Trauma Body, Trauma brain
When a person lives in a trauma body and has a trauma brain, they are conditioned to certain chemicals consistently being released in the brain and throughout the body. Those chemicals are associated with the fight/flight response. When the person finds themselves in a healthy, safe situation, their trauma body and trauma brain has to catch up with that feeling of safety. It’s foreign and can…

Happy Spring
Can you believe we’ve made it to Spring 2023? It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. I miss it, but I rarely have time to for it anymore. The last 18 months for me have involved a great deal of mental health construction and healing. I’ve been on a mission to become better acquainted with myself. It seems that I’ve been in a serious relationship throughout my entire life. For the last year and a…

Reflections and forward thinking
Wishing all of you a Happy New Year! Love and light to you in the coming months!
Here we are again at the end of another year; another year of the “new normal” has come and gone, and I know I’m not the only one who’s over it. Still, I wanted to try to end this year on a positive note. It’s been a while since I’ve written in my blog, so I thought “Why not?” This year, as most before it, has been filled with ups and downs, twists and turns, and lessons. I ended a 3.5 year…

"Get into the box!"
“Get into the box!”
Have you ever felt like you were being shoved into a box, metaphorically of course (or at least I hope it’s metaphorical)? Right now there are so many things going on in the world that it can be difficult to keep up. One of the many things I keep my eye on is the use of politically correct language. It seems to me that folks are afraid to say anything. Everything has become so polarized and…

Stability and Comfort
It has been a VERY long time since I have written in my blog. The chaos of life takes over and consumes my time. However, I am thankful for that. It means that I don’t have a lot of downtime to be anxious or depressed, although that creeps in all too often. Abraham Maslow was a Humanistic Psychologist. He gave us the Hierarchy of Needs. He believed that if we hit the wickets on the hierarchy we…

The Country I Love
The Country I Love
Each day I wake up to a fresh hell via Facebook or MSM. This morning I learned that another statue had been vandalized via decapitation. One of my favorite movies is on the hate list (Gone with the Wind), Paw Patrol is under attack, and The Dukes of Hazzardis in danger again. I have never seen tensions this high in my lifetime. I have never seen people going to these extremes. Six city…

Compared to What?
This is going to be a bit of a rant, but with everything that’s going on in the world, I don’t think my tiny little voice will matter much. However, I have always found that blogging makes me feel somewhat better. As someone with mental health training, I recommend journaling to any of my clients. Blogging, I think, is much like journaling.
In the last week or so, I have been stirred by the…

Pride Month & Speaking with Love in Our Hearts
Pride Month & Speaking with Love in Our Hearts
Hi everyone. I hope everyone out there is safe given the predicaments we have found ourselves in during this year. A Pandemic and then mass riots/racial tension is not what I think any of us had in mind for 2020.
I have to say how sad I am to see such division in America. It makes me sick. Seeing national monuments being trashed by rioters is hard to stomach. I never thought I would live to…

When It Isn't Okay
When It Isn’t Okay
Everyone makes mistakes, but when do those mistakes become a pattern? Our brain is built to gravitate toward patterns, which is why we tend to see faces in everything. So, it stands to reason that we recognize patterns in human behavior. The importance of this isn’t just recognition, but taking action once the distinct pattern emerges.
I posted something on Facebook today, and I really feel like…

The journey
The last 16 months has been a lot for me to work through and understand. In the process I have hurt people, but I’ve also been hurt. However, there comes a time when we have to look passed our hurts and rise above all of the things that have tried to tear us down. Walking away from an unhealthy relationship can be a culture shock for just about anyone. When you’ve been out of the game for as long…

Is happiness a choice?
Is happiness a choice?
The simple answer to this? Yes. Every single one of us has gone through things that hurt. Some of those things impact our overall mental health. Some of those things just leave a few lacerations that eventually heal.
Since my last post, I have been working diligently to overcome some of the insecurities I have. It isn’t easy. It is an excruciating process. However, I believe that a…

The Hell that is Insecurities
The Hell that is Insecurities
Insecurities. We all have them. The reason I’m writing this today is because it has been a hot topic among my peers lately. Sometimes writing helps me makes sense of things, so perhaps typing this out will serve that purpose.
I believe that there is a tremendous difference in the way women and men handle personal insecurities. From what I’m gathering men tend to recognize insecurities, but…

Still Breathing
Hello all. If has been a very long time since I’ve been here, but I wanted to assure you that I’m still alive. My life has taken on so many changes, but I’m finally able to breathe.
In January, I unplugged from everything spiritual. I laid my dog of 12 years to rest, and I thought I would lose my mind. I took some time to shut off the spirits so that I could grieve. It was difficult coming…

Coming Out
I have added a new page to my blog. I am scheduled to do my first public psychic event this month. I have struggled with coming out to the general public about my abilities. People put you in some pretty awful categories when they know that you have abilities.
To help my local folks figure out what services I provide, I added the page to my blog. To give my blog audience an idea of what I do,…

Spirit Animals: Kangaroos (final series post)
Welcome to the concluding post for this series. I certainly hope you have enjoyed learning about the various animals that have come to my mind. I believe this series was inspired by something greater than me, so someone out there needed to understand the phenomenon of spirit animals. Since I published this blog, I’ve done some psychic readings and the animals have popped through. I have been…

Spirit Animals: The Swan
In college, I was the member of a sorority. The mascot for the organization was a swan. We’ve worked through just about all of the mascots from my education (Tiger: high school; Bear: undergrad; Buffalo: grad school), so I knew I had to include this legendary creature in this blog series.
If the swan comes to you, she is there to help you discover new ways of thinking. She is helping you to…

Spirit Animals: The Cardinal
The cardinal is the state bird of Ohio. So, I thought I would look into this beautiful little red bird to understand what he/she can bring to the spirit. References always provided 🙂
The arrival of the cardinal signals that you might need to be clearer regarding your intentions. As the new year comes crashing in, the cardinal tells you to start setting clear, meaningful goals for yourself. By…
