guy: A very common struggle for people with CPTSD is to be labeled as too sensitive. For me it has been a trigger, as I am sure it is for everyone else. Yet we all need to be accountable for reacting and listening with the intensity of our triggers. I have no answer for this, other than to keep trying. If I do I will eventually find the answer in what gets triggered. #fyp #healing #CapCut #cptsd #therapyart

Inside Out
TikTok post — 2025-11-30 Inside Out: This is not a scream or a battle cry, it is praise for the light that I found turning my heart to God. What happened to my daughter broke me, I had no way of being who I was before. There was no putting humpty dumpty back together again. Healing only comes through transformation so I created this content to remind me that the light of God, just like the love of God, and the very name of God has always been there inside. Just need to sit and breathe. #therapyart #cptsd #healing #remindertomyself #fyp

Buried Alive
TikTok post — 2025-11-30 Buried Alive: Heading back down to the memories of the abuse. Need to finish my written account of the first time he forced his way into me. I have had to do this in parts, it is horrible but just like the last one I wrote, once I recover I will feel the gratitude from my wounded inner child that I finally told some one. To read these testimonies out loud is a visceral and horribly healing experience. So here we go for take 2 on reporting to an authority figure what he did to me. 44 years later...... #fyp #therapyart #sasurvivor🖤 #healing #cptsd

Shadow Transformation
TikTok post — 2025-11-30 Shadow Transformation: Going back to the worst of my abuse helped me realize that my shadow that haunted me was transformed through my pain. As I got older and the nightmares continued I started experimenting with drugs in 6th and 7th grade. This is when my shadow was comforting in the middle of the night when waking up from a nightmare. I spent plenty of intoxicated moments just sitting in the dark over the adolesent years ahead. The darkenss became comfortable and safe, as long as I was high. #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #beadragon #CapCut

Feels Like the First Time
TikTok post — 2025-11-30 Feels Like the First Time: There is freedom in being true to self and correcting our attachment issues. Isn't easy and requires us to sit in hurt feelings but better than people pleasing. Everytime I choose me I heal a little more inside. #cptsd #therapyart #fyp #healing #onwardsandupwards

Up Around the Bend
TikTok post — 2025-12-01 Up Around the Bend: Hope and faith are all we really need to survive anything if we can turn them into a fighting chance. Still a ways to go but I definitely see the lights on the horizon. #healing #onwardsandupwards #fyp #therapyart #cptsd

Beyond the Veil
TikTok post — 2025-12-02 Beyond the Veil: Born into a home, a family, a life full of possibilities but low on opportunities. Instead the randomizer landed on trauma and obstacles. I made my way though, I found the light and it never lost me. All these years later most of it is really all a blur so I keep moving towards the light. I learned quite long ago to just keep climbing and don't look down. #cptsd #healing #therapyart #fyp #onwardsandupwards

Colorblind
TikTok post — 2025-12-02 Colorblind: Light is energy without mass, yet it is made up of photons that are both a particle and a wave. Trauma changed the way my brain interprets light and now I am colorblind and only see the danger in Infared. This content is here to remind me that God is light, and all frequencies and colors are still there. #cptsd #fyp #therapyart #healing #hylervigilance

Observe and not Absorb
TikTok post — 2025-12-02 Observe and not Absorb: Motivation to keep going, to continue this healing journey even though it hurts like hell. It helps more than just me and I have moments of clarity like never before so gotta keep going. #cptsd #healing #therapyart #gottakeepgoing #CapCut

Scream Therapy
TikTok post — 2025-12-02 Scream Therapy: The pain of these panic attacks and constant anxiety is captured so beautifully for me. These lyrics and images help me scream in techicolor. #therapyart #healing #cptsd #screamtherapy #CapCut

Tracing Chalklines
TikTok post — 2025-12-02 Tracing Chalklines: The chalklines that outline the shape of my heart are drawn through my states of disassociation. The lines blur and follow no distinction because I am alseep at the wheel in order to survive. #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #dissassociative #CapCut

Panic at the Disco
TikTok post — 2025-12-03 Panic at the Disco: These panic attacks, some days they are just so heavy. After a long day of this pain in my chest I am ready to throw myself off this crazy train. #therapyart #healing #fyp #cptsd #gottakeepgoing

For My Inner Critic
TikTok post — 2025-12-03 For My Inner Critic: An argument against the vile trash spewed by my inner critic that shits hom up every time. This definitely more of a connecting piece because it enlightens us. Helps us to get above the ignorance of our perception being reality. #fyp #remindertomyself #beadragon #complextrauma #onwardsandupwards

The Dark Crystal
TikTok post — 2025-12-04 The Dark Crystal: My whole life I have hated Christmas, just depressed the hell out of me especially as a kid. I know why now so I am halfway there but three days into December and I am struggling already. #complextrauma #fyp #screamtherapy #holidayblues #CapCut

Shape Shifting Realities
TikTok post — 2025-12-04 Shape Shifting Realities: Not an easy truth to learn but having hypervigilance helps. The things people say about me has always been a huge trigger for me. Up until this last year I just did everything I could to not care. Now I do my shadow work to learn why it triggers me so bad. She lied about me and I did nothing......... #screamtherapy #fyp #remindertomyself #healing #hylervigilance

Love My Way
TikTok post — 2025-12-04 Love My Way: This is what it is like to love me, I am a dark story and so impossible to predict. Accepting that I was the storm in my relationships, especially my marriage just about broke me. I am doing my best to safely storm and heal and love simultaneously and every day I get a little better at it. #healing #fyp #complextrauma #onwardsandupwards #therapyart

Autograph in Pictograph
TikTok post — 2025-12-04 Autograph in Pictograph: In the battle for freedom, I am love transformed. Etheral. Empyrean. It helps to believe in something divine and eternal. The photon helps me logically, rationally, and intuitively believe that the answer is in the light. Consciousness is light, God is light, love is light. Just different wavelengths or frequencies that we sense differently. #fyp #therapyart #withmyowneyes #ifs #whiteknuckleit

Hope in the Strangest Places
TikTok post — 2025-12-04 Hope in the Strangest Places: This year of the Snake has been a time for wisdom, reflection, and personal growth. It has also be a time of transformation. We are going into the Year of the Fire Horse, which brings an energetic and fast-paced energy. If I can get them to dance I just might finally make it out alive. #therapyart #fyp #healing #chineseastrology #sheddingmyskin

Eternally Grateful
TikTok post — 2025-12-04 Eternally Grateful: The awareness that is found in suffering is existential and I for one am very grateful for this balancing effect. I used to think I was just trained to flinch like beaten down dog but now I realize that while I was down my vision changed. It is more than paying attention, it is observing and interpreting energy. #fyp #hylervigilance #beadragon #cptsd #therapyart

This one is written so well, simple but profound. Our willingness to
TikTok post — 2025-12-04 This one is written so well, simple but profound. Our willingness to love others drives our capacity and ability to love. That willingness dies when we do not love ourselves enough to be accountable and responsibile emotionally. The power is and has always been inside each and everyone of us. It took me until 50 years old to start loving myself but that is because I believed I was already doing by surviving. It was everyone else who was messed up and I was the victim. I blew so much smoke up my butt out of fear I was been taken advantage of and betrayed like always. Some serious smoke that is at least gone now. This one is here to help me have accountability and grace. #therapyart #remindertomyself #fyp #healing #emotionallyaccountable

My Kind of Fairy Tale
TikTok post — 2025-12-04 My Kind of Fairy Tale: Exposure therapy session today was much like the beginning of this content. The reward for finally reporting the abuse is I can enjoy some make believe time in my therapy art. #healing #fyp #remindertomyself #sasurvivor🖤 #cptsd

My Happy Place
TikTok post — 2025-12-04 My Happy Place: I like this make believe therapy art, it makes me feel like with a little pixie dust I could fly. I am trying to imagine them all getting what they deserve. #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #healing #therapyart #fyp

Under Pressure
TikTok post — 2025-12-04 Under Pressure: Exposure therapy day and the warning is necessary. These contents are highly pressurized, proceed with extreme caution. It hurts, its a living hell, but its purposefull and I am not pretending away any emotions. This lump of coal with be shining here soon enough as my true self begins to appear. #therapyart #healing #fyp #sasurvivor🖤 #cptsd

Only Lost is Found
TikTok post — 2025-12-04 Only Lost is Found: Title stolen from one of my favorite bands @Blue October that fits my therapy art video so well. Welcome to my frantic search for my wounded inner child that I buried so deep in this Ghost town of a soul that I cannot find him anymore. I have a feeling as I continue to tell his story he will eventually come out from the shadows to heal with me. #sasurvivor🖤 #cptsd #healing #therapyart #CapCut

Light up the Dark
TikTok post — 2025-12-04 Light up the Dark: I may be down but it is only to let go of the shame, the fear, and the restraint. This time I chose to break. The same way over and over again until it heals and I don't break anymore. Exposure therapy is a living hell but it is suffering with purpose and it Lights me up. @Blue October #therapyart #fyp #healing #exposuretherapy #CapCut

Angel of Mercy
TikTok post — 2025-12-05 Angel of Mercy: There are many different types of angels in the lexicon of time. The Angel of Mercy is the one that I must have broken the wing of because she left me on that playground with the devil's reject. This is my shadow work and I pray that the more I expose myself to these shameful feelings of anger against my higher power, the more they dissapear and love remains.#shadowork #therapyart #fyp #complextrauma #CapCut

My Broken Hallelujah
TikTok post — 2025-12-05 My Broken Hallelujah: The love and the light are right there working to heal the pain and the darkness. Days like today are so visceral both painfully and joyfully. It has me exhausted, brain and nervous system fried, and medicated to prescription. It is beautiful and tragic yet poetic either way. It mught be the meds talking but today is where I found my Angel of Mercy. #complextrauma #fyp #therapyart #healing #CapCut

The Man, The Myth, The Legend
TikTok post — 2025-12-05 The Man, The Myth, The Legend: This is a triggered way to remember the man who I called Dad. We lost him 19 years ago today and although little me feared him almost as much as the Devil, Adult me made amends with the old man and he became my guiding light through my mid 20's as a single Dad. I wasted my childhood fearing him and my adolescent years hating him. All to get 10 years of learning from and leaning on him. He was many things that I admired and am honored to carry on through my life.He is always with us, and I feel his energy. It sounds like his laugh and shines bright in Cardinal and Gold. Fight On Pops. #healing #therapyart #fyp #popasan #CapCut

Strength Though Weakess
TikTok post — 2025-12-05 Strength Though Weakess: Opening up and sharing our stories of trauma and suffering helps us and others in many ways. Allowing us the space to feel and validate ourselves in ways we lived without is something we cannot achieve on our own. Telling our story is how healing happens. One connection at a time. #therapyart #cptsd #healing #fyp #sasurvivor🖤

God's Timing, God's Way
TikTok post — 2025-12-05 God's Timing, God's Way: We dont always agree with the timing or the way but it always seems to amaze me at how wrong we are and how right God is. This video is a great representation of how God finally got me to see the light all these many years later. #therapyart #cptsd #exposuretherapy #transformation #fyp

With Each New Day
TikTok post — 2025-12-05 With Each New Day: Yesterday was hell, but its was intentional and with purpose. Today with all the baggage and triggers and emotional flashbacks I am able to see the bright side of this story. That fill me with hope and awe, because I know its not just me writing it anymore. #transformation #fyp #exposuretherapy #cptsd #therapyart

Piece by Piece
TikTok post — 2025-12-05 Piece by Piece: Parts therapy and learning about Internal Family (Belief) systems has been a strange trip already. It helps though and this content is the simple truth about the wounded parts. They all serve a purpose and soon I hope they can rest and juat watch while the new healed parts start the next chapter. #therapyart #cptsd #partstherapy #fyp #healing

Escaping the Trauma
TikTok post — 2025-12-06 Escaping the Trauma: So one gift I developed from the abuse was one heck of an imagination. I was never artistic but very creative and I fell in love with writing by 6th grade. My mind is an infinite place where I can escape and even hide when I need too. I like to imagine what is next, what is beyond, and what is possible. When in all reality, all I want to do is avoid mine. Old gifts in new bags bring old problems with new people. #healing #fyp #cptsd #therapyart #dissassociative

Holidays are Hell
TikTok post — 2025-12-06 Holidays are Hell: This time of year is the worst for me and now that I know why I am ok with that. Nothing being missed, cheer and joy are shared in other ways. Kids are happy and family is too so all is well. I just wish I didnt see his house everywhere I went. #therapyart #cptsd #holidayblues #fyp #exposuretherapy

Read Between the Lines
TikTok post — 2025-12-06 Read Between the Lines: A great thought that connects the dots well. It does require us to read between the lines to understand that the key to meeting that need is understanding the emotions. This can be quite challenging, I would rather look at energies than my emotions but it works and helps. Having EQ is a game changer and the lesson learned the hard way I can share is you can't develop EQ with unresolved trauma. #exposuretherapy #fyp #cptsd #healing #emotionalintelligence

Opportunity
TikTok post — 2025-12-08 Opportunity: I have always been fascinated in outer space, I even worked a few years for Jet Propulsion Laboratory. There is no clearer evidence to me that God is Love and God is real than outer space. This is one of two videos created to help me smile through the painful days. #healing #cptsd #fyp #therapyart #remindertomyself

Spirit
TikTok post — 2025-12-08 Spirit: Not that I need the reminder but this one holds the other truth I dont want to ever forget. There is so much that lies beyond this planet. All we have to do is look up to see it. If we want to see everything that lies beyond this life, we need to look within. #remindertomyself #therapyart #fyp #cptsd #transformation

Stranger in a Strange Land
TikTok post — 2025-12-08 Stranger in a Strange Land: Navigating my way through life with this diagnosis feels a lot like this photo. The landscape is very different from anything here at home. There is even a guide in the space suit. #therapyart #remindertomyself #fyp #

Eye on the Prize
TikTok post — 2025-12-08 Eye on the Prize: One of these days my mind body and soul will have peace for more than a moment but for now I will cherish these moments. #fyp #therapyart

To Infinity and Beyond
TikTok post — 2025-12-08 To Infinity and Beyond: He is free and currently on the infinite path of just being a kid and letting me worry about it from here on out. He is not ashamed and he is scared to death but will not let that stop him from being free. #therapyart #fyp #cptsd #healing #transformation

Free At Last
TikTok post — 2025-12-08 Free At Last: There is a new part of me that was created as I started to let go of the shame. It has grown slowly but exponentially nonetheless. Reporting the abuse, 44 years later, was a living hell that I faced and overcame. In doing so, once I recovered, I had visceral joy in my chest. Only other times I felt that was at the birth of each of my kids and seeing my wife walk down the isle. #therapyart #cptsd #fyp #exposuretherapy #partstherapy

The Real Slim Shady
TikTok post — 2025-12-08 The Real Slim Shady: Abandonment is the ultimate sin, regardless of who, what, and where. It changes reality completely with all aspects of self-image and self-esteem destroyed and shattered. The worst part is I am the only one who is able to heal that wound. Self abandonment is so automatic after all these years that it feels impossible most of the time. But, what I am learning one day at a time is the more I show up for that poor wounded little boy, the less the abuse defines me. The only way to end the identity crisis that SA creates is to stop neglecting that it happened. #therapyart #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #fyp #selfabandonment

Firestarter
TikTok post — 2025-12-08 Firestarter: One part if this CPTSD fueled reality that has always been horrible to live with is how quickly I can start a fire. The intensity is proportional to my awareness, which is only a year old now. I accept that the abuse and abandonment I endured turned my spark into a blowtorch. I need to isolate if I can't regulate. For everyone's sake. #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #emotionalintelligence #emotionallyaccountable

A Perfect Circle
TikTok post — 2025-12-08 A Perfect Circle: What fits inside an triangle? A perfect circle, which is what these three pictures represent. From the beginning to the end and back to the beginning. An infinite loop of energy and love. #fyp #transformation #therapyart #fyp #healing

I Am Groot
TikTok post — 2025-12-09 I Am Groot: I sing this song with what feels like last breaths sometimes. But whether I feel it or don't the progress and the changes are there. Mostly good, some are challenging like this sensitivity to noises getting worse not better. One day at a time though, at least the roots are there finally so it is literally just a matter of time. #healing #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #connection

Wish Upon a Star
TikTok post — 2025-12-09 Wish Upon a Star: I remember during my adolescent years often imagining what the next life is going to look like. I even had some turbulent drug induced experiences where my imagination helped me through the ride. Oftentimes, as an adult, i have spent a lot of sober moments thinking about what is next to help me get through a difficult challenge. Although I imagine the next life differently it helps just the same. This is some therapy art to serve that same purpose. #cptsd #therapyart #fyp

Daymares
TikTok post — 2025-12-09 Daymares: This is what happens when my fear works its way into my daydreams. I often am seen just staring off into no where land in a dissassociative state. This is usually what you would see if you had a camera in my head. It helps to drown out the flashbacks but keeps me in a frantic mood. #therapyart #fyp #cptsd #dissassociative #CapCut

Showing Up for Myself
TikTok post — 2025-12-09 Showing Up for Myself: There is only one person that abandoned me for all these years and it is me. The self-abandonment became my way of living. Working to change this is tough. I am the first and worst critic but small steps and wins will get me there. #cptsd #fyp #therapyart #healing #selfabandonment

Universal Studios
TikTok post — 2025-12-09 Universal Studios: The levels of abuse and shame are buried so deep that it took an act of God to dig them up. Now the universe gently weeps as my story unfolds vulgar before me. #healing #therapyart #fyp #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤

Blinded by the Light
TikTok post — 2025-12-09 Blinded by the Light: Trees are fascinating creations that live in silence through shadow and light. Both day and night, standing as tall as their roots allow. They anchor themselves into the soil of this beautiful earth to both stand strong and nurture their survival. A sunny winter morning is one of the brightest sights to witness and it takes my breath away everytime. It is a big old hug from mother nature that is as real as it is warm. So a photo that combines two of my favorite things to remind me to dig my roots into solid ground and let the sunlight melt away the snow that has buried me. A simple point, but one that warms my soul like a hot cup of tea. #cptsd #healing #therapyart #transformation #connection

Hindsight
TikTok post — 2025-12-10 Hindsight: Looking back I realize how difficult it was to understand trauma and the effects it has on you. I lived so far separated from my trauma I did not believe I had any. I took a test and I habe trauma from all 5 categories so yeah knowledge is power. #fyp #cptsd #emotionalstability #therapyart #knowledgeispower

Timeless Journey
TikTok post — 2025-12-10 Timeless Journey: This about how impossible it feels like on most days. The solace and solitude that this picture brings me is palpable. Something that I can watch over and over again to torture myself through moments if isolation. The imagery is one of my favorites. I like to imagine the final frontier as my obstacle, not myself. #cptsd #therapyart #fyp #healing #lostinspace

Villafy to Justify
TikTok post — 2025-12-10 Villafy to Justify: Narcissistic tendencies of tend to follow specific patterns. Like how they character assassinate with embellishment every single time you draw the line. Another pattern is how easily they fall into their own traps. Perspective and perception is everything and inclusivity requires us to open up to other viewpoints. #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #outsideperspective #connection

Self Love for Dummies
TikTok post — 2025-12-10 Self Love for Dummies: This little nugget of helpful information is the key that helps me overcome my addictions. Dopamine is my drug of choice but Oxytocin will do just fine. #fyp #chemicals #true addiction

Wires are Crossed
TikTok post — 2025-12-10 Wires are Crossed: Woke up this morning a bit unhinged. A rage in my belly and a tightness in my chest from the dream sequence I endured. It is not easy to capture and communicate this state of mind but here is another attempt. As dark as it may seem it is more of a cry than a scream. I rise again to face the same dragons every morning. #cptsd #therapyart #awakendbyfear #cycleofrage #CapCut

Insight from Inside
TikTok post — 2025-12-11 Insight from Inside: Days like today hurt, but they are a lot better than they used to be from a consequential standpoint. It is getting easier to manage my triggered state, but I am now starting to accept that the tougher the battle, the better. Triggers connect us to what is stuck once we are able to sit in that state and just be. #cptsd #CapCut #healing #therapyart #fyp

The Frightners
TikTok post — 2025-12-11 The Frightners: Shadow work is learning to accept how we feel instead of correcting how we feel. These feelings eventually learn to come and go just like thoughts, or at least that is what I believed. Days like this they linger like a stench of burnt popcorn. #therapyart #fyp #cptsd

Secret Sauce
TikTok post — 2025-12-11 Secret Sauce: True to self is easier said than done when you are the Chameleon boy. I guess underneath it all I really just want to fulfill my purpose. So I try to serve, love, and I listen so that I can get better at all three. #cptsd #therapyart #complextrauma #fyp #CapCut

Lonely at the Top
TikTok post — 2025-12-11 Lonely at the Top: It is a lonely and humbling ascension out of the narcissistic people pleaser realm. It requires a nearly complete overhaul of your relationships and most of them will not survive. Lonely but free.

Objects in the Rear View Mirror
TikTok post — 2025-12-11 Objects in the Rear View Mirror: Definitely circling back to this important step and although it is challenging to read it is far more impossible to do. But it is still true nonetheless so here's hoping to getting better at giving myself grace. #cptsd #therapyart #fyp #healing #safespace

Crayola Tears
TikTok post — 2025-12-12 Crayola Tears: I was fascinated with melting crayons when I was as a kid. It used to entertain the heck out of me making my own hybrids. I pretty much felt like that my whole life. An outsider to the human race but a blend of all its beautiful chaos. Often shamed and ridiculed and even hated for being different, especially when I tried to fit in. #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #complextrauma #healing

Louder than my Silence
TikTok post — 2025-12-12 Louder than my Silence: The out loud part is a work in progress but I am definitely telling my story either way and that is where the healing begins. The catacombs of the man I was I leave behind with gratitude and grace. Thankful that I made it out alive before it was too late. #healing #complextrauma #cptsd #therapyart #fyp

Balance Beam
TikTok post — 2025-12-12 Balance Beam: It is still rather challenging to do this, but I have more and more good moments. I balance this with compassion and even empathy but with boundaries sometimes. Other times, odds are they are getting the fight, not the flight, or fawn or freeze trauma reaction. #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #healing #complextrauma

A Helping Hand
TikTok post — 2025-12-12 A Helping Hand: A moment in time, every single time, this content helps me sit still. That is all it is really for, to distract me and give something to breathe with. #AICreate #cptsd #cptsdawareness #cptsdhealing #fyp

Skin amd Bones
TikTok post — 2025-12-12 Skin amd Bones: Grief is heavy, usually at its worst before an exposure therapy session. Gotta get ready for the next one but I am procrastinating. Afraid to feel and deal with the issues, effects and flashbacks. #fyp #cptsdhealing #therapyart #cptsd #complextrauma

Whole Person Care

Lightmares
TikTok post — 2025-12-12 Lightmares: I have seen a lot of Christmas lights already this year, more than I can absorb so need to get more of the same out on display again. This is more like what goes through my head when I look at Christmas lights. Horrified is the best word for it, makes my heart jump and flutter every time. Eventually enough exposure will settle it, funny I never made that connection until now. #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #complextrauma #exposuretherapy

From Here to Eternity
TikTok post — 2025-12-12 From Here to Eternity: On a day I woke up struggling for peace with this tightness in my chest, I need some exposure to serenity. Imaging the beauty and splendor of an eternity in light gives me just that. Just Breathe. #cptsd #therapyart #cptsdhealing #safespace #fyp

Inside the Symptoms
TikTok post — 2025-12-12 Inside the Symptoms: Welcome to why I have this visceral fear in my body all these years later. Remembering the abuse and exposing myself to the memories brings back the nightmares and the haunting that I feel in my bones. She tore my sould like he tore my flesh and I have been terrified ever since. #fyp #therapyart #cptsdhealing #exposuretherapy #awakendbyfear

Blinded by the Light
TikTok post — 2025-12-12 Blinded by the Light: They say that sunlight is the best disinfectant, hell it will set fire when focused. So if it cant cleanse it will burn and blind. Eclipses are fascinating because although they block out the Sun they can blind us. Just another way that creation testifies to me. #therapyart #cptsdhealing #fyp #eclipse #sunfire

Temporary Insanity
TikTok post — 2025-12-12 Temporary Insanity: This one is just because I need to express my hurt feelings through sarcasm because sometimes a sinister laugh and smile helps let go of that darkness. Yeah everything changes and sometimes that change is Apocalyptic. #fyp #therapyart #cptsd

Exposure to find Closure
TikTok post — 2025-12-12 Exposure to find Closure: This is highly triggering on purpose, but exposing myself to these images helps me process the terror, the pain, the shame and the rage that being forcibly and horribly abused at the age of 6 carries. These images pierce my soul in the same way and help me go back like I need to in order to heal. #exposurether #fyp #cptsd #therapyart #cptsdhealing

Ashes to Ashes
TikTok post — 2025-12-12 Ashes to Ashes: The fire in the sky sees that all my castles are burning. The painful wreckage from before will soon be ashes that help nuture the soil of rebirth. Integration is just up around the bend. #therapyart #cptsd #fyp #eclipse #healing

Faultlines and Flatlines
TikTok post — 2025-12-12 Faultlines and Flatlines: If knowledge helps, then wisdom transforms, but control is not part of the equation with CPTSD. Letting go is, which is nearly impossible when spiraling into a panick attack. The science of it all, in the moments I cant breath, helps me focus on something that helps me to remember to just let go. Dont try to control it or stop the anxiety, both invalidate the reality of what you feel. Sit and feel it, until you recognize it and until then repeat after me: "CPTSD is a physical condition that is not eraseable or deniable." #cptsd #fyp #safespace #cptsdawareness #healing

Heavy Weights
TikTok post — 2025-12-12 Heavy Weights: Its lonely at the top of the world tonight and to quote Tom Petty, "I ain't coming down." I have already destroyed the armor so I am going to have to climb. Take my time and slowly I integrate back into self so I can move on with my life. Heavy is the head and its lonely but its peaceful and healthy. #CapCut #healing #safespace #cptsdawareness #fyp

Stormchasers
TikTok post — 2025-12-12 Stormchasers: There is no denying the diagnosis and accepting it only made it more challenging. It is better but so exhausting to manage. Acceptance is continual so I have to keep walking into the storm. #cptsd #therapyart #fyp #CapCut

Empty Mirrors
TikTok post — 2025-12-13 Empty Mirrors: Our souls are mirrors and it is what we see in the reflection that causes most conflicts. I have lived my life in survival mode and that is essentially doing every thing you can to provide a pleasing and safe image back to people. #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #exposuretherapy #mirrorneverlies

Multiplicity
TikTok post — 2025-12-13 Multiplicity: It really does feel like I am being delusional with this whole parts therapy so this content helps normalize it. The answers are always within and transforming ourselves to create a safe internal family system is the result. #partstherapy #cptsd #CapCut #fyp #therapyart

