#trauma validation

[witchplease-freakbitch]

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge the fact how fucking toxic a lot of people in the kink community are? Shaming, insulting, invalidating people's feelings, their trauma. I don't give a flying cucumber if you consider yourself to be a sub, a switch or a dom. Get a fucking grip on your behavior m8.

((tw tr-uma and ab-se mention))

ok so

i just want to say (mostly for myself i guess, but for every system who needs to hear it)

systems who aren’t ab-se victims are valid. your trauma is valid. it isn’t “not that bad” because it wasn’t ab-se. you aren’t faking because it wasn’t ab-se.

ok? trauma is anything your brain was overwhelmed by and did not have the ability to cope with. you are valid and i love you :)

maybe i’m the only one who needs to hear this, but if anyone else does, here it is :)

even on my better days I have to remind myself that my trauma and my feelings about it is still valid. just because I feel better doesn't mean it doesn't affect me, doesn't mean it stops shaping me as a person. it happened, and it still affects me even on my better days. how can it only be valid on what I consider my bad days? trauma remains, trauma doesn't go away even when I feel better. it doesn't work like that. and though it saddens me to know I carry it with me even as I get better, it feels comforting to know that even on good days, my trauma and my feelings about it will continue to remain just as valid even when I'm feeling at my best, and not just at my worst.
