SMARTER THAN TRAUMA Podcast

Send us Fan Mail What helps. What harms. Once I share, couldn't anyone just pretend? Why the boundary is created because if you're IN, you're IN & if you're not, I don't know how to get IN. IN what? That trust thing. Once it's gone, I don't think there's a way to re-establish it since in the past, just automatic acceptance. Life is too short, but now, it...

Send us Fan Mail ...people that use mental health as a shield knowing most of us will accept & NOT QUESTION. That's it. Let's do the opposite & question them.  Don't do what they do & I like to say, "I do not reinforce the behaviors I DO NOT LIKE." Support the show

Send us Fan Mail The initial realization was 2 seasons in & then realized that guy is a ghost! Should've explained that so now we explain and ask, who's the main character? Male or Female is stuck? Old or Young? Keep it simple. Then with 40 minutes to go, "hey, how do you think it's going to end?" Will they survive? & HOW.  Let's move away from WHY (neglect/ab...

Send us Fan Mail I'm remembering things! While talking, thinking, "that'd be a great cover art to this since when I said it, I saw it."  Found recently since practicing turning the pages and why not notebooks now that TOUCH is back. Not reverberating & so was 1, 2, 3...over & over (a waltz), but add 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. STOP. That's case study. Longitudinal or over time....

Send us Fan Mail The focus is on getting IT done.  What is IT when IT is no longer indescribable trauma since it's easy to describe now meaning all the past memories disappear & I can sit with the adrenaline that, quite frankly, isn't there? Sharing a philosophy that I'm on the verge of losing since I'm no longer, for the first time, living with the ptsd that's driven...

Then, voices being my friends asking me Qs and our conversations until they totally got it pretending they didn't & WHY would anyone want to do that? Let's unlike CYCLIN...

Send us Fan Mail I mentioned my Italian Identity every time I saw "some" people because of the way they stereotyped ASIAN. The ruder they were the continuation of trying to establish a "classroom" I was. Now, define CLASSROOM.
