[RE:Mind Archive] Trauma Breaking Weekly Series Vol.02

Product Overview

This is not just a collection of essays; it is a “survival report” from the front lines of a private war against CPTSD (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Through seven distinct perspectives, I explore the intersection of neurological science, philosophical inquiry, and the raw reality of reclaiming a life from trauma.

The 7 Chapters of Recovery

1. A War I Fight Alone

• Focus: My daily “exposure training” through walking 12,000 to 20,000 steps.

  +1

• Insight: I detail how a simple walk becomes a battlefield, where physical symptoms like tension headaches and “brain fog” manifest as my body remains in a constant state of alert.

  +2

2. Is Enlightenment Always Right?

• Focus: A philosophical critique of “responsibility-free enlightenment”.

  +1

• Insight: Inspired by the drama Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin, I question whether revealing the “truth” of an unfair system leads to happiness or merely destroys the quiet pride of those living within it.

  +2

3. A Tangled Skein

• Focus: The psychology of beginning a difficult task.

• Insight: I compare recovery to untangling a knotted thread—it looks impossible until you touch it. I argue that what we need is not proof of ability, but the courage to simply begin.

  +2

4. By Mere Existence

• Focus: How certain people become traumatic triggers through their presence alone.

  +1

• Insight: Using Polyvagal Theory and the works of Judith Herman, I explain why the body senses danger faster than logic can correct it, making another person’s existence feel like an act of violence.

  +3

5. The Sound of Rain

• Focus: The sensory comfort and safety found in rainfall.

• Insight: I reflect on how rain acts as a “curtain” that quiets the world, offering a moment of rest where it is finally okay to do nothing.

  +1

6. All of a Sudden

• Focus: An account of a sensory-based dissociative episode during a shower.

  +1

• Insight: I describe the terrifying moment my body felt icy cold under scalding water and the auditory hallucinations—echoes of past trauma—carried by the sound of the running water.

  +3

7. The Postmodernism of Charm

• Focus: A belief in the power of nurture and human agency over genetic determinism.

• Insight: I challenge the idea that we are merely “survival machines” for our DNA, arguing instead that our choices for happiness and partnership are driven by personal will and modern satisfaction.
