I don’t remember most of my childhood either but I don’t think anything happened I just think it’s because I have aphantasia. I have PTSD from a much more recent event and I rarely get emotional telling the story because I’m not remembering the incident I’m remembering the story I told the first time and retelling the story. In my head there’s a big difference, if I’m at home and I’m actually thinking or remembering the incident I will get instantly upset but I can dissect the story in my head. Problem is I think for treatment to work I need to put them together not keep them seperate.

Thank you for answering my question. I was the EMDR question. I would say it is accurate that I don’t like attention and I like helping others. I’ll have to think more about whether my struggles are because I have a hard time focusing on myself. Thank you for your detailed answer.

Looking back I was a disordered eater but once I went into a major depressive disorder, the disordered eating became a full blown eating disorder. Working on my depression cured about 95% of the binge eating disorder. Thx Kati

Happy Thursday Kati! Never been this early for an upload. I relate to the first question. I struggle with binge eating and have done so since I was a teen. (20 years) I think mine started from being emotionally neglected in my house. My parents did their best, but it still hurts sometimes. A lot of times I feel powerless against my eating impulses.

question 8 sounds like internalized ableism. i remember this from the beginning of my autistic discovery journey (in my FORTIES). You are allowed to have needs that need to be met and learn what those are and how they might be different from typical.

Thanks for this incredible resource. Please can someone tell me how I ask a question for one of the podcasts where Kati asks questions? I have something I'd really like to ask. Thanks

I went to PHP and it was in group room, had a dietitian, therapist and doctors. We were there a few hours. Then we went home. IOP is a few hours a like 2-3 hours and one meal support. I am out patient right now. I am waiting on my therapy appointment right now and struggling so i really need to meet with them. It was recommended to me to go to residential treatment so maybe that is my next step. I am unsure. Also i can relate to not eating when i am hungry because i don’t have hunger cues

Thank you so much for answering my question Kati! Also, your book (Traumatized) arrived in the mail today and I’m super excited to start reading it 😊

Thanks Kati
