Car accident created psychological trauma

Questions and Comments
#1

I’ve been in a pretty bad car accident and as a passenger I saw all of it happen without being in control of the driving.

A car coming in the opposite direction wasn’t paying attention and went into our lane going around a curve on a two-lane highway. He went straight instead of curving with his lane. It was completely his fault and admitted it immediately after the accident. If the driver in my car hadn’t reacted in time it would have been a headon collision (we were both driving 50mph). It totalled the car the rear of the car was destroyed.

Now after the accident when I’m driving and going around a curve in the road similar to the accident I get a reactive somatic response like a mini panic attack. It happens at least once every time I drive now.

What sub could I run that would help with this?

regeneration, if it’s intense, I’d even start with a name embedded title GLM + Essence: Inner Spa - that combo feels the same, but is way more sustainable, and is about containing the chaos within and turning it into order, handling chaos better (GLM), as much as it’s about healing and working through chaos/trauma (regen)

My experience of it anyways ^

Spartan Apex, Hero Origins, or subs with nervous system regulation may fit the bill.

Since it’s context specific and you’re already exposing yourself to it when you drive, seems like a sub that’ll help you trust your body to respond to the present moment and let go of the fear of what-if should help you breathe through the curves.

There are good proposals,
I’ll add that you were not responsible and nothing you could have done would have prevented that, this isn’t something you can control.

Still your body react with fear and anticipation of hurt.
I’d say combining GLM (for emotional resilience, understanding there was nothing you could have done better than you did since it was an external event imposed on you)
with a title with nervous system regulation that may anchor you in the present, in parasympathetic mode. In a feeling of renewed control.

This event imposed on you made you feel, maybe, like you weren’t in control of your life, you didn’t drive back then and the other driver went into your lane.
But this is not quite true, while this event was out of your hands, you are in control of your life, of how you react to this and how you will act driving in the future based on that.

Now idk what regulation sub would be best, but I tend to agree with Jouissance that Regen might be the way
So yeah, GLM+Regen as Jouissance said (and maybe discuss this event and how it made you feel with someone you trust)

To throw that in: EMDR is supposed to be very effective with handling shock trauma.
Subs are definitley an addition but since this is happening when you are operating a car, I would recommend professional care. Take care of yourself :heart:

Since the accident I have been running Regeneration and when I need it new Paragon for pain. It’s amazing how well they work. So my intuition was right to run Regeneration. I plan on running Paragon Vitality as soon as it drops.

Thank you everyone!
