The Deconstruction Of C-PTSD
192 episodes - English - Latest episode: 11 days ago - ★★★★★ - 23 ratingsWith this podcast I aim to help people with my knowledge and the deconstruction to give them the tools, knowledge, security and understanding to help them with their healing journey, partner, (C-)PTSD, PTS or the like.The aim is to help people cure themselves or at least improve their journey to getting cured and not just healed and to finally have a life worth living again - not just surviving.The original goal was to just tell my path, but while doing the podcast I realized the dire situation of PTSD resources and changed it to be more broad and make my instructions more universal.This nightmare of an illness is quite easily defeated if you know what to do and it no longer can hide in the shadows, that make it immune. But it DOES require a lot of work and effort. I use PTSD to include all form of traumas. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask, I usually answer them per mail or in the episode if more is needed. I also offer therapy to help more directly.More information and transcripts you can find at: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/

Ep174 - Flashbacks
April 13, 2024 21:00 - 8 minutes - 5.67 MBIn this episode we will talk about flashbacks - the most known symptom of PTSD - and wrongly assumed to be a central requirement for having any form of PTSD. Flashbacks are often referred to something along the lines of “having flashbacks like I have PTSD”. But unlike what many think it is only a severe symptom and not a requirement for PTSD. It is a sign that PTSD is in its more severe stages and needs to be addressed NOW. We first talk about what are flashbacks, then what causes them, th...
Ep173 - How abusers keep control over us
April 01, 2024 12:00 - 8 minutes - 5.77 MBIn this episode we will talk about how abusers keep control over us - even long after we are out of that situation it can still apply. Especially if we were children at the time and we learned this to be “normal”. We need to understand to recognize and unlearn it. We first talk about abuse language, then always on edge, then redefining normal, then always assumed guilty, then sabotaging skills, then sugar and pain and then isolation. https://www.choosingtherapy.com/narcissistic-manipulation...

March 17, 2024 00:00 - 8 minutes - 5.78 MBIn this episode we will talk about fate - in particular about the fate of those marked by trauma. Are we bound to be victims or abusers? That is a question I am sure many of you have asked when only these 2 fates seem to be available. But there is more. We first talk about how it starts, then the roadblocks, then the destructive outcomes, then the productive outcomes and then how it ends.

Ep170 - Love is not enough
February 16, 2024 07:00 - 4 minutes - 3.3 MBIn this episode we talk about how love is not enough. Though this episode is going to be a bit different again, because - for one - it is something that is so deeply painful and hard to accept - that it is very difficult to talk about it. A deep wound almost all of us share. Some in great - some in lesser extent.

February 05, 2024 03:00 - 7 minutes - 5.51 MBIn this episode we will talk about building up your support system - especially about solutions until new relationships are possible, which I forgot to address last time and offered just an answer, but not a solution. Your healing progress is a long journey - and good company makes it a lot easier and enjoyable. We first talk about online groups, then online games, then animals and then local groups.

Ep167 - How can I achieve the new me / my true self? (New Year Resolutions)
December 31, 2023 14:00 - 8 minutes - 5.86 MBIn this episode we will talk about achieving this new “me” that seems often so far away and some even believe is a myth. Or are you trying to return to your old true self? Both follow the same path that seems to be so hard if not impossible to find. But today we really focus on the steps to take to achieve the new “me” - if you never had a healthy one - or return to your true “me” - if the experience has thrown you off your path. We first talk about changing takes time, then your mental st...

December 09, 2023 03:00 - 8 minutes - 5.59 MBIn this episode we will talk about emotions once again, but this time about loosing control over them. That can take many forms and is sadly usually a common aspect in dealing with PTSD and also during the healing progress.

November 03, 2023 05:00 - 8 minutes - 5.75 MBIn this episode we will talk about time and life with the questions “Do I have enough time left” and “Is my life over” - which is something I went through myself and I hear so often.

One of the more general issues, but also an absolute key element on recovering from trauma - especially if it happens in the childhood. Especially if neglect and parentification is involved.

Ep162 - Can my mind make my body sick? (Psychosomatic)
September 29, 2023 03:00 - 8 minutes - 5.9 MBIn this episode we will talk about how the mind can affect the body - and the other way around. If you keep getting sick or have this weird illness that just won’t go away, then that might be related to PTSD. I can confirm the same - the issues I had disappeared one by one during my healing progress. After years and years of riddling doctors and everyone basically. This is known as psychosomatic and very relevant to PTSD. We first talk about how does it work, then how far does it go, then st...
Rerecord:Ep161 - Trauma makes you (not) stronger (Post Traumatic Growth PTG)
September 18, 2023 02:00 - 8 minutes - 5.8 MBIn this episode we will talk about basically the saying “what doesn’t kill you make you stronger” - which I am sure most of you have heard. It is known officially as post traumatic growth - or PTG - but it has mixed opinions. I wanted to talk about this for a while since I came across this review of research of Post traumatic growth or PTG where he found that genuine PTG is rare, but illusionary PTG is common. In other words the growth is not real but imagined. Which honestly is in line wi...

