The journey of recovering from complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) is a deeply personal and transformative process that involves understanding and integrating past traumatic experiences and fostering a compassionate relationship with oneself. Tanner, an educator with extensive experience in this realm, provides a nuanced perspective on CPTSD recovery, viewing it as a developmental pathway that requires not only structure and progression but also a communal support system.

Through her work, Tanner advocates for creating a shared knowledge base within the CPTSD community, which is essential for enhancing communication, precision, and collective support, ultimately leading individuals from a place of darkness toward embracing future possibilities.

Quotes: 

“You cannot make it through unburdening every Part, Energy, and Entity without mastering the milestone of full permission.” — Tanner [09:41]

“In the CycleBreaking frequency, we want to show up grounded, radiating Self Energy. In our healing containers, we want to understand what the blocks and barriers are to full expression of the truths, Parts, Energies, and Entities.” — Tanner [15:50]

“Once things can be vocalized, Parts, Energies, or Entities can be expressed, there’s permission to channel Parts in safe, structured – healing containers, you [start] to move and soften blocks. What needs to be spoken out loud can be witnessed.” — Tanner[19:05]

“What are the emotions and energies that constrict or constrain full permission in healing containers? Can I get curious about this? What does this show me and all me about [the next things I need to] to explore in my CPTSD recovery?” — Tanner [27:19]
