have COMPASSION for yourself
THIS SECTION OF BLOGS for CPTSD is based specifically on what doctors rn say in an easy search about “HEALING CPTSD”.
This research repeated says “SELF - COMPASSION”.
Here at Kyley Diamond Inc. we believe that COMMUNITY CARE and GIVING AND RECEIVING LOVE are essential for healing trauma.
However, this started very specifically as for someone who would listen to doctors and then move my way.
This is why there’s no section on JOY or SPIRITUALITY, both very important for healing trauma.

FOOD comes in big with LOVE. I have some ideas brewing up.
one I learned in Jordan- put a couple of cardamom pods in your coffee <3
((box is example only, came up when I searched “PINK tea box, is a love blend by a brand called PUKKA, mine would be different))
LOVE bath bombs - on the self-LOVE list it says PAMPER yourself. VIBEOLOGY could have a line of loving luxurious bath products.

ngl the overall tone of this is, for me, a little “how to LOVE yourself while improving every day”.
even calling “self-LOVE” doing things for your future self- what about your present self? or are they the same self? some structure to plan around still.

while I have a different path than the “control your thoughts/control your feelings/control your anger/don’t react to anything/avoid situations” vibe of BUDDHISM sometimes, it’s good to chew on lots of ideas.
he specifies not to be silent or tolerating, which come from FEAR. don’t FEAR being ANGRY or AVOID being ANGRY, but do CONTROL your ANGER. in a way that’s asking for a diagram.
like if we are together I would like to be able to show you when I’m ANGRY. but I don’t want you to feel AFRAID of me because I let out ANGER in a SAFE way. (EDIT THIS)

GRIEVE losses
WORKBOOKS:
SEPERATE WORKBOOK on GRIEF.
WORKSHEETS:
when you say something and you find yourself choking back tears it’s because you need to cry it out.
treat yourself to a cry.
avoiding having a cry about a thing will fuel overthinking about other things later.
something else I can see in VIBEOLOGY and my own experience is how to keep your memories sorted out. like after a hard time sometimes we go “everything about that person was the worst ever”. but reality is some of those memories were LOVE or JOY and idk if we’re not putting those things in the wrong categories when we don’t GRIEVE correctly.
consider: What to do with letters when you’re done?
this worksheet is not made by Kyley Diamond. I found it online, the website is broken. added to give structure to MEMORY BOX idea if you need the prompts.
during which stage of GRIEF are you the hardest to be around? and who deals with you anyway?
ngl I’m pretty scary in a few of these places. like how far will go you to avoid your feelings? Luckily I cope with Bargaining. no wait.
HERBAL HELPERS:
essential oil roller to release GRIEF
bath sachets with herbs to move GRIEF
((please note I’m aware of my bad photoshop job. I think I am cute enough to get away with it. I image search products and roughly put labels on, they are not the products that will soon exist))
CONSIDER: drugs! the earth has provided so many friends to help us with our brains. there’s new scientific research or tens of thousands of years of human practice for using certain plants to help us if we get stuck in any of the stages of GRIEF.
(((ps I like saying “drugs” because it makes people uncomfortable but obvs they are medicines. please take reasonable doses with people who can support you.)))

GUIDED MEDITATION, SOUND HEALING:
SOUND HEALING - Lungs Energetic Relief! Release Sadness and GRIEF Imprints from your Lungs
MUSIC: Albums that helped you through the GRIEVING process
((one that jumps out to me is Sea Change by Beck, one of the saddest sounding albums that reminds me of New Zealand. there are definitely SONGS FOR GRIEVING playlists coming. music/other people’s emotional expression helps us with ours))
VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUES:
imagine GRIEF is a friend who you love. I’ve made my friend SADNESS super cute, but you could give them sad body language obvs.
RESOURCES // OTHER THOUGHTS:
on transforming ANXIETY by telling your story and making something out of it.
the more you make other people cry the less GRIEF you have to feel yourself.

GRIEF WORKSHEETS from THERAPISTS AID. ((usually I make VIBEOLOGY worksheets inspired by books/videos/diagrams/my experiences/other peoples experiences. however, on GRIEF I felt like I was missing something, so i looked up more worksheets.
but I wasn’t missing anything it’s basically just writing down the hard thing, telling someone the hard thing, and crying a lot. remembering to eat and hydrate. so there are more worksheets for this here- some of them I have been brewing on already and appreciate the structure provided so an inspired VIBEOLOGIZED version is coming.))
