Final review for Manchester by the Sea. Critique on characters who were dropped from storyline, and wish the ending had more of a solution for the character with past trauma.

Further review of Manchester by the Sea. Opening up when you have PTSD can take time but we see it finally happen. There will be one more review, after this one, for this film.

Review of Manchester by the Sea and I reference a few comedies related to PTSD because we need to laugh at ourselves sometimes. I also discuss a comedian I came across, Tom Ward, who focuses on Complex PTSD.

Give some details about what my next few episodes will be about. I'll be reviewing movies, TV shows, books that relate to PTSD or trauma.

Recently mentioned to someone that I wonder sometimes if maybe I have traumatic brain injury from an extreme car crash years ago. She recommended trying to see a neuropsychologist and I explain here what that is and how they treat you/what they test for.

Episode about ways to cope with irritability and anger. Found a hilarious YouTube channel where a woman and her husband, Jen and Jay, talk about some of great shows and movies, it's called Real Housewives Recaps. It's hilarious 😅

Interview with author Heather Carter about her book on transformation and hope and healing: Soul-Selfie.

My review of The Catcher in the Rye. I haven't read this since high school but in my opinion, and others agree, this is a book about a youth with PTSD. I've always loved this book and appreciate it even more after reading it as an adult.

Great show that has brought me personal joy and relief: Emily in Paris! Good to take a break from self-analysis and just relax. Relate to the French culture and it inspires me.

Two great articles on self-destruction, laziness, isolation and self-criticism and Remedies for these things, and how to acquire more energy for your daily life. Also loneliness and a remedy for that.

Equine (Horse) Therapy. More info on the benefits of working with horses for trauma, stress, anxiety, isolation, all based on a local place that has trained mental health and professional psychotherapy staff. I read from their website how this works. Enjoy!

Equine therapy, working with horses for PTSD, anxiety and depression, etc. My family history in England, current issues and how I found something really relatable to my current life situation in Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix, Lol, might sound silly but it's true.

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.
