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