In this episode we will talk about a topic that came up during my time at “live from America Podcast “ last weekend, which turned from therapeutic abuse to a conversation about C-PTSD.We talked - VERY briefly - about what the therapy for PTSD should look like and I feel like I didn’t do it proper justice and wanted to explain it better, because I do think it is very important to clear things up.We first talk about what it should feel like, which type of therapy, then goals of therapy and finally what the base structure looks like.Topic: C-PTSD (instead of therapeutic abuse) and WARNING: I talk relatively at the start about what types of things were done to me. Video https://youtu.be/8Q-wqXJQ9mIAudio  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-from-america-podcast/id1159634513?mt=2Transcript: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/episode-109/ Contact: contactme@johannadraconis.com        Therapy:  https://www.johannadraconis.com/therapy/     

Johanna Draconis - The Deconstruction Of C-PTSD

Ep109 - What should a good therapy look like to get rid of C-PTSD?

In this episode we will talk about therapeutic abuse again - this time about the why it is such a problem. Besides the obvious of course, that abuse in general is a problem. But this abuse is taboo, people don’t know what is right and wrong.The reason I picked this topic this time is a rather unusual one: I am going to be on the “live from America Podcast “ where we are going to talk about therapeutic abuse in the episode released next Tuesday on the 5th of October. You can listen to the podcast or watch the conversation on Youtube. I do not know what we will talk about exactly, but this topic in particular is very important and close to my heart. While we looked last time into 5 no-go practices, this time we talk about why it is so bad and how a therapy session should be like.https://www.livefromamericapodcast.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS2fqgw61yK1J6iKNxV0LmATranscript: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/episode-108/ Contact: contactme@johannadraconis.com        Therapy:  https://www.johannadraconis.com/therapy/    

Ep108 - What is the problem and how should it be? (Therapeutic Abuse Update)

In this episode we will talk about trauma behavior, as it is often confused with triggers. And while they are at times annoying - they are not triggers nor are they are sign of bad health.  A side effect of your experiences.But they do cause a lot of confusion, uncertainty and muddy the water. So let us talk about it.Transcript: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/episode-107/ Contact: contactme@johannadraconis.com        Therapy:  https://www.johannadraconis.com/therapy/    

Ep107 - Why some reactions are not triggers but Trauma behavior (Trigger update)

In this episode we will talk about something that keeps popping up: If that caused my PTSD why don’t I feel strongly about it? This is a good question to ask. As this can lead you down a complete false path and severely sabotage your healing journey. We are looking into two variants of a small trauma activating the big one and then some ways to find the hidden trauma.Transcript: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/episode-106/ Contact: contactme@johannadraconis.com        Therapy:  https://www.johannadraconis.com/therapy/      

Ep106 - If that caused my PTSD why don't I feel strongly about it? (Trauma update)

In this episode we will talk about Introspection, one of the most useful tools you ever get in your life in general - not just for PTSD. It is the same base mechanic EMDR uses and helps you to process anything so much faster and more. So it is VERY useful. We talk first about how to get into it and then how to best use it in regards to PTSD.EMDR studies:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6106867/ (overview)https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27744424/ (Regarding eye movement)Transcript: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/episode-105/ Contact: contactme@johannadraconis.com        Therapy:  https://www.johannadraconis.com/therapy/     

Ep105 - Method exaplained: Introspection (used by EMDR)

In this episode we will talk about a very sobering moment in your healing journey that is sadly also reflected in real life. The question “Was it all for nothing?” is a deeply dark question that can make you very easily very bitter. Or worse.It is one of the key moments in your healing journey, where you can easily get stuck, and one of the hardest and most painful things to open up about. So let us talk about it.Transcript: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/episode-104/ Contact: contactme@johannadraconis.com        Therapy:  https://www.johannadraconis.com/therapy/    

Ep104 - Was it all for nothing?

In this episode we will talk about the question “Why can’t I just be normal again?” - which is something heard throughout the journey - from start to finish - and one of the reasons why people can’t progress on the healing journey.Which is why it so crucial we address it and spill the tea - as the saying goes. So let us talk about itTranscript: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/episode-103/ Contact: contactme@johannadraconis.com        Therapy:  https://www.johannadraconis.com/therapy/   

Ep103 - Why can't I just be normal again?

