You don’t have trust issues—you have proof. When trust has been broken repeatedly, your nervous system learns to stay guarded. This isn’t paranoia—it’s protection. In this post, we explore why trust issues aren’t a flaw but a survival skill, and how you can rebuild trust in safe environments with the right people. #trustissues #traumahealing #nervoussystemregulation #trauma

At age 14, Flo's daughter was convicted of murder. An open-and-shut case in one sense - but in the aftermath, nothing was clear.

Now, years later, a grown Teddy is about to show up, and Flo must figure out how to deal with her.

THE BLUE DOOR: a profound novel of trauma, family relationships, and the craziness in all of us.

I'm wrestling with some self-acceptance stuff. It's hard to reconcile when you have had a certain idea about yourself for the longest time and then get confronted with data that clearly shows that what you thought about yourself isn't true. In fact it's quite painful.

I don't intend to live in denial anymore but I don't quite know how to get from where I am right now to acceptance. It's not like there is a DIY guide I can look up and follow.

When all your mind has known is focusing on survival in its myriad forms then it's really hard to choose a path that promises genuine joy but also contains many unknowns and obstacles. Many *risks*.

The fear of failure and the unknown is real. Growing into enduring it is frickin hard. Sometimes it feels impossible. But what's the alternative? Surviving ad infinitum? That can't be it.

But for fuck's sake. Why is this so fucking hard?

Got up early to draw hot bath for Mom.
I'm having morning tea & going to start watching the #documentary film, Where the Oilve Tree Weeps, now.

You can donate to view it. There is also a free option for folks who are financially strapped.

[ Where Olive Trees Weep offers a searing window into the struggles and resilience of the #Palestinian people under #Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice.

We follow, among others, Palestinian #journalist and #therapist Ashira Darwish, grassroots #activist Ahed Tamimi, and Israeli journalist Amira Hass. We also witness Dr. Gabor Maté offer #TraumaHealing work to a group of women who were tortured in Israeli prisons.

Ancient landscapes bear deep scars, having witnessed the brutal reality of ancestral land confiscation, expulsions, imprisonment, home demolitions, water deprivation, and denial of basic human rights. Yet, through the veil of oppression, we catch a glimpse of resilience—deep roots that have carried the Palestinian people through decades of darkness and shattered lives.

This emotional journey bares the humanity of the oppressed while grappling with the question: what makes the oppressor so ruthlessly blind to its own cruelty? ]

I'm fully booked the coming week, which means I cannot offer free consultations outside of what was already made available in my calendar. More people than usual seek help and advice after the elections. Surprisingly also Europeans.

Just what I needed after crying on and off the last few days: a deep, radical, and consoling talk by Sarah Jaffe, Eman Abdelhadi, @MsKellyMHayes , and Lydia Pelot-Hobbs, because of Jaffe's latest book 'From the Ashes: Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire' at Socialism 2024.

I live in Ontario, Canada. The alleged mental healthcare which we are subjected to is focused on the well-being of abusive people, shielding them from the consequences of their actions & behaviors. Survivors of the various forms of abuse which are normalized here have to figure out for ourselves the best path to our recovery and healing.

I would like to share a thread of mental healthcare resources that I have relied upon in the hopes that it is of benefit.

As I continue my path of personal development and healing, I often reflect on the idea that our thoughts alone can shape reality, a concept many describe as the ability to manifest desires, or in Christian terms, reaping what you sow.

In my view, this is an overly simplistic and unattainable notion. If we could think our way out of anxiety, suppress intrusive thoughts, or reframe every difficult experience, then living without stress or emotional pain would be easy. But the reality is far more complex.

From a neuroscience standpoint, while thoughts do play a role in shaping our lives, it’s through habit formation and cultivating a growth mindset that real change happens—not by appealing to the universe or expecting desires to materialise. The brain is designed to prioritise survival, constantly scanning for potential threats as it did in our evolutionary past. This makes negative thinking and anxiety natural responses to stressors. Healing comes through convincing our nervous system of safety, a process that involves much more than just positive thinking. Trauma, for instance, is stored not only in our memories but in the very cells of our bodies, and it requires intentional practices to retrain our systems over time.

So what is a growth mindset? It’s the belief that our abilities and intelligence can be developed through effort, learning, and persistence. It isn't about blindly thinking positive thoughts or ignoring hardship, but embracing challenges, seeing failures as opportunities for growth, and staying resilient through difficulties. A growth mindset encourages us to take active steps to improve, instead of passively waiting for change. It’s this process, not the act of thinking positively, that shapes our lives.

As for releasing stored trauma, there are practical, evidence-based methods to help the body and mind recover. Mindful breathing techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, and grounding exercises can help calm the nervous system and release tension. Psychotherapy, particularly somatic therapies, is another way to work through trauma by addressing the psychological and physiological aspects. Regular exercise, creative expression, and maintaining strong social connections play a key role in the healing process.

Living a fufilling life involves forming healthy habits, living in the present, maintaining good sleep and nutrition, and fostering resilience. While we all need basic material stability—food, shelter, meaningful connections—wealth doesn’t equate to happiness. I’ve never had a surplus of money or possessions, and yet I find contentment in having enough to meet my needs. Living comfortably doesn’t require vast amounts of wealth, just enough to feel secure and at peace.

This is my office space where I help people with stress- and trauma management, as well as self-regulation.

I'm at the easil. Thinking about the pain that kept me from sitting here this year. If I open myself again will my life fall apart? Will I drown in grief? I know I need to push through. I need a drink. Or tough love. I'm alive. Is that enough? Is it enough just to exist? In front of this blank page? #art #TraumaHealing
