Trauma Recovery Anonymous

We have to climb out of the Nest of Vipers that is Depression & PTSD. There was a time when we were as normal as could be, considering we were carrying around demons from our past. One day, we went for help and were told the problem and solution was that we were mentally ill, we had a mental disorder. But unlike any normal medical diagnosis, for this to work, we had to fully embrace the diagno...

I have been challenged by thoughts and ideas about whether I was ever a Christian, which is compelling me to face this truth. I recall as a child being baptized as an infant in our local Roman Catholic church, and I believed, my parents believed, I was baptized into the Christian faith. But over time, I have come to question this. As s roman catholic, I never bothered to read the bible, that it wa...

If only we would teach all children that all of their feelings, the good ones and the bad ones, are calls to action; our Instincts in action; the world would be a better place. When we feel anxious, that is God telling us there is something in the future that threatens our sense of well-being. That we are to take some form of affirmative action now in the present to prepare for that event, or to b...

Depression is caused by not being able to break free of the past. But the issue here is the fact that the past is not ours to suffer in the present. What happened in the past happened to our inner child, and we only exist in this one hour, here and now today. We can't step back into any of our yesterdays, and for this simple reason, the past is not ours to suffer, because we cannot effect any chan...

Jessica came from a very Christian family home that wasn't exactly healthy. Unfortunately, the message she experienced as a child, was that she was a mistake, an error. Despite all of her troubles in her family home, what made sense to her was that her story was similar to the story of Jesus, in her personal opinion, the sense of abandonment by her  father, was relatable to Jesus being sacrificed...

https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-64x4g-1af20e7 We are not burying our heads in the sand to deny Depression or PTSD.  We choose not to bury our heads in the sands of the past to deny Depression and PTSD.

There is only one solution to Depression & PTSD. That solution is to understand depression and ptsd find their purpose and meaning in what happened to our inner child, and therefore, they have no right, rhyme, or reason for us to invite them into our present. Understandably, we can't just bury our heads in the sand and pretend that what happened in the past wasn't hurtful. But we can be honest...

At some point, every Christian must stand and voice their loyalty to God, our Father, the Creator of all. In this day and age of wokism, attacking the fabric of Christian society, and the invasion of Islam into the West, each Christian man, woman, and child needs to stand and be counted. Aside from the 10 Commandments, God made a covenant with the Jewish people for all eternity, and if we wish to...

The truth is the past is none of our business. Period. There can be no argument or discussion on this truth. We only exist in these 24 hours today, this one hour here and now, to be more precise. We can't even step back into yesterday, let alone a past trauma memory, and there is no guarantee the future might ever happen. All we have is this moment in time Bringing the past or future into the pres...

Recently, I saw a post on a social media group suggesting:  "Mental illness is not a choice, don't try to tell me it is." And I found it quite infuriating. Understandably, mental illness is a state of being, but this was posted on a site for anxiety & depression, making the argument that a mental disorder and a mental illness are one and the same.  That is the conditioned lie that has been foi...

Unfortunately, mental health professionals are few, and the number of people to be treated with mental and mood disorders far exceeds a manageable population. Therapists have to make their diagnosis within the first 15 minutes, so that they can offer their new client some form of a solution; but sadly, the idea that this diagnosis might be wrong, and yet have the power to rule and define that pers...

Understand that the adults in any child's upbringing are the first line of defense in teaching children that their feelings and emotions are not mental disorders, but rather they are their God-given instincts, their gut feelings to be trusted in the face of any danger. It's the adults in a child's life who know how to respond to anxiety and depression in healthier ways. They hold a safe place to p...

A thought must be taken for all mental health professionals, the hard, arduous task they have when it comes to diagnosing mental disorders. There is a passage in the Bible that expresses the dire situation they face. It talks about the harvest being great and not enough farmers.

I was delighted to have on my podcast, Amy Vincze, a fellow advocate of EFT; who went on to create her own evolved sense of EFT. If only ordinary people knew of the healing power of EFT, more and more people would use this all the more. I love the way Amy, like so many of us, found that the subject was the Cause and not the Effect. As we see with most mental disorders, the treatment is the focus b...
