@sh.itjust.worksOn Thursday, I met with a therapist who ran through the ACES inventory with me during our session.
It’s been a wild ride since then. Never have I felt so much validation and relief, and never have I wanted to get started with the healing process so much. At long last, there’s a name for what I’ve felt over the past 36 years, and more importantly there’s a treatment protocol.
I truly thought I was alone, especially after my encounter with a different therapist some 20 years ago. No one was talking about c-PTSD back then.
Yesterday I could hardly sleep, as it often happens. I let my emotional dysregulation (learned that has a name too!) run wild, intentionally, to pull together a list of all the traumas I faced. I could scarcely sleep until I had written everything down.
Just sharing my joy at being understood.

You should fucking know, Commander. 500 credits. That's why.
Remember when you pulled me aside and sat me down for our little chat through the glass? I told you, all I wanted to do was pay my 500c bounty and go.
You said, no, not this time.
You said, I want dirt on the Fleet.
You said, I want to take down the Fleet, and you're going to help me.
You know what they say about negative bias, and that was a real fucking negative introduction.
That brings us to now, with my gun pointed at your head, my new associates eyeing gleefully their new quarters aboard this august vessel.
Look me in the eyes, motherfucker. Because I like that look when you realize you vastly fucked up. Your command is ours now. Half your men are dead, the other half in lifeboats.
All over 500 credits.
Boys, haul him off.
CLLI codes are location identifiers used throughout North America to describe physical spaces.
Does something similar exist anywhere else in the world?