In this episode we will talk about bad people doing good things, which I know is a complicated and loaded topic on its own, but under our circumstances it turns into a complete mine field.I am talking about the person who causes so much suffering doing good things. Sometimes even great things. It is a taboo we need to talk about, as we have to properly sort it out before we can move on - as conflicting as it can be.Transcript: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/episode-102/ Contact: contactme@johannadraconis.com        Therapy:  https://www.johannadraconis.com/therapy/   

Ep102 - ... and bad people do good things

In this episode we will talk about a topic that is the reason why many don’t seek help or accept they have PTSD or the like. “They were good people”. Sometimes even stating that they have no bad intentions. Sadly, that matters little - only what happened does.So we talk this time, about good people doing bad things and why that doesn’t necessarily makes them bad people or anything less true.Transcript: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/episode-101/ Contact: contactme@johannadraconis.com        Therapy:  https://www.johannadraconis.com/therapy/  

Ep101 - Good people do bad things...

In this episode we do things a little bit different. With this being the 100th episode, I thought it would be a good time to redo the introduction, as quite a bit has changed since then. We will go chronically from my earliest years to the most recent perspective. I will summarize a lot to keep the size manageable and try to avoid being graphic or anything the like. This should help not to overwhelm people.I have more information in episode 1 and there will be more on the website.Transcript: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/episode-100/ Contact: contactme@johannadraconis.com        Therapy:  https://www.johannadraconis.com/therapy/ 

Ep100 - Let me reintroduce myself

In this episode we will talk about - bad days. A rather uncomfortable topic and something everyone of us would rather avoid, but sadly is a significant part in your healing journey.It is something we need to be open and honest about, especially with ourselvesIt is frightening, unsettling and demotivating, which is why we talk today about 5 points to help you hopefully to better deal with bad days.Transcript: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/episode-99/ Contact: contactme@johannadraconis.com        Therapy:  https://www.johannadraconis.com/therapy/

Ep99 - Dealing with bad days

In this episode we will talk about a question that I had on my mind ever since I started fighting back against PTSD. Why do people think PTSD can’t be cured? There are though things that keep people from being cured, which is important to know. I have yet to meet a person I thought was a hopeless case on principle. I met a lot of people who were stuck and therefor ended up giving up. Which is understandable but was not necessary.But how do people get stuck and even worse remain stuck?Transcript: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/episode-98/ Contact: contactme@johannadraconis.com       

Ep98 - Why do people think (C)-PTSD can't be cured?

In this episode we will talk about trauma again, this time about where to separate them and when they are actually belong together.Usually the trauma get separated by the time that passed between them and then what form the trauma took. So we first talk about common vs sporadic and then how different form of abuse result in different form of traumas. Transcript: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/episode-97/ Contact: contactme@johannadraconis.com      

Ep97 - When is it one trauma and when two or more? (Trauma update)

In this episode we will talk about suicide - focusing on those left behind and the coping with the suicide of another person.It is important as we need to talk about it but it is still often taboo. We first will talk about how PTSD/Depression warps ones sense of reality and then why it is not your fault.Transcript: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/episode-96/ Contact: contactme@johannadraconis.com      Useful site: https://www.speakingofsuicide.com/United StatesNational Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 (TALK) Veterans press 1 to reach specialised support.

Ep96 - Dealing with loss through suicide

In this episode we will talk about something that is the question at the core of the illness: When does a trauma become PTSD? And when doesn’t it?This also covers why some traumas cause some people PTSD but not others.And this leads us to the factors that determine the size of the trauma, first we get into the factors of the person affected and then the factors of the trauma itself.Transcript: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/episode-95/ Contact: contactme@johannadraconis.com     

Ep95 - When does a Trauma (not) become PTSD?

In this podcast I am trying to teach how to heal or even cure yourself from C-PTSD, like I managed to do it on my own, by taking it apart, explaining how it works and how you can defeat your demons.Also I will try to answer any questions and give additional information if asked.I want to give people the tools needed to be finally free of those demons and that they live a life worth living.You can visit my homepage for more information and you also find all transcripts there: https://www.johannadraconis.com/podcast/NOTE: If I say PTSD podcast, I mean everything, including C-PTSD. I just say PTSD to be more inclusive.
