When humans feel powerless, especially after traumatic events or retraumatization or ~ gestures generally at C-PTSD ~ what often helps is having an area of control over choices, decisions, and outcomes (especially outcomes that have positive side effects like humans liking the action/work/result)
And thus I flew to LA for a weekend and got a tattoo.

For decades I've instinctively kept ideas like this in my back pocket, and it took me until I was 30 to understand why. In short, this is one method that can help relieve C-PTSD, or prevent learned helplessness from developing. It's not a full solution, but it helps.

in reply to Insecurity Princess πππ₯ • • •Burnout recovery leave, day negative 3:
Getting this tattoo helped me a lot. Honestly, a big part of it was choosing to go somewhere and do something because *I* wanted to β not for work or family, just for me.
I do things for myself regularly to reinforce that my own needs matter. But part of what I was missing was doing something different enough from my typical self-care cycles and rituals β beyond things like ordering/making food that I like. I needed to break free of mental pathways in a bigger way, and spending time in a different city doing things different from what I typically do was a good way to change the patterns.

in reply to Insecurity Princess πππ₯ • • •The image shows a detailed black and grey tattoo on a person's forearm. The tattoo features a central image of a cat with large, expressive eyes, surrounded by roses and thorny vines. The cat is depicted in a realistic style, with shading that gives it a three-dimensional appearance. The roses are intricately designed, with visible petals and leaves, and the thorns are sharp and detailed. The tattoo is done in a black ink style, with fine lines and shading that create depth and texture. The background of the tattoo is a plain white surface, which contrasts with the dark ink of the tattoo. The overall design is complex and visually striking, with a mix of organic shapes and sharp lines.