Universal Equation
TikTok post — 2025-12-13 Universal Equation: We are all born into this life that is temporary and without understanding. We look up and out then we look in and develop our connection to understanding. We fail to realize that we are the answer. We are the words on the pages and a universe to scale is within us. The patterns are the connections that lead the way. #notenoughcoffee #connectedness #fyp #cptsd #CapCut

Somatic Mysteries
TikTok post — 2025-12-13 Somatic Mysteries: The memory our bodies store in cells is a crazy mystery that we are all just now understanding. What I know is these somatic memories trigger my nervous system and emotional flashbacks. This then triggers actual memories in my minds. It can be a smell, a sound, or any of the other senses that trigger the somatic memory. Not sure if therapy will change the complex trauma stored in my body but it will change the way I react to it, already has. #fyp #cptsd #therapyart #healing #somatichealing

Self-Actualization
TikTok post — 2025-12-13 Self-Actualization: Letting go of controlling who I was helped me to finally unmask internally. I then worked on not being my thoughts and started being the thinker. I have spent most of my time doing the work to overcome my inner critic in this last year. It helps to break the hypnosis, which then changes everything else. A work in progress, that is progress. #innercritichealing #cptsd #fyp #therapyart #selfactualization

Journey to the Abyss
TikTok post — 2025-12-13 Journey to the Abyss: Time to go back down to the worst place in my mind. I have to keep exposing the memory of the first time until it doesn't cripple me any more. I just hope I can make it back down there without getting lost and that I can climb back out when I need to. #therapyart #fyp #cptsd #exposuretherapy #sasurvivor🖤

Stages and Phases
TikTok post — 2025-12-14 Stages and Phases: It is definitely a process and it is not linear, but the milestones eventually lead you through the stages of healing and transformation. #cptsd #fyp #exposuretherapy #therapyart #healing

Divine Intervention
TikTok post — 2025-12-14 Divine Intervention: Shedding the parts of me that protected the wounded parts of me. Hiding these wounds was not in the cards and now that I am finally learning to Let them go, I can see the divine working in my life. #healing #therapyart #fyp #partstherapy #divineintervention

TikTok post — 2025-12-14 Perseverance is alive and well in the creation all around us. Some of the most beautiful moments in nature come from disasters. It follows the theme and helps me believe that in this life if you win you lose. #fyp #therapyart #healing #exposuretherapy #perserverance

Time Bandits
TikTok post — 2025-12-14 Time Bandits: I have always felt alone and alien, never fit in anywhere. Funny thing is that is really common for CPTSD. I hear a different time, a different rhythm altogether. Trauma changes our frequencies, living in survival mode blurs time and before you know it 44 years has gone by. #therapyart #fyp #cptsd #survivalmode #healing

Time Travel
TikTok post — 2025-12-14 Time Travel: Our triggers are portals, opportunities for us to go back in time and remember why we are wounded. That is how we learn to deal with and heal our triggers. I have to travel across the universe using wormholes to go back to the source of my triggers. It is one of the ways I separate wolf from man. #fyp #therapyart #healing #cptsd #divineintervention

Intimacy is a black balloon, a difficult curse to live with. I am
TikTok post — 2025-12-14 Intimacy is a black balloon, a difficult curse to live with. I am sure the more I heal the more I will feel the longing for a healthy connection. It is the gift that made all the difference, win or lose it will be everything I need as long as I can finally love myself. #learningtolove #cptsd #healing #therapyart #fyp

TikTok post — 2025-12-14 Rent Free: Just a brief pause to help me shake it off, these videos help but sometimes ww just need to breathe. This helps me move and the colors are soothing, beauty in darkness always seems to settle the soul. Just enjoy the beat, count the sheep. #healing #therapyart #fyp #cptsd #safespace

Roll Up my Sleeves
TikTok post — 2025-12-15 Roll Up my Sleeves: A key part of my integration phase will be getting back into a routine. It is impossible while going through exposure therapy but that is temporary. The winning formula is the same so therapy gets you ready to integrate. #perserverance #healing #therapyart #roadmap #fyp

Healing in Colors
TikTok post — 2025-12-15 Healing in Colors: There is this very foreign and stressful feeling I get after my exposure therapy sessions. A more intense version of what I feel after making content and posting. It is a joy unlike anything I can understand as a man. But as a father I get it, my inner child is happy. I guess we really do carry our parts about with us. Either way, I have felt joy now by telling my story. Piece by piece, page by page, video after video. This content was created by my inner child who is no longer silent. #fyp #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #therapyart #healing

Hallowed be thy Name
TikTok post — 2025-12-15 Hallowed be thy Name: I have always struggled to name what died that day he first forced his way with me. I grieve that moment more painfully than any of the others. My scream was not heard and my little 6 year old body was not saved from that horrible monster who tore into me with no mercy. That monster mutilated my innocence, my identity, and my free will nkt just my body. It will always be my horror story to tell, so I try to do it well. This content gives me comfort, a warm light in the darkness if my memories. #therapyart #sasurvivor🖤 #cptsd #fyp #exposuretherapy

I have tried my whole life not to hurt people but I have hurt the
TikTok post — 2025-12-15 I have tried my whole life not to hurt people but I have hurt the ones I love the most. Intentions pave the road to hell so not meaning to hurt them doesn't really matter. It helps prove your heart but actions, especially words, cannot be taken back. Not becoming a monster is only half the battle. Intimacy requires me not to hurtful, which requires me to be defenseless. #fyp #healing #cptsd #therapyart

Labyrinth
TikTok post — 2025-12-15 Labyrinth: A spiral inward, continously diving into the depths of my soul. Each iteration gaining more depth and wisdom as I peel back the layers. It is an interesting metaphor, if I zoom in I can see the monsters. #therapyart #cptsd #fyp #exposuretherapy #healing

Eye of the Beholder
TikTok post — 2025-12-15 Eye of the Beholder: What we see is a gift from God, one photon at a time. We can't always believe what we see but we can always enjoy it nonetheless. This image is how I feel my life changed all those years ago. As if I was in a parallel dimension that changed its axis. A marvelous celestial metaphor to help me believe that their will be purpose for my suffering. #therapyart #fyp #cptsd #divineintervention #sasurvivor🖤

Starlight Starbright
TikTok post — 2025-12-15 Starlight Starbright: Some images to inspire me to look up and listen. That is a great way to lose an hour, eyes wide open. meditation with the stars. The frequencies alone are hypnotic, let alone the connection to something bigger then all of us. #healing #exposuretherapy #healing #fyp #cptsd

Old Habits
TikTok post — 2025-12-16 Old Habits: Straight to the point with this one as I have a much longer list of people I used to know that the list of people I talk to. I learned early on to shut the power off for safety but as I got older I learned that it is how I protect my peace. #cptsd #fyp #therapyart #survivalmode #safespace

Real Ascension
TikTok post — 2025-12-16 Real Ascension: I have a lot of content that uses imagery to share my journey of Ascension. They either show or imply a destination of light or paradise or peace. If I am being honest thought, it really feels more like this content most of the time. I believe in something better but am preparing myself for disappointment. #therapyart #fyp #cptsd #survivalmode #exposuretherapy

Moonlight Sonata
TikTok post — 2025-12-16 Moonlight Sonata: I have a love-hate relationship with the moon. It is beautiful and I love the imagery of it. I also love its purpose, but when it comes to the effect it has in me, that is where the hate comes in. I dont know what I did to the Moon, but man, it puts me in a dark place. Or maybe I just connect to the moon when I am in a dark place. It is my light in the dark that I love to hate. #therapyart #cptsd #healing #fyp #exposuretherapy

Healing Energy
TikTok post — 2025-12-16 Healing Energy: It is weird to say because of my ego but I am able to give myself the nurturing love I needed to heal from the abuse. It took having to help one of my own before I learned how but it was pretty much automatic after that. The abandonment is the worst part, those wounds are only healed with a nurturing, comforting love. I guess I can say that I am becoming capable of such a gift. #dadreflex #therapyart #cptsd #selflove #healing

Living with CPTSD
TikTok post — 2025-12-17 Living with CPTSD: The wounds that I carry are a nightmare in itself. Learning to tame the beast that my wounds became, is a nightmare inside the nightmare. But then the CPTSD effects from the years of abandoning those wounds created a man inside the monster instead of the other way around. The magic answer, the fix it all solution is what this content ends on. But it like a journey to Mordor to change. #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #triggerwarning #CapCut

Subliminal Message
TikTok post — 2025-12-17 Subliminal Message: I am hoping that the more I watch this content the more the images show up when I meditate.

Musical tastes have changed a bit these days, this song is a hypnotic gem that is far from my Spotify Playlist. The colors and the melody really soothe and help me let go of control. #fyp #cptsd #therapyart #healing #anxietyattack

Torture to Heal
TikTok post — 2025-12-17 Torture to Heal: Imagery to evoke a response is an understatement with this one. I hope to share the pain and the struggle physically reading this testimony in therapy over and over again. #triggeredstate #therapyart #cptsd #fyp #sasurvivor🖤

Weight in my Chest
TikTok post — 2025-12-17 Weight in my Chest: This is such a great way to express the way it feels in my chest as the anxiety chokes and paralyzes me. The intensity has definitely gone up past 10 with these exposure therapy sessions. One day at a time. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right? #sasurvivor🖤 #fyp #cptsd #therapyart #triggerwarning

Purple Sunset
TikTok post — 2025-12-17 Purple Sunset: Going purple for all my SA Surviors and CPTSD warriors because all abuse, especially SA, damages us in irreversible and often permanent ways. So a beautifully painful melody and lyrics to go with a filtered sunset to help us breathe through the pain. It hurts, it changes our entire world and destroys our innocence and identity. Child or Adult so lets just stop the abuse already. #stoptheabuse❤️ #sasurvivor🖤 #cptsd #therapyart #healing

The Struggle is Real
TikTok post — 2025-12-18 The Struggle is Real: One of these days I will be able to finally meditate in a way that transcends.

These tips and tricks I am trying and they are helping as I am lasting longer in the silence even with the fear. #cptsd #healing #learningtomeditate #meditation #fyp

Sharing is Caring

Broken Wings
TikTok post — 2025-12-19 Broken Wings: Learning to fly with broken wings, a great metaphor for self abandonment. It is a hopeless battle most days with this CPTSD because it is how we survive. Need to take the time to heal these broken wings so I am grounded until then. #healing #therapyart #selfabandonment #cptsd #fyp

Dangerous
TikTok post — 2025-12-19 Dangerous: I am known for being a really nice person that becomes quite the problem if you cross me. If you betray me or stab me in the back I simply move on, dont care who you are. I killed my people pleaser and I am happy to be alone because I am done living misunderstood. I believe in kindness and compassion so I will finally protect my ability to have both. I will be dangerous instead of anonymous. #fyp #cptsd #therapyart #boundaries #accountabilityandgrace

Dimensions
TikTok post — 2025-12-19 Dimensions: Understanding the world from a state of perspective versus perception. In order to gain dimension and see reality for what it is. Duality, is a phantasmical concept at first, but once you see it why stop at two? #fyp #therapyart #triggeredstate #duality #dimensions

Systems Theory (Kinda)
TikTok post — 2025-12-20 Systems Theory (Kinda): The system in play here is nothing short of complex, so yeah, triggers are a compounding threat. Stressors, lack of sleep, medication issues are all factors that add to the triggers until you collapse and you feel like your dancing a jig with the devil himself. It's a hopeless and endless feeling that we have to develop a system to overcome. #fyp #healing #cptsd #healingjourney #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive

Getting Back Up
TikTok post — 2025-12-20 Getting Back Up: Needing some motivation this morning as the weight on my chest is heavy this morning. Need to fight the hopelessness and intrusive thoughts that can get me to spiral down the rabbit hole of despair. Remembering that our suffering is what strengthens us doesnt usually help but validating the darkness that it brings in this video does. It is true either way but when the emotions are dark and negative it is like stoking a dying fire. #cptsd #therapyart #healing #fyp #CapCut

A Moment of Peace

Quiet Time
TikTok post — 2025-12-20 Quiet Time: This is where my inner child went to hide and play for all these years. A familiar haunting that is as safe as it is lonely. It is a place full of grief, shame and fear. But the boy still loves just with a haunting melody. #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #survivor #CapCut

Pattern Recognition
TikTok post — 2025-12-20 Pattern Recognition: Most days it is a curse and at times it has bent my reality. I am learning how to trust the superpower but only as I am able to decrease the intesity of my triggered state. 30 mintues of somatic therapy is usually what it takes, which is some serious progress. #healing #cptsd #therapyart #patternrecognition #CapCut

Connect to Self
TikTok post — 2025-12-20 Connect to Self: The complicated process of reconnecting the parts of you, is a piece by piece project. I am learning though it starts by understanding how they are connected through my trauma response and then resetting that connection. It takes time, accountability and grace. #self #cptsd #therapyart #healing #CapCut

TikTok post — 2025-12-21 Patience is a Virtue: Having a little fun with myself with this content. I need to hang in there to understand my journey over these last 14 months of trauma therapy and meds. It was really empty and lonely at first, but then I felt safe enough to make it through to processing. Integration should be just beyond the horizon but for now I will just breathe under heaven's sky. #trauma #healing #healing #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive #fyp

No Holds Barred
TikTok post — 2025-12-21 No Holds Barred: I have had plenty of time for acceptance, at least of the diagnosis. Accepting that fear is what stands in my way is worse on my blood pressure than on my ego. What stands on the other side of fear is represented well by the whale equivalent of a middle finger. #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #conquoryourfear #healingjourney🖤

Divine Intervention
TikTok post — 2025-12-21 Divine Intervention: I was driving the other day when this song came on. It hit me like a wave of grief normally would, except this was warm and safe. It was as if God was singing it to me themself. Like a Heavenly Father and Mother letting me know they love me while I am away from them in this free will nightmare of an earthly life. To capture this moment of warmth and divine energy I put the song to the most beautiful creation I have witnessed in person. If you have taken the Road to Hana than you know how breathtaking this waterfall truly is in person. #angelssing #CapCut #fyp #healing #therapyart

Self is the Operative Word
TikTok post — 2025-12-22 Self is the Operative Word: This healing journey from a life of suffering to a life of love is all about the self. But it is not something we can do alone, as hard as we try at best we will always be walking that razors edge. I have gained balance and strength through trauma therapy and I am starting to enjoy the view from out here. Healing out loud is a big step in my journey that I would have never taken if it wasnt for the courage of others like me that did and my therapist. #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive #selfhealing #growthjourney #cptsd #fyp

TikTok post — 2025-12-23 Sometimes When You Lose you Win: There are challenges with normal, common, everyday things and cptsd. Especially, when it stems from both sexual and religious trauma. The reality of one versus the other though was enough to push me onto my own spiritual path. I have looked at almost every religion and spiritual belief system. Assessed them like the trained analyst that I am. I eventually found my truth and that was to walk this lonely road where it can be just them and me. Fellowship is everywhere and I love being able to enjoy it with everyone. #healing #fyp #cptsd #BeCouragous #religioustrauma

Say the Quiet Part Out Loud
TikTok post — 2025-12-24 Say the Quiet Part Out Loud: For all of my life, I have shamed myself for the effect the abuse had on my faith. It is impossible to deny this shadow, but it is not one that I can get rid of on my own. I have fought like hell over the years to protect and treasure the small piece of the mustard seed that remained. God is the only way it is still there, and love is the only reason why it is still alive. #cptsd #fyp #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive #SelfImprovement #mindset

The Price is Right
TikTok post — 2025-12-24 The Price is Right: Been living with this anxiety my whole life pretty much, since 6 years old. I wish I would have pain attention to it and the risks a heck of a lot sooner. What does anxiety cost and how does it collect? For me, like so many others, it has resulted in problem list of health conditions as long as Santa's list. It has also impacted every relationship I have ever had. #mindset #SelfImprovement #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive #fyp #cptsd

Breakdowns and Breakups
TikTok post — 2025-12-24 Breakdowns and Breakups: Figured I would start with synonyms in title to help clarify my statement here. Growth is painful and never easy or expected and planned for. Not real growth becomes that only comes from suffering. So today I am grateful for all the horribly painful breakthroughs these last 5 years. #cptsd #fyp #mindset #selfimprovement ##TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive

Keep it Simple Son
TikTok post — 2025-12-24 Keep it Simple Son: The words sting a bit, but it makes a whole lot of sense when your read them. I could have used this in my teen years when I would still occasionally see my abuser. But I never did really think about trying to understand why he hurt me. Guess I never really cared, I have always been too busy dying from the poison cause there was no antidote. So a gentle reminder to focus on the poison not the snake. #fyp #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive #selfimprovement #mindset #sasurvivor🖤

Eternal Struggle
TikTok post — 2025-12-25 Eternal Struggle: For me there has always been the other side of the coin. Duality is easy for me to get because it has always been there. Doesn't help, it is still hell but I just hope one day I will be able to balance. #mindset #selfimprovement #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive #fyp #cptsd

It was horrible and B rated at best but it was the first time I had ever seen Christmas tainted with evil. Since that was how I felt my life was it was a pretty funny movie to me. I like this content because it makes me feel safe when I am not feeling very safe.

Belly of the Beast
TikTok post — 2025-12-26 Belly of the Beast: I am to the point in my healing journey from SA as a kid that I have to authentically face myself with the shame adult me carries. It is not easy to understand, but simple to say, kids who are abused have no idea the shame they will carry until they grow up and somewhat figure themselves out se&ually. Being a he¥er0se&ual male who was groomed and molested by a man for 2 years creates the shame I am looking at now. It is almost a hom0ph0bic rage until I realize that it is my fear and avoidance of feeling ashamed that creates the rage. What happened to me was not my fault and does not define me, especially my se&ual identity. Now, those are words that are easy to say but difficult to believe until you are much older. At 50, I know that to be true but still struggle to refrain from judging myself like I was some sort of Catholic priest or something. Truth defeats the homophobia but what stops the judgement stemming from my religious trauma being raised Mormon? Transparency and accountablity with love and compassion. Accepting the fact that I was just a kid and biology is biology. What happened to me does not define me at all, just means I knew what felt good physically long before I knew what felt good spiritually and emotionally for me. As I trigger writing this I will step through that portal because someone else may be struggling. I went through very difficult, embarrassing and shame triggering experiences all the way through my divorce and well into my current marriage of 22 years, until I finally found my identity. It is a nightmare of a journey, especially the parts you walk alone. Whatever your identity is, love yourself. You wont be happy or able to overcome the shame addiction until you do. #therapyart #CapCut #healing #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤

CPTSD Mindset
TikTok post — 2025-12-27 CPTSD Mindset: Accepting the diagnosis is the only way because there is a complex process for healing that has to be followed. It took me 2 and a half years of crashing and burning before I accepted the diagnosis. Let alone the 40 years of suffering in silence before being diagnosed. I make this post loud and proud for anyone and everyone who is suffering with this as well. There are probably still more that are living undiagnosed that are not. So if this content hits hard, know that you are not broken and you are not alone. Trust the diagnosis and the healing process. #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive #mindsetchange #selfimprovement #fyp #cptsd

Milemarker 13
TikTok post — 2025-12-27 Milemarker 13: I faced the shame as directly as I knew how, with authenticity and compassion. I wrote out a new version of the rape for reading in therapy. This time I was challenged to let my wounded inner child write it. I wrote it and now I need to read it in my next session. It is a monumental achievement so I celebrate it celestially. #CapCut #AICreate #cptsd #therapyworks #wellness

Driving in Reverse
TikTok post — 2025-12-27 Driving in Reverse: More backwards thinking so I am seriously questioning which dimension I am in. Go backwards to go forward. Go down to go up and suffer to heal. Now we can't control the outcome and instead have to just focus on being our best self and let the universe provide. Before this caterpillar can finish dying I have to adopt this new mindset. I am accepting enough to try and it is working so I am more of a believer over time. I hope as I dive deeper into IFS it helps me adopt this new mindset into my belief system. #mindset #believeinyourself #fyp #cptsd #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Judgement Day
TikTok post — 2025-12-27 Judgement Day: In order to climb up the next step of my healing journey I had to face the Judge. This part of myself that shames me and degrades me more than anyone ever could. He is the other side of a conscious and I have to confess his existence to separate him from my Self. #selflove #mindfulness #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive #cptsd #fyp

Fighting to Exhale

Inner Child Support
TikTok post — 2025-12-28 Inner Child Support: Capturing this conflict between my parts and my inner child. I am trying to release this shame but I have hated myself for so long that all my parts align in our hatred for the 6 year old boy who let that man hurt us. It is going to take some time but it starts with no longer shaming him. It was not his fault, and that is not who we are. #innerchild #traumarecovery #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive #fyp #CapCut

my Self
TikTok post — 2025-12-28 my Self: An IFS approach to inspire my Self love as I continue to realize the freedom it brings. It could be the releasing of shame that is also motivating this love but either way I am finally starting to love that man in the mirror. #AICreate #selflove #mindfulness #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive #cptsd

Running Down a Dream
TikTok post — 2025-12-28 Running Down a Dream: I have lived with nightmares for so long now, that dreaming is something my mind protects me from automatically. I am often spending my mornings trying to reset a triggered nervous system while also trying to piece together the nightmare(s) that I had like some early childhood memory. Even though I barely remember the dreams, I am triggered just the same so it doesn't work. It is like amnesia and it really messes with me. I am learning how to dream with my eyes wide open through these videos as this is the only way for me to control and remember them. The quote is a subliminal message aimed at my fear like a fire extinguisher for added protection. #deepquotes #hardhitting #cptsd #therapyart #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Stepping Stones
TikTok post — 2025-12-28 Stepping Stones: It was not easy accepting that I really was my own worst enemy even though I have heard it my entire life. There have been so many breadcrumbs of understanding and wisdom that I have scrolled through in this last year or so that helped me accept my cptsd that I can now lay them out like stepping stones to help me deepen my understanding. This is a trinity to guide me to accountability through awareness, understanding and acceptance. #hardhitting #mindset #cptsd #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Follow the Light
TikTok post — 2025-12-29 Follow the Light: About this time 4 years ago, my family and I were all sick with Covid and I messed up my back. Worse than that, we were all emotionally fried from the trauma and the therapy and the legal battles let alone the fear that plagued 2021 for us. We also had hellatious rain and wind storms, then a part of a tree came crashing down on our roof and broke our heater exhaust pipe. The storms turned to snow and we spent the next week in our living room by the fireplace and had a few space heaters going until we lost power from the storms. Before you know it, trees were coming down everywhere up here and people lost their homes and cars. So a nightmare for 10 days while recovering from Covid and storm damage, which is how I hurt my back. A long story to remember why after 44 years I finally broke and what it took to break through the wall. A burning bush would have been less painful but either way I heard the call and saw the light. I have slowly been following it ever since and finishing the job of tearing down the walls inside protecting my wounded inner child. I end this year with a new place for him to live. A place where he can just be a kid and when he remembers I can comfort and heal him, through the grace of God. #healingjourney #selfdiscovery #cptsd #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Calling a Spade a Spade
TikTok post — 2025-12-30 Calling a Spade a Spade: Accountability is not easy but necessary with this condition. The flashbacks lead to rage, without a single drop of awareness so to be accountable is the first step. The next 10,000 are humiliating and transformative. One day, one step at a time. #cptsd #healing #healingjourney #fyp #selfdiscovery

Slow and Steady
TikTok post — 2025-12-30 Slow and Steady: There are so many great belief systems out there and there is something I like about most of them. I love to overlay them like these two pictures, a message from astrology with an image of creation that share the same message with different dimension. Both of these images carry a reminder to slow down and process. As ready as I think I am for integration I won't get there if I don't continue to process all this pain. #healingjourney #selfdiscovery #cptsd #natureheals #fyp

Hide and Go Seek
TikTok post — 2025-12-30 Hide and Go Seek: When I was a kid I loved to go hide in the darkest or scariest places. I felt safer in the sewer or the abandoned house than I did at home. Crazy thing is that it was a different type of fear, it is more the appearance of terror. Once you know the evil that hides in the privacy of the American dream, ghost stories are just stories #cptsd #therapyart #sadness #hardhitting #fyp

Love Will Find a Way
TikTok post — 2025-12-30 Love Will Find a Way: The healing process for CPTSD is transformational and with my core belief that God is love, faith is what gets you there. That faith fosters self-love, which in turn leads to facing your wounds head on. I used to call them my demons, because of the fight that developed in me. Now I recognize all the shame, pain and fear that created them and realize that I am just wounded, not a monster or crazy or broken. Self-Love through a higher power is what this content inspires in me. #fyp #therapyart #healing #selfdiscovery #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Dancing With Myself
TikTok post — 2025-12-30 Dancing With Myself: Just another pause for the cause, a moment of zen and a break from reality. This one is a bit hypnotic and soothing, like so many grooves from this band (one of my favorites). Learning to dance is a milestone along this journey to help me connect. I have a mountain of fear to work through first but then I should be able to face the fear that keeps me from dancing. This will help me everytime to let go a little more and just dance. #selfdiscovery #healing #therapyart #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Catch and Release
TikTok post — 2025-12-30 Catch and Release: I am the villian in quite a few stories out there due to repeated struggles in relationships. My professional life suffers probably the most because how often people betray you. I have spent my whole adult life not understanding why I rage over betrayal and at least in my 50th year I learned why. My war is with my abusers, not the countless heartless people who stepped on me to get where they are going. I release this sensitivity as my wounds are starting to heal so that people cannot use this weakness against me any more. #healing #selfdiscovery #cptsd #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Still, Small Voice
TikTok post — 2025-12-30 Still, Small Voice: I have had some of the closest moments with God when I needed them the most. But they have never been anything more than the echo of a still small voice. Just like this Song. God singing to me to remind me that love is eternal and unconditional, as long as I follow where love leads. The hard part is knowing what is love but no matter how many times I get it wrong, mercy and grace are always there for me and is how God continues to help me back up. ##selflove #positivity #healing #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Ragebaiting
TikTok post — 2025-12-30 Ragebaiting: It is only a thing when someone holds you accountable for losing your temper with them but is not responsible for provoking you. Now, this is a lot different than getting triggered and losing your shit in an unprovoked manner or abuse because there is no provoking that rage. But the difference between the two is really hard to see with the ones we love the most. The funny thing is you can very easily overcome rage baiting by not engaging. You can also overcome being a monster when you are triggered through awareness and healing. So either way, all it takes is accountability, boundaries, and grace and Ragebaiting is no longer a thing. #cptsd #awareness #motivation #healing #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Another Perspective
TikTok post — 2025-12-30 Another Perspective: Disclaimer: This is written from me to me, it is not a universal message. It is a reminder to me as it has been more than 40 years with hate in my heart and I am leaving it in 2025. There is an awesome TED talk out there callled Redefining Love: Boundaries, Accountability and Gracre that provides one of the best POV's yet. This awesome woman giving the talk shares a belief that she developed in healing that nothing about failing relationships are one sided. Most people that are called narcissistic are just not being accountable. Most of them can easily change through humility and grace. The challenge is though, that accountability has to be returned to mend the relationship. Boundaries crossed leads to incredibly abusive behavior in both men and women. To hate them, to label them, is to dehumanize them and never heals the pain. Accountability is avoided more and more these days, we would rather blame and clap back instead of be compassionate to someone we are fighting with. To love me requires the same as what is required of me: Boundaries, Accountability and Grace. Hate me if you want, shame and blame me till your blue in the face. I will simply walk away and let you slam me all you want. It will not erase your accountability or my grace. Hate is NEVER justisifed or healthy, but it is as real as any other secondary emotion. What lies underneath is fear and shame and no amount of hate will heal those wounds. So as a SA survivor and someone who has a history of toxic relationships, abuse requires healing which requires growth. As hard as it is and despite the many years it takes to heal, it won't happen until we can let go of the secondary emotions and process the fear and shame underneath. I say to you with all the love that I have, lets call a Spade a Spade without hating them because we are all capable of such evil. It will make our world a better place, instead of the constant battle of polarity that we are stuck in. #healingjourney #cptsd #selfdiscovery #motivation #hardhitting

