- In the most intimate moments with my partner my eyes close or slide away on their own
- Sometimes a piece of music or a line in a film sends a wave of chills right up my arms, and instead of paying any attention to it I brush it off as "just a draft" and move on

Practices that may help
- Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET): Weaving Trauma Into a Coherent Life Story
Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), developed by Schauer, Neuner, and Elbert, is a structured short-term treatment for PTSD that works by having the client construct a detailed narrative of their entire life — placing traumatic events within a larger biographical context, rather than isolating them. Multiple randomized trials in refugee and war-affected populations show significant, durable reductions in PTSD symptoms. NET is particularly suited to complex and repeated trauma where individual events cannot easily be isolated. - Eyes-open intimacy: contact without merger
Practice making genuine eye contact during vulnerable or sexual moments as an act of self-disclosure rather than merger.

Awe and the Small Self - Neuroception: How Your Nervous System Reads Safety Before Your Mind Does
Neuroception is Stephen Porges’s term for the nervous system’s below-awareness process of continuously scanning for safety, danger, and life threat. It is a useful and evocative concept for understanding why you can feel safe or threatened without knowing why — and why conscious reassurance often cannot override a felt sense of danger. The subcortical threat-detection mechanism is well established in neuroscience; the specific polyvagal anatomical account of neuroception is Porges’s theoretical framework and is debated among researchers. - Use NET for sequential and complex trauma
Unlike single-event protocols, NET is specifically designed for people who have experienced multiple traumas.
Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET): Weaving Trauma Into a Coherent Life Story - Work the four channels of traumatic memory: sense, emotion, cognition, meaning
NET explicitly addresses all four channels in which trauma is encoded — not just thought.
Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET): Weaving Trauma Into a Coherent Life Story - Apply self-compassion directly to shame
Shame says "I am bad"; self-compassion says "I am human, and this is hard" — these are not the same claim, and one of them is accurate.
Shame Resilience, Made Practical - Speak shame before you act from it
Shame drives automatic behavior — disconnecting, attacking, numbing — before we are aware of it. The pause to name and speak shame changes the behavioral outcome.
Shame Resilience, Made Practical - Write the observer’s account of the event
Write a third-person account of what an average observer actually saw — not what you felt.
