The video that Mark from Idaho has linked "You look fine" really helped me and my family.
It is hard to advocate for yourself and to take the solitary time/space required to heal.
You and your brain will learn to accept more complexity and chaos, but it will take time. You try and learn.
Be well and kind to yourself.
