Send us Fan Mail The WORST is when someone can't answer a question. Make the question a Y/N question. Then really listen to their answer. Still can't answer? They're trying to get ahead (deflect, distract, emote by sharing their mental health or trauma or call you mentally ill or use your trauma against you). I am reminded, but the DIFFERENCE is it's not in my body. Finally! It...

(I do sound "elevated") Predator & Prey <---the cats & putting bird seed on the balcony so they would "stalk" the birds & could remove "stalking." Support the show

Send us Fan Mail The NEXT GOAL once I could a) hear self, b) control ptsd, c) ID suicide/SI & "flick" it away (yay!) & realize that universe really does align. The very thing I've been doing---holding all this paperwork was/is a necessary thing, sure, but the evidence is in the LIFE ANEW created.  In special ed, as the teacher/writer, I wrote 4 goals (one per quarter) + a st...

Send us Fan Mail There were 3x before assaults. 2x post. Let's just flip flop between the two & see what happens.  If you have MULTIPLE MEMORIES about the same behavior. ME SAYING NO.

Send us Fan Mail The people who understood that I was dealing with life & death & that I would remember ever PTSD moment. That's why we have PTSD? To never forget ____. That person who died.  Survivor's guilt.  Finally MM/mm. Support the show

Send us Fan Mail That inhale of breath is last sound in this audio recording to say "enough is enough." I hear those who took advantage. This is what they think & do. The memories stay the same. Even if they "change," their "core" will remain the same.  Support the show

They may change themselves so the accuser is "crazy," or change who they are so there's no pattern, but to announce it---that's the freaky part.  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail As I look for ONE THING IN PARTICULAR. A letter from my PCP who summed up all diagnoses & contained 10,000s of pieces of paper over how many years, I'm finding other things, too... Support the show

Send us Fan Mail The thing I will not say & now is HOW I KNOW 100% I am no longer expressive with trauma, but can hear self is...

Send us Fan Mail FAMILY | the caretakers & then a behavior I just newly UNDERSTOOD with these “other” families. Right. The “other” which are those who don’t think like “us.” There was something else I heard, prompting me to take notes, but lost it, but looking at the circle moving along & the number 23:25 so knowing in 1/4ths. At around 6 minutes or before, I could hear it again.  The shoc...

Send us Fan Mail What about those icky places in contrast? Like a storage closet (the worst) instead of a classroom (the best). Make every day in every way a classroom. HMMMM Ruh Roh. I'm thinking now!!! Support the show

Send us Fan Mail How do you treat people in these relationships & HAVE GRATITUDE. That’s right. Increase G to decrease "C word"/Complaints & why keep reliving it!!!! I GOT THIS!!!!

Send us Fan Mail The right side? Using words for good. To end suicide instantly by saying ONE MORE DAY. MAKE IT ONE MORE DAY (usually nighttime is the worst) but the point, give them HOPE every day.
