Went to the shopping centre today, for the first time in weeks. While there, I spotted all the adult colouring books now readily available. They have become so popular.
Until now, I have purchased children’s colouring books, but these adult ones are definitely better.
So, I treated myself to one 🙂
This one has famous quotes in it and I spotted ones by Carl Jung, C.S.Lewis.
Colouring-in, has great benefits for stress relief, anxiety reduction, mindfulness and are also great for inner child healing.
I embrace it. I enjoy it.
There are even classes/groups you can attend for adult colouring. Thinking of maybe joining one….

I too have ptsd, also having depression (of course) and explosive personality disorder and have had similar to what you described as a childhood very violent and dangerous. My daughter today just bought me the same book. A different version though as your one she was looking for she couldn’t find.
She thought it would be great for me to get off the pc where I spend a lot of my time and maybe focus on something else.
We shall see. I’m glad to find your page. Your writing about hypervigilance was very much a confirmation on what I have but never knew why, as I have always been in denial. Now I am addressing it. 😊
Thanks for your page.