Complex Healing Journey
TikTok post — 2025-12-31 Complex Healing Journey: This content is a reflection of the journey so far, a review of the milestones if you will. The tenacity helped me to keep trying, so that led to step 1. The next part was all about grounding myself with my therapist, creating an environment of safety and then trust. I am blessed with an angel of a therapist who has helped me provide a safe way to free my deeply wounded inner child. Poor kid has been locked up for a very long time. I am proud of him. He made it through to brighter days, finally. We now get to continue on together, sending more healing energy out into the world with each day. #healingjourney #cptsd #selfdiscovery #innerchildhealing #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Peace of Mind

Quantam Leap
TikTok post — 2026-01-01 Quantam Leap: It has been a series of storms over the last few years that finally broke me open. I can reflect and see the chess pieces moving and how the rocks were slowly being removed from the cave-ins long before the storms. Using my pattern recognition ability when reflecting, it is easy to see the love of God working to help ME dig myself out. Despite the pain and suffering, I am able to understand the cost of free agency. Maybe it is because of the trauma or the fact that it is the only way I maintain hope. But I get it. It is a fundamental law of the universe and how we are limitless and eternal. The cost sucks when you go through horrible repeated abuse, but there is a love that exists that is helping me to turn that suffering into love through my free agency. I choose to heal and love. To serve and to protect and help others by sharing my story. I have boundaries, accountability, and grace to guide my way so I dont really need to be blinded by the light to see anymore. #AICreate #HealingJourney #selfdiscovery #cptsd #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Comfortably Numb
TikTok post — 2026-01-01 Comfortably Numb: Self medicating is all to common for people with severe trauma, especially when experienced in early childhood. No one survives the abuse without something for the pain. There is no medicinal cure, the source of the pain requires healing through self-love. It takes a higher power to get there, because addiction is a symptom of abandoning Self. #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #hardhitting #awareness #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Now it ain't pretty but I can isolate and spend time with that kid that was abused and abandoned until they pass. #cptsd #innerchildhealing #healingjourney #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

TikTok post — 2026-01-02 Light of Day: If you have seen the movie, then you will get the tie-in. If not this message hopefully resonates just the same. My pursuit is unstoppable and relentless, just like in the movie. So yeah I am going to die trying to simply align with my purpose in this life, which I cannot do without healing my trauma wounds. Starting Trauma therapy was a game changer and I have support to match this relentless commitment to myself to overcome the evil that has plagued my life. So yeah this is my fight song. Couple that with the reminders of my next stepping stones to integration and Vegas Odds are in my favor going into the new year. #healingjourney #motivation #awareness #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Tolerance is not Ignorance
TikTok post — 2026-01-02 Tolerance is not Ignorance: As a complex trauma survivor, I have to learn how to grow through healing the wounds I live with. One of the biggest challenges I have with my high pain and suffering tolerance is I end up stuck and drowning because I can handle it. It is the inverse of a super power and is something I need to overcome through boundaries. #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive #selfimprovement #growthmindset #innerstrength #resilience

Stress Test
TikTok post — 2026-01-02 Stress Test: Had the worst panic attack this morning while doing an Echo Stress test. The shortness of breath triggered a panic in every cell of my body, and I could not calm down or catch my breath. When the fear hits me that hard, if leaves a sadness and hopelessness that sits like a stormy day. So this is not one of my uplifting posts, it is a vent session to help calm my nervous system by releasing the shame and sadness hopefully. I dont post much about it but I took a trauma test a while back and I have experienced and survived all the types of trauma that they listed on the test. Guess I need to dive into my Medical trauma a bit more. 😂😪🙃 #fyp #therapyart #hardhitting #mindfullness #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Reverb with Distortion
TikTok post — 2026-01-02 Reverb with Distortion: Complex PTSD is painful, especially when triggered into a full blown panic attack. I was doing ok until the shortness of breath and that lasted all of 20 seconds before my entire body panicked. It took me a good 10 minutes to catch my breath, and as I did, I started to ground myself. I hustled out of there and to my car, almost didn't make it, but the tears just started falling once I was safe in the car. The reverb and distortion sitting here 6 hours later is no joke. It feels alot like static electricity from the inside out. Focusing to type is so difficult and I am so tired, how the hell did I survive this hell for this long? Emotionally I am handling the inner critic well but not the hopelessness and fear of why I triggered that bad. On the upside, there was NO collateral damage and my test results are good. The Heart is sound at least.FML #CapCut #triggeredstate #cptsd #panicattack #fyp

Anxious Attached
TikTok post — 2026-01-03 Anxious Attached: Lovebombing is a trauma response that finally makes sense. I have spent years of my life stuck in that trauma response with pretty much every woman I have ever loved. Funny thing is I used to think I was just a hopeless romantic and very passionate. That was definitely a web of lies hiding my obsessive compulsion to be the perfect husband and boyfriend in past relationships. I do have a romantic side and I love now with an awareness and intention instead of with fear and protection. That doesn't mean that true love wont save me, it just has to say that true love needs to be with Self. Without that I am incapable of true love for anyone or anything else. #growthmindset #selfimprovement #spiritualawakening #mindfullness #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Worlds Apart
TikTok post — 2026-01-03 Worlds Apart: I thought I was heading into the Abyss but changed direction and starting heading into the son. I didn't think she would stay or that we would make it, I was all alone anyways as the attachment wound was over. I still don't know on most days if we are going to make it. There is a lot more awakening going on and she may be turning away from the Abyss. Hopefully she is heading my way. #spiritualawakening #cptsd #therapyart #selfdiscovery #fyp

New Found Glory
TikTok post — 2026-01-03 New Found Glory: Despite the trend of justifying hate through protecting your peace, I am going to throw some content in the mix that will help me when I need to defend and protect. Instead if living in this mode, I reserve it for when I need it. I have never really been one to say much, I prefer action over words and silence over choas. We all need reminders and encouragement of our strength when someone is trying to knock us down so this is one for me. It includes a spiritual context to also remind me to stay true to myself in the process: accountability, boundaries, and grace. Maybe this is why people don't like my boundaries. #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #spiritualawakening #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Guiding Light
TikTok post — 2026-01-03 Guiding Light: A bit of a cheat sheet or roadmap to help with triggers. The cPTSD reactions in my brain make it really difficult to think clearly and see connections, which is normally a superpower. So when I am still in the kill zone of my triggered state, I need breadcrumbs like this to guide my way back to the land of rational fear. #healingjourney #growthmindset #selfimprovement #cptsd #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Contents Under Pressue
TikTok post — 2026-01-03 Contents Under Pressue: There are parts of me that are definitely darker and scarier than the others. Adolescent, teenage, young adult me was hell on wheels. Not fearless, more like he had a death wish. He also had a way of facing fear in the face and laughing that I have forgotten. How to stay human yet able to face the fear that is trapped in my body will be a transformation much like this content. The dragon will burn and the wizard will use our superpowers to no end. These parts of me come out when provoked, which is whenever I feel overpowered, outsmarted, manipulated and attacked. I am getting better at quietly becoming who I need to be without burning down the whole village. But, this is my warning content to myself that I need to be the master of my parts or I will let us down and our world is going to burn. #growthmindset #healingjourney #therapyart #cptsd #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Gravitational Pull
TikTok post — 2026-01-04 Gravitational Pull: No more repeated relationships, the Veil has been breached finally. Cool thing is there might be some eventual alignment with our planetary systems in the near future. Star alignment is clear for me, my journey continues into the depths of the three phases. I have 6 new ones to complete in parallel through IFS so I know my trajectory for now. Hers is shifting quickly and I am hopeful she is at least turned towards light, she could have at least one eye open too. It is nearly impossible and definitely improbable for middle aged adults to accept and heal from complext childhood trauma. Especially if it is more manipulation and emotional abuse by both parents. Even the more serious forms of abuse are tough but no one can handle the guilt of shaming your parents when it was "not that bad" or they were just "struggling single parents. At least not until we know we have unresolved trauma. Does that mean that we are still meant for each other? Or did we just trauma bond without even knowing it and created a space for us to fight for protection and safety the last 22 1/2 years. Time will tell, I know how I feel and why now, so I await with an open heart. Awareness and healing work with my anxious attachment style changed the game for me. Right now, I can only pray she sees the wound underneath her avoidance attachment style. Instead, though, I just pray for her peace and healing no matter what that means. I see her wounded little abandoned self as clearly as I see my own, and my heart breaks for her and me both. #innerchildhealing #healingjourney #coregulate #cptsd #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Daily Intention
TikTok post — 2026-01-04 Daily Intention: I have been really focused on setting a daily intention for some time now. I am working it into my daily check-in process where I set my priorities, identify something I am grateful for, read a scripture, say a prayer, and then set my intention for the day. Today I work in reverse because this intention is needed to get me up and able to face my day. #fyp #selfcare #awareness #healingjourney #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

TikTok post — 2026-01-05 Frickin Laser Beam: Sometimes you have set your world on fire, beat em to the punch. I will wait until all the crows are gone at least. That is how intense it feels once I am laser focused on something someone said that hurt my feelings. I can get so heated that I will ignite and burn anything or anyone within a 50 yard radius. The abuse that gets triggered is not easy to explain but for anyone who knows, it is better to just leave us alone. There are quite a few of these triggers, I made a list and have been working on them one by one. Digging all the way down to the root core wound whenever possible. Tonight I chose to sit and make this video instead of focusing in on the situation that triggers me. Quiet, lonely and peaceful just like I need it. #selfawareness #AICreate #healingjourney #cptsd #fyp

TikTok post — 2026-01-06 Never Alone: This one is automatically and immediately one my favorites. I love so much about this one, starting with the colors. I went back and forth on multicolor or just enhancing the original green and happy where it landed. This is a video for me in the loenly times, they are far and few between now as I really like being alone but when I feel emotionally detached, disconnected or indifferent with the outside world I feel a whole new level of lonely. No need though, we are never alone really. There is so much more beyond us and our microscopic view of life as we know it, let alone the next one. So I will reach out and connect to something way bigger than me when I am lost and alone. Like my TikTok community that is growing like crazy. #fyp #HealingJourney #mindfullness #SelfCare #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Need a Lyft? I came across a beautiful scripture and message today
TikTok post — 2026-01-06 Need a Lyft? I came across a beautiful scripture and message today from someone I am blessed to get to fellowship with periodically. She has a strong and very bright faith that is learned through struggle and pain. She is insanely positive yet has a depth to her perception that only trauma based superpowers could create. Anyways her message is universal and rooted in love and it hit me like a Willy Wonka Fuzzy Lifiting drink this morning so I am capturing the blessing like lighting in a bottle. #fyp #mindfullness #HealingJourney #hope #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

What's Under the Hood? A look inside my world from my point of view.
TikTok post — 2026-01-06 What's Under the Hood? A look inside my world from my point of view. I remember when this song came out, I wasn't that old but wise beyond my years because I loved this song, video and artist. Still do, he has a very unique way of senquencing these simple on their own but complex when connected together artistic ideas that represented the lack of authenticity in society. At least, that is how I interpret him as an artist. Anyways, I added the delay effect intentionally as it aligns with the music in a nails on the chalkboard kind of way. That is my pov, slightly delayed and distroted but full of syncronicity and more important, harmonies. #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive #AICreate #fyp #petergabriel #healingjourney

Double Entendre
TikTok post — 2026-01-06 Double Entendre: This one is short and sweet and a reminder to myself to work on my relationship with my Mom. For most of my adolescent years I blamed her for not seeing me or even having a second thought about what this Mom told her I was doing to her son. The fact that she just believed her and sent me to my room was a devastating blow to my safety. I never spoke up so how would she know, I was just a troubled kid who didnt know any better I guess. I can't get closer to God or find my peace with anger and blame in my heart against my Mother or his. Hoping that sharing it out loud will be the healing I need to talk to her finally. #healingjourney #fyp #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive #innerchildhealing #sasurvivor🖤

Trust the Process
TikTok post — 2026-01-06 Trust the Process: A great visual on the challenges of working my way through the spiral journey to Aliveness and Love. Sometimes I feel in control of my ability to process and heal and other times I have to go back and start again because I had no idea how deep the wounds were. Other times I get so hurt or frustrated with the process I turn into the dragon out of instinct and protection. Onwards and Upwards is all I can do, one step at a time. #fyp #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive #healingjourney #selfawareness #mindfullness

Trauma Bonding 101

An Honest Introspection
TikTok post — 2026-01-06 An Honest Introspection: Going to be painfully honest with myself here. This is what the road from processing to integration looks like to me right now. How on Earth do I change from the small human that I am to the pillar of strength and symbolism I was created to be? One step, one day, one feeling at a time is how. One single grain of sand at times, especially in the beginning, until I grow into a more efficient way to change. Before I know it I will have much bigger hands to carry millions of grains at once. #fyp #cptsd #selfawareness #HealingJourney #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Panic Somatic

The Mustard Seed

Kill Them With Kindness
TikTok post — 2026-01-07 Kill Them With Kindness: They say that no one can hurt you worse than the really nice people who have been hurt. They are not wrong, especially if that trauma is unresolved. I believe in Kindness more because of my trauma but when triggered I would bite off my own arm let alone anoyone else's if I felt threatened. This awesome twisted bunny represents my abiity to be nice to protect myself #AICreate #fyp #innerchildhealing #HealingJourney #mindfullness

Keep It Simple Son (KISS)

Circling the Drain

The Path to Peace
TikTok post — 2026-01-07 The Path to Peace: This path is lonely and dark at times but to be honest that is how I like it. The visuals help set my expectations when choosing to change my way of thinking from trauma to healing. This is peace, cold and isolated and beautiful. It is not people changing or you changing them, it is no longer caring about catering to perception. To quote Vince Vaugn from Couples Retreat, "I know my truth!" #fyp #HealingJourney #cptsd #selfcare #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Open Minded Fool

Mountain Life
TikTok post — 2026-01-08 Mountain Life: Been living up in the mountains since 2003. We are up at 6200 square ft so we get plenty of snow and fresh air to go with nature all around us. It is a blessing I have been thanking God for the entire time. It brought me closer to God, kept me open to love through the connection I feel to nature. Whether its a deer encounter that is serene and peaceful or a coyote or bear siting that fills me with a fearful respect, I connect and feel home here. Dont get me wrong. I love the beach and could live Aloha, but I would need seclusion and safety, and islands are too small for that brah. #mountainliving #selflove #fyp #dailyinspo #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Filling Time
TikTok post — 2026-01-08 Filling Time: Other side of the coin for a previous post down deep in the list. My profile is my doom scrolling paradise, somewhere in the 100's is a video titled Killing Time. I am learning and feeling a bit more like I am filling the time now. Instead of wasting away, I am existing in a state of restful transformation and I feel like I can not only see and think more clearly, I am developing skills beyond my own imagination. This is an uplifting post but just as lonely as the other. Difference is I really am starting to enjoy myself. #fyp #empowerment #selfgrowth #selfcare #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Truth Be Told
TikTok post — 2026-01-08 Truth Be Told: A good little manual to help put a voice to things I have suffered with as silently as I could my whole life. Or at least as far back as I can remember. This is not an excuse or a way to avoid being accountable. Instead it is exactly that. Being accountable. This is a condition I live with because I was abused as a kid from age 6 to 8 and then nothing more was ever said or done about it. Textbook connection of A to B. I struggled to accept it for a while but I embrace it now. It is a voice for my suffering and a way to finally overcome it once and for all. Why this time you ask? Simple, this time I dont need it to go away, I just need to manage my triggered state and I am getting g really good at that processing part. Only when I have to still but that is the next rung on the ladder. Have a process to process. #fyp #cptsd #selfgrowth #mindfullness #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Paranoid
TikTok post — 2026-01-08 Paranoid: Buckle up for this one. Underneath the hypervigilance is a deeply rooted fear and paranoia. I have felt this way since I can remember. I'm always feeling like there is something going on. I am about to get hurt by someone close to me. It has been at the root of many problems in my life, from trusting people to manic depressive states where I lose my grip a little bit. This content is my way of screaming this paranoia out loud and to sit with it until I understand the fear underneath. #fyp #selfdiscovery #therapyart #cptsd #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Where the Day Takes You

Use Your Illusion
TikTok post — 2026-01-08 Use Your Illusion: My illusion in this life has been what keeps leading me to trauma bonding instead of healthy relationships. This painting and song provides a great metaphor for my illusion. I have fatansized love, bombed the hell out of it because it is a psychedelic drug that takes away my pain. I love intimately to numb and aleeve my pain, but the only way it works is it has to be real and connecting, as crazy as that sounds. But makes sense when I consider I have been in a monogamous marriage for almost 24 years. Shadow work is done when you are in your darker feelings. It isnt easy learning to process those feelings instead of react to them but it helps so much. I really dont know today what tomorrow brings, I just know that I cant keep chasing the dragon. #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive #AICreate #traumabonding #lovebombing💔

See the Forest from the Trees
TikTok post — 2026-01-08 See the Forest from the Trees: Awareness of the truth that we are not our thoughts isn't easy to develop. It almost seems like self abandonment for a minute or two. But once you accept or believe in the science of who we are, it makes logical sense. That awareness in itself is very powerful, almost like walking through the veil. It is definitely one of the ways I am indifferent with myself so I am learning how to be the thinker, not his thoughts. #awareness #emotionalintelligence #selfgrowth #fyp #AICreate

Charlie Brown's Parents
TikTok post — 2026-01-09 Charlie Brown's Parents: I have sat on this draft for a minute now. When I first saw this picture I was like ooooh that is perfect timing so I saved it and created this content with it. As I have read it and viewed it in the few days since it really sounds like Charlie Brown's parents. Alignment is a pipe dreams, a hoax and a dirty trick like Lucy with the football. So wah wah wah wah. Wah wah wah wah wah wah. #fyp #cptsd #alignment #therapyart #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Autistic Sarcasm
TikTok post — 2026-01-09 Autistic Sarcasm: I have a simple but very difficult message to share with myself in this content. Fantasy, fairy tales, and hopeful stories, songs and images trigger me. These photos are time lapsed over the course of a year, showing a powerful mathematical rhythm to creation. It is beautiful and more than likely fake as hell, which seems like such a logical thought as much as it is cynical. It is a rather realistic pov with all the AI, but this is deeper for me than that. I used AI to modify these images to help convey, through sarcasm, how trigerring they are to me. Scene 1 is how creation failed me, Scene 2 is how fake joyful people are, and Scene 3 is the curtain being pulled back to show the man pulling levers and pushing buttons. None of these triggered POV's are true but they are just as real so hopefully this content helps me heal. #AICreate #therapyart #cptsd #healingjourney #fyp

Imaginos Rabbit Hole
TikTok post — 2026-01-09 Imaginos Rabbit Hole: So this song is a massive rabbit hole into the artistic mind behind the Blue Oyster Cult. Important fact, I had no clue this rabbit Hole existed when I put the video together. I didn't really listen to the lyrics, but as the AI videos were done, it just flowed and felt aligned to me. Awareness of the lyrics and the fiction behind them is a gift from somewhere. To catalog the gift, Google AI summarizes the meaning of these lyrics as depicting a moment of existential and supernatural realization. The narrator embraces a cold, eternal heritage beyond normal human experience. 🤯 My character is that narrator cat, he is learning that keeping his heart in love makes him limitless and eternal. The penguin sees this return on the cat's investment and believes in love again as well. Not the intimate couple love, this about the energy created through love of self. #fyp #AICreate #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive #cptsd #selflovejourney

Haunted Dead or Alive
TikTok post — 2026-01-10 Haunted Dead or Alive: There is a feeling, something that is hard to comprehend until it lives with you. This not something you feel once, it is permanent once it hits. Hopeless sadness is the best way I can describe it, much like the worst nightmare you can remember. I hear myself scream that horrible scream but cannot save him because he was never saved. I can go back and heal that abused little boy but I can never save him from that moment and that scream. This is processing through exposure, a nightmare with my eyes wide open. The despair and hopelessness will pass in time. #emotionalflashback #cptsd #healingjourney💜 #fyp #AICreate

Angels in the Outfield
TikTok post — 2026-01-10 Angels in the Outfield: There is a complex array of connections that I carry through the tough days. This is one of those days so I am leaning on my guardian angel connections to help me as I sit and process. I look around and I look away, then I look up and finally I look inward to find my way. That helps to finally get back to a place of peace and protection. #fyp #healingjourney💜 #cptsd #awareness #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Faces of Death
TikTok post — 2026-01-10 Faces of Death: As I sit and process deeply rooted shame and fear I am reminded with every skipped hearttbeat that I am not my trauma. I am not my abuse, I am many things but not that. I am strong, I am wise, I am powerful, I am all things in love. So I run towards the Son as fast as I possibly can and leave the fear and shame behind me. #AICreate #fyp #healing #cptsd #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Shadow Realm

Emotional Irrelevance
TikTok post — 2026-01-10 Emotional Irrelevance: The dark days, the bad feelings, the anger are all real and trying to deny them, avoid them, or pretend them away doesn't work. I have a side to me that scares even me but it is losing more and more control over me every day. I am finally changing because I no longer ignore and shame this part of myself. #acceptance #shadowwork #healingjourney💜 #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Bedtime Stories
TikTok post — 2026-01-10 Bedtime Stories: Fear is a hell of a reality and a difficult state to go back to in exposure therapy and through the always poorly timed flashbacks. This content helps me. It is really scary but in a little bit of a fun way to remind me that fear is a liar. Process with purpose. #AICreate #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive #healingjourney💜 #fearisaliar

Unhappy Place
TikTok post — 2026-01-11 Unhappy Place: I recently went to a sound bath, with about 12 other people, in a wannabe salt cave next to an Albertsons. It was a cool and horrific experience that had me powering through an hour of meditation. I realized a few things in that time, and one was the love bombing facade that I am and what I quickly end up being as she gets close. #AICreate #fyp #cptsd #hardtolove #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Raindance
TikTok post — 2026-01-11 Raindance: There is a peaceful easy feeling that comes with every answered prayer. A wave of gratitude and then a dance in the rain, it is time. #AICreate #healingjourney💜 #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive #fyp #emotionalflashback

Flying Solo
TikTok post — 2026-01-11 Flying Solo: Not much to add to the message to help me through the loneliness most days other than it will pass. I may need a few videos like this one to help me sit and feel it till it goes away. #AICreate #fyp #lonlinessfeelings #emotionalflashback #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Advocacy 2
TikTok post — 2026-01-11 Advocacy 2: This is a diagnosis that is attributed to more women than men. Women are more likely to be abused, which is a horrible reality, especially for them. We dont fight their demons for them though, we stand by their side and give them the strength to defeat them on their own. The steps shared here work no matter who's cptsd is flared up, so one step at a time. #cptsd #healingjourney💜 #fyp #awareness #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Fear Monger
TikTok post — 2026-01-11 Fear Monger: Giving into fear is painful, and for cptsd, it's a whole other level. Face your fears, they say, I have, and they laughed at me. They said we own you, live inside your nerves, and work our way to your veins. We let you live, we let you breathe, and we will set your body, mind, and soul on fire. As this content shows me though, I can handle the heat. #AICreate #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive #fearisaliar #cptsd

Stargate
TikTok post — 2026-01-11 Stargate: The portal is ope and I made it to the gate in time, better late than never. I will have to hurry up and wait to see if she is going to join me or not. I can't go backward and be that shell of a man anymore, I really hope she makes it. #fyp #AICreate #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive #cptsd #healingjourney💜

Aesop Rock
TikTok post — 2026-01-12 Aesop Rock: The fairy tale is as old as time, your one true love is out there waiting for you. Then we grow up and realize that we are no Prince charming so abuse is what we get and give. Unless we break the cycle, grow the hell up and then man the hell up and become the heartbroken fool once more. This song has one of the most loving melodies and it makes me cringe evertime I hear it. #AICreate #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive #hardtolove #acceptance

Ideation Vibration
TikTok post — 2026-01-12 Ideation Vibration: A frequency that is very risky and taboo to emit is that of ideation. Especially when it is just a dream of the grandeur of tomorrow. The dreamstate, romanticizing and fantasy mindset is not being present and it is a deceiving gateway drug. So this content is a reminder that if this is your vibration then stop and listen. Learn why it is you dream of escape, of a better experience in the next life. Today, for me, it is a struggle of accepting and waiting. Being patient and resting, letting the time to process take priority. I have to fight this weariness and exhaustion from the nightmares and flashbacks. I am making progress but have more fear about what is around the bend than excitement. The visual reminds, rewinds, and realigns me to hope, the music helps me listen to my shadows. #healingjourney💜 #shadowwork #cptsd #fyp #AICreate

Love is All We Need
TikTok post — 2026-01-12 Love is All We Need: A soft and inspiring moment to be grateful for the eternal love afforded to us with each breath. It is the counterweight that maintains the balance and keeps me upright and breathing. YHWH. Grace is a force worthy of our gratitude and embrace. #AICreate #yhwh #grace #healingjourney💜 #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Only the Lonely
TikTok post — 2026-01-12 Only the Lonely: If only she knew or still believed and could see how the universe is moving to give her the space to heal. Its a miracle waiting but there is no way around the awakening it requires. Humility isnt enough, self-awareness doesn't develop lightly, both require suffering to see. I tried to tell her, I tried to show her but her cptsd is much harder to accept. Her trauma is far less obvious, but just as damaging to her inner child as mine was Nothing else I can do other than love her anyways, support her as best I can and compassionaltely wait for her diagnosis to snap her out of the ego's hypnosis. #AICreate #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive #healingjourney💜 #cptsd