Ep160 - Were your parents 'good parents'? (childhood abuse neglect)
August 23, 2023 03:00 - 8 minutes - 5.73 MBIn this episode we will talk about parents and if they were “good parents” - while there are many ways people define if someone is a good parents or not, we will - of course - focus on the trauma perspective, because it is sadly the root of many evils. The main point of this episode - helping to understand, to find and to resolve past issues. First we talk about covering the basics, then covering emotional and social needs, then what is caring love and then what does it mean to be a good par...
Ep159 - Why do I feel so scared or anxious? (Anxiety Overwhelmed Fear)
August 05, 2023 09:00 - 8 minutes - 5.61 MBIn this episode we will talk about being scared or anxious - sometimes both at the same time. Usually it’s a cry for help by your overwhelmed brain. The feeling of fear is a very familiar feeling for those dealing with PTSD and can greatly impact your healing process. We first talk about why fear is a good thing, then the brain is confused, then why the fear is so damaging and then what we can do.

July 20, 2023 21:00 - 8 minutes - 5.92 MBIn this episode we will talk about being tired - something basically everyone who deals with PTSD is familiar with it. You feel tired, low on energy or lazy - depending on perspective. But there is a good reason for it and you probably shouldn’t be too hard on yourself. We first talk about how to know it is happening, then where the energy is needed, then what you shouldn’t do and then what we can do.

Ep157 - Scars - The things that remain and how they affects us
July 04, 2023 23:00 - 7 minutes - 5.25 MBIn this episode we will talk about scars - or in other words - the things that remain. I often say that the experience changes us - like climbing a mountain does, but what do we have to accept as that change and what can we still change after all? Since it’s the 4th of July with a lot of veterans affected, I thought it is a good time to talk about the things that remain and how they affect us. We first talk about things that are not scars but a to do list, then what scars we have to accept ...
Ep156 - Victim blaming (But what did you do?)
June 21, 2023 21:00 - 7 minutes - 5.34 MBIn this episode we will talk about victim blaming: This is sadly a common reality that survivors face - as well victims of all kinds of things and even if anything bad happens to you.

Ep155 - Self confidence + self love/loving yourself (Loneliness/Lonely II)
June 04, 2023 03:00 - 7 minutes - 5.09 MBIn this episode we will talk about self confidence, feeling unlovable and loneliness. How to be self confident and able to love oneself is integral for a life with happiness and love. This is a continuation from last episode, where we talked about feeling unlovable and lonely. I strongly recommend to listen to it first. These three topics are sort of a chain reaction - you feel unlovable, that causes low self confidence and thats leads to loneliness. But how do we break this cycle? For trul...
Ep154 - Why do I feel like I am unlovable? (Lonely/loneliness)
May 20, 2023 07:00 - 7 minutes - 4.89 MBIn this episode we will talk about feeling unlovable and to a part about loneliness - because if you feel unlovable than no matter how many people tell you that they love you - you won’t believe them. A very difficult topic, but also integral for a life with happiness and love.It is - of course - not to point fingers at anyone and call it a day, but to help you understand what happened, where it came from and what you can do. First we get into why feeling unlovable is so devastating, then wh...

May 13, 2023 02:00 - 6 minutes - 4.5 MBIn this episode we will talk about the stage between ball and ring trauma - and therefor PTSD and C-PTSD - the double trauma or macarons trauma. I mentioned before that there seems to be something missing - and now I finally pieced it together. Now the whole set is round and no longer feels incomplete. As mentioned in a past episode - there was no point in making a step called something like a big ball trauma, because that would be the same basically just in significant bigger shape. We go f...
Ep152 - How do I remove or cut someone from my life? (Relationship)
April 28, 2023 09:00 - 6 minutes - 4.41 MBIn this episode we will talk about how to remove or cut someone out of your life - the universal recommendation seems to be: Avoid contact. But that is sometimes just not an option. So what can we do in that case? How do we cut someone out, that keeps coming up in our everyday life? Keeping as much distance as possible is extremely helpful, but what else can we do? We first talk about the strings that tie us together, then why the brain refuses to let go, then how to cut and then when trau...
Ep151 - Why is so hard to leave or cut someone out? (Relationship)
April 21, 2023 02:00 - 6 minutes - 4.56 MBIn this episode we will talk about why it is so hard to leave someone - even if they threaten our wellbeing - or to cut them out of our lives. While the decision is logically so easy to make, it can be hard to understand why we struggle so much with it. We first talk about how relationships are formed, then why are we being drawn back in and then why cutting relationships is hard.

