"If you allow yourself to be known by God, you invite a different and frankly more terrifying experience. You are now in a position of vulnerability. If you permit others to know you, they can make their own assessment of your worth. They can react to you. You give them power to be affected by you, and in so doing, to affect you. You grant them the option to love you or to reject you. In essence you must, must, trust another with yourself. To be known is one of God's passions. While He desires for us to have the experience of being known by Him, just as important is His desire to experience being known by us. This is not simply for our benefit, as if He is not affected by us. He desires to be known by us.." Curt Thompson M.D, 'Anatomy of the Soul.'  Photo by Gerd Altmann - www.pixabay.com.
"To be known is one of God's passions. While He desires for us to have the experience of being known by Him, just as important is His desire to experience being known by us. This is not simply for our benefit, as if He is not affected by us. He desires to be known by us as much for what it does for Him as for what it does for us. And that is why the need to be right about God often gets us into trouble." Curt Thompson M.D, 'Anatomy of the Soul'.  Photo by Florian Pircher - www.pixabay.com.
"... you and I affect God as significantly as He affects us. Not in terms of ultimate power but rather in terms of the emotional valence, or level of intensity with which He feels. I believe He allows Himself to be deeply affected by our attitude toward Him, though often we don’t grasp this aspect of His character. After all, it is not easy for us to imagine that we have this much significance in God’s life. Our incredulity only emphasizes the shortcomings not only in what but also in how we have come to know things about God through our experiences in our families. More to the point, it emphasizes what our experience of being known has been like. You cannot know God if you do not experience being known by Him ..." Curt Thompson M.D, 'Anatomy of the Soul'.

I have level 1 autism and OCD. I spent most of my life trying to work out who I am. I had an identity as a child of God but not as a human being. The only way God could fix me was to break me into enough small pieces for who I am to emerge from the rubble, that frightened little girl who went into hiding so many decades ago. Now He is fixing me slowly but surely.

I think for me a #8 would be that they worked really, really hard to get at me while appearing harmless to my husband. I tell him everything. We have no secrets between us. There would be no point, he can read me like a book. I have never been afraid of them talking to him. But they have apparently been terrified of talking to him. For me that was always the evidence they actually know they're in the wrong. Only predators try to separate the vulnerable from their protectors.

Beautiful Godly Wisdom ✨
For 7 years I have done all I can to defend myself against a campaign of lies against me. The time for silence has arrived. I have done all I can, probably too much. It's time to leave it with God. No one is listening anyway. No one wants the truth if it doesn't agree with their story. Only God can fix this.

God’s guidance, like a reliable promise, is clear, direct and unmistakable. Anything else is just smoke and mirrors.

CPTSD creates a deep longing for safety, belonging you never actually experienced, leaving you searching for something you can't name or find.

That home waits for me in Heaven. 
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well. In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am." John 14:1-3

My trauma therapy has taught me to erect firm boundaries when I know people do not understand, or do not care about, adding to my PTSD.
