Continuous Traumatic Environment, Part II
In this episode I continue the conversation about CTE - Continuous Traumatic Environment. This is the area of understanding how living with continuous trauma effects us. In these episodes about CTE I discuss examples of a CTE, and then go into extensive conversation about what living in such an environment leads to. Go back an episode to hear the first in this series. In this episode I talk about how people living in CTEs cope, and how this effects their personality, what character traits this can hone, all in an effort to stay healthy, whole, and emotionally regulated throughout. These effects continue naturally after one is no longer in that traumatic environment. Dismantling the default behaviors used to cope in an unhealthy environment so that one can adapt to living healthfully in a healthy environment is a healing journey of discovery and practice that many embark on to be able to live a balanced life post trauma. I go into some of those issues here, and will continue that discussion in later episodes.