Precious Moments
TikTok post — 2026-01-12 Precious Moments: It is incredibly comforting to think of how hard God is fighting for me despite opposition from me and every other hateful force or evil energy out there. I look back in my life and have only him to thank for getting to this point. This song is as close to reverence as I get right now and it fills my heart with joy. #healingjourney💜 #soulwarfare #grace #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Energizer Bunny
TikTok post — 2026-01-13 Energizer Bunny: This one is a pretty good looper that can just keep going. I dont think I can ever get sick of these guitar licks and vocal grit. Everyone is searching for that magic answer or the easy button quick fix solution. All that jazz has ever delivered is pain and suffering, so I think I will just enjoy the energy of this content instead when I am stuck. Let the answers, solutions and directions present themselves instead of force them along. #AICreate #fyp #therapyart #healingjourney💜 #shadowwork

Connectedness
TikTok post — 2026-01-13 Connectedness: It's a great song but an even better phenomenon is found in the message behind it. For me, I have a knack, or more like a CPTSD superpower, to see in syncronicity. Connectedness is an experience when we feel it, even when admiring the connections outside of ourselves. For example, my content creates connections far beyond anything I can imagine or facilitate because it is based on synchronicity. A song, a visual, and a caption all connected to create a message that is different for each person who views my content. Quantam evidence without the need to see inside the realm. An awesome reminder that we are alive and that in itself gives hope because everything is possible. #quantamentanglement #synchronicity #fyp #healingjourney💜 #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Romancing the Stone

Reverse Logic
TikTok post — 2026-01-13 Reverse Logic: No one gets through this life avoiding all the pain and suffering it brings. We would like to think that some do, with their lifestyles of the rich and famous facade or Norman Rockwell family illusion. It is not the case, even the most powerful that we villify and shame are not immune. We all share in a collective consciousness and the more a person takes the more that person is in pain and trying to remove or avoid it. That is the upsidedown way to understanding a simple yet powerful truth. The way out of the quicksand is by feeling and listening to our pain not removing or avoiding it. #AICreate #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive #selflovejourney #healingjourney💜

Healing Decisions
TikTok post — 2026-01-14 Healing Decisions: Some of the toughest choices I have made in my life have come in the last 14 months of healing. Don't get it twisted, there are a lot of other tough choices I have had to make in my life. These latest ones though have been isolating and diminishing unlike the others, especially from the outside looking in. #loneliness #mentalheath #AICreate #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Pirate Radio
TikTok post — 2026-01-14 Pirate Radio: Tune in and listen, do you hear them say to love them tomorrow? God is worthy of love and praise, it is free will that leads to our suffering and they have put a way home out there for everyone........problem is acceptance and beliefs but hey one step at a time. #relateable #empathy #selflovejourney #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Vibe High, Shine Bright

Contents Under Pressure
TikTok post — 2026-01-14 Contents Under Pressure: It is impossible to be the diamond you were created to be with CPTSD. Unless you put in the work and heal from it, because you have to let go of the fear and protection. Guarded is how it is often described to me about me. That is the Pressure that we need to transform, feeling that fear and letting go of it develops a new freedom and that sparks the light. The even better part? Through new and old connections you help others transform as well. So yeah, be yourself and to hell with what anyone thinks about it. #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive #goodvibes #selflovejourney #healingjourney💜

Lightning Bugs
TikTok post — 2026-01-16 Lightning Bugs: If I could set the world on fire to change the weather, I wouldn't hesitate. The storm clouds have been around for a very long time, and it is not always easy to see through the dark. I hear God in this song, so the visual is another cool metaphor for how he finally gets me to see the light. It's scary and painful, but that seems to be my love language, so it makes sense. #fyp #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive #AICreate #selflovejourney #healingjourney💜

Crocodile Smile
TikTok post — 2026-01-16 Crocodile Smile: The paradigm shift internally has come by one peaceful moment at a time. Learning to sit still and just feel has been so pivotal to my healing. I am getting to the point now that when that panic or anxiety hits me in my chest I position myself and breath instead of reach for the meds. I woke up this morning way too early with way to much flying around in my head and its ok. So yeah, finally feeling like I can just sit back and relax, panic then regulate, and go back to relaxing. That defintely makes me smile, just like this meme did. #AICreate #healingjourney💜 #fyp #positiveenergy #tiktokcreatorsearchinsightsincentive

Learning to Love
TikTok post — 2026-01-16 Learning to Love: This song is sung by my future self to my current self. My other parts are listening too though, this has such a soothing feel to it that we all need. This is just a loving reminder to just keep going and enjoy the hell out of the view along the way. It isn't easy, healing never will be no matter how different it is for all of us. But it is necessary to find the love we all really crave underneath it all. Love is found through suffering and then self, both humbly kneel me before God and in return they help me see the light. #AICreate #fyp #positiveenergy #healingjourney💜 #learningtolove

Maxwell House
TikTok post — 2026-01-17 Maxwell House: The vibe flows so beautifully yet paunfully with this one. It is a slow draw so turn it up and enjoy, it will get better the longer it goes. There is a lot connected and layers of meaning but the common thread is found with time. #AICreate #fyp #healingjourney💜 #positiveenergy #cptsd

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
TikTok post — 2026-01-17 Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: There are many reasons for people to exclude others. Many different ways that our society separates the winners from the losers and many ways the losers get reminded of the defeat. It is just how this world works and the test we all need to take. Will we choose to win this life or the next? Sometimes, when you lose, you win but it takes a long time to turn. In the meantime, losing is lonely as hell, I see a lot of blessed and happy hateful winners out there. Might as well be floating away on some other rock until this life is over. #AICreate #fyp #cptsd #loneliness #shadowwork

Edge Effect
TikTok post — 2026-01-17 Edge Effect: Phases are often how the cptsd healing journey is defined. Three of them, grounding, processing, and integration. They are not linear, and they definitely overlap. I'm not sure if any of them have an end. I do know that through them, I have learned a very important lesson that this content shares. There is real power, strength, and wisdom that develops through these phases and the self-love they generate. For dis guy, that self-love is not possible without my higher power. My fire, my flame is based on my faith in a loving God and that there is more to our existence than this life. That helps me believe and see through the scorched remnants of my life like the Edge effect on Owls. #AICreate #fyp #cptsd #healingjourney💜 #selflovejourney

Drowning Pool
TikTok post — 2026-01-17 Drowning Pool: The awakening process with cptsd was horribly painful and difficult for me. I had to go through more betrayal and abandonment to finally face what happened to me. The most difficult moments were when I cried out for help and was left to drown on my own. Breaking in these moments, drowning in my own past, helped me finally scream and cry and release all this stored up betrayal and abandonment. They left me to drown, but in that struggle, I learned how to swim. #AICreate #healingjourney💜 #cptsd #fyp #shadowwork

One Way or the Other

Fundamental to Love

Feeling It
TikTok post — 2026-01-18 Feeling It: This one is a grieving piece because grief is one of the toughest emotional flashbacks to face. It is also hell on its own in the present. I have a lot to grieve, and this content helps me to just sit in the grief and appreciate it for what it is. #AICreate #fyp #cptsd #grieve #healingjourney💜

Like a Bird

Communication is Me
TikTok post — 2026-01-18 Communication is Me: There are many ways to communicate with other living creatures and things. We put out energy into this universe through communication, intention, and emotion, all vibrating at the frequency of our nervous system. Listening, on the other hand, is how we develop our Consciousness, actually we use all of our senses but listening is the most difficult. I am learning to listen to my Self and in turn communicate more clearly and effectively, which in turn is growing my Consciousness. Who would have thought an app could do that? All I needed was the connections to my Consciousness through communication. #AICreate #therapyart #healingjourney🖤 #fyp #cptsd

Ascend Instead of Defend

Love Song
TikTok post — 2026-01-18 Love Song: This one is a cry, a scream, and a loving embrace for the only one I feel safe with. She is the only one who sees me and can still love me. She is far from perfect but she sees me perfectly and now that we are establishing safety, there is an opportunity for healing squared. #AICreate #fyp #cptsd #healingjourney #coregulate

Rocky Roads
TikTok post — 2026-01-19 Rocky Roads: I remember as I started the CPTSD healing journey 15 months ago how lost and hopeless I felt. I was so buried in shame and guillt that it was suffocating my power. But now, after all this time grounding and processing, I feel my power finally, and it is as warm and as loving as it is safe and protecting. It has been a rocky road, and there are plenty of rocks ahead, but I know I can both endure and overcome them now. #AICreate #fyp #cptsd ##healingjourney #sasurvivor🖤

Hello Darkeness My Old Friend
TikTok post — 2026-01-19 Hello Darkeness My Old Friend: Embracing my darkness has been just as important to my healing as anything else. This content uses my darkness as a lens to look at the three phases of healing. The first is grounding, where I learned to feel safe despite living in a nightmare. The second is processing which helped me see the forrest from the trees despite being in a haunted castle secluded from civilization. The third is integration, the last phase where my unhealthy trauma response slowly dies. #AICreate #fyp #healingjourney #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤

Use Your Delusion
TikTok post — 2026-01-20 Use Your Delusion: Terms like black and white thinking, projecting, and seeing through a shame lens are common ways to describe the effect CPTSD has on my perception. It really does feel like the Twilight Zone most of the time. Like I am always on the outside looking in or more accurately vibrating at a different frequency. I think the best I have done is harmonize with other frequencies because I vibrate uniquely to protect myself. I change my vibration constantly, like an AM radio that never seems to lock in on a station. The years before this one I was a supernova in my own universe because of the self sabotage this perception leads to. Then once reality crumbles I fall into a land of make believe thinking I am fighting the forces of darkness instead my own shame. I can at least recognize it for what it is. #AICreate #cptsd #healingjourney💜 #fyp #therapyart

Resilient Demise

Stillness Is the Key

Slow Down

You Break You Buy
TikTok post — 2026-01-20 You Break You Buy: This content signifies my transition from self hate to self love. Like the letters I burned that I wrote to my abuser and the one I wrote to my daughter's (who is lucky he took his own life before I went back on my promise to my wife). I choose me, not fear or shame or the anger and rage they create. I will not abandon myself for any reason and in doing so my baby girl, who is all grown up and just crushing life, will continue to do the same. #AICreate #fyp #selflove #haters #protectivedad

Rare Breed
TikTok post — 2026-01-21 Rare Breed: The Moon in Capricorn has some really cool aspects to my chart, being a double Capricorn (Sun, Ascending). I have a crazy astrological profile, but I fall into that category in a lot of ways. INFJ, Heyoka, I seem to end up in these incredibly rare and messed up design caregories that make me feel hopeless. I see stuff like this and it really just makes me want fly into the Sun. But then I take a deep breath and try to see some hope in tomorrow because I am present in today. #AICreate #fyp #cptsd #infj #heyokaempath

Daytona 500
TikTok post — 2026-01-21 Daytona 500: This is number 500 and that is still a bit unreal but these videos really help me. I figured I would celebrate with a little reveal to connect a bit more with all my healers. Not something you will see often because my content is always driven my a message TO myself. Luckily, this content is true to form and reminds me that out loud was the only way I finally started to heal 🍻 #cptsd #infj #heyokaempath #christislove #fyp

Hold the Line
TikTok post — 2026-01-21 Hold the Line: This healing journey took a serious turn in the right direction in late 2024, but that led me to the road less travelled. It is a steep uphill grade that will test and improve your limits, but it is dark and scary. There is more light than shadow the further I climb and I get stronger every day. It is slow, painful and uncomfortable but it works. Face the trauma, ground and process to regulate. Using the techniques, tools and therapies are healing my nervous system. I will keep climbing and eventually I will get up and over these mountains, or die trying. #trusttheprocess #stayfocused #selfgrowth #cptsd #fyp

Words to Live By

Collaboration
TikTok post — 2026-01-21 Collaboration: Having a little fun connecting with @reve's latest content they sent me. The connection and choices are all driven by the journey to rebuild your belief system when going through trauma therapy. Leaving the glitter and fake safety of your trauma response and childhood belief system to wander lost forever trying to find your specific, unique, and God give connection to love. Whatever that means for you it is a much healthier belief system than before. #cptsd #fyp #emotionalwriting #selfgrowth #HealingJourney

Dropping the Book

Insomniac Nightmare
TikTok post — 2026-01-22 Insomniac Nightmare: Sleeping is a crazy part of living that is easy to take for granted like breathing. That is until you can't sleep out of fear from what you will experience. The early hours of the morning and later hours of the night are two different drugs that help you see the lights instead of the monsters. It is a crazy effect of hiding the abuse more than anything else. #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #therapyart #healing #AICreate

Intriguing Indeed

Healing Mantra
TikTok post — 2026-01-23 Healing Mantra: This has been one of my favorite sayings my whole life. If I only had a nickel for every time I said it, lol. Fighting the good fight is a lot more than inspiration for me. It is a battle cry out of desperation. Sometimes there seems to be no rhyme or reason for the fight but there is no way in hell I am going to quit. As long as I am breathing I am fighting the good fight for my life, every minute every day. #AICreate #HealingJourney #fightthegoodgfight #cptsd #selfgrowth

Curiosity Killed the Cat
TikTok post — 2026-01-23 Curiosity Killed the Cat: Like the lights of Vegas, this content is projecting light to capture the senses. What is it that we really want and why is it never, ever enough. What we are longing for, deep down is beyond us until we realize it is within us. I am sending out a message of gratitude in the face of ineptitude to help me remember what it is I am really after. It is cosmic, celestial, heavenly, and every other word I can come up with that solves this mystery once and for all. Meaning, we all want the meaning, the point, th why. It is the one thing that means the most, our why. Have you found it yet? I have found what I believe but until i know I will always be searching. #AICreate #cptsd #HealingJourney #fyp #therapyart

Cruxes and Crosses

Respect the Ocean
TikTok post — 2026-01-24 Respect the Ocean: I lost a mentor today, I was supposed to meet with him next week. He was a great leader, the easiest to connect with because he was as down to earth and as relateable as can be. I watches hundres of people mourn and grieve together for this man. That is legacy and his was full of love as everyone proved that was there. Pretty powerful stuff, grief is heavy and it hurts but that tells you everything about this one man. So this one is for him and all the people we have lost, I hope they are loving the view. #AICreate #griefandloss #mentorship #legacy #fyp

If Sadness Were a Town
TikTok post — 2026-01-25 If Sadness Were a Town: This is an expression of sadness that I have sat in a lot today. I have this one playing on repeat because it hits in multiple ways. Thinking about those I have lost sometimes is just as healing as it is sad. Call me crazy but I am actually grateful for the grief I carry because that means I have been loved. I love this sunset and song as much as I miss the ones who are gone. #fyp #griefandloss #therapyart #journaling #sadness

To Thine Own Self Be True

The Climb
TikTok post — 2026-01-26 The Climb: You don't know the hell I've been through. You don't know the price I've paid. Viral lyrics on this platform that we can all relate to. Just like the Ted Lasso quote, "all that time no one was a least bit curious." I have climbed out of some incredibly deep and dark hell holes. I have overcome abuse in all forms, through all phases of my life. The worst thing anyone can do is underestimate me. I was hardened like a piece of coal by the hatred and worst in others. I turned that suffering into gifts that are not very common or understood. My brain and nervous system have been a hindrance until now only because I did not understand how they function because of the trauma. Now I do and I can use them to help. #AICreate #fyp #cptsd #healingjourney #fightthegoodgfight

Time Out
TikTok post — 2026-01-26 Time Out: This AI experiment is a really cool result using the album cover for the song. It reminds me of the creepy Mr Rodgers animation so it is perfect for what I am feeling and healing today. It's been a bad day, we all have them, nightmares were rough,(actually vividly remeber them) and after a very long week of little sleep I got very little once again. But like this animation, I am safe as my monsters flare up because I am not them. I observe and report, serve and protect. This is accountable, I sat and processed for a few hours and now its time to get back to the present. #fightthegoodgfight #healingjourney #cptsd #fyp #therapyart

Timeless Memory
TikTok post — 2026-01-26 Timeless Memory: The wandering with purpose is almost protective in a way. It is time that is lost, a message from long ago. Each time I watch it all I can see are the shadows of my early childhood before the abuse started. It is sadness that breathes the same frequency as the singing. This content is a Timeless memory that lives in the shadows of my mind. #AICreate #therapyart #fyp #cptsd #healingjourney

Jack Black
TikTok post — 2026-01-27 Jack Black: Going with something a little different, something a little fun and groovy. A little content to make me feel good, despite more uphill days ahead. One thing I notice is I can see the love through struggle better these days. It is a lot easier to see the miracles, let alone be them, when your not controlled by your trauma response. Going to enjoy this groove again and again. #AICreate #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #fightthegoodgfight

More Than a Feeling

The Art of War
TikTok post — 2026-01-27 The Art of War: Two types of childhoods, they are blended for most, and a select few have more or all of either side. That balance and imbalance is the human experience in our society. There are levels of complex trauma that are nowhere near as obvious as others, and those do more damage because the narcissistic defenses will never be seen as such. The protection spell these middle of the road people cast is something they are blind to. For most of my life, I thought I had to fight the external, but now I realize I am at war with my reaction to my external. I am winning this war. My fight is not a trigger point that people can use against me anymore. #AICreate #therapyart #fyp #cptsd #HealingJourney

Squeaky Wheels

Ashes to Ashes
TikTok post — 2026-01-27 Ashes to Ashes: Most of my life, I have hidden my abandonment and sa wounds behind my writing. I have used many types and forms of writing, but the style is all the same. Dark, faceless, and powerful. When there was a face, it sure as hell wasn't mine. Now, when I write, it is my reflection found in the words, not my trauma response faceless pseudo-identity. That dude burned up in the fire. #AICreate #sasurvivor🖤 #HealingJourney #cptsd #fyp

High Life
TikTok post — 2026-01-28 High Life: This is it, the song, my one and only. We have been together for a long time now, starting in Junior High so since 1987. That was the year I started smoking cigarettes and drinking as well as doing drugs. It helped with the nightmares, the self abuse and the flashbacks. The music got real and I fell in love with heavy metal. Especially Ozzy, he was a poet really. Suicide solution saved me one night when I almost intentionally drove myself into incoming traffic. Then I met this song and the Light and the dark in me came alive at the same time. I am a madman and this content shares why. I dont care how much I suffer, love is the way. I choose love, which means I accept duality and perception and the limitless possibilities. I see a lot of people focused on the external, it is the norm in our society. I choose to be a madman, I was shown what the absence of love leads to at a very young age. That hurt so bad I dont want myself or anyone else to go through that again. The imagery in this one in intense and provoking, even triggering, to connect with the intensity of madness I carry. I go through this life like a blind person reading brail because of this naive and childhood belief in love. Or at least that is the common perception of my madness. #fyp #cptsd #HealingJourney #sasurvivor🖤 #madness

Open Up and Say Ah
TikTok post — 2026-01-28 Open Up and Say Ah: Therapy day, exposure session once again. Prayed ahead of time and definitely got the help I needed to really connect this time. My therapist had me stop organically throughout the exposure to process both cognitively and somaticallly. That was crazy intense and unpacked so much more than I have been able to process before. Hella difficult and created a lot tears and chest pain but it brought me back futher and closer to my wounded inner child. #AICreate #sasurvivor🖤 #cptsd #fyp #exposuretherapy

Seeing is Believing
TikTok post — 2026-01-28 Seeing is Believing: This song is between me and my cptsd and this message is to help call out the struggle. Flies have crazy vision and that is similar to what i mean with Prisms. It hurts to see this much at once so I need to learn how to compartmentalize better. We see intention, energy, trauma, actions and words. Connecting the dots is exhausting. #fyp #cptsd #HealingJourney #emotionalwriting #selfabandonment

Helping Hand
TikTok post — 2026-01-29 Helping Hand: This one is difficult and healing for me, I watch it and see both my wife's and daughter's wounded inner child. My darkness is there to help them both. I have learned so I will share and hopefully that helps them avoid the darkness more. What will I share? That there are core wounds and feelings underneath the pain and anger. The shame and abandonment is the darkness for me, for some others it is just abandonment and that is close enough to hell for anyone. Either way, learning to love yourself starts here where you feel the worst. #AICreate #fyp #HealingJourney #cptsd #therapyart

Slow Burn

Silence is Deadly
TikTok post — 2026-01-29 Silence is Deadly: Living with the secrets of my abuse was a terminal illness that was self inflicted. Any chance or version of myself that was healthy never made it to 21 years old. I have been through so many transformations in my lifetime and each time this outer shelf takes on more damage. This image without a word shares how it feels to carry the abuse in silence. That abandonment, that silence is deadly. #cptsd #fyp #sufferinsilence #therapyart #HealingJourney

Aces High
TikTok post — 2026-01-29 Aces High: This one is more complex than I can cover in one writing because it has layers to it. I have tried to heal and failed forward so many times in my life that all I can do is carry on and keep trying. This time, although I may overshoot the target again, I at least know why. If I can remain still and steadfast in managing my trauma response, the clarity will make the difference. If I fail again, I will carry on flying too high until I fly into the Son. #AICreate #fyp #cptsd #HealingJourney #sasurvivor🖤

Sleeping Pills
TikTok post — 2026-01-29 Sleeping Pills: This was my day yesterday after therapy, I crashed hard in the early evening and actually took a nap. I don't nap, well I can't physically, but it is not without trying or wanting. When I try to sleep during the day, it triggers a fear in my body that is like that sudden sensation of falling we can all get as we are drifting off to sleep. I get this panic in my chest just like when I try to meditate. The moment I physically start to relax, it triggers a fear reaponse that I can not control or deny. All this said, my journey is leading me to a place that feels a lot like the video at the end. I am walking a tight rope, a bridge over troubled waters, and I am moving forward. But one wrong step, and I will fall to my doom. This is trauma therapy, the exhaustion and fear is beyond my control at times, but it continues to diminish with each step. #AICreate #traumatherapy #cptsd #fyp #HealingJourney

Sharing is Caring

Its a Kind of Magic
TikTok post — 2026-01-30 Its a Kind of Magic: This is where I am heading and where I am at. Master of my emotions through somatic techniques that bring me peace like I've never felt before. If I were king this little house is all I need. When I rest and sit still, this is where I will be. #AICreate #therapyart #healingoutloud #cptsd #fyp

Creation Ideation
TikTok post — 2026-01-30 Creation Ideation: So if this gives you the chills like it does me (every time), then comment back. Every single time, chills on the back of neck. Go and look up what Lukas Nelson says about this guy. He really is special. Another beautiful reminder of the love in creation. There are so many marvels that tell us we are loved and made in love, regardless of the equal amount of reasons mankind shows us we are not worthy of love. This picture with the blood red filter on the moon gives me chills. The sun and the mountains and the lake and the trees, its heaven for me and the view from my meditation house tucked into the mountain side. #AICreate #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #HealingJourney

Be the Change
TikTok post — 2026-01-30 Be the Change: Peace of mind was something I was chasing since I was 13 and started using drugs. I used to draw it everywhere, that and a few other interesting statements. I got loud and proud real quick, didn't give a you know what about nothing. Fearless and a deathwish, I searched for peace of mind. It's pretty ironic because all I had to do to find it was embrace the change. To myself, let that sink in. #HealingJourney #cptsd #fyp #selfgrowth #bethechange

On Repeat

DJ Let it Play
TikTok post — 2026-01-31 DJ Let it Play: This one hopefully lasts cause man does it connect in such a fun way. I will have to test it the next time I am triggered to see if it helps. For tonight though, it feels good like Friday should. #AICreate #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #HealingJourney

One Can Only Hope
TikTok post — 2026-01-31 One Can Only Hope: A bit of a fun MTV throwback with bit of a healing twist. My heart is open and learning how to beat with the music. It has taken a lifetime to break my chest open. As I journey on I will continue to transform so this content ends with a bit of hope at the end. I matched the chorus with a growth point when my third eye sees all wavelengths. A future I hope to achieve. #AICreate #HealingJourney #cptsd #therapyart #fyp

Run To The Hills
TikTok post — 2026-01-31 Run To The Hills: There is a break in the wall and my escape is real. Stuck for so long in this infinite prison of isolation and solitary confinement. The afterlife for me is post trauma awareness. It cannot be shared enough because it is so drastic of a change in perspective, that it is healing. I am making my escape now while I can, just need to follow the light. #fyp #cptsd #HealingJourney #traumatherapy #selfawareness

Bumper Stickers
TikTok post — 2026-01-31 Bumper Stickers: Heyoka empaths are healers with a unique mirror of a presence that helps others feel safe. Empathic abilities are developed alongside skills like humor and communication to help others heal. This development is coupled with severe trauma as it is the catalyst that creates the transformation. This is another label that I am not fond of but accept and embrace as one of the bumper stickers on my soul. Only because it turns hate into love. #AICreate #fyp #cptsd #heyokaempath #HealingJourney

Choices
TikTok post — 2026-01-31 Choices: This song is God speaking to me with the reminder of their love and these written words help me feel their love. It is easy to humanly lose site of God because of the physical separation but omnipresent is a whole different type of physical. So I choose faith and love with the hope that now that I see God and their Purple rain I will eventually start laughing or dancing (I hear the lyric as dancing). #fyp #HealingJourney #cptsd #loveisgod #therapyart

Nature vs Nurture (Literally)
TikTok post — 2026-02-01 Nature vs Nurture (Literally): The abandonment wound has been the source of a lot of my content. It is way worse than I can handle on most days and something I never understood until now. It is a wound only I can heal in a way that is not foreign to me. I was a single dad with sole custody 25 years ago, and within those couple years, I developed a pretty effective nurturing nature when I needed to. Having a daughter and my other son both helped develop that nurturing abilty even more. If I can learn to nurture myself like one of my own children, I can heal this wound. It takes grace, and I know where to turn for that. #AICreate #fyp #cptsd #abandonment #healingjourney🖤

Total Recall
TikTok post — 2026-02-01 Total Recall: Remembering has been a big struggle in my complex healing journey. Partially because of all the years that have gone by and mostly because I won't let myself remember. I have prayed before my sessions for 15 months now asking to help me remember, safely. The panic attacks these memories created are past and now it is mainly my blood pressure that is impacted. I spent almost 30 minutes in exposure therapy for my last session. I prayed for that hell and it hurt like you know what but that was healing. I described the fear waves like the old cartoons with a white stripe down their backs or souls escaping their bodies. It is crazy how real it still is physically, which means it's working. I am working my way towards total recall. #AICreate #exposuretherapy #sasurvivor🖤 #healingjourney🖤 #fyp

