Growing up in a dysfunctional, toxic family environment left deep, ingrained patterns of thinking and acting to avoid the uncomfortable, powerful emotions that boiled just beneath the surface, until my ability to stuff them down and sit on them didn’t work. It was at those times that the emotions would come out – and come […]
“PTSD isn’t about what’s wrong with you, it’s about what happened to you.” ― Author Unknown Much of our time is spent crossing items off of our “To Do” lists and attempting to juggle multiple demands and commitments. This fast paced lifestyle over time can wreck havoc on our nervous systems, literally leading the body toward […]
Growing up in a family that was “broken” by divorce for multiple generations, I experienced a great deal of stress as a young child navigating the after-effects of such an interpersonal event without any logical awareness that such an event would someday be viewed as trauma. Many people may view post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as […]

The goal is to find it.” ― Buddha We all experience challenges in our life that cause us pain, whether physical, emotional, mental, and/or spiritual.

“Forget conventionalisms; forget what the world thinks of you stepping out of your place; think your best thoughts, speak your best words, work your best works, looking to your own conscience for approval.” – Susan B. Anthony Since 1995, March has been designated as Women’s History Month in the United States and International Women’s Day […]
No, not more law enforcement efforts to reduce the production and transportation of illegal drugs. This question has a basic economic component – as long as the demand is greater than the supply, the war on drugs will be lost. So, how do we reduce the demand for drugs? We must learn why people turn […]
“If light is in your heart, you will find your way home.” ― Rumi I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of hearing the same old suggestions of eat healthier, exercise more, and stop smoking if I want to keep my heart strong. Not that these suggestions are bad ones, it’s just that when they […]
