Meme: Gif of Pedro Pascal and Nicholas Cage riding in a convertible with the top down and looking at each other. Pedro's expression looks like he just shared something humorous. His caption is, "Abuse survivors sharing funny stories about their childhood." Nicholas' caption is, "Everyone else," and looks bewildered.

No, that's not what this gif is about.

It's commenting on the fact that sometimes abuse survivors share traumatic stories as if they're normal or even funny, when in reality, compared to a normal upbringing they're actually incredibly depressing or traumatic stories. Because to them, those stories were the normal seeming parts.

So sometimes they'll do this with no sense that it's a traumatic story - because it's far from the worst things they experienced.

When this happens, it has the mood of the two characters in this gif. So hope that explains it for you.

I know it’s bad when I rattle off some shit, deadpan, to my therapist and she furrows her brow like a disappointed teacher before saying “that is a fascinating upbringing”

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yep, or when you're doing EMDR and you open your eyes and your therapist is crying. That's how you know you've hit the good shit 👉😎👉

Thankfully, that only happened once. It honestly made me feel better, it was incredibly validating.
