She Overcame Her Past – and Healed PTSD
Summary
For nearly 20 years, she suffered severe PTSD from childhood abuse including mother's attempted drowning at age 4, persistent sexual abuse by police officer stepfather, experiencing chronic suicidal ideation that whispered or shouted constantly, panic attacks lasting 30 hours weekly (a "full-time job panicking"), and dissociation. After trying every medication, therapy (CBT, EMDR, IFS), diet, exercise, psilocybin, and ketamine with no success, she realized "I don't even want to heal" - the through-line was she was continuing her parents' abuse of herself. Upon reading Becoming Supernatural and doing the meditation, symptoms vanished for a week, then a month, then returned intensely before one final moment lying on the couch saying "no" to suicide - and since March of last year, not a single suicidal thought.
