Who wouldn't be anxious

If you knew life like i knew my life, you would be anxious too. No matter what i do, no matter what I try nothing works, it seems pointless to even try.

And my family, they  have no idea; all they can do is challenge me, put me down.

Stop hiding, 

Stand up and be counted

Get out, take a chance 

Try to make friends

Clean up your room

 You're not even trying

They don't understand, and i can...

There is an English comic named Jimmy Carr, and for the most part, his jokes are crude and vulgar and not the fare of any good-standing Christian and yet; many of his audience ask him for life advice, and he never fails not to disappoint, hats off to the man.

In the latest clip I saw of him interacting with his audience, a young man going through a divorce asked Jimmy how he maintains his mental health,...

The truth about depression and ptsd will save you from a world of hurt if you can approach it with an open mind.

Depression & PTSD find their form, meaning, and purpose in past events, in our history.

When we go back, or attempt to give life to that dead thing, in our history, we are attempting to resuscitate the death, decay, and disease of a dead thing in the present, and it is destroying everyone and everything it touches.

T...

This is the truth that shall set you free, if you can cultivate an open mind and simply understand that all of your anxiety and panic is a healthy warning call to action,  in the face of a fear you have of someth...

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 diagnosis and fit ourselves to 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 wasn't necessary; having been baptize...

So many  people feel without purpose in their lives, they get caught up in their feelings and this can lead to terrible despondency, despair, depression and a complete pointless sense of hopelessness.

The  trick is to find some meaning  and purpose by being of service  to others.

Go down to the lo...

Anxiety is a Call to Action.

Recall your first anxious moments before you were diagnosed.

understand when you were anxious, this was God trying to tell you to

Flight

Fight

Freeze

Fawn

Faith

Acceptance

Understand Freeze & Fawn are healthy coping skills for young children. They are not the responses for us as we get older, from adolescence to adulthood. And so we learn to use one of the other responses:

choose Flight- to run away...

My guest today, a childhood trauma survivor, took the path of recovery to go from Victim to Survivor to Victor and today a Helper.

Saw Myint, became a committed Buddhist, which helped her to heal more and, in turn, to help others to heal too.

Experience can matter more than knowledge; we no longer allow our trauma to play a part in our lives. This is a truth of Buddha.

In the whole world, there is only the mind and the body.

As hum...

Trauma Recovery Anonymous promotes that our meaning and purpose can only be found in life and living today.

What happened in our past happened to a different aspect of who we are today.

I am a grown man, 65 years of age, a husband, father and trauma recovery coach 

. The aspect of me who suffered a traumatic event 53 years ago was a 12-year-old child. he was the victim of that event

I am the survivor today.

We are different as...

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 be able to walk away from it.

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 change on it.

Depression is a God-given...

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 for mankind, in her eyes. this...

Dr. Glenn rose from the ashes of a misspent youth, and at aged 37, had a spiritual awakening,   experiencing an awakening as to  how he could help others return to the path of life.

In his experience, psychotherapy wasn't enough for himself and for many of his patients.

Dr. Glenn believes we need to cultivate our hearts. After reading the teachings of a Chinese philosopher, a chap called " Mensha," he learned that ma...

I am not a conspiracy theorist, and I don't believe Ellen is either, but Ellen shares her truth, of her own life experience, and how she fights for the rights of the individual

 In Ellen's own words, It is a cheap solution to medicate individuals, rather that look for  a fuller more  rounded solution

This is Ellen's journey, her courageous knowledge and experience to tell people;  it's a good thing to  spea...

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.

We choose affirmative action to stay fully present in the present, this gift from God.

We see that what happened in the past happened to our inner child; they were the victim of their trauma

We sit in the present hour, in the her...

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 to accept it didn't happen to the ...

it was with great pleasure that I met with Keirsme. I am always on the lookout for guests with hope to offer, and especially with a message of hope that can differ from my own.

Kerisme whole program focuses on a loving kindness approach to self care.

On her journey to recovery, after attempting to resurrect her life through 14 years of 12 step recovery, her old demons came back to haunt her, and Kerisme fell to those demons, overco...

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 remain members of His flock, we had...
