In what ways can Unburdening help in healing from Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD)?
In complex PTSD healing there is a "meeting yourself for the first time" stage that includes the intricate process of reconnecting the Mind, Body, Heart, and Spirit to facilitate healing and personal growth. This stage emphasizes radical honesty and embracing all facets of oneself, especially those influenced by past traumas, to foster self-awareness and empowerment. Tanner views this journey as essential for comprehending and accepting one's internal milieu, advocating for a genuine encounter with oneself that is free from the need for external validation or solutions. She stresses the significance of facing internal distortions and misunderstandings, suggesting that by doing so, individuals can discern between their Self Energy and the energies of other internal parts. This introspective approach not only aids in building trust with one's inner self but also leads to a more profound understanding of one's internal landscape, paving the way for integration and authenticity.
