Comparison Rage After Sexual Trauma: When Other People’s Normal Feels Like a Slap | Neurodivergent Women

I name comparison rage as the grief and fury that can sit underneath “I’m happy for them,” especially for trauma-experienced, neurodivergent women watching other lives look easy. I unpack where it shows up, why it makes sense in a survival-wired nervous system, and how to work with it without shame. • comparison rage as more than jealousy and why both love and rage can be true • how trauma and neurodivergence shape attachment, trust, and social fluency • support system gaps and why they are about starting conditions, not worth • relationship comparison and why calm can read as unsafe • body comfort after sexual trauma and the weight carried in the nervous system • career and workplace politics built for neurotypical brains • parenting while healing and the invisible labor of doing better • intimacy, touch, and the freeze response as survival wiring • medical system dismissal and the extra burden on neurodivergent women • practical tools: name it, journal it, grieve specifically, stop poking holes, build support on purpose Work With Me IndividuallyI offer trauma-informed therapy for high-achieving women navigating:• Complex trauma• Late-diagnosed ADHD or autism• Nervous system dysregulation• Relational pattern healingIf you’d prefer one-on-one support, book a free 15-minute consultation here:http://linktr.ee/EmpoweringWellnessHubGood Music for Healing🎵 **Divine Woman Playlist (Apple Music):** https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/divine-woman/pl.u-leyl096uMoD885jYou’re not alone. We’re healing together.Connect with me about this episode!Support the show
