The (Complex) PTSD Guy

This is a 10 minute meditation visualization that I have used for a couple years. I created this one and find it simple and effective. I became certified in meditation a few years ago.

How my resolution from last year is still successful today, what I did different and a new show I find relatable with characters who have been through trauma, it's entertaining too, called Yellowstone.

Met a local author who wrote an inspiring book called Soul-Selfie. You might find it inspiring and relatable too. Relates to topics I've discussed before.

Understanding your inner Turmoil, or repressed aspects of yourself. How to let go of them. Video based on Carl Jung psychiatric work.

Finally found a great video on solutions to overcoming self-sabotage. Very well explained. My own recent experiences with my own self-sabotage and recently looked at office space for my own massage business. Connecting with others is discussed in video and that is what I struggled with, so very relatable.

Text last night from trusted source asking me to spread the word, and recent motivation in my own life that inspired me to change for the better.

Getting out more, top ten things I'm thankful for, and fascinating show about living with and confronting trauma.

Starting my own business and teaching history in a more unique way. Asked to be part of movement to preserve local history.

This podcast addresses using medications for various mental health reasons, in comparison to not using and/or adjusting your learning style and lifestyle. How I learned what helps me to get info into my long-term memory and focus better. All based on my own life experiences and recent info I learned about youth who have ADD/ADHD.

Outing with colleagues, highly recommend a bar/club in Alton, Illinois, called Fast Eddie's (and you don't have to drink there to have a blast), our haunted tour, and putting my foot in my mouth which probably isn't as big of a deal as I tend to make it.

Just a short list of movies about people with PTSD. There is a theme in how we relate to others when we have PTSD.

Realizing how bad dwelling on my PTSD has been on me, because I recently saw the light at the end of the tunnel. And how to talk about this taboo topic, in my own opinion from experience.

PTSD and negative smartphone use, correct article. Several other articles mentioned too.

Examples of the benefits of not isolating, repairing relationships, finishing up work I had put off and looking back at bad influences that I've severed.

My state of mind is much better since cutting out things that really weren't good for a complex PTSD brain.

How my recent purging of bad influences led me to cooking again and my craving for beef stew led me to a great teacher, Julia Child.

Great article about the horrible effects of cell phone use, can lead to depression and anxiety, and how I think we should engage with our "cell phones".

Recent events that made me change who/what my influences are on a daily basis.

No more nightmares, better sleep and my drinking has gotten better.

How my first hypnosis treatment went. Focus on alcohol abuse and better sleep.

Put your positives in places you see daily, so that way you use them regularly.

Two recent life events, threats and feelings of being under attack. There is a silver lining.

Strange Occurrences related to my podcast. What my alcohol abuse may really be about.

Insight into why therapy may not be working for us. Found a very relatable TV show that is eerily similar to my own immediate family and upbringing: The Sopranos.

How my recent trip to Disney World Florida was a great thing for me. Helped me see my environment differently and make me want to stop drinking. Villains are an important part of learning lessons in life. Ursula is my personal favorite ;-)
