All this makes absolute sense to me. I am living through them all. The one I never considered was the spiritual loneliness. I'm going through that right now, and I seem to be in an anger phase. I literally journaled today, 'this modern world stinks. I hate it'. I'm angry at the world and what humankind has become, and there is loneliness in that 😢
I recently got diagnosed with C-PTSD by my rock star therapist after years of never knowing what was wrong with me. Your videos have been the spiritual mortar between the bricks of wisdom that my therapist has helped me lay through my healing journey. Karuna, you’re a treasure and a gift. Thank you for what you’ve done for me and so many others. Blessings on you. 🙏🏻
I'm so very pleased to learn of your journey, Kurt. You are courageous and I am so pleased that you found this framework called CPTSD which further points to authentic self; where, at long last, we come home and rest from the chaos of psychology memory/trauma. The "seeing/experiencing" of authentic self/presence is vital and clarifying. Thank you for your perseverance-and for your heartfelt sharing. Greatest respect. Karuna
Everything u described is what i went through being a child, now im a 46 yrs old adult and i have no contact w my family & hope stays this way. A friend was telling me i should forgive them to heal, even if they never asked for forgiveness. But nope. I don’t forget it & I don’t forgive them. They way they treated me has been very traumatic & I don’t think i need to forgive to move through. I am loved finally, by myself, thats good enough
Thank you so much for this. I am in crisis and had a very very bad day of other peoples hostility and threats and being triggered and you are so calming and wise. Thank you for sharing this and understanding
Wow - you've articulated my post "dark night of the soul" journey really well. I will continue to love - time and time after again. Thank you for your work and guidance.
Dear Sarah: So many here deeply relate to your sharing. In our world, many treat people, animals and insects as separate, different and "better or worse." It certainly can be draining and disheartening!! In truth, we recognize we are connected, in seamless union, as life. Our assignment is to continue to question "beliefs" and thought forms and, in doing so, further melt within depth of authentic self. We each have authentic self and, therein, innerconnectivity of life is recognized. This heals psychological memory/traumas and shines clarity within this fog of separation/loneliness. You are an icebreaker, breaking the thickness of separation, joined with others on this channel. It takes much continued effort to continually prop up our coping mechanisms and our persona! Whew, how exhausting. Authentic Self. Is. Free of effort. Ease. Such warmth, Karuna
I'm so glad this channel is a resource, Amy. And I'm so very sorry you've been hurting. I apologize for humanity, Amy, for we have largely normalized toxicity and dysfunction. Today, we remember that this is not our river! We stand true with Heart, with Empathy, with Inner Wisdom. Will be posting again soon. With respect, Karuna
@@HubfortheHeart thank you Karuna. So easy to forget that so much has become normalised that has no business being normalised!! Collectively and in our own smaller worlds. I have been looking out for your videos.. they’ve brought me so much comfort and solidarity at some of my lowest points. Thank you 🙏💖💞
Hi Karuna, I always seem to find the perfect video for what is happening in my life situation. This speaks to me in so may ways and brought tears to my eyes because I know you understand and that alone means so much. Thank you for inspiring me to stay hopeful and follow my yearning xx love always, Cara
Dear Cara, My heart is so warmed to connect with you here again. You are the dearest of hearts, Cara........Our world needs more Caras!!! You, Cara, contribute more here than you can ever know.....you are a conduit, a transmission of kindness and love and care for our dear world. Yes, follow your inner yearning, desire and deep intuition. It offers the pathway in a confused world. So much love to you. Karuna

Thank you for your relevant question. CPTSD often includes various coping mechanisms including addictions. When a child is not nourished fully, loved fully and whole-y, an ingrained sense of lack is imprinted upon the child. Therein, the lack, this imprint itself, constantly seeks relief, fullness, a return to wholeness. Addictions, including sexual addiction, alleviate the intense pain, this sense of lack, for a *brief* time. But the *relief* of pain within this imprinted contraction, in its fleeting moments of freedom, feels so good that we find ourselves drawn back again and again. Since those with CPSTD generally did not have a foundation established in fullness, safety and love, we constantly-and sometimes frenetically-seek the (brief) moments of wholeness through these coping mechanism of drugs, sex, alcohol, food, shopping, etc. Once we turn around and start to question and authentically educate ourselves, as we do on this channel, the addiction begins to slowly lessen its grasp: We see how dysfunction and toxicity are "normalized" within families and, indeed, within our culture. As deeper understanding, seeing and inner wisdom shine through this fog or normalized dysfunction, our coping mechanisms start to fade. I hope, very much, this is helpful and to all reading here: Please know you are *not* your addiction. This coping mechanism was placed upon you, fueled by a sense of lack. As we steadily remove that which we are not, we also discover all that we already are. *At our essence, we are well.* Full, whole, safe and *well.* May the world become more trauma informed. With respect, Karuna
38 years on this planet and I'm barely figuring out my identity. I appreciate you and your existence.

Does CPTSD typically lead to sexual deviance or sexual addiction?
