Episode 4: Thanksgiving 2020 and CPTSD - Survive Your Family Gathering

Out of My Mind in Costa Rica-Living with CPTSD

Today's episode is about Thanksgiving and what that means when you have PTSD. I really wanted to get this episode out to you sooner, but life had different plans for me. Fortunately, I was unencumbered with a social event on this most holy of holy holidays for me. I loved Thanksgiving and still do. Today is the first time I have not had a group meal on Thanksgiving in my life. First time alone.
I spent most of the day working on this episode and took a time out to watch the Detroit Lions get their asses kicked by Houston. There is small rant about the Lions in today's episode. Please forgive me, it's a curse from growing up in Michigan.
Please give it a listen and let me know what you think. Also please pass it along if you know someone who you think will benefit from my perspective and experiences with PTSD and C-PTSD. It will be greatly appreciated.
Here are a couple of websites that may be helpful for the holidays.
