Wow, Eva i am so so sorry that you experienced any of this! What a awful, disgusting and confusing time this must have been for you! I really cannot fathom Calebs mentality at all, it is blowing my mind how selfish and self absorbed this man is! I wish i could give you the biggest hug because i am sure by the sounds of this you sure needed one! What a heartbreaking chapter this was to read, as alway so well written and i thank you for sharing it here with us 🩷
I'm thinking of how much I've learned about the mind body connection and how important it is. But any kind of connection needs to be done within our comfort level.
I can't even imagine that kind of weekend. I don't even enjoy being at a music festival. I am so far from a hippie! 😅
I'm not surprised that Caleb's behavior escalated. What did stick out to me in the story Was the the sex worker just walking by when she had to have known what was really happening.
I'm not surprised You just went back to your life. You'd become very good at disassociating. And the Brain literally changes with continued to abuse. 😔
All therapists use CBT. I start with a base of understanding the nervous system and nutrition. Then teach a basic calming practice usually within the first session. There's so many therapies and theories. Then tailor to the individual for therapy as much as I can
Hahah I couldn’t even imagine it till I was there either. Was my first festival. Yeah the sex worker just was so Blaise about it. Does the brain literally change with abuse?
Yeah it actually does. They're finding this out on brain scans. It shows very close similarities to addiction. I theorized this when trying to help patients break free of toxic relationships. I knew there had to be behavioral patterns that create neural pathways minimum. There's plenty of info if you Google and have an interest. But the cool part is neuroplasticity and we can reverse a lot 💗
“I was homeless within myself.” Ugh. I’m feeling all the anger you couldn’t back then. 🤬🤬Predators portraying healers is not new, but this one made my skin crawl the moment you began to describe him. Caleb, the giant narcissist, once again throwing a tantrum about not getting what HE wanted, completely ignorant about the trauma inflicted upon you by others and him. Then continuing to break apart and take every piece of you as a way to reclaim his fragile ego. I’m so sad for you. I’m so mad at him. Mostly what I feel is empathy for you. You being continually thrown to the wolves and then abandoned, left alone writhing around in a pit of shame and blame that was not yours to hold. 💔 Another great read.

Ahhh yeah nutrition is so important .. I can imagine you would hold beautiful space for your clients 🥰
That’s so fascinating and wild. Do you use CBT methods on your clients?
