I have done a lot of work over the last several years to release the impact of the abuse that led to C-PTSD in my world. I’m now able to do things like giving up sugar, which has freed me up enormously, and was a signal that those old abuse issues didn’t have the same hold on me as before.
But one result of all this work – incredible clarity!
I now know what to do in situations with a certainty and clarity that was just not available to me. It wasn’t available while I was in the fog of dealing with PTSD issues. I don’t know if that clarity has ever been available to me like right now, because I had those PTSD issues from the time I was 8 years old.
An Example
So here’s how that clarity looks.
I had a client buy a job late Saturday night to write a script for him. I specifically asked him if he wanted an informational or story script. He said story, and even gave me a great example.
I wrote the script and sent it to him.
He responded what he really wanted was a “commercial video” type script. He hadn’t mentioned this at all before. Plus, the term is so vague, I could spend a LOT of time trying to figure out what this guy wanted.
I sent him an email saying I had delivered what he wanted, and I was now really confused.
I remembered what a guy said years ago “Any time I start feeling confused, I think dysfunction is at work.”
I then promptly sent the guy a cancellation request, before I ever heard back from him. No wasting time on back and forth while he couldn’t define what he wanted.
No hesitation. No uncertainty.
It was there, and I saw it, and I did it!
WOW!
