December 14 – The ungrateful guest
From December 8 to 24, 2025, we will take you where no one wants to look: behind closed doors, beyond the polite smiles, into the beating heart of human relationships.
17 Days. 17 Stories. A single common thread.
Forget the Christmas fairytales. We will tell you the reality: the tension rising on Christmas Eve, the C-PTSD hiding behind a gift, the emotional dysregulation that turns a toast into a nightmare. But we will also tell you about hope.
Every day a story, every story a scientific truth. You will discover how the ASVS protocol, trauma measurement, and Biofeedback can rewrite an ending that seemed already written.
These are not just stories. They are mirrors in which to recognize oneself and tools for survival. The appointment is December 8th. Prepare to change your vision of Christmas.
AIPC & CIPR On the side of science, on the side of people.
Teresa
Teresa has hands marked by time and work, hands that have kneaded bread and cradled children. At 72, she should be enjoying the peace of her living room. Instead, she looks with pure terror at the door of her son's room—45 years old, moved back in with her after his marriage failed and he lost his job.
He doesn't speak; he grunts. He doesn't ask; he demands. Last night, he smashed the fine china set against the wall just because dinner wasn't ready on time.
Teresa now locks herself in her bedroom as soon as it gets dark, clutching her rosary between trembling fingers. She feels guilty; she thinks she did everything wrong as a mother, that she failed. She doesn't realize she is the perfect victim of a cruel, inverted dynamic, where the one who gave life risks losing it at the hands of her own child. Her home is no longer a refuge; it is an emotional prison where C-PTSD feeds on her maternal silence and the shame of reporting her own flesh and blood.
PROTECT YOURSELF, EVEN FROM YOUR LOVED ONES.
