Trauma Happens.... It can come in a variety of ways
Here in Northern California, most especially Butte Co. and surrounding areas, we started our year off under the fear and distress of a possible Dam Spillway Failure. It's easy to say t...
Thank you so much for this encouraging and interesting post, Dianna! I thought it was sad that only 30+% of people could score zero on their ACE score. Like apparently most people, I was not at zero either (more like probably 3), but have high resilience
Thank you so much for this encouraging and interesting post, Dianna! I thought it was sad that only 30+% of people could score zero on their ACE score. Like apparently most people, I was not at zero either (more like probably 3), but have high resilience and yes, knowing how much God treasures each of us is a critical factor in that!
Yes the statisics are staggering! We seem to be a world living in chaos with our eyes focused on all the wrong things... it's so easy to see reality and feel disheartened, to become traumatized by life's bumps and turns, yet God calls us to look past our
Yes the statisics are staggering! We seem to be a world living in chaos with our eyes focused on all the wrong things... it's so easy to see reality and feel disheartened, to become traumatized by life's bumps and turns, yet God calls us to look past our reality and see his beauty and blessings. His blessings truly are all around for us to see... On the days I can look past my inner chaos to see all the beauty in his creations alone, well, those are the days I am most at peace. I am blessed to have my camera on days when I need help to focus on a healthier mind-set. My ACE score is like a 5+... but knowing who I am in God, has made such a difference in my healing and growth. Thanks for your feedback Sylvia God bless
Very good Dianna...So much truth here in subject. Facing and dealing with a biggy in my trauma I found a whole lot in help from Jesus. Many worked with me. Close friends in a church I attended during this heavy journey were with me. Certain things
Very good Dianna...So much truth here in subject. Facing and dealing with a biggy in my trauma I found a whole lot in help from Jesus. Many worked with me. Close friends in a church I attended during this heavy journey were with me. Certain things developed like a phone call to tell me of a special group that deals with things I needed tucked away secretly where other survivors were working with helps of all kinds with a special lady who lead the group. My husband later joined with members husband's to understand the problem and how to understand what we ladies had gone through and what help they could be. We even met later in the church of the meetings for pot luck dinners. Surrounded by God and others. Later in some years again another place I drove to in VA had a special place and plan for individualized Counseling therapy & included voice people who went through same things I could call and talk over how I was feeling in this process. It dug things up that were put on back burner in my memories I didn't remember. The pain of events goes hidden for our own protection because as a child we can't handle it all. God it was said made this needed place in us to split off into. A large trauma can make alters for protection. Each hidden place alter is dealt with to eventually bring wholeness. When all finished at this helpful place in VA he said Spiritually I was complete and in the physical Spence but will deal emotionally at times. That is saying triggers can happen and knowing by realizing how I am at a given moment I go through steps to work thru the feelings that came with the trigger. They happen far apart now over years but can happen. A very big picture of God is so present do to His presence was very real. Words from a song long ago by a local artist say... Lord you know me and You understand and You just how really weak I am .sooo keep me keep me keep me..... Blessings to all you do in helping others in the many ways you do such as books for children written with all heart!!