Every Little Thing

Open Eyes
TikTok post — 2026-02-01 Open Eyes: Lovebombing, something I thought about was romantic was in fact, a nightmare in the end. It isn't easy to admit, but awakening shattered my whole sense of romance. Mostly because once I realized how my romance was being perceived. It's kind of hard to see any resemblance of love in a man when he is just a shell protecting his wounded inner child. I tend to worry that I have to relearn everything but keep telling myself that it is all about my healing and not my night moves. For now, there is no game, but eventually, there will also be no shame. #AICreate #lovebombing #cptsd #healingjourney #fyp

Workhorse
TikTok post — 2026-02-01 Workhorse: This one is simple to remain powerful. It carries a lesson that is hard for me to learn well enough to change. I have carried my world on my back since I was 6. It is one of the best and worst ways I have stayed safe. The older I got, the bigger my world became, the more weight I carried. I am good and strong and faithful, I am steadfast and resilent, I will carry my weight and theirs. In 2021 they said I had 6 compression fractures in my back and no explanation as to why. Then they realize I have osteoporosis at the age of 46 but only really in my back. My boss and mentor, who passed away last week, always called me a workhorse. Especially once I got hurt and was sidelined. It has been a crazy ride since but I think all I have done is slow down and lighten the load from my childhood. There is no way in hell I cant continue, my whole world depends on it. My whole world is my family so even broken I will keep carrying this load forward for them. #AICreate #fyp #healingjourney #cptsd #provider

Losing My Religion
TikTok post — 2026-02-01 Losing My Religion: I don't often post about my religious trauma. It is so pale in comparison that it often goes unmentioned. I see it in all 4 of my siblings, though too. Yes, we are the mormon average family of 5 kids. Two hard-working, dedicated parents and a whole lifetime of shame shoved into a childhood. Couple it with the SA, and yeah, that is one hell of a starting deck spiritually. I have journeyed a lot spiritually in my life. Stopped going to my parents' church at 12, they have no choice because I had no regard for my life at that point, and they would have had to kill me to make me go. But, with all that, I grew up with a toxic environment that really chose love. There was just a very distorted view of it, God still used that to speak to me. Love is what it has always been and always will be. I eventually found my way to love. Christ and Budda and even Bob Marley and Ozzy helped get me there. God's word is love, and it is everywhere, and I am grateful for my independent yet collective belief system focused on love. #AICreate #fyp #cptsd #healingjourney #religioustrauma

Wasted Years
TikTok post — 2026-02-01 Wasted Years: This one is for my gen X fam, both music and visuals. The mood or emotions I instantly have to face with this one is that generic sadness that is always there. Just that mood, that color, that melancholy of a life wasted by wasting away one moment at a time. I am definitely sitting in the passenger seat on this one. #AICreate #sadness #fyp #cptsd #healingjourney

Justice League
TikTok post — 2026-02-02 Justice League: I'm going to let some of the darkness out on this one. I imagine my abuser and his mother and every other person that abuses children rotting away in this swamp infested house. It doesn't make me feel better. It makes me feel lighter because I imagine it to let go. It makes it more absurd,which eventually makes it less palpable. But for now, I can see my heart beating outside of my chest. #fyp #sasurvivor🖤 #healingjourney #cptsd #therapyart

Ironic Innuendo
TikTok post — 2026-02-02 Ironic Innuendo: The dark side to my nightmares, the worst part to talk about, is what triggers me the most. The abandonment wound often gets the title, but that is because it is easier out of the two to talk about. Sex and arousal are haunting and painful for me. They trigger memories and emotions and physical fear with pain and sensation. It really is a living nightmare. Worse that any of the ones I made up in my dreams. I am a man and that is all that I am and that triggers me every time. This wound is raw and newly opened, at least I can say it without shame. #therapyart #cptsd #healingjourney #sasurvivor🖤 #fyp

Vibration Ideation
TikTok post — 2026-02-02 Vibration Ideation: Music is a timeless gift that transcends our sense of understanding. Not the notes and the chords, the frequency or the amplitude. The emotional response it creates is the gift we truly cherish. Music is sacred, it is free, it is living and breathing in you and me. It guides and calms, so breathe with me and find your space. #AICreate #fyp #musicishealing #cptsd #therapyart

The Fox and the Sound
TikTok post — 2026-02-02 The Fox and the Sound: There are two bands that I listen to when I am severely sad and/or depressed. My connection to their sound is so powerful that hearing their music triggers emotional flashbacks. There are other artists and songs but Pink Floyd and Journey are sadness and depression for me incarnate. Stop, switch, reverse that if you want me to be relatively speaking. This art by Gus Vink with the filters and effects, just completely aligns and triggers an emotional flashback. That makes this content helpful when I am already in one though. The music and art makes me just settle in and process. #therapyart #cptsd #fyp #musicishealing #healingjourney

Ripples in the Water
TikTok post — 2026-02-02 Ripples in the Water: Yeah, this outlet has been a godsend, a gift found in a TikTok account that is helping me process, and that is healing. This content is just a reflection with gratitude to the power of healing out loud, sharing despite the shame. I am really glad my therapist kept nudging me to make my videos public because the impact is worth it. I love to just watch the ripples in the water over and over again. #AICreate #healingjourney #fyp #cptsd #therapyart

Spams and Sarcasms

Birthright
TikTok post — 2026-02-04 Birthright: A human falicy as old as time, a line that is twice the lie. Humans have long felt birthrights regardless of domain (earthly and heavenly). It is just as easy for me to say my birthright is to sit besides God's throne or my own. When in all honesty, the only birthright that we have is free agency. I dont create this content to stand up and claim my birthright. No this is a lesson given through my own brand of sarcasm. I choose to be a conduit and connect to love, just like my father before me and his father before him. #AICreate #fyp #healingjourney #cptsd #loveisgod

Smoke Signals
TikTok post — 2026-02-04 Smoke Signals: If I am being honest, I have been trauma bonding in every romantic relationship I have ever had. Been married twice and a string of committed relationships before then that were just one collosal failure after another. My wife and I have 23 years together this summer and I think the secret to our success is the trauma bond wont let us leave. I think I was blessed to find someone who would understand my wounds because theirs were just as deep. We are both learning as we heal ourselves who we are and who we've been. Anyone who falls in love with a projection instead of a person should connect well with this one. Especially the end. #AICreate #therapyart #fyp #healingjourney #cptsd

Grace Under Fire

Swamp Thing
TikTok post — 2026-02-04 Swamp Thing: A metaphorical way to share what the emotional flashbacks are like. I watched a lot of movies as a kid so there are a few references in here. Creature from the Black Lagoon and the Neverending Story should be obvious to my Gen X friends out there. They hit you quick and the sadness just cranks up to 1000. It is a struggle that is definitely not right. Ground. Process. Integrate. #AICreate #cptsd #therapyart #fyp #healingjourney

Self Soothe
TikTok post — 2026-02-04 Self Soothe: Nothing triggers my abondonment more than my anxious attachment issues. I feel a lot better these days but the moments that triggered me just in the last year alone are still very vivid. This content captures that pain so well that it is exposure therapy for me. The lesson to remeber? Avoidance is a form of emotional abuse and neglect. Anxious Attachment is a form of emotional abuse and neglect. #AICreate #therapyart #fyp #attachmentissues #lightinthedarkness

Theater of Pain
TikTok post — 2026-02-04 Theater of Pain: This is an instant favorite for me, because it makes me laugh and cry. This teenage wasteland of mine grew into a vast world of its own that now at 51 I have finally make it out of. It is a sarcastic way to say I am out to my own prison so I paired it with a song that always made me feel alive. I know three very important things now. 1. love 2. love 3. love and that is all I got because it is all I need. To any part or version of myself future self reading this, all we had to do was tell our story and let go of the shame. Nothing about the abuse or the abandonment was your fault. #AICreate #healingjourney #therapyart #sasurvivor🖤 #fyp

Crazy Diamond
TikTok post — 2026-02-04 Crazy Diamond: Connections in the quantam realm, a concept I love especially with this account. Healing out loud creates connections for others to do the same. It helps me realize that I have a light in me too, no matter how many people don't like me. No matter how many times I am excluded or ignored. That light is still there and no matter if I am a tree falling in the forrest with no one around, it shines brighter than ever. #CapCut #lightinthedarkness #fyp #therapyart #healingjourney

Future is Near
TikTok post — 2026-02-04 Future is Near: This dragon represents my past but is telling me to let go and move on into my future self. He has kept me safe for so long it doesn't seem right or safe. We all have to grow up eventually so pay no mind to the fact that he has to threaten me to get me to leave. #AICreate #fyp #healingjourney #cptsd #therapyart

Rocky Mountain High

Excalibur
TikTok post — 2026-02-04 Excalibur: Funny as I pulled the sword from the stone when I was a kid then lost it. This is a direct and to the point methaphor. My weapon of choice has been a wrecking ball up until now. The sword calls my name and it requires control, strength, and purity to hold. It takes precision and passion to yield in battle. It is used in defense and minimizes collateral damage. It is one hell of a metaphor. #motivation #wellness #mentalhealth #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

Reflection on Reflections

Fortress of Solitude

Open Doors
TikTok post — 2026-02-04 Open Doors: This is a place inside my mind that I go when I need to feel safe and hide. It is quite a Dissassociative state and leaves people hurt making me quite the difficult one to love. It is so automatic I catch myself doing it all the time. It is peaceful and isolated and safe. #AICreate #natureheals #cptsd #healingjourney #fyp

Dancing Photons
TikTok post — 2026-02-04 Dancing Photons: This one is just a beautiful moment that sticks in your head. I swear I can hear the water running. I love the light and the way it dances with the music. It is a deep breath of the love of God through creation and reminds me a lot of Maui. A moment of Zen that I can use again and again. #AICreate #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #momentofzen

Catch and Release
TikTok post — 2026-02-07 Catch and Release: This one is very powerful, both with my healing and with letting go. Harboring hate and anger and rage and vengeance in your heart is very toxic. After 40 plus years I want to let it go but it is so impossible not to feel this way. This content is another attempt to let all that anger go, which is more healing than anything else if it works. #therapyart #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #mentalhealth #motivation

Something Old. Something New

Let it Flow
TikTok post — 2026-02-07 Let it Flow: I have a light in me that shines the brightest when no one else can see. The irony of it fits both this song and image. How does my soul shine? By opening up and letting the love flow without any control. like freewheeling down the hill on my bike. I know my Gen X fam understand that analogy. I am learning, very slowly, that I have to let go and let God. Similar to the way the Light is received and transformed in this content. #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #motivation #healingmusic #mentalhealth

Oceans Apart
TikTok post — 2026-02-08 Oceans Apart: Spirituality is looking externally and/or interally to connect with the higher power that created us. Religion organizes ways to do that ritually, which is really good and really bad at the same time. Just depends on how you are treated, especially if you are a kid. Some need both to find their way, some do not. They both help us to focus on longing, connection, and the promise of reunion despite being physically separated by distance. #healingmusic #motivation #creatorsearchinsights #fyp #musictherapy

Till Death Do Us Part

How Does it Feel? I dont think an image could so immediately define
TikTok post — 2026-02-08 How Does it Feel? I dont think an image could so immediately define CPTSD like this one. The healing and the awakening is slow but it is working. Just gotta keep working the process. Grounding, processing, and integration under the belief system of boundaries, accountability, and grace. This is what it feels like to be stuck in the abuse and abandonment of my childhood. #healingjourney #fyp #therapyart #cptsd #creatorsearchinsights

Story Time
TikTok post — 2026-02-08 Story Time: The frozen falls flow once again, the ice begins to melt to free the fallen guardian. He is reunited with his purpose and carries on to fulfill his destiny. A moment frozen in time thanks to the warmth that came from within and was released underneath to set himself free. A metaphor for the cptsd awakening, which is really more about accountability that led to grace than anything else. #creativesearchinsights #fyp #therapyart #mentalhealth #motivation

Solar Eclipse
TikTok post — 2026-02-08 Solar Eclipse: The abuse I went through as a Kid defintely knocked my universe out of wack, literally right in the nervous system. The sun in my galaxy left a black hole when it shifted away and this healing process and belief system are helping to realign the sun and the stars in my sky. Harmony and balance come next, whenever I am ready to receive them. #cptsd #fyp #healingjourney #healingmusic #creativesearchinsights

Let It Be

Metal Health
TikTok post — 2026-02-08 Metal Health: Convergence is a really cool concept from a lens of love because it gives life to more love. The ability to become the thinker and not the thought is a degree of self love that is undeniable. It is a higher self but really just something we all have within us to obtain. In other words, sit still until you become that which you seek. #creativesearchinsights #fyp #motivation #wellness #mentalhealth

Driftwood
TikTok post — 2026-02-08 Driftwood: Looking back on my life I see the subtle moments are the most important. The simple ways our paths cross and shift and journey is beautifully heartbreaking. This song is as sad as this painting and I love every tear it brings as that is healing too. #fyp #healingmusic #motivation #cptsd #therapyart

Land of the Lost
TikTok post — 2026-02-09 Land of the Lost: To my younger self this is what it feels like to be abandoned in the abuse. Another way of expressing and exposing myself to this place, another step in the healing journey. I can comfort that wounded little boy and I will. None of the other people involved will say sorry but I will sing him to sleep with it. #healingjourney #healingmusic #fyp #therapyart #cptsd

Nostalgia
TikTok post — 2026-02-09 Nostalgia: As a 13 year old kid with a skateboard in 1988 this band and album left a permanent imprint on the inside of my Walkman. They were so good to skate to and they were the anti establishment band of the time. There is not much I really like to remember about those years except the music and the skating or bike riding. Flying down Euclid or Mountain avenue I still dont know how I didn't get hit or crash. Then I had a kid, and all I have felt ever since was fear. Crazy how life and trauma responses change over time. #therapyart #cptsd #healingmusic #fyp #healingjourney

I Know My Truth

Balancing Act
TikTok post — 2026-02-09 Balancing Act: Well the river runs real deep on this one so not sure how well it will pour out. Intimacy is impossible with unmanaged cptsd, and it is impossible after the SA I went through as a kid. I am a man and growing into one was a battle of the impossible. So a song that some may hear so innocently, reminds me of some of the worst experiences in my life. Yet, that is not the whole story so there remains a real glow through all the shame and abuse. This content makes me think about the worst and the best of the adult times in my life that started at the ripe old age of 6. But when I look at any of my three kids let alone the woman I have been married to for 20 plus, I am able to accept the good with the bad. I may not know what the hell I am doing but I am doing it anyways, by the grace of god. #fyp #wellness #mentalhealth #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤

Desolation of Smaug
TikTok post — 2026-02-10 Desolation of Smaug: Yes, I am using a photo of a Martian sunset for this one. Fun fact, I worked on the Spirit and Opportuntiy Mars Rovers that landed in 2004. I was part of the team at JPL that designed the CCD cameras. That was some of the most fun and stress I have ever had on the job. So to use a photo is special just like this connection is. A life through the lens of abuse is metaphorically what this one is all about. Ozzy does a geeat job lyrically to drive the point home. Like every other child abuse victim I will eventually develop my true belief system and leave the abandonment behind. #sasurvivor🖤 #cptsd #fyp #creativesearchinsights #healingmusic

Man in The Iron Mask
TikTok post — 2026-02-10 Man in The Iron Mask: Masking my emotions is a skill that I have mastered like a mad scientist. I can create a complete false narrative in my mind to evoke the perfect masking emotions as I believe it. It is not about hiding my emotions from anyone else as much as it is about hiding them from myself. I have sat with the emotions created by the abuse and abandonment for way too long. They are more than capable of pulling me under so most days this mad scientist is keeping my head above water. As I try to heal and change my beliefs and behaviors I can't help but connect to the desire to keep this part of me alive in case I need it. So this content is my reminder to let my masking abilities die already. They only hurt me and everyone else anyways. #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #healingjourney #fyp #creativesearchinsights

I'm a Believer
TikTok post — 2026-02-10 I'm a Believer: These are words that I can testify too because when my world flipped upside down in 2022 I put this into practice. Now it was shaky at best and still is but I know now that the arrogance and ego are the red flags I am looking for. The moment I started not to worry about what others knew or perceived my arrogance was abandoned. The priority is being true to my Self and owning my truth regardless of what I, or anyone else, thinks about it. #selfbelief #fyp #cptsd #creatorsearchinsights #wellness

Level Up
TikTok post — 2026-02-11 Level Up: This one has sat in my drafts for a minute. I couldn't find the right connection with the music. Then I tried this one from my favorites and man it resonated like a church bell, made my head ring. Absolutely love this image and hate lying but, I am no different than everyone else and mess up. Remaining in lies is the line and the new level I am trying to get to is to stop lying to myself. I hate admitting it but I am the worst at self gaslighting. It is how I stay safe so the trick to leveling up is to no longer be the thought. Instead, now I am the thinker and choose to not bs a bs'er to quote Jane Lynch. Not lying to others is one thing, and it is very human to fail so the best we do is fail forward. But being honest with our Self is another dimension. Not a new one to replace the old pov. An additional one that helps you experience life through a wider lens. #truth #nomorelies #creatorsearchinsights #fyp #cptsd

Sunsetting Conquest
TikTok post — 2026-02-11 Sunsetting Conquest: So believe it or not this is an AI effect on a picture made to look like a real video I took. Two reasons for this artistically. The first is to maintain the illusion factor and the second is to make the message louder. I dropped out of the fight and the Rat Race, a life of light, love and peace is all I need now. This feeling of rest, which makes me vulnerable, is what I am giving into finally. I thank God Almighty for being able to find peace at last and that it was internal growth not external change that was needed. #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #cptsd #wellness #therapyart

Quantum Entanglement
TikTok post — 2026-02-11 Quantum Entanglement: Learning to be curious not judgmental was a drastic transformation for me. like in this picture from a big strong oak to some new and vulnerable connected being that is creating understanding to receive wisdom. The Ted Lasso Darts game scene is one of the best ways to put it. It is better to wonder why someone acts or perceives the way they do than it is to judge them for it. Empathy is not just a skill for compassion and connection, it is also a skill that puts you 5 steps ahead of the rest. #fyp #cptsd #therapyart #wellness #creatorsearchinsights

Normalizing Nerves
TikTok post — 2026-02-12 Normalizing Nerves: It always helps to share the things that help us heal along the way. This is information I can never get enough of. Although it helps me Normalize the more I read it, I still dont feel very normal. So sharing this one with everyone so we can all stop defining ourselves by this condition. #cptsd #fyp #mentalhealth #healingjourney #wellness

Under the Surface
TikTok post — 2026-02-13 Under the Surface: The war inside my head has raged on for as far back as I can remember. If I am being honest, my self hatred and self loathing made me toxic inside. I said the worst things to myself, almost like I had to match the level of verval and emotional abuse to being abused as a kid. As I have gotten older and continued to fracture from my fear based mindset, my inner critic became too toxic to bear. Through trauma therapy, I silence my inner critic but it has been a battle that has required lightning to strike more than once. Most days now, he has no voice but when I trigger it still is my first reaction. I have at least been able to develop the ability to keep him underwater and I can destroy him quickly so the risk is mitigated. #innercritic #selfdestruction #healing #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

Collateral Damage
TikTok post — 2026-02-13 Collateral Damage: This is another great Peter Gabriel song, so fitting for our modern day too. There is an ignorance, brought on by the safe distance from consequences, that we as human beings will develop. The only factor that will enlighten us is Collateral damage that finally hits home. Just like the warmongering politicians, our Ego dissipates to the scale of Collateral Damage we suffer. It took me 20 years of marriage to finally realize I was the problem and answer. I created a lot of Collateral damage through my ignorance of my CPTSD. My family looked like a village that had been bombed to hell. At least now the War is over and we are rebuilding at last. #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #healing #wellness #cptsd

Age of the Innocent
TikTok post — 2026-02-14 Age of the Innocent: There is a side effect of trauma and parts therapy. As you heal, the more in touch you get with that little child inside. The more you heal the more you believe just like that little boy used to so very long ago. I have healed enough to increase my faith in God and in myself. It is as close to innocent as I can get and it feels good. #cptsd #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #healing #selfbelief

Attachment Issues
TikTok post — 2026-02-14 Attachment Issues: The process of healing my attachment issues has been as painful and as physically scary as the panic attacks I had to face when I remembered the worst of the abuse. It was a slow and painful death that was beyond intense in ways I was not prepared for. I had to feel that abandonment again and it broke me like it did back then. But the me that it broke was just a protective shell. The issues are dead and gone as long as I am able to ground and process first. #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #healingjourney #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

Nebula Eyes
TikTok post — 2026-02-15 Nebula Eyes: The most important thing I have learned about love is that it is something that gets better the longer it lasts. Tough to say but eventually you learn how to connect yourselves correctly and create real intimacy. If not it doesn't last, it sucks but you can only work on you. It takes a lifetime either way. I know what universe my eyes are on. #fyp #healingjourney #HealingJourney #marriage #creatorsearchinsights

End to the Fantasy
TikTok post — 2026-02-15 End to the Fantasy: When I was a kid I used to play alot of make believe games where I went through a portal to another dimension. Someplace safe and somewhere with mountain stream and trees. It was quite the fantasy and far from my reality. Reality collided in middle school and put my make believe into hiding, along with my reliance on anyone to protect me. #creatorsearchinsights #fyp #healingjourney #sasurvivor🖤 #cptsd

Alien Nation
TikTok post — 2026-02-15 Alien Nation: One of the most common characteristics of CPTSD is feeling alienated. Feels like you are from another planet or dimension, it really doesn't matter because it feels the same. This trait stems from abandonment and when unhealed it makes life hell. But healed it becomes a power like this content reminds me of. #abandonment #cptsd #healingjourney #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

Look, Up in the Sky
TikTok post — 2026-02-16 Look, Up in the Sky: This is not a political post, it is still one of healing despite the easy connection to our current social climate. There are two worlds that we live in, the external and the internal. The first is how we are controlled and manipulated by others, the other is how we overcome and stand tall on our own beliefs. The distraction comes when you naturally think that overcoming requires recognition. That is external, that is never going to help. Self reminder, the only recognition that matters is our own. Love is seeing yourself through your own eyes and not theirs. #integration #wellness #selfbelief #fyp #HealingJourney

Shadow Realm
TikTok post — 2026-02-16 Shadow Realm: Digging deep into the shadows on this one. I have always felt like am imposter when I am succeeding or achieving. As if I was disrupting the balance of both space and time because I was not meant to fly like others. It is like an attack by an energy that opposes my light and my flight. As if it was someone I knew who didnt want to let me go? Or a fallen angel that wants me to suffer as well? Either way I dont fly right, I struggle but I dont quit. Even if I never make it off the ground I know that I have helped others fly. Maybe that was the point all along. I am in a supporting role internally and externally. Or maybe I am believing my shadows and fooling myself with self pity. For whatever reason, success in this life doesn't come easy for me and it is always under attack but I am really good at helping others succeed. So this post is my way of looking in the mirror and ending the pity and abandonment. Yes it hurts to struggle and suffer and it is purposeful to help others succeed. #HealingJourney #duality #cptsd #fyp #therapyart

The Who and The Why
TikTok post — 2026-02-16 The Who and The Why: In line with the healing theme for me this morning, this content again helps me build my own identity. Understanding the parts of my consciousness, shadow work, and the origin story of both is making an impact. Grape and SA destroys identity because the trauma shifts us into a fear based mindset. The longer we are stuck there the more splitting we do. So for me to live in this fractured state for all these years created a lot of structural disassociation through all of my conscious parts. Slowly but surely, this knowledge is helping me heal. Why? Because little by little, my emotions no longer define my identify and neither does anything external. #cptsd #healingjourney #sasurvivor🖤 #fyp #mentalhealth

Behind The Mask
TikTok post — 2026-02-16 Behind The Mask: This one is raw, vulnerable and so scary to post. With some AI fun, I painfully captured a moment of grief. The kind of grief that is so deeply a part of you that there is no stopping it's pain. I started grieving at 6, my innocence being the first death in my life. Followed by too many frieds and cousins to sucide and drug overdoses. Then my divorce and then my Dad. 20 years with him gone and grief just keeps coming like waves in the ocean. It has been a big struggle for me my whole life. It shows up in the worst ways and on my worst days. What is inside my thoughts? Here is a open window so you can see that in one room lives the grief for all that I have lost. #innocencelost #sasurvivor🖤 #MentalHealth #fyp #therapyart

Disrepect Effect
TikTok post — 2026-02-16 Disrepect Effect: Not just limerance but longing for anything external will lead you to feel like this photo. Emptiness is created as external attention fills the void of self. Something I cannot go back to now that I woke up. Now the challenge is learning how to still hold love for the people that see me as a villian or an object or a position or title. #fyp #therapyart #mentalhealth #healingjourney #creatorsearchinsights

Release Me
TikTok post — 2026-02-17 Release Me: Opening up my heart to healing what I was hiding for so long is something I am very grateful for today. This wound, and the many that stem from it, is one that too many of us know. It is crazy how many people connect with my healing journey. Therapy Art is a beautiful and powerful part of healing that helps release the darkness and the sadness in me. #healingjourney #cptsd #mentalhealth #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

The Waiting Game
TikTok post — 2026-02-17 The Waiting Game: All I can do and all I have done on this healing journey is hurry up and wait. Patience is not what the waiting is for, Stillness is the key. Time is helping me slow down, take my time and let the healing come to me. I dont know what will come next or if waiting for the rest of my world to align will work. Odds are not in my favor but since I've been defying them my whole life I could care less. At least it's safe here. #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #mentalhealth #cptsd #healingjourney

Kicking It Old School

One More Time
TikTok post — 2026-02-17 One More Time: Silly me looks at this awesome picture and see it as my life. Wash, rinse and repeat on the daily back to this place. The number of times that I "listened to my heart" and wound up destroyed is too high to count. This healing journey, trauma therapy, and the meds were the absolute reasons I avoided my trauma my whole life. So I guess I finally stopped listening to my heart and listened to my soul. Silly Rabbit, a heart that broken could never be right but a soul aligned will heal it just fine. #therapyart #fyp #MentalHealth #HealingJourney #cptsd

Owner Found
TikTok post — 2026-02-17 Owner Found: A lesson learned now that cost me everything I could not buy or steal. Unhealed trauma does not show itself safely and I have fought for and destroyed safety in my relationships too many times to not own it now. The wounds have to heal, abandonment and SA are horrible and there is no way in hell a relationship can survive until that is healed. I bled all over my wife and had to figure it out kicking and screaming for vengeance. Luckily I am way past the worst of it and I can only go forward while learning from past. #futuregoals #lettertomyself #selfreflection #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

Struggle and Flow
TikTok post — 2026-02-18 Struggle and Flow: Yeah all and neither are my imperfections. This is intentionally imperfect AI art to help connect with the fact that I may struggle and it may not look right but I will still get there. That, just like our scars, our struggles and imperfections do not have to define us. They can help us grow but that is about all they need to do. #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #selfreflection #futuregoals #HealingJourney

