Well, to do that successfully you need to heal. Otherwise itโ€™s a continuation of the โ€œpretend meโ€ and not the authentic name. Trauma therapy is the answer.

Todayโ€™s a good day for reflecting on the gifts in my life. First,healing from trauma including religious trauma. Secondly, having a comfortable life after so many years of scrimping and saving. And thirdly, my boy, Jasper. Who fills me with joy.

Even in retirement I have to remind myself to slow down and just spend time reading my great psychology thriller!!

Many individuals who came to me with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, sleeplessness, difficulty making decisions, worried about being judged, and anger really had complex trauma.

Do you know the symptoms of complex trauma?

Some claim their brand of Christianity gives them strength and meaning. But for others, organized religions bring fear and anxiety. There are other ways to find meaning. There are other to have a relationship with the Divine. Donโ€™t be afraid to search.

I agree.

Because they may have their own unprocessed trauma. Because they may be overwhelmed. Because many are raising kids and working. Iโ€™m not saying thatโ€™s a blanket to excuse bad parenting. But itโ€™s so much more layered than society would have you believe. Are their bad mothers? Yes but not all.

Thatโ€™s what Iโ€™ve heard from countless Moms who came to me for therapy. And they, too, were doing the best they could.

Youโ€™d have to ask him. I doubt heโ€™ll tell the truth.

Iโ€™ve seen so many moms overwhelmed not just with the task of raising kids but of society judging them. I feel for them.

Iโ€™m so sorry. But at some point the person has to decide to do something other than blaming the person who hurt them.

He can get therapy. And realize it wasnโ€™t about him, it was about you struggling.

Parents bear a huge burden of responsibility for raising their kids, especially the moms. Be kind to them. Itโ€™s not easy. Mistakes will be made even with the best intentions. Be kind to them.

Our Department of Education, which is helmed by a woman connected to a scandal involving child abuse, who was appointed by a man connected to a scandal involving child abuse, is now refusing to recognize the professions of our countryโ€™s mandated reporters ofโ€ฆ child abuse.
