The No-Self of Complex Trauma - Kay Turner

“Know Thy-Self” - “To thine own Self be true”

Easier said than done.

Complex trauma = no Self

Self never was.

How then to be true?


Complex trauma = no truth.

What truth?

Truth never formed.

Never seen or experienced.


“Be YourSelf”

Dread followed by shame. More shame. Toxic. Endless.


Complex trauma = shame.

What’s my Self?

Who am I again?

Have I ever been?

Am I?

Here?


“Love Yourself”

Please stop.

I can’t.

I have no Self.

Am I enlightened?

With no real Self.

Not helpful.


As a human. Trying to live as me.



 

"I am a teacher, facilitator, researcher and writer. I facilitate individual, collective and institutional evolution through education, embodiment and creativity, and the amalgamation of metacognition, intuition and instinct, unifying the mundane and sacred."