April 06, 2023 21:00 - 6 minutes - 4.62 MBIn this episode we will talk about how a military mission can cause PTSD and what are the reasons why it could be. It is a bit of an experiment and so your feedback is especially appreciated. But for now I will give you the categories and what goes into them and you can add more details. Now these categories cover all the elements that are relevant in regards to PTSD. This is supposed to be a tool for you to use. Be it for better knowing where to look for triggers and the like, to estimate ...
Ep149 - Why is violence not THE deciding factor? (Trauma and PTSD)
March 29, 2023 02:00 - 6 minutes - 4.26 MBIn this episode we will talk about violence and the deciding factor for something to become a trauma or even PTSD. It is important to understand what the main factors are to know what to focus on - especially when dealing with ring trauma. To truly trying to understand this we use our slapped in the face example again - this time with the violence being the focus, while the level of force stays exactly the same. We first talk about the slap in the face example, then about the differences an...
Ep148 - Why emotions are more important than facts (for healing)
March 20, 2023 01:00 - 6 minutes - 4.39 MBIn this episode we will talk about why emotions are more important than facts - in the healing process - something I mentioned several times, but never really gotten into in greater detail. It is one of the most crucial things to get right to cure yourself. We first start with the purpose of facts, then an example and then applying example to a trauma.

Ep146 - How is dealing with C-PTSD so much harder than PTSD? (ring trauma and ball trauma)
February 25, 2023 17:00 - 7 minutes - 4.86 MBIn this episode we will talk about how it comes that dealing with PTSD is so much easier than C-PTSD. I usually use PTSD to include both, but there is a very significant difference in difficulty dealing with it and its quite a jump. It is important to understand the difference and how to treat the different versions. As they require different approaches - which is likely why many struggle to remove C-PTSD from their life. We first talk about this in an example, then how to deal with ball tr...
Ep145 - "I just want peace" (Enduring the nightmare/healing process)
February 09, 2023 22:00 - 6 minutes - 4.67 MBIn this episode we will talk about just wanting peace - an expression often in regards with the marathon that is the healing process. Usually the sentence “I just want peace” is said by the biggest stirrer of chaos and unrest. Usually when they are confronted about their part in the chaos. But in this case it was from a mail I received and it wasn’t the first time I heard it. It is just a sentiment of the exhaustion of this long and difficult journey to finally be over and one can walk aga...

February 03, 2023 04:00 - 6 minutes - 4.45 MBIn this episode we will talk about survivor’s guilt, a topic I so far skipped over as I was affected by it myself. What is survivor’s guilt? Simplified you feel guilty for surviving and that is often accompanied with strong depression and the thought process of being undeserving of living. Last time - episode 84 where I covered it - it was for validation and finding purpose as band aid. First we talk about surviving, then witnessing, then why you might struggle and lastly what one should ...

January 19, 2023 06:00 - 6 minutes - 4.45 MBIn this episode we will talk about people who are victims and abusers. People who suffered and made other people suffer.

January 04, 2023 03:00 - 6 minutes - 4.17 MBIn this episode we will talk about nightmares, which are a common occurrences and a symptom strongly associated with PTSD. An awful and tiring experience that might be able to be avoided. As I said, the nightmares that you get while suffering from PTSD are well known and they can range drastically. From relatively normal nightmares to being so terrifying that you don’t even dare to breathe when you wake up from them. We will first talk about where do the nightmares comes from, then what we c...

We first talk about the fallout, then the disconnect and then about adapting. Transcript: www.johannadraconis.com/episode...

October 31, 2022 20:00 - 6 minutes - 4.41 MBIn this episode we will talk about the question why we cry so much - especially during our healing process - and why crying is a good thing. It is an important part for getting better, but often quite confusing. There is of course some opinions about who can and can’t cry and those are absolute nonsense. Crying is an important part of a healthy human being and mental health and also very important for bonding with other people. We first start talking about why do we cry and then how it help...

Not just with PTSD and many are affected. The feeling hollow is quite widespread, but hardly talked about. Quite difficult to describe the feeling properly without having experienced it. This sometimes yawning void. Transcript: www.johannadraconis.com/episode-121-140 Contact: contactme@johannadraco...
