A metaphor for PTSD, C-PTSD and other trauma based states of being. We sometimes view life as an hourglass⏳. At the bottom is past experience. At the top is future experience (but the top part isn’t visible: we don’t know how much we have.) The middle is the ‘present moment’. 1/ Common advice is to “live in the moment” - the middle part, where the sand is flowing, in the here and now. But with PTSD, C-PTSD and other trauma-based conditions, there isn’t just one hourglass. There can be many, but in only one is the sand still flowing.
