Proposed federal rules would change how research is funded—allowing political appointees to override independent scientific peer review and restricting the topics federal grants can support. Psychological science depends on funding decisions grounded in scientific merit, not political priorities. APA is advocating against these changes, and the public can comment through July 13.

What is C-PTSD?

Complex PTSD. Where the trauma isn’t an “event“ or “instance“ but an ongoing series of repeated or recurring traumas.

Here’s the anatomy of (my) C-PTSD (Complex-PTSD) brought to you by my fit bit data in 2021

Pictured below is a night full of night terrors & followed by another much better night, after some relief.

5/16/21:
😔 Doesn’t even have a “sleep score” .... no “deep”, “light” or “REM” (which is odd because I could detail what felt like a horror movie in my mind).
😔 4 hrs & 15 mins “restless” out of 5hr 22 min total attempted.

A few nights later, after some serious lock down self care, ranked “good” marked with a green star✳️.

If you, or someone you know, is dealing with disrupted sleep or night terrors, these are just some of the symptoms of a variety of conditions…. Including but not limited to stress related disorders. Disrupted sleep can be both a symptom &/or a cause of mental, emotional & behavioral disorders. Systemic/ Holistic issues need Systemic/ Holistic Healthcare.

Speak with a P*P, therapist or Psychiatrist for a screening & assessment. Treatment is available & recovery is possible.

The Body Keeps the Score & Talk Therapy isn’t the “be all end all” when it comes to this. This is why a solid understanding& application of somatic healing is so important in trauma recovery.

"𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀.

You think you've moved on. You've forgiven, let go, done the mental work.

But your body? Your body still flinches at certain tones of voice. Still contracts around specific types of people. Still holds tension in the exact places trauma landed.

Because trauma doesn't live in your memories. It lives in your tissues.

You can't think your way out of what your body is holding. Talk therapy gets you to understanding—but understanding doesn't discharge stored survival energy.

This is why you can intellectually know you're safe and still feel anxious. Know you're worthy and still feel small. Know it's over and still react like it's happening.

Your nervous system is waiting for somatic release, not more analysis.

The body keeps the score. And only the body can clear it.

When you address trauma where it actually lives—in your cells—that's when freedom becomes embodied, not just understood."