Freedom Pays its Price
TikTok post — 2026-02-18 Freedom Pays its Price: This album was a fun summer for me back a very long time ago. Like this song, I am free from my past but it left me grieving. The grief can be unbearable at times. The loss is overshadowed by the gains but the Light and shadow play tricks on me most days. Grief triggers abandonment so quickly. I will just watch this video and listen to this song to help me pay the price for my Feedom. #firehorse #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #selfreflection #therapyart

Splitting Hairs
TikTok post — 2026-02-18 Splitting Hairs: It is a perpetual work in progress but my splitting days are mostly behind me for now. Not sure how well I will handle the next trauma or tragedy but I will handle it one way or another. #duality #splitting #HealingJourney #fyp #cptsd

Two Sides to the Coin
TikTok post — 2026-02-18 Two Sides to the Coin: Do not abandon your darkness, your shadows. That pettiness, bitterness, jealousy and envy are a part of who you are. Not a part you like and that is ok, changing it takes time. It starts with understanding how my abandonment wound is at the root and then accepting that we all feel just like we think. Not every feeling deserves a reaction just as much as a thought. Hell, they are kinda one in the same. #HealingJourney #duality #therapyart #selfreflection #fyp

Hey You
TikTok post — 2026-02-18 Hey You: A sideshow of sorts through the wasteland of my company. I have always been on the extreme end of things. A bipolar personality is nothing compared to the polarity of life. It is nice to have special moments but they come at a price. So when you are in my company I usually dont have much to say. It is just safer that way for all of us. #fyp #HealingJourney #cptsd #lettertomyself #creatorsearchinsights

Safety First
TikTok post — 2026-02-18 Safety First: This is a very clear message that is very difficult to implement, especially for people with CPTSD. Why? Because it is unsafe, but the alternative is even worse. So it is something I am learning to do over time. For me I also struggle with controlling the trigger when this happens so I dont just call out the behavior. I lash out and hold people far more accountable table then they deserve because my past is being projected on the situation. In time I will heal and be able to simply assert myself and a boundary instead of tolerating things that hurt me. Or the alternative of burning bridges and fight clubbing. #accountability #tolerance #grace #fyp #cptsd

Anger Management

You Got Some Nerve
TikTok post — 2026-02-18 You Got Some Nerve: The central nervous system was what I learned growing up and through college. It seemed so secondary to our brain and our circulatory system controlled by our heart. I used to think our brains controlled our nervous system just like the heart, boy was I wrong because it is the other way around. That knowledge is some serious healing power if it leads you somatically. So yeah I am in, I see the power of my neurons and nervous system and will focus on being the thinker and the feeler, not my thoughts or my feelings. #selflovejourney #selfdiscovery #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #creatorsearchinsights

Missing Persons
TikTok post — 2026-02-19 Missing Persons: This is the song they played at my Uncle's funeral so it automatically connects to my grief. A house in the woods, may seem simple to most but this is heaven for me. I imagine that house full of the way too many people that I love that passed on. I can smell my grandma's cooking and my Dad barbecuing. Throwing back a few cold ones with my cousins and my friends and just hanging out with my bro Oso. I would defintely be listening to my elders in the other ear, soaking up as much wisdom as I could just like when I was a kid. Grandpa's, Uncles, and my Pops would all be doing the same as us boys. Mmmm I can really smell my grandma's cornbread and taste her homemade pickles. I have been blessed with amazing people and relationships in my life, they haven't all been bad. Just the good ones are dropping like flies but thanks to this healing journey, so are the bad ones. #fyp #HealingJourney #emotionalhealth #creatorsearchinsights #mentalhealth

Fear Factory
TikTok post — 2026-02-19 Fear Factory: My nephew says it all the time, everything you are waiting for is waiting for you on the other side of fear. Little by little I am letting the fear go, the exposure therapy has really helped. These videos and captions with music have really helped. Sharing and connecting with people through this account has helped. As I continue to integrate and get on the other side of fear I hope for the courage to fly when it's time. #fyp #HealingJourney #selfgrowth #cptsd

Hangman
TikTok post — 2026-02-19 Hangman: It is not easy getting through this life with your light on and your heart open. It doesn't take long to learn that the more your try to be right, do right, the more people take advantage. But at the end of this life when accountability slaps you in the face, that is what keeps me hanging on. #selfgrowth #HealingJourney #fyp #mentalhealth #creatorsearchinsights

Sleeping Dogs Lie
TikTok post — 2026-02-19 Sleeping Dogs Lie: Sleep is an interesting part of life. Quite fascinating and profund really, because it is as relieving and therapeutic as it is traumatic and disturbing. At least for me it is, some nights I am so exhausted that 4 to 6 hours of REM sleep is the best thing ever. That requires a CPAP and the ability to breathe through my nose but it's awesome when I get that. The kicker though for me is the sleep I get before or after that (usually after). That is when the worst shit happens and my mind goes into erase mode to protect me. 4AM is an interesting time in the morning, so is 3:33 both have meaning for me. When I am up at 4AM it is because of my programming, that was my alarm time for work for 20 years. Problem is I woke up every morning in a physical panic for those 20 years and that is programmed too. I will often have to get up and go stretch out in my recliner with some binaural music to ground my nervous system. I often stay there until I can stop the flashbacks and any recall (if any) of the nightmares I had. It is crazy to know you had nightmares but not be able to remember them. If I could go back and tell 6 year old me anything it would be its not your fault and you will eventually not remember your nightmares when you wake up. When I wake up at 3:33 though, it is not in a panic and going back to sleep is easy. But that is when I really dream and then wake up in a total tirggered state. Those moments are intense and my dreams are really strange but repetitive. Most days lately, I am up at 5:30am with mild physical fear and my mind is only going about 65 mph instead of it's typical 120 mph. I have a love hate relationship with sleep, at least my years of insomnia are over. I would add that to the list of things to tell 6 year old me. Sleep is a mystery that has meaning, no matter how much we suffer from it. #nightmares #sleepissues #fyp #mentalhealth #HealingJourney

Winner, Winner
TikTok post — 2026-02-19 Winner, Winner: The road less travelled, that high road that requires patience, builds strength and resilience. To win everything is relative, a reality perceived not gained. But we perceive it that way so it is that way. Winning is an outcome, a result and we observe that only. That means we are missing anything more than that, win or lose, either way you see it. Win or lose makes that reality singular, which is never the case. Maybe it is because I coach kids and focus more on their psychosocial development then their athletic development that helps me see more. I think it just pushes me to speak up, I am not saying anything we don't already know. Winning is relative, to me it requires more than any outcome or result. It requires achieving growth, both individually and as a team. For me, this pov makes this quote way more powerful. #HealingJourney #mentalhealth #selfgrowth #creatorsearchinsights #fyp

Phantom of the Opera
TikTok post — 2026-02-20 Phantom of the Opera: One can dream right? Even to my own demise yes. Limerencing myself to sleep I am. Its the drop that hurts the most, the shadows are where I spend most of my days. It is nice, heavenly in fact, when she becomes reality and the shadows fade. That is when the music gets loud and the colors get bright. Before long, the shadows always return and I retreat into the shadows while she turns back into a ghost. #limerence #cptsd #duality #fyp #therapyart

Round and Round
TikTok post — 2026-02-20 Round and Round: This picture was titled Infinite Circles and this song talks about what I like to call the "bang your head against the wall method of learning." That is what CPTSD is for me, just an infinite loop of running into brick walls that keep you from exiting. This condition is currently diagnosed in women far more than men. My therapist thinks that is because most men are like I was and hiding their childhood trauma. I can't argue that logic, technically I was diagnosed in early 2022 when I finally said something about being SA as kid. This condition is just as real for both though and I pray that all of us find peace. I dont know if I will ever get off this carousel so I am just going to have to make my peace here. I am doing my best to just stop before I hit the wall and turn around so I can try again. Metaphorically speaking, Metaphorically dreaming. #fyp #cptsd #therapyart #selfgrowth #creatorsearchinsights

Crazy Horse
TikTok post — 2026-02-20 Crazy Horse: I saw a post that asked is everyone really spiritually woke or are we simply justifying hurtful behavior? I was thrown by the term, normally we say awakening but point made nonetheless. For me, I am awakening to my cptsd, which means I am accepting that it is true and healing from it. Awakenings, spiritual or not require transformation. Not in our way of thinking, more so in our entire way of being. An interesting point for me to be at as I reach my fifties. Not only am I wiser, I am also transforming through trauma healing. All that lining up with the year of the fire horse is crazy so I really like this horoscope. Gives me hope. #selfgrowth #cptsd #HealingJourney #fyp #selfreflection

Bedknobs and Broomsticks
TikTok post — 2026-02-20 Bedknobs and Broomsticks: Sarcasm anyone? Belief has to come first, at least enough to take each Transformational step until I lift off. It is not fake it till you make it. It is Struggle until you make it. Just like this AI animation, it is far from perfect but the result is better than expected. Why run when you can fly? #HealingJourney #firehorse #selfimprovement #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

Self Soothe
TikTok post — 2026-02-22 Self Soothe: Depression is like a warm blanket, on most days, that is very comfortable and familiar. This video and song capture that feeling so well for me, especially at the end as the sun provides hope that the rain could stop. When it does it wont be for long but I am far more scared of the sunshine versus the rain. I love the smell of the rain because it is a familiar pain that I know can't escape anyways. I have had this sadness, this familiar depression since I was little. To be honest, I don't know how to live without it at this point in life. #fyp #depressed #sadness #cptsd #creatorsearchinsights

Opposite Day
TikTok post — 2026-02-22 Opposite Day: This song is so good at calling out the contradictions that we live through. This concept that we can transform yet hold onto the past is a delusion that we all have to wake up from. I have had to make many transformations in my 51 years of life, it is how I overcome my addictions. If I am busy honest, this trauma healing transformation is my way of finally overcoming the source of my addictions. If I can shed my old skin once and for all I hopefully will finally become a stranger to my past self. #fyp #addiction #transformation #selfcare #creatorsearchinsights

Fools Gold
TikTok post — 2026-02-22 Fools Gold: Another piece to help me realize how wrong and backwards my survival instincts are. The music is more focused on stardom or celebrity lifestyle but I cannot help but metaphorically relate. Foolish Pride is self destructive, especiallly when it is fooling you with thinking you are not the problem. #selfcare #cptsd #fyp #HealingJourney #creatorsearchinsights

The Long Way Home
TikTok post — 2026-02-23 The Long Way Home: Lyrics are too good on this one not to use them, seriously one of my all time favorite bands and songs. The connection that I have developed with my wife is beyond profound. It is built through a lot of adversity, struggle and triumph. We have some fond memories and some triggering ones. Mainly because it got so real it triggered us both pretty early on and we trauma bonded our way through the years. There is a codependence between us that we have worked hard to fix. Hopefully we can find our way to coregulating as we go through our own healing journies this year. #fyp #HealingJourney #selfgrowth #duality #cptsd

YHWH
TikTok post — 2026-02-23 YHWH: Here is a Moment to Breathe, to release and let go of whatever is needed to be released currently. Today, for me, it is my shame. I still sit in a triggered state, can't feel safe enough to open up to her. Everything about love is triggering for me and it is rooted in my shame of being abused for 2 years. So today I sway with the leaves and catch my breath when the birds come it. Exhaling shame because it was never mine to begin with. #sasurvivor🖤 #cptsd #HealingJourney #fyp #selfreflection

Poster Child
TikTok post — 2026-02-23 Poster Child: Child abuse, all forms of ir, is one hell of a Teacher. Fake people are dangerous, you never know what they are capable of. Authenticity is mandatory, so is accountability as they interdependent. It is just something you learn really fast when you were abused as a kid. This song triggered me as a teenager when it first came out. First time I heard it was at a party and I just lost it. I was pretty wasted so that didn't help. This is some serious exposure therapy for me.At least with this content I am not alone. #fyp #exposuretherapy #sasurvivor🖤 #cptsd #selfreflection

Chaos Theory
TikTok post — 2026-02-23 Chaos Theory: Life is fragile and creation is a delicate balance of controlled choas. Random events are one of the best ways that I can hear the universe calling. I am learning as I get older that the more I give things to chance, the less random life appears to be. Having CPTSD you might say I can be a control freak. I plan everything, it's my job and my volunteer job so learning to give things to chance isn't easy. It never ceases to amaze me though. So I am grateful for creation and that as random as I may be, I am still love. #cptsd #HealingJourney #selfgrowth #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

Accept
TikTok post — 2026-02-23 Accept: When I finally started being able to observe my thoughts I was in shock like the Church Lady. I was so cruel to myself without even thinking twice about it. I have spent a lot of time working on this and I am learning that my inner critic is not aome I can bury. It is an attempt to connect with my Self for one reason or another. This content is me learning to have a little fun with my inner critic. #innercritic #HealingJourney #selfgrowth #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

Reunited

Sweetbitter
TikTok post — 2026-02-24 Sweetbitter: A very difficult reality that I face daily, and have since I was little, is the fear that hits me like a wave after something good happens. The more beautiful or enjoyable something is the more it scares the hell out of me. The connection that both this video and song make to this struggle helps me process and accept this reality instead of wishing it away. #emotional #MentalHealth #cptsd #fyp #sasurvivor🖤

Iron Lion
TikTok post — 2026-02-24 Iron Lion: Well like most men, I am both strong and weak as I am guilty of bot offenses. What I am learning in my old age is how much better we all respond to encouragement verses criticism. The traditional understanding is that iron sharpens iron so we need to criticize to create the friction to improve. That is true for some but for others it is not. What is true Universally for everyone is accountability with grace. That is how I have changed the way I talk to myself and everyone else, with accountability and grace.

Winter Chill
TikTok post — 2026-02-24 Winter Chill: There is a cold and distant connection that I have with everyone. My Wife and kids are no exception and those are the people I am the closest to. At times I have surrendered to this feeling and other times I surrendered to my family instead. Either way the winter chill is always between me and everyone else. #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #HealingJourney #emotional #sadness

Captain Positive
TikTok post — 2026-02-24 Captain Positive: Ok, chanelling my Pops on this one. That man loved Monty Python, my childhood is full of those movies like Adam Sandler is for my kids. Life is a series of perceptions and perspectives that we develop as we age. There is always both positive and negative lenses for us ti use. Authenticity comes first, then positivity is pure. It helps to find some humor in the pain to get there and this picture just fits. I had fun with this one, the randomness is especially odd and funny in itself. Even if I am the only one laughing. #HealingJourney #fyp #cptsd #creatorsearchinsights #selfreflection

Feel Like I Do
TikTok post — 2026-02-25 Feel Like I Do: For all my empaths out there this one is for you. I actually had someone tell me I lacked the emotional intelligence to be an empath, which mistook my avoidance as Ignorance. I have ignored my abuse and left my trauma Unresolved my whole life but I am still shaped by it. My empath abilities are safety and survival driven and I can observe without absorbing but it is exhausting and draining. #empath #heyokaempath #cptsd #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

Stair Master
TikTok post — 2026-02-25 Stair Master: I failed at healing for so long that I would have never thought I could succeed at it. But then I paid attention to the diagnosis and learned about the power of our nervous system. Slowly over time I developed strong grounding and processing habits, which have led to my success so far with integration. Discipline with breathing and other grounding techniques has made a world of difference. #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #cptsd #selfreflection #HealingJourney

Whats on the Other Side? Intimacy is as horrifying as jumping out of
TikTok post — 2026-02-25 Whats on the Other Side? Intimacy is as horrifying as jumping out of an airplane. Absolutely no reason in the world for you to feel safe except to trust in your parachute. For me, even after all these years together, being married scares me to death. I don't have a parachute, I have attachment issues instead. Every single point in my complex web of triggers is connected to this relationship. That is how it works, just gotta keep showing up one day at a time. I gotta be honest, I have gotten worse over the years so I am out of time, I have to jump. I think I get it finally though, I have to feel that fear and let it take me back to where it came from before it will just be a memory. #HealingJourney #selfgrowth #fyp #duality #creatorsearchinsights

Quantum Quandry
TikTok post — 2026-02-25 Quantum Quandry: It is pretty obvious I am in need of some divine intervention, literally. I hope this content helps me get more in tune with my intimacy frequency. It is so fubar'd though I dont know how to fix it. I have no clue wtf I am doing after 23 years, I just know I can't jump first. The chicken or the egg is my intimacy issues in an Eggshell. The pursuit of Happiness is a hell of a lot easier than this. Hopefully this content helps me find my way. #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #sasurvivor🖤 #exposuretherapy #selfgrowth

A New Hope
TikTok post — 2026-02-25 A New Hope: Despite the fear and confusion I continue to take root into solid ground finally. Although for me one day is not a destination it is definitely a milestone level I would like to achieve. A state of being along this journey that helps me and others heal and love. I am waiting and open for the word to continue to guide me. #selfgrowth #creatorsearchinsights #fyp #HealingJourney #selfreflection

No Changing the Past
TikTok post — 2026-02-25 No Changing the Past: Acceptance is a powerful place to be most of the time. Tolerance is a version of acceptance that can be very unhealthy though. Accepting that I was abused and that my foundation to sex and intimacy and romantic love is based on this abuse no matter how much I have tried to change that, feels horrible. Like I am never going to be OK. Today I am just a floating block of ice hoping that I am at least getting what I need. #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #exposuretherapy

Morphin Time
TikTok post — 2026-02-25 Morphin Time: Trying not to be a shapeshifter anymore but that is learned behavior that is not easy to change. For some it is easy to villify you for this ability and for others it is easy to take advantage of. Either way it is not that easy going against your protective instincts and to be true to yourself. Awareness and Stillness are key, and authenticity is the way. #masking #shapeshifter #traumaresponse #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

UnTangled
TikTok post — 2026-02-25 UnTangled: Yeah you just gotta roll with it baby, no other way but to get from A to B one painful step at a time. Trusting and knowing in time the million paper cuts will become 100K, then 10K, and even 1K really helps tk accept and heal. For me the self abandonment is a focal point as that is responsible for a lot of cuts. That is taking time but definitely working, I have at least learned how to give space to feelings I dont like. #HealingJourney #cptsd #duality #creatorsearchinsights #fyp

Trigger, Trigger on the Wall
TikTok post — 2026-02-25 Trigger, Trigger on the Wall: Triggers are profound emotional and physical experiences that I used to make fun of in my thirties. Paying for that now, they are real and difficult for everyone. What I will never agree with though is a lack of accountability for that trigger. It is loving and compassionate for someone to try not to trigger you or to give you grace as you are accountable but they are our responsibility. They are underneath our CPTSD superpowers and connect us to our shadow. If processed correctly, they will shine a light on the self where your shadow used to be. So to awaken to the awareness of triggers and emotional flashbacks, even after all these years is a new phase, finally. #CapCut

Scarecrow
TikTok post — 2026-02-26 Scarecrow: Pattern recognition is even better as you see the forrest from the trees. I learned very early on in life how to be invisible in a crowd and observe their patterns. I spent as much time watching people as a kid as I did watching TV. Learned behaviors, tones, and how much people do when others are not looking. I am blessed with the power of observation, especially when people don't realize it. #cptsd #traumaresponse #patternrecognition #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

Fight Night
TikTok post — 2026-02-26 Fight Night: Here is a bit of the fight in me, not just the anti-establishment side from my younger years, but the never quit never back down side from years of battling people. I have an impossible reaction that is far worse than people usually see. I choose kindness and compassion but will defend myself till I can't anymore. The fight keeps me safe from everyone but myself. #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #cptsd #selfreflection #MentalHealth

EQ Squared
TikTok post — 2026-02-26 EQ Squared: So this takes emotional intelligence to another level for me. The understanding of primary and secondary emotions was a huge help for me so this next level should help even more. Coherence is a phenomenon I dont really understand but finding our identity in-between these emotions instead of hiding the bad ones should be the first step in gaining this knowledge. The power of duality and loving yourself through both good and bad emotions is what I am trying to achieve. #cptsd #coherence #duality #fyp #HealingJourney

Rock aBye Baby
TikTok post — 2026-02-26 Rock aBye Baby: Sleep is a fickle beast, I have posted a lot of content regarding my issues. The lullaby effect, usually helps me out tremendously, but there are nights where it has the opposite effect. Music triggers emotional flashbacks and memories so sometimes I can spend hours in my head before falling asleep. These are playfully dangerous moments that often involve me disrupting my flashbacks and fear based rabbit holes any way I can. #sleepissues #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 ##healingjourney #fyp

Daniel-San
TikTok post — 2026-02-26 Daniel-San: If you got the CPTSD like dis guy then you know how hard it is to focus. This content provides some practical ways to stay on the ball so I post it to help me focus and be accountable when I dont. Notice not one of the 7 steps includes dissassociating so not doing that is step 0 on how I learn to safely focus. #focus #cptsd #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

Another State of Mind
TikTok post — 2026-02-27 Another State of Mind: Awakening is a great word for this piece of art. Adding some AI and music to this piece amplifies the emotional response it triggers. For me it is trauma therapy that helped me open the Wings of the Phoenix and then connect me with that wounded child inside of me. I finally accepted what I knew all along, I was the answer. The real work is done between sessions so here is the therapy to this art. Avoidance is the problem, acceptance is the way. Open up and let go. #phoenix #transformation #MentalHealth #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

Camera Shy
TikTok post — 2026-02-27 Camera Shy: A little more AI fun, it messed with my sunglasses and my hands but the rest was me. This was at the AYSO National Games opening ceremonies at the LA Galaxy stadium. The boys and us coaches loved the experience. The AYSO Marketing team wanted to get the soccer ball in the picture to showcase the logo so I obliged them. Not my norm, I hate the spotlight and it was not comfortable at all for me. This is why I use it for healing, to expose me so I stop feeling so uncomfortable being seen. One more step. #cptsd #healingjourney #MentalHealth #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

Separation Anxiety
TikTok post — 2026-02-27 Separation Anxiety: For a number of very good reasons, I have battled anxiety pretty much my whole life. I started having panick attacks while being abused and they just got worse over the years. It is a horrible state to be stuck in and the worse it got the more I was fighting to remember why I was anxious. I still have a lot of panick attacks but they are quick and manageable. I can usually breathe them out within a few minutes. Its been close to 18 months, somatic therapy helps the most. Just breathe. Finally getting the hang of riding this white horse. #anxietyhelp #panicattacks #cptsd #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

Poltergeist
TikTok post — 2026-02-27 Poltergeist: This hits me on multiple levels so going to try and keep it simple as I cannot do complex well when I am triggered and trying to process. This life is a journey back to the light, so it hits spiritually first. But then it hits with finding my way home at 19 and the many times I have had to find myself and redefine myself and transform myself in my life so far. It also hits with relationships, the long term ones including the in and out peeps. With other people, we have to be the Prism in their picture blocking out their dark to see the light. Just requires empathic and empathetic abilities. Love is the light. Lastly, it hits cause my CCR was one of my Dad's favorites. Used to listen to them a lot with him as a kid. Sometimes all it takes is a song to make you feel alive. #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #cptsd #transformation #healingjourney

Patience is a Virtue

More Than a Feeling
TikTok post — 2026-02-28 More Than a Feeling: This feeling. This longing. This other world I am on that is real but alone. It is my Babylon. #fyp #cptsd #lonely #disconnected #isolation

Bad Disease
TikTok post — 2026-03-01 Bad Disease: Who puts the Complex in the CPTSD? I do! Just like this art, such a cool piece with more complexity to it than you can absorb. The zoom effect is intentional to help share the complexity that this condition is. There is quite a list of "symptoms" that are really learned behaviors that develop out of survival from complex, repeated abuse. Some days I just want to scream as loud and and as long as I can because I feel like this freaking monster is what lives inside my chest. I know now that it is my nervous system, my frequency and vibration that is out of alignment that makes me feel and behave this way. This complex way driven by fear and protection, defensive strongholds and stubborn opposition. #isolation #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #transformation #healingjourney

Comnon Cents
TikTok post — 2026-03-01 Comnon Cents: I have heard this quote since my mid 30's and man does it still connect for me. Some of us know this truth long before we hear it unfortunately. There is a lot of power in this pov as it is fundamentally, and quite literally, true. Silence and observation are protective skills to stay safe among God knows what. But it also helps with relationships and professionalism too. How? By keeping us curious and not judgemental. #healingjourney #cptsd #fyp #creatorsearchinsights #quote

Footprints
TikTok post — 2026-03-01 Footprints: The ruins are all that remain and in the moonlit darkness the shadows carry the pain. The man in the cloak remembers his name and the crow actually dares to know the same. Midnight before the dawn of a new day and in my hour of darkness this is all I need to say. Once there was a wolf who led a lamb astray. #fyp #cptsd #healingjourney #sasurvivor🖤 #isolation

Wake-Up Call
TikTok post — 2026-03-01 Wake-Up Call: Tough night making for a rough morning. Woken up at 3AM from a horrible nightmare. The abandonment wound wide open and the tears just unstoppable. Up and trying to dissasociate and rot, 3:33 hits so I put my phone down and just open up for guidance, answers or at least healing. With tears still rolling down my face I know what is wrong and what I need to do. Just need to take my time and be patient for those doors to close and windows to open. #isolation #healingjourney #cptsd #fyp #transformation

Look What I Can Do
TikTok post — 2026-03-02 Look What I Can Do: Having a lot more fun with AI, took one of my early posts that include song lyrics I wrote, and made a song. I love it, gives me chills and tears and a chance to really f'ing scream. Some therapy art on steroids, healing out loud in a new way. #cptsd ##HealingJourney #CapCut #fyp #MentalHealth

Pudding Pops
TikTok post — 2026-03-02 Pudding Pops: So a bit of an off pudding satirical way of expressing my struggles with romantic connection. #fyp #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #healingjourney #MentalHealth

Cry it Out
TikTok post — 2026-03-03 Cry it Out: The song is called You Let It Go and it is for the heartbreaking reality of healing a trauma bond and losing everything in the process. At least they all grew, every last one of them. #CapCut #HealingJourney #fyp #cptsd #transformation

Circle of Life
TikTok post — 2026-03-03 Circle of Life: Look to self and find the way to somehow overcome our own ignorance. We eventually figure it out. the older and wiser we get, pain is the best teacher. Knowing that it is all connected and time is a construct help us reach our unlimited potential. Its not about luck, or chance, and especially not privilege. Its about perception. #transformation #cptsd #fyp #HealingJourney #duality

Kiss My Grits
TikTok post — 2026-03-03 Kiss My Grits: Yeah someday. This song has haunted me throughout the years and the quote really explains why. Bitterness isn't the word for it but it is similar. Unhealed is more like it and that is a miracle in itself that I can admit that now. #HealingJourney #fyp #transformation #cptsd #creatorsearchinsights

Love Story
TikTok post — 2026-03-03 Love Story: The way, the truth and the life right? So the duality in me with God is I believe because Free Agency, the fall, and the Christ are more of a love story than anything else I know. I dont see God in churches. I see pain. I didnt see God in the scriptures until I realized that if he can speak to me through music and Nature, he can through scripture. To open up to his word is also a big rebellion against religion. I am the last person they want reading the Bible. God is Love and everywhere, they are who we need them to be until we meet them again. What a glorious ending to the journey. Just need to cross over through redemption. #redemptionsong #forgiveness #fyp #cptsd #HealingJourney

Me
TikTok post — 2026-03-04 Me: This content is perfect but has been in my drafts for weeks. Alignment happend as I have been geeking out today making AI music. My daughter is the inspiration for the title of this post. This is me right now, having some genx look what I can do Dad fun. Stuff I have had for years locked up in my head and hidden in my writings. Posting has always been about healing and I love having multiple creative outlets for my scream therapy. #HealingJourney #therapyart #fyp #cptsd #MentalHealth

Heinsight
TikTok post — 2026-03-04 Heinsight: Light up the halo cause this one is going to burn. One of the fundamental rules is to let everything of value come to you. Healing is value in time and only those that receive it will align. Trick is to look inside and let it go. #cptsd #MentalHealth #HealingJourney #therapyart #fyp

Heart on My Sleeve
TikTok post — 2026-03-04 Heart on My Sleeve: This is a song is titled Harmony Screams and its about what it feels like living with your heart on your sleeve. It hurts and it makes you suffer but love does not want me to change. I am pushed, pulled and drawn to leave this heart of mine open. #CapCut #fyp #therapyart #HealingJourney #cptsd

Circus Tent
TikTok post — 2026-03-04 Circus Tent: Well I titled this song Forsaken, it is something powerful for me. The emotions I am having as I pour my soul out in these songs is crazy. So high it scares the hell out of me because I am more vulnerable than ever. But hey its my healing and my scream therapy art so I am really not even off the ground. #CapCut #HealingJourney #CapCut #therapyart #fyp

SOS

Control Box
TikTok post — 2026-03-05 Control Box: Well there we have it, a lesson learned at 18 that has made one hell of a difference for me. When I hit rock bottom or the rug gets pulled out from under me, or even when I get stabbed in the back, I look at my choices. It is something I even factored into my abuse until trauma therapy. Our choices make our world go round. #MentalHealth #cptsd #HealingJourney #therapyart #fyp

Left Naked
TikTok post — 2026-03-05 Left Naked: Let the day come to you as they say, a lesson I am getting on repeat these days. Doing my best to rest, heal, and embrace this new found light in me that is starting to grow. It is uncomfortable as hell, I am so vulnerable. Just keep telling myself I can handle whatever tries to hurt me. #fyp #therapyart #HealingJourney #cptsd #transformation

Moving On
TikTok post — 2026-03-05 Moving On: That is what it looks like, that is what it feels like. Leaving the shame behind instead of my past this time. #healingmusic #sasurvivor🖤 #transformation #fyp #creatorsearchinsights

Its a Trap! This is another reminder piece for me as I pay attention
TikTok post — 2026-03-06 Its a Trap! This is another reminder piece for me as I pay attention to where I am at in the infinite staircase. I am wrapping around my adolescent years going back to heal wounds that were self inflicted. My response to the SA as a kid once I was about 12 was FTW. I tagged it ever, didn't give 2 shits about anything. Especially if I lived or died and I lived recklessly and dangerously. I fell in with the wrong crowd and when I finally hit rock bottom a few years later it hurt as bad as the abandonment did as a kid. My anger disguised as protection lied to me. It put me in a whole new world of danger. Thank God for second chances and the healing of my wounds as I get older. I have this monster under control finally. #fyp #transformation #sasurvivor🖤 #cptsd #HealingJourney

The Art of War
TikTok post — 2026-03-06 The Art of War: This song is titled "The One Who Won" and talks about winning the fight but losing the love in the process. Marriage is messy, the more you love someone the more they trigger you. If unchecked and unhealed it is beyond toxic, I am that monster. Sad thing is so is she, but in her own ways and for her own reasons. We have to choose every day over accountability and winning in our closest relationships. It is foundational to love with free agency and sin. There is no love without accountability as it is the doorway to grace. #CapCut #cptsd #fyp #therapyart #healingjourney

Wyld Stallyons
TikTok post — 2026-03-06 Wyld Stallyons: I absolutely love this riff, just instantly connects with me emotionally and physically. It makes me hold my breath and just clench up and then let go as it kicks in and exhale. The song is titled Harmony Screams, which is something I feel right down in my Cptsd. #healingjourney #therapyart #fyp #cptsd #healingmusic

Lonely Bones
TikTok post — 2026-03-06 Lonely Bones: This melody just feels like the warm blanket of Solitude for me. It has been with me for some time, to hear it played out loud is pretty amazing. It was guitar tab on sheet music paper I printed, just the skeleton of what is playing. I isolated it for this content as it captures those painful isolating moments that are so healing. Some sarcasm and snarkiness in the lyrics but that is the nature of this song. Get the pun? #healingmusic #cptsd #fyp #HealingJourney #creatorsearchinsights

Crisis Hotline
TikTok post — 2026-03-07 Crisis Hotline: Well this middle aged man is having too much fun playing fantasy games here but the goal was an artistic one. This song is about the horrible heartbreak you go through with limerance and an avoidant. Great way to step into the Light, no shame no fear and yes I am laughing at myself but the healing this song and video bring is worth all the embarrassment any day. #lookwhaticando #CapCut #fyp #cptsd #HealingJourney

Paradigm Shift
TikTok post — 2026-03-08 Paradigm Shift: This, yeah this right here, has been one of my highest and most difficult priorities since 2022 when they told me I had fractures in my back. I am better in a lot of ways, all because I try to get at least 15 min every morning to sit still. Alot times I will put on some binaural music and just sit. As uncomfortable or comfortable as it may be, every morning. At least 15 min but lately I am up to an average of 30 min. If something happens I find another time in the day to pause, everything. It is a micro change that has changed everything. So yeah I have finally reached the step where I can blast this one loud and proud, so my volume is all the way up. #healingjourney #cptsd #fyp #healingmusic #therapyart

Repeat Cycle
TikTok post — 2026-03-08 Repeat Cycle: The recovery, the healing, and the peace comes from self. It is horrible and beautiful with as much physical pain as anything else. Limerance is such a romantic word for it, but it literally hurts like hell. For me it has been with every relationship. A love sick fool with one hell of an anger shark swimming in his brain. #therapyart #healingmusic #fyp #cptsd #healingjourney

Buried Treasure
TikTok post — 2026-03-08 Buried Treasure: Latest track off the upcoming album, its a fast paced piece I have had with me since my divorce back in the year 2000. Feeling so lost inside was how it always started and it was a basic chord Progression I could ever only hear in my head. These lyrics are words written as I finally accepted that religion and church wasnt for me. It was an experience to say the least, surprising the hell out of me. Funny thing is it still took 20 plus more years before I would finally start healing the trauma that made all the churches and religions fake. All the versions and all the years later, this song is a living part of me that now others can hear as well. #CapCut

My Own Prison
TikTok post — 2026-03-08 My Own Prison: This song speaks a lot to my struggles sleeping. It includes a perspective of marriage, sleeping in the same bed sometimes but with separate blankets and sections. It should to be a place of comfort and physical rest but now it is where I am forsaken, left naked and where the dead come alive in my nightmares. #healingjourney #cptsd #healingmusic #therapyart #fyp

Another Dimension
TikTok post — 2026-03-08 Another Dimension: That is definitely what it feels like on this road less travelled. I have always felt like I am from another planet, realm, or time. I don't vibe well with the collective energy of societies and communities today. I even struggle with my very, very small circle of friends and family. It seems to be more about winning than serving. More about being blessed versus sacrificing for others. Just a different energy than I prefer even though I am still learning how to not be like everyone else. #fyp #therapyart #healingmusic #cptsd #healingjourney

They are Thee
TikTok post — 2026-03-09 They are Thee: This song is one I wrote a while back as I finally learned where to turn to get back home. It was within, alone and through plenty of storms and failures I got there. They and he is they are three, they are love in trinity. If you make it to the end if the video you will know what I mean. #CapCut #acomplexhealing #cptsd #HealingJourney #fyp

Sweet Serenity
TikTok post — 2026-03-09 Sweet Serenity: A simple yet powerful piece of content that gives me strength and peace. Water, trees, green nature all round me. Yes please, I could stay here all day. #fyp #HealingJourney #cptsd #therapyart #MentalHealth

Passed is the Past
TikTok post — 2026-03-10 Passed is the Past: A beautiful picture with an equally amazing part of my latest song that captures the passing of life and time. Days like today, when loved ones are fighting for their lives in the ICU and on life support, really help feel the painful beauty in this content. #fyp #HealingJourney #cptsd #MentalHealth #acomplexhealing

Feelings
TikTok post — 2026-03-10 Feelings: Yeah them damn feelings, they create shadows that require us to shine a light on in order to heal from. Shadow work is really accountability, painful, brutal accountability. Have to remember the grace at some point, in the meantime just need to understand why I feel these feelings. #feelings #lostandfound #fyp #acomplexhealing #MentalHealth

Chapter Won
TikTok post — 2026-03-10 Chapter Won: Well second to the last song to share from the upcoming album. This one is a little over 7 minutes so the video is a bit of an Epic if you can make it. It is artistically necessary though, as this song is about my complex healing journey and starts with some of my old tiktok's in new ways. I love it, this is a moment in time where I am able to reflect on this trauma therapy journey. #fyp #cptsd #CapCut #sasurvivor🖤 #acomplexhealing

Free Thinking

Mystery Theater
TikTok post — 2026-03-11 Mystery Theater: Relationships are life's greatest mystery and chalkenge and journey. Don't get me wrong, our individual journies are critical but nothing alone is as great as together. #CapCut #fyp #MentalHealth #cptsd #acomplexhealing

Moment of Music
TikTok post — 2026-03-12 Moment of Music: Yeah just breathe..........I could listen to the Nelson's as much as the Marley's. I am just going to sit here and breathe. #fyp #cptsd #acomplexhealing #MentalHealth #therapyart

The End of Chapter Won
TikTok post — 2026-03-12 The End of Chapter Won: Last song off the Chapter Won album. The song is an anthem to help create a motivation to keep pressing on despite the pain, depite the opposition. #CapCut #therapyart #MentalHealth #acomplexhealing #cptsd

Healing through Music
TikTok post — 2026-03-12 Healing through Music: Such a powerful way to heal that so many of us rely on. So a simple clip to help me escape the chaos in my head by going to a happy place and just breathing with healing music. I am going somatic. #musictherapy ##healingmusic #mentalhealth #cptsd #fyp

Another Version
TikTok post — 2026-03-13 Another Version: The first of my remixes or creative versions of my first songs. Have a mirroring album to go with Chapter WON so a little duality with my musical healing journey. For this one it is a slightly different version adding a darker more emotional pain to the content. A broken tv screen seemed the best fit. I stare at it like I fell asleep and left the TV on. #CapCut #healingmusic #musictherapy #cptsd #therapyart

Weighted Blanket
TikTok post — 2026-03-13 Weighted Blanket: The reality of reality sometimes is just heavy. Makes you tired, especially when it comes to failed relationships. That is one tough part of living so long without healing, I have nothing but failed relationships in my life. I am getting better and learning to build better relationships with my closest people. I just need a million more days like this one before it will change. #cptsd #fyp #mentalhealth #acomplexhealing #HealingJourney

Far Too Common
TikTok post — 2026-03-13 Far Too Common: So this remix version of Forsaken goes deep and shares why I have sleep issues. So many of us live with the shame of abuse I wanted to make this universal. SA victims are found in every sex, creed, and color. But that also means the opposite is true. Love is universal. #CapCut #acomplexhealing #sasurvivor🖤 #fyp #cptsd

Raw and UnCut
TikTok post — 2026-03-13 Raw and UnCut: In the wise words of Lukas Nelson, this content "gets down to the heart of the matter." (great song) Being exposed and violated at such a young age by the most inappropriate videos and acts and playtime games really messed me up. This song always made me feel not so alone with that and now so does this content. #sasurvivor🖤 #cptsd #fyp #acomplexhealing #HealingJourney

Music Heals
TikTok post — 2026-03-14 Music Heals: Journey on is what I feel with this part of the song. The solo speaks to me, pulls me forward and shines light on the path. It is the healing power of music, it invokes an emotional connection and response that gives us what we need to move forward. It is how I know that God's word is not just written on paper by men. It is all around us and love is found in the sound. #HealingJourney #fyp #cptsd #mentalhealth #musictherapy

Remix Spotlight
TikTok post — 2026-03-18 Remix Spotlight: Been a few days, my baby sis was in a horrible car accident and has been in a coma. She is out now and on a long road of recovery for a serious brain injury. It has been a hell of a last 8 days. I am here by her side finally, had to travel but this one is for her. She likes everyone of my videos and comments often. She also is the one that told me so what if I was a middle aged gen x dad making tiktoks and AI music, "heal out loud bro!" Love ya sis and so glad you are still with us. #cptsd #familyfirst #CapCut ##acomplexhealing #fyp

Universal Healing
TikTok post — 2026-03-18 Universal Healing: This song is universal. Both in message and sound. It broke barriers and possibly the Berlin Wall. It was a perfect match for this picture turned AI video and message. I heal out loud. I scream out loud. And now the whole world hears me, but only a few will listen. #fyp #acomplexhealing #cptsd #musictherapy #HealingJourney

The Return
TikTok post — 2026-03-18 The Return: Let the old soul be your guide, finding our way back to ourselves is that Return this song so hauntingly longs for. This is like the ultimate mission impossible but the old man showed up and time is a wasting. #HealingJourney #cptsd #fyp #therapyart #healingmusic

Returning Home
TikTok post — 2026-03-19 Returning Home: An important part in the song, especially with this remix version, to highlight and share. It the pivotal point in the journey. So much learned and gained. The biggest and most important lesson? Breathing and Stillness. Not any easier but I dont care, it is how to find yourself and your light and your truth. Sit still until you see it, that is what I have learned in 18 months of trauma, somatic, cognitive and exposure therapy. #healingmusic #acomplexhealing #fyp #cptsd #HealingJourney

Longing and Belonging
TikTok post — 2026-03-20 Longing and Belonging: Until I Found You is a song that is open to some interpretation but it ultimately points to a force that was missing in my life. Whether that is self. love. god. The message is the same because without those three things I am lost. Funny thing is all you really need are the bookends, self and god are all the love we need to live. #HealingJourney #cptsd #fyp #acomplexhealing #healingmusic

Keeping it Real
TikTok post — 2026-03-20 Keeping it Real: A nice connection between art, this one is a bit mystical and magical on the surface but that is intentional. It is easy for us to believe in something to dress an unhealed wound, but you can't fill a bucket with holes in it. To Thine Own self be true, especially when healing. Nothing external will fix the abandonment, that you have to do yourself. #fyp #cptsd #HealingJourney #therapyart #mentalhealth

Masters of Reality
TikTok post — 2026-03-21 Masters of Reality: A balance between our light and dark helps us to maintain our role as the thinker. It provides alot of peace to accept our duality. #mentalhealth #therapyart #HealingJourney #cptsd #fyp

You Let It Go
TikTok post — 2026-03-21 You Let It Go: Latest remix version, one of my favorites as it fit so well with the chorus. It is a song and video about ending the limerance and healing the abandonment wound that nearly destroyed everything I loved. Thank god for accountability. #CapCut #cptsd #HealingJourney #fyp #acomplexhealing

Role Reversal
TikTok post — 2026-03-21 Role Reversal: Playing Uno reverse with the darkness, learning to accept it and use that energy to help me create more light. The symbolism here is magical, literally as that was all I had as a kid to survive. My imagination was the light from the dark and reading was how I escaped. #acomplexhealing #fyp #acomplexhealing #HealingJourney #cptsd

Bringing on the Heartbreak
TikTok post — 2026-03-22 Bringing on the Heartbreak: This remix version takes an approach to share the pain of an abandonment wound ripped open by heartbreak. The visual effect is the cancer that the abandomnet wound is so a really cool artistic representation. It is not easy separating the two, no matter how many times your heart gets broken. #CapCut #cptsd #HealingJourney #acomplexhealing #fyp

Darkened Melodies
TikTok post — 2026-03-22 Darkened Melodies: The Beatles were my Dad's favorite band, he had all their records and listened to them for hours at a time. I remember after the abuse by my neighbor started their music sounded different. This was one of the saddest songs I ever heard, this content shares why. I will never hear it any different, how I react to it is what is changing. #fyp #HealingJourney #cptsd #therapyart #sasurvivor🖤

Mission Impossible
TikTok post — 2026-03-22 Mission Impossible: Just a reminder, haven't done one in a minute here, of how to get to the right road. Seek the self, anything real will be found within. But you have to have a clear lens, be accountable and you will find your way. #cptsd #HealingJourney #fyp #acomplexhealing #healingmusic

Parallelogram
TikTok post — 2026-03-23 Parallelogram: I Dont want to stay the same, even if I peak tomorrow I want to get better. Never done. never quit. Never stop evolving. We are still so far from love that healing journies like mine are way more common than we think. Healing out loud. Loving Universal, as difficult as it is, is always going to be at best a journey that never ends. I hope it continues on, anyways change is universal so here's to not staying the same. #healingmusic #acomplexhealing #fyp #acomplexhealing #HealingJourney

Double Negative
TikTok post — 2026-03-24 Double Negative: The connection between this song and Both Sides of the mirror is the focus of this remix version and video. I am sure it works different for everyone but waking up to our own limerance is a horrible painful process. #CapCut #HealingJourney #acomplexhealing #healingmusic #fyp

Screaming With Vengeance
TikTok post — 2026-03-25 Screaming With Vengeance: All it takes is a little patience, this one is worth the wait. Especially if you are an Iron Maiden fan. Brave New world is something that is very real for me now. Being in tense situations, stressful and confrontational ones too, is very different now. My Dragon is fierce and swift, it will create quite the storm but only when necessary. Not when provoked. Only when necessary. #fyp #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #therapyart #MentalHealth

Old Habits Due Hard
TikTok post — 2026-03-25 Old Habits Due Hard: I dont post enough about the other trauma responses. Fight or flight are easy but the frozen reaction is crazy. It gets triggered so fast and it just keeps me stuck. By default I do start to drift away in my mind like I used to and catch myself most times. #MentalHealth #therapyart #sasurvivor🖤 #cptsd #fyp

Upon My Return
TikTok post — 2026-03-26 Upon My Return: Back home finally after 10 days with my sis. She is doing great abd on a road to a full recovery. I am back in my happy place, going to enjoy this for a minute. #fyp #cptsd #therapyart #MentalHealth #HealingJourney

Read Between the Chalk Outlines
TikTok post — 2026-03-28 Read Between the Chalk Outlines: A slower, more dramatic and cleaner version of The Road Less Travelled. This helps show the wear and the tear of taking this more challenging road. Trauma therapy is not widely used enough, accountability is avoided and emotions are managed when that happens. Through trauma therapy I have learned that emotions are to be felt, not managed. It is emotionally Ignorant to do this you, can't just change how you feel. Accountability is healing. So a song I love in a slightly different version to highlight how fun and important the choice is to go somatic. #CapCut #HealingJourney #cptsd #fyp #therapyart

Tism to Tism
TikTok post — 2026-03-28 Tism to Tism: From Fire to ice is often how quick the triggers and flashbacks can be. When the transition from hot to cold is too fast that is when my body starts uncontrollably shivering in a very frantic panic attack. This music and imagery represents that transition really well. #therapyart #cptsd #fyp #HealingJourney #MentalHealth

Catalyst
TikTok post — 2026-03-28 Catalyst: The day that time stood still for me was that morning my wife told me what was happening to our daughter. Just a moment to help me release more of the pain. #MentalHealth #HealingJourney #fyp #cptsd #therapyart

Never Quit
TikTok post — 2026-03-29 Never Quit: The next of my remixes, a little bit of a vibe over this one to help share the dark side to being found, which is how many times I failed trying. But like the water the just keeps babbling like a brook, i nwver quit. #CapCut #therapyart #cptsd #fyp #HealingJourney

Amaze Me
TikTok post — 2026-03-31 Amaze Me: You know that feeling, those moments that you wish would last forever? We should all have at least one amd they are usually the simplest moments. Like this content, reminding me to stay in the moment so I can be amazed. Four winds, a cool phrase and song Idea from one of the best modern voices out there. Going to let it repeat a few times. #HealingJourney #fyp #cptsd #therapyart #MentalHealth

Under Water
TikTok post — 2026-03-31 Under Water: Drown with me, drown with me. Just, drown with me, drown with me. This is my favorite part of the song, where the waves crash down and the current pulls you under. Life does it over and over again. The violin has a way feeling this pain, which is why I use it in the remix with a reggae beat. I actually love the blend of violins and reggae, with this song especially. The fun with these remix versions is I can sharpen the emotions a bit. #MentalHealth #therapyart #cptsd #fyp #HealingJourney

Suffer and Redeem
TikTok post — 2026-03-31 Suffer and Redeem: This has always been one of my all time favorite songs by one of my all time favorite artists. But it is just as much about suffering and it is redemption, which was the best thing about Bob Marley. Duality, before it was a terminal so widely known. Always a duality. Just like this well I keep going back to, over and over again. #HealingJourney #fyp #therapyart #MentalHealth #healingmusic

Alpha-Beta
TikTok post — 2026-04-01 Alpha-Beta: Ok it is almost ready, just gotta finish up on the site. Fix quite a few bugs, especially with media playback. I need beta testers to help me fix what I dont see wrong yet. Also need feedback on prices and quality of content. Although it is a Neverending work in progress, my story and my journey are told and close to being shared. As I say in the song Silent Screams, "I screamed and now the whole world hears me." Thank you to everyone who keeps pushing me to scream and heal out loud! #healingmusic #MentalHealth #therapyart #HealingJourney #fyp

Take 2
TikTok post — 2026-04-01 Take 2: It wasnt sitting right with other people's music, so this time I post it right. There are a lot of new songs and writings on my site worth checking out for free while I need testers and reviewers. DM me if you are interested or click on the link in my bio to join. #fyp #musictherapy #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #therapyart

Crash Cymbal
TikTok post — 2026-04-02 Crash Cymbal: Another favorite off the Chapter Won remix album, an acoustic version of the first song I made with suno. Seems so cheesy but man to hear your own words back to melodies that were trapped in your head is a whole new level of healing. The lyrics were in a post way back around the 300 range. Just the words no music, I defintely found the right voice for these words. I am so glad no one answered that post. I just put some random clips together for this video, random happy accident because the symbolism hits for me. Ironically symbolic. #CapCut #therapyart #cptsd #fyp #HealingJourney

Almost Ready
TikTok post — 2026-04-03 Almost Ready: Technically the site is there and accounts can be created. No cost at this time so dont try to buy anything. But check out my book previews, music and i put my titktok music videos up there too. With a few clicks everything but the app can be viewed. I am working on a few apps and need beta testers. If you have a lot of tiktok content, the Data analyst App I am finishing is an easy to use Content Management System. DM me if you are interested in testing it with me. #HealingJourney #fyp #musictherapy #MentalHealth #acomplexhealing

End Chapter Won
TikTok post — 2026-04-04 End Chapter Won: Last of the Chapter Won remixes, a pop rock version to make it really stick in your head. Willing something to happen as big as Transformation requires repetition. This is a video that plays on repeat when I am working. Always helps me with the willing part, regardless if how capable or not I might be. #motivation #CapCut #musictherapy #fyp #HealingJourney

Chapter True
TikTok post — 2026-04-04 Chapter True: First song shared off the second album, went with a universal theme for the video. It is punny and I want the voices up front and center. This is the first of a few duets, my persona was able to occasionally adapt to the style. We need more duets, AI slop or not.. The message. the word, is Universal. #CapCut #loveisuniversal #fyp #musictherapy #HealingJourney

Energizer
TikTok post — 2026-04-08 Energizer: Such a great opening lick that just never ends, which is like it feels if we see something as beautiful as this AI video. The pursuit is relentless and the music feels that truth as much as I do. #HealingJourney #musictherapy #fyp #motivation #MentalHealth

Eyes Like Flies
TikTok post — 2026-04-08 Eyes Like Flies: This intro and opening line says it all, I did my best to capture that feeling. We are all human and we all sin, but in the eye of the Beholder only. Perception is a tricky skill to maneuver but one way that works is to develop eyes like flies. #MentalHealth #motivation #fyp #musictherapy #HealingJourney

Hyper-Aware
TikTok post — 2026-04-08 Hyper-Aware: Yeah this one gets you going a bit like an old 80's rock concert. Enough modern edge to it though and lyrically it is a guide to what it feels like to be hypervigilant all the freakin time. It helps me make peace with it and reminds me to go somatic. #CapCut #HealingJourney #musictherapy #fyp #motivation

Cause and Effect
TikTok post — 2026-04-10 Cause and Effect: Next track off the Chapter True album, this one is called Ripples in the Water. Life is cause and effect and we need to figure out how to forgive both. Or at least I do or I will drown. #CapCut #fyp #acomplexhealing #HealingJourney #musictherapy

Spider Sense
TikTok post — 2026-04-11 Spider Sense: Yeah that feeling is electric at times. creepy and on alert. Hypervigilance helps and hurts at the same time, but ends up hurting more than it's worth. This song, especially the intro, is just trying to share that physical sensation that 1000 papercuts feels like. The suspense rests in the melody and timing, I cant sit still listening to it. At least for now, eventually the exposure will work to my benefit. #fyp #cptsd #healingmusic #HealingJourney #musictherapy

Headbangers Ball
TikTok post — 2026-04-11 Headbangers Ball: It is not easy accepting what we know let alone all that we feel. Accepting that we cant just change how we feel by wanting to or forcing and faking it Till you make it. The water doesnt lie, Ripples hide the truth inside. the best part of the song, cant help but bang my head a bit every time. #musictherapy #HealingJourney #healingmusic #cptsd #fyp

Praise in the Storm
TikTok post — 2026-04-12 Praise in the Storm: This was is a fun little barn burner throwback to 80's Christian Rock (for any Stryper fans). It is a real part of the journey for me though, in my worst and most painful moments I give praise. It is very human and only part of what I feel but I do appreciate that if I can praise God through the storm then I will be able to grow from the storm. One of my favorite things I havw learned along this therapy journey is the gift of breath. It connects us to life. and it is how we say the name. #CapCut #yahweh #ywhw #healingmusic #fyp

TRIGGER WARNING
TikTok post — 2026-04-14 TRIGGER WARNING: This is as real as it gets, this song was where I really finally opened up all the way. Those doors thar were locked shut for 40 years removed finally. The song says it all so I will just echo the last line......"I Screamed and Now the Whole World hears me." #CapCut #sasurvivor🖤 #cptsd #healingmusic #fyp

The Big Reveal
TikTok post — 2026-04-15 The Big Reveal: This is what it feels like to both 6 year old me and 52 year old me. #fyp #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #HealingJourney #musictherapy

Core Wounds
TikTok post — 2026-04-15 Core Wounds: These silent screams are undefeated and tonight I take my soul........

Red Dawn
TikTok post — 2026-04-17 Red Dawn: If you know the movie then you likely will get the connection. It is bittersweet and everything that matters all at once. Love is why. #CapCut #musictherapy #HealingJourney #fyp #therapyart

Beautiful Madness
TikTok post — 2026-04-19 Beautiful Madness: I call this one Hammer or the Nail, it is a face melter if you can make it to the end. I have to let it play every time though, this one feels really good for me. Healing and headbanging fun for sure. #CapCut #therapyart #fyp #HealingJourney #cptsd

Hammer or the Nail
TikTok post — 2026-04-19 Hammer or the Nail: Does it really matter? It is a rhetorical metaphor for a song, a question that cannot be answered about how abuse destroys, or really fractures, Identity. Best part of the video and song IMO so had to let it stand on it own to help share the meaning. #cptsd #HealingJourney #fyp #therapyart #sasurvivor🖤

Sneak a Peak
TikTok post — 2026-04-19 Sneak a Peak: Here is a just a quick peak into the first chapter of The Prologue just the first paragraph or so. The site has 5 page prevews of each book, plenty of content up there to review. The storytelling is evolving but the music is all there now. Alot to still write and edit as we are going all the way to Chapter Zen to stay toe to toe with the music. Healing isn't linear and neither is my journey so the storytelling has to match. #therapyart #fyp #HealingJourney #fyp #acomplexhealing

Healing Chords
TikTok post — 2026-04-21 Healing Chords: This one is purely open to interpretation. #CapCut #HealingJourney #cptsd #therapyart #musictherapy

Sunlight is the Cure
TikTok post — 2026-04-22 Sunlight is the Cure: A song about depression that uses both sarcasm and hope to provide healing. Using a saying from an old boss of mine, Sunlight is the best disinfectant, meaning transparency is the best way to heal. Accountability, that real kind that is only between you and you, is where we need the most healing, or transparency, or as my old boss would say, Sunlight. #CapCut #depression #cptsd #healingjourney #healingmusic

Keeping the Peace
TikTok post — 2026-04-23 Keeping the Peace: Last song from the Chapter True album that puts the complex in the cptsd. The cycle of self abandonment is based out of survival, or fear. To give space for how you feel, no matter how much you disagree is where the real peace is found. #CapCut #healingjourney #cptsd #therapyart #MentalHealth

Hammer Time
TikTok post — 2026-04-24 Hammer Time: First of the Chapter True Remix versions, a except from the book for this one is the best caption I can add. I used to think it was one or the other. That I was either the one being affected, or the one responding. Either the one holding everything together, or the one dealing with what came at me. That was easier. Cleaner. It gave me a way to organize things. To understand where I stood. But the deeper I’ve gone into this, the harder it’s been to hold onto that. Because it isn’t one or the other. It never was. I can see that now. Not just in theory. In real time. In the way I respond to things as they happen. There are moments where something shifts inside me before I even have time to think. A reaction forms. Fast. Automatic. #CapCut #fyp #acomplexhealingjourney #therapyart #healingjourney

Breathe There’s a point where understanding stops working.
TikTok post — 2026-04-26 Breathe There’s a point where understanding stops working. Not completely. But enough to notice. Enough to feel the edge of it. I’ve spent most of this process trying to make sense of what’s happening. Tracing patterns. Recognizing responses. Connecting what I feel now to what I’ve experienced before. And that’s helped. It’s given structure to something that felt chaotic. It’s made things clearer in a way they weren’t before. But there’s a limit to that. A point where the mind reaches as far as it can go— and something is still there. Something that doesn’t organize. Something that doesn’t fully translate. Something that exists outside of explanation. That’s where I am now. Sitting in it. Not confused. Not lost. Just aware that I’m not in control of this the way I thought I could be. That’s not an easy realization. #CapCut #healingjourney #therapyart #fyp #cptsd

Keeping Us Safe
TikTok post — 2026-04-26 Keeping Us Safe: I used to think peace was something I created. Something I earned by getting everything right. If I stayed ahead of things, if I managed my reactions, if I kept everything within a range I could control, then things would stay steady. That was the goal. Stability. No disruption. No escalation. No moments that felt like they might get out of control. And when things did stay steady, I called that peace. But it wasn’t. It was management. It was effort. It was constant adjustment to make sure nothing moved too far in any direction. That’s not peace. That’s control. And control has a cost. It takes attention. It takes energy. It takes a constant awareness of everything happening around me so I can stay ahead of it. #CapCut #fyp #MentalHealth #healingjourney #wellness

Sunlight is the Cure
TikTok post — 2026-04-28 Sunlight is the Cure: I didn’t avoid it because I didn’t care. I avoided it because I did. That’s the part I’m starting to understand now. Because if something doesn’t matter, you don’t build your life around not feeling it. You don’t create systems to manage it. You don’t develop patterns to stay ahead of it. You don’t carry it in ways you don’t even recognize. You just move on. But this wasn’t something I moved on from. It was something I moved around. Carefully. Consistently. Without fully realizing that’s what I was doing. I didn’t think of it as avoidance. I thought of it as staying functional. Keeping things together. Keeping things moving. Keeping things from getting to a point where they felt unmanageable. And for a long time, that worked. Or at least it looked like it did. Because from the outside, everything stayed intact. Responsibilities were handled. Decisions were made. Life kept moving forward. There was no clear indication that something underneath all of that wasn’t being addressed. But underneath it, something was staying in place #CapCut #healingjourney #MentalHealth #fyp #depression

Pleasant Surprises
TikTok post — 2026-04-30 Pleasant Surprises: I didn’t expect to find it here. Not in this part of the process. Not in the middle of everything that feels broken, exposed, and unfinished. Because for a long time, love didn’t belong in the same space as pain. They were separate. Love was something you reached for when things were good. Pain was something you managed when things weren’t. They didn’t overlap. Or at least, that’s how I understood it. So when it started to show up here—inside this work, inside the tension, inside the parts of me I’ve been trying to understand—it didn’t make sense. It felt out of place. Because what I was feeling didn’t look like love. It looked like confusion. Like grief. Like something missing. Something that should have been there and wasn’t. So how does love exist inside that? That’s the question that kept coming up. Not as a thought I could answer. As something I kept running into. In sessions. In moments where I stayed longer than I wanted to. In the space between reacting and understanding. It kept showing up. #CapCut #fyp #healingjourney #cptsd #therapyart

Truth Hurts
TikTok post — 2026-04-30 Truth Hurts: It’s about presence. Something that exists even in the middle of everything I’ve been working through. Something that doesn’t disappear just because I didn’t recognize it before. And that presence— that’s what I’m starting to trust. Not fully. Not consistently. But enough to notice it. Enough to stay with it. Enough to let it be part of this process instead of something separate from it. Because love isn’t just something you find when everything is okay. It’s something that exists underneath everything— even when it’s not. And realizing that doesn’t resolve the tension. But it gives it meaning. And meaning changes how I move through it. Because now I’m not just trying to get past something. I’m starting to understand what it’s been pointing to all along. And that’s what allows me to stay. Even when it’s difficult. Even when it’s unclear. Because now I know— this isn’t just pain. This is something deeper. Something that matters. Something that’s been there the whole time. #CapCut #healingmusic #musictherapy #sasurvivor🖤 #fyp

Sneak Preview! Sundial Rebellion, one of a few side projects I am

Flip the Script
TikTok post — 2026-05-01 Flip the Script: My chest tightens more. My breath shortens. My throat feels like it’s closing around something I can’t name. The instinct hits. Stop. Fix this. Do something. Because this doesn’t feel like something that should be allowed to keep building. But that’s the old pattern. Control it. Contain it. Move past it. This time, I don’t. Not because I feel safe. Because I’m tired of not knowing what this is. So I stay. And it gets worse. That’s the part no one tells you. When you stop resisting it, it doesn’t immediately calm down. It comes closer. Stronger. More real. Like something that’s been held back is finally allowed to move. My hands tighten. My legs tense. My whole body feels like it’s bracing for something that hasn’t happened yet. Then it shifts. Not away. Through. The pressure peaks, and instead of breaking me, it breaks open. #CapCut #fyp #HealingJourney #sasurvivor🖤 #musictherapy

Second Wind
TikTok post — 2026-05-01 Second Wind: There’s another version of it. One that stays. One that holds. One that exists without condition. And experiencing that, even briefly, changes something deeper. Because now I can’t go back to only seeing it the way I did before. Now I know there’s more to it. And that doesn’t just change how I receive it. It changes how I understand myself. Because if that kind of presence exists, then the parts of me I’ve been trying to fix before they’re acceptable don’t need to be fixed first. They can be met. They can be understood. They can be held in the same way. And that’s a different process. Not correction. Not improvement. Connection. That’s what this is. Not something I fully understand yet. Not something I can recreate on command. But something I’ve felt enough to know it’s real. And once you feel something like that, even once, it stays with you. Not as an idea. As a reference. Something you can come back to. Something you can recognize when it shows up again. And something you can start to build from. Not by forcing it. But by allowing it. And that’s new. But it’s real. And that’s enough to keep moving toward it. #CapCut #loveisuniversal #musictherapy #HealingJourney #fyp

Right Side Up
TikTok post — 2026-05-02 Right Side Up: I’m aware of how I’m participating in it. And that awareness doesn’t make me perfect. It makes me responsible. In a way that isn’t heavy. In a way that isn’t about blame. In a way that gives me agency. Because if I can see it, I can start to shift it. Not by forcing it. By staying present with it. By noticing the moment before the reaction completes. By allowing the feeling without letting it dictate everything that comes next. That’s what I’m learning. Not how to eliminate the reaction. How to relate to it differently. And that’s where the real change is happening. Because I’m no longer just caught in it. I’m starting to see it. And in that space, even when it’s small, even when it’s brief, something opens. Something that wasn’t there before. A way to respond instead of react. A way to stay present instead of being pulled completely into the pattern. A way to exist in the moment without needing to control it or absorb it completely. And that’s new. Not easy. But real. Because for the first time, I’m not just one or the other. I’m not just the hammer. I’m not just the nail. I’m something in between. And that’s where change becomes possible #fyp #HealingJourney #musictherapy #sasurvivor🖤 #therapyart

You Can't Handle The Truth

Ripples in the Water
TikTok post — 2026-05-03 Ripples in the Water: Thus isn’t just about healing what’s inside me. It’s about changing how I exist in everything I’m part of. Because nothing stays still. Everything moves. Everything connects. Everything carries forward into something else. And now, for the first time, I can see how that movement begins. Not somewhere outside of me. Here. In the way I feel. In the way I respond. In the space I create between what happens and what I do with it. That’s where it starts. And that’s what continues outward. Like ripples in the water. Expanding. Even when I’m not paying attention. Even when I don’t see how far they go. They move. And now I know why. #CapCut #fyp #cptsd #musictherapy #HealingJourney

Silent Screams
TikTok post — 2026-05-04 Silent Screams: Not everything I’ve felt has had words. That’s what made it so hard to understand. Because if something doesn’t have language, it’s difficult to recognize it as something real. It doesn’t fit into a sentence. It doesn’t organize into a thought. It doesn’t show up in a way that can be explained. It just exists. In the background. In the body. In the spaces between everything else. For a long time, that’s where it stayed. Unnoticed in a direct way, but always there in how I reacted. In the tension I carried without realizing it. In the moments where something shifted before I understood why. In the way certain situations felt heavier than they should have. It didn’t speak. But it influenced everything. And because it didn’t have a voice, I didn’t know how to respond to it. So I didn’t. I moved around it. Worked past it. Adjusted to it without knowing that’s what I was doing. That’s how it stayed hidden. Not because it wasn’t there. Because it wasn’t named. Now I’m starting to see it differently. Not as something I need to explain. As something I need to listen to. And that changes how I approach it. Because listening to something without words requires something else. It requires attention. It requires stillness. It requires a willingness to notice what’s happening without immediately trying to translate it. #CapCut #HealingJourney #sasurvivor🖤 #musictherapy #fyp

Last if the Chapter True remixes. Next post will ipen up Chapter
TikTok post — 2026-05-06 Last if the Chapter True remixes. Next post will ipen up Chapter Free. Here is another excerpt from the Chapter True book for the song you are hearing "Death by 1000 Papercuts:" (IYKYK) I kept looking for the moment. The one that would explain everything. The event. The memory. The point in time where something clearly went wrong. Because that would make it easier. If I could find it, I could understand it. If I could understand it, I could work through it. That’s how everything else works. You trace it back. You find the source. You fix what broke. But this didn’t give me that. There was no single moment that held all of it. No clear beginning. No obvious line I could follow from then to now. And that’s what made it frustrating. Because something was there. I could feel it. In my reactions. In the way my body responded before I had time to think. In the way certain situations carried more weight than they should have. It was real. But it wasn’t clear. It didn’t point to one thing. It pointed to everything. #CapCut #fyp #musictherapy #HealingJourney #cptsd

Root Cause
TikTok post — 2026-05-06 Root Cause: Every step feel heavy like I'm draggin’ a chain Every thought in my head like a hurricane rain I been buildin’ these walls just to stay in control But the cracks in the armor keep swallowin' whole I remember the nights when the world felt safe Before the trust got twisted and the love turned fake Now the past like a shadow that won't let go And the scars on my soul keep stealin' the glow Yeah the anger runs deep but the sorrow runs deeper Try to bury the pain but it wakes when I sleep And the demons I keep are the ones I created From the lies I believed and the love that was tainted. #cptsd #sasurvivor🖤 #therapyart #HealingJourney #fyp

Two Truths and No Lies
TikTok post — 2026-05-07 Two Truths and No Lies: There was a time when I thought telling the truth would ruin everything. Not all truth. Specific truth. The kind that changes the room the second it leaves your mouth. The kind that doesn’t ask permission before it rearranges everything. The kind that cannot be taken back once it exists outside of you. That’s the truth I avoided. Not because I didn’t know it. Because I did. I knew. Somewhere. Not clearly. Not cleanly. But enough. Enough to feel it every time I got close. In the pause before speaking. In the words that almost came out and stopped at the back of my throat. In the way my body tightened before my mind had decided what it was allowed to say. That was the warning. #CapCut #fyp #HealingJourney #therapyart #cptsd

Servant Leaders

Letting it Go
TikTok post — 2026-05-08 Letting it Go: I believed I was broken, a permanent stain That the fault was my body, the pleasure, the pain That a kid in confusion could somehow decide That the harm done to him was a choice deep inside But the older I get and the deeper I see There’s a war in the lies that were spoken to me And the boy that I buried beneath all the blame Was surviving a storm that he never could name. #fyp #HealingJourney #cptsd #therapyart #sasurvivor🖤

Reflector
TikTok post — 2026-05-08 Reflector: I used to think being an empath meant I felt more than other people. That I picked up on things others didn’t. That I carried more because I was more aware. It felt like both a strength and a burden. Something I couldn’t turn off. Something that made certain things harder than they seemed for everyone else. I would walk into a room and feel it. The tension. The mood. What wasn’t being said. I didn’t question it. I adjusted to it. Shifted my tone. Changed my posture. Matched the energy without realizing I was doing it. It felt automatic. Like that was just how I connected. But the more I’ve gone through this, the more I’ve started to see something different. It wasn’t just awareness. It was adaptation. I wasn’t just feeling what was there. I was responding to it in ways that weren’t always conscious. Taking it in. Holding it. Sometimes carrying it longer than it was ever meant to be carried. #CapCut #cptsd #HealingJourney #fyp #empath

Empath is a Reflector
TikTok post — 2026-05-08 Empath is a Reflector: At the core of this song and chapter in my story is the realization that empaths are created through horrible trauma. So are sociopaths, kind of insanely dynamic how something evil doesnt just create evil. It also create a level of love beyond what we are often "born with." Complex PTSD when healing lends itself to just that, combining hypervigilance and emotional recognition to have compassion and understanding. For others and yourself, but this requires healing. #empath #fyp #HealingJourney #cptsd #therapyart

Food for Thought
TikTok post — 2026-05-08 Food for Thought: Just sharing due to the intrigue, frequencies and photons, wavelengths and magnitude. #readbetweenthelines #awareness #369 #fyp #cptsd

It is the Key
TikTok post — 2026-05-10 It is the Key: For a long time, it didn’t feel like a choice. That’s the part I can see clearly now. The way I responded to things. The way I reacted under pressure. The way certain situations pulled something out of me before I had time to think. It all felt automatic. Like something was already decided before I got there. I didn’t think of it that way at the time. I thought I was choosing. I thought I was responding based on what made sense in the moment. But the deeper I’ve gone into this, the more I’ve realized how much of that wasn’t choice. It was pattern. It was learned. It was built over time in ways I didn’t see. And once something is built that way, it runs. Quickly. Efficiently. Without needing conscious input. That’s what makes it hard to recognize. Because it feels like you. It feels like how you are. Not something you’re doing. That’s what kept me in it for so long. I wasn’t questioning it. I was identifying with it. Thinking this is just how I respond. This is just how I handle things. This is just who I am. #rootcause #CapCut #fyp #cptsd #healingjourney

Ragebait
TikTok post — 2026-05-13 Ragebait: It’s everywhere. That’s the first thing I started to notice. Not just in obvious places. Not just online or in moments that are clearly charged. Everywhere. In conversations. In headlines. In the tone behind what people say even when the words themselves seem neutral. There’s a pull. A subtle invitation to react. To engage from a place that isn’t grounded. To get pulled into something before I’ve even had time to understand what it is. I didn’t see it that way before. It just felt like the world was intense. Like things were happening faster than I could process them. Like I had to keep up or risk missing something important. And that pressure— that constant sense of needing to stay engaged— kept me in a state of reaction. Not fully. Not always. But enough that it shaped how I moved through things. Because when everything feels urgent, everything feels important. And when everything feels important, there’s no space to choose what actually is. That’s where I lived for a long time. Responding to what was loudest. What was most immediate. What carried the most emotional weight in the moment. Not because I wanted to. Because it was constant. Because it was everywhere. And without realizing it, I was being pulled into it. #CapCut #healingjourney #cptsd #fyp #awareness

You Get What You Give
TikTok post — 2026-05-15 You Get What You Give: It doesn’t happen all at once. That’s something I don’t question anymore. There’s no moment where everything settles and stays that way. No final shift where nothing comes up again. No version of this where I arrive and remain untouched by everything I’ve been working through. What there is— is movement. Subtle. Consistent. Noticeable if I’m paying attention. Different from before. I don’t always see it right away. Sometimes I only recognize it after the moment has passed. But it’s there. In the space between what happens and how I respond to it. In the way something unfolds differently, even when the situation itself hasn’t changed. That’s where I’m starting to see it. A conversation that used to tighten something in my chest doesn’t land the same way. A tone that would have pulled me into reaction now registers, but doesn’t take over. A moment that would have escalated before… pauses. Not because I forced it to. Because something in me didn’t move the same way. That’s new. For most of my life, what I brought into a moment came from what I was carrying. Not intentionally. Automatically. If I was holding tension, it showed up in how I spoke. If I was trying to control something internally, it showed up in how I interacted externally. If I felt pressure, it moved outward into the space around me. I didn’t recognize it at the time. It just felt like I was responding to what was happening. But I can see it now. I wasn’t just responding. I was contributing. What I carried didn’t stay inside me. #CapCut #fyp #therapyart #acomplexhealingjourney #musictherapy

Music Heals
TikTok post — 2026-05-17 Music Heals: I used to think music was something I made. Something I controlled. Something I shaped into what I wanted it to be. That’s how I approached it. Technically. Structurally. Focused on getting it right. The progression. The timing. The way everything fit together. And that mattered. It gave me a way to express something. But it wasn’t the whole picture. Because the deeper I’ve gone into this process, the more I’ve realized something. I’m not always creating music. Sometimes, I’m uncovering it. That’s the part I didn’t understand before. Because there are moments now where something comes through that doesn’t feel constructed. It doesn’t feel like I’m building it piece by piece. It feels like I’m finding it. Like it’s already there. And I’m just stepping into it. That feeling is different. It’s less controlled. Less forced. There’s a flow to it that doesn’t come from thinking. It comes from staying. From being present long enough for something to move through me without interruption. That’s what’s changed. Because before, I would approach music the same way I approached everything else. With control. With intention. With a need to shape it into something that made sense. Now, I approach it differently. Not completely. But enough to feel the shift. I listen more. Not just to what I’m playing. To what’s happening underneath it. To the way something resonates before I try to define it. #CapCut #musictherapy #acomplexhealingjourney #therapyart #fyp

What Matters Most? When I look at what matters now, it’s not
TikTok post — 2026-05-26 What Matters Most? When I look at what matters now, it’s not complicated. It’s not a long list. It’s not something I have to think through every time. It’s felt. Connection matters. Not surface-level interaction. Real presence. Being with someone without leaving myself. That matters. Truth matters. Not perfection. Not saying everything the right way. Being honest about what’s actually there. That matters. Peace matters. Not the absence of movement. The ability to stay grounded while things are moving. That matters. Growth matters. Not constant improvement. Not chasing something better. Staying open to what’s unfolding without shutting down. That matters. How we treat people matters most. #CapCut #fyp #healingjourney #cptsd #kindness

Love is Honest
TikTok post — 2026-05-28 Love is Honest: I used to think love was something you felt. Something that happened to you. Something that either showed up or didn’t. If it was there, you held onto it. If it wasn’t, you figured out how to live without it. That was the framework. Simple. But incomplete. Because what I didn’t understand was how much of love isn’t about the feeling. It’s about how you experience yourself inside of it. That’s what’s different now. Not that love suddenly feels bigger. That I feel different inside of it. Before, love came with tension. Even in the good moments. There was always something underneath it. A need to maintain it. A need to not lose it. A need to stay aligned with whatever would keep it from shifting. And that created pressure. Subtle. Constant. Sometimes barely noticeable. But always there. Because if something feels like it can change based on what you do, then part of you is always watching. Always adjusting. Always making sure you don’t move in a way that disrupts it. #CapCut #healingjourney #fyp #acomplexhealingjourney #awareness

Integration
TikTok post — 2026-06-03 Integration: It doesn’t feel like a finish line. That’s the first thing I notice. After everything—after the awareness, the breakdown, the work, the moments that felt like they were tearing something open—there isn’t a moment where it all resolves into something final. There isn’t a point where I can say, “this is complete.” What there is is coherence. Not perfect. Not constant. But real. Things that used to feel separate don’t anymore. The way I think. The way I feel. The way my body responds. The way I move through the world. They’re not disconnected in the same way. They don’t pull in opposite directions as often. There’s less friction between them. Less internal negotiation. Less effort to keep everything aligned. Because now, more of it already is. That’s what integration feels like. Not everything being fixed. Everything being connected. There was a time when different parts of me felt like they were operating independently. The part of me that understood things logically. The part of me that reacted emotionally. The part of me that held tension in my body without explanation. The part of me that tried to manage all of it at the same time. They didn’t communicate. They overlapped. They conflicted. They created noise. Now, there’s something different. Not silence. Coordination. When something comes up, it doesn’t feel like I’m being pulled in multiple directions at once. It feels like I can experience it from more than one place at the same time. #CapCut #integration #cptsd #fyp #healingjourney

All That Matters
TikTok post — 2026-06-05 All That Matters: It’s quieter than I expected. Not empty. Not still. Just… quieter. After everything—the intensity, the questions, the unraveling, the rebuilding—I thought the end of this would feel bigger. More defined. More certain. Like something I could point to and say, “this is it.” But it doesn’t feel like that. It feels simpler. Stripped down. Like everything that didn’t need to stay has fallen away. And what’s left— is clear. Not in a way that answers every question. In a way that doesn’t need to. Because the need to have everything figured out isn’t there the same way anymore. That’s what’s different. Not that I understand everything. That I don’t need to in order to move forward. For most of my life, I’ve been trying to get to a place where things made complete sense. Where I could explain why I felt what I felt. Why things happened the way they did. Why I responded the way I did. I thought clarity meant resolution. That if I could just understand it all, it would settle. But that’s not what happened. What happened is something else. I stopped needing everything to resolve before I could live. All that Matters, is All that Matters. #CapCut #fyp #healingjourney #cptsd #musictherapy

A Ton of Bricks
TikTok post — 2026-08-06 A Ton of Bricks: Ouch this one is too true not to share, a painful reality I am slowly learning to accept. Shared Skin is the name of the song and it goes perfectly with this helpful and healing quote about living with years of horrible abuse. #CapCut #fyp #cptsd #abuserecovery #healingjourney

The Beginning is the End (Remix)

I Don't Want to Stay the Same (Remix)

The Road Less Travelled
The anthem song off the album that focuses on a theme around the common thread with CPTSD

Both Sides of the Mirror
One of my favorites pieces of writing, it has been with me for a while.

Forsaken (Remix)
My favorite of the videos so far, as concept as I could get it with free tools. Won't change it too much once I am able to get fancy with my videos.

Until I Found You (Remix)
One of my favorite remix versions of the songs off Chapter Won. It is a great groove and adds a view of the times it has failed.

The Road Less Travelled (Remix)
An emotional way to hear and see this song

The Beginning is the End
The First song off of the Chapter Won album and the first video I slapped together.

Lost and Found (Remix)
A great version that adds more darkness and pain with the violin

The One Who Won (Remix)
A broken version of the original song and video, adds a but more sting to it is all

I Don't Want To Stay the Same
A fun video for a song that just continues to hang on to the one string that is left after every other string breaks.

Until I Found You
The music video adding imagery to the journey itself

Lost and Found
Built on lyrics and a melody that has been in my head and on paper for quite some time, in many ways is like the first steps in the journey.

The One Who Won
Last Track on the Chapter Won album and was worthy of a bonus version at track 11.

Forsaken
A beautiful tragedy, through and through

Harmony Screams
Another killer track off the album Chapter Won that helps share the pain of self abandonment

You Let It Go
Tiktok video with Lyrics for the 2nd song off the album Chapter Won

You Let it Go (Remix Version)
The ninth track off of the Chapter Won, Remix Edition that gives an awesome reggae vibe to a very catchy hook making it stick in your head for days.

Both Sides of the Mirror (Remix Version)
Tiktok music video for the full remix version of the song
