Let It Go; What does that mean?

February 6, 2019 by Susan

Let it go! What does that mean? It seems to be a catch-all for unanswerable questions that come up in therapeutic settings. It’s also a cop-out people use casually when they don’t want to address the issue at hand. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been told, “just let it go!” Ok! Poof! Magic! 🔮

Just let it go!

I’m so sorry. It doesn’t work that way. When we heal from PTSS, the process to ‘just let it go’ is a serious matter and it is not easy. It takes diligent effort through whatever tools are available to the victim to be able to finally ‘let it go’.

Live in the Solution

Once we realize that there is a solution to something that has plagued us our entire life, we are often in such bad shape that we could not possibly do this alone without assistance from techniques, books, or professionals. So, we then step forward and decide to seek out the tools necessary to help us move forward in our journey.

Some of the tools to accomplish this task are regular meditation, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), toxins elimination from our diets, holistic health habits, and one of my favorites; we take care of ourselves first so that we can be of service to others who still suffer.

A Great Visual

I use an amazing visual that has helped me tremendously when I participate in EMDR therapy. When I watch the side-to-side motion, I visualize that there is a super high-speed train off to my side that is running from the front of me to the back of me and it is filled with the sore emotions of a past experience.

These experiences are rushed past me and go back, back, back into the past and eventually dissipate back into the energy of the universe to be swallowed up and re-energized as a warm, beautiful, light that heals all it touches.

Although I’ve spelled out my thoughts in detail for you, please note that this visualization takes place in nanoseconds as I experience the back and forth motions in front of me. And, this is my personal version of ‘let it go’. It is immensely effective for me so I sincerely hope it helps you as well. I don’t forget anything that happened to me. But after use of this technique, the intense pain and harsh emotions around the event are gone.

Change the Memories

“Changing the memories that form the way we see ourselves also changes the way we view others. Therefore, our relationships, job performance, what we are willing to do or are able to resist, all move in a positive direction.”
― Francine Shapiro, Getting Past Your Past: Take Control of Your Life with Self-Help Techniques from EMDR Therapy

So, at least for someone with PTSS, I believe I’ve explained a bit of what it means to ‘let it go’. It enables me to erase the pain and move forward with a lighter step in my day and just a little bit more sunshine and happiness. I sincerely hope this helps you learn to let go of the pain and misery of your past.

My Thoughts About Anti-depressants

November 22, 2018 by Susan

I am against the over-prescribing of anti-depressants – not anti-depressants as a category. Over the years, I’ve come to the conclusion that the anti-depressant issue is no different than the ‘Valium’ or the ‘Opiate Pain Killers’. It’s all about profit.

About Anti-depressants and Big Pharma

I can speak about this because I was on anti-depressants for over 12 years. I constantly built up resistance to them, then it was taper down – taper up – change prescriptions and be miserable when you do. I felt like I was on an emotional roller-coaster for much of the time. Can you even imagine what physical, emotional, and spiritual damage this type of ill-fitting prescribed medication can do to a person? Yet most docs don’t even bat an eyelash when writing out these prescriptions all the while telling us they “are not addictive”. That’s a huge lie.

The Diagnosis

But, I was not diagnosed correctly until age 62 with Post-traumatic Stress Syndrome. When I was treated correctly, I realized that my compulsions were subsiding and along with it, anxiety and depression.

I still have issues, but I deal with them differently when I strive each day for balance. I don’t need anti-depressants. I’m not convinced I ever did. I needed treatment for what was actually happening to me. I don’t think I’m the only one who has experienced this scenario.

Of course, some people do need them, but not to the extent they are currently being prescribed as a “cure-all.” When 1 in 4 women in this country is on mental health medications, I believe that smacks of mind or population control. That’s just not a pretty picture nor is it moral by any stretch of the imagination.

Why I Stopped

1. The thing most people don’t realize is that withdrawal from anti-depressants feels the same as withdrawal from heroin. It’s an ugly withdrawal, yet we’re told by our doctors that they’re not addictive. That’s a lie. Period. They tell you it has an “afterlife” and then vaguely explain what that means which was never really clear to me. However, I bought it hook, line, and sinker because I was in so much emotional pain.

2. When I became homeless after the recession hit and with no insurance, I could only afford one week’s worth of pills at a time and so was going through withdrawals every week until I could get my prescription filled. It was a horrible, roller coaster way to live when already living under such dire circumstances.

3. Fast forward a few years… Oregon Health Plan doesn’t allow mail-order prescriptions, so, during the heavy snow last winter, I was snowed in and couldn’t get to the store to get my prescriptions filled so I simply went through the withdrawals and stopped altogether. I don’t recommend this, for obvious reasons, but it’s what happened to me and it was both the end and a new beginning for me.

I Seek To Open Minds

It took me six months to feel half-way normal and now after over 1.5 years, I don’t feel the negative after effects and I’m over them. I have no intention of seeking out a new prescription.

I only seek to open minds. The severity of the implications of long-term use of anti-depressants must be discussed. I too resisted the information for a long time, but no more. I’m intent on exposing Big Pharma for the very dangerous entity that they are in this country.

In the past, we’ve allowed big pharma to successfully endanger multiple generations of humans on this planet with the use of Valium (highly addictive), then pushing anti-depressants (highly addictive), then they started pushing opiate-based pain medication (highly addictive).

Our rivers and streams are full of anti-depressants that get there through our sewer systems so that animals drink the water (humans drink the water out of our taps in our homes). The water transmits the anti-depressants to humans through animal meat as well as tap water. It is out of control.

I don’t claim to be a doctor. I am a survivor of decades of incorrect diagnosis by the medical community and their ‘recovery’ system that 97% of people who enter are not able to complete successfully.

It is my opinion, and I will not back down from it, that the pharmaceutical companies (who we ALL KNOW pay just as much for their votes in our government as the NRA, Insurance or the Banking industries) are the biggest criminals around. No, this is not irresponsible. This is my story. And, I will tell it.

Conclusion

It’s been my observation that too often people have revered doctors as demi-gods who have the final word when they are in fact humans who make mistakes. This is an inherent danger in prescribing medicine – you don’t know the limit of your Doctor’s knowledge. That’s why smart people get second or third opinions.

The final word should come from a patient who has made themselves informed of all the facts rather than the word of one person in their life. It’s each individual’s responsibility to sort through the information and come to their own conclusion.

People need facts and opinions to make up their own mind about how they want to proceed rather than blindly following doctors being wined and dined by pharmaceutical reps.

I made my decision after almost 15 years of trying to sort through it. It wasn’t made overnight. Ignorance is not bliss. But, it can destroy lives. That’s why I write.

Anxiety Ruled My Life

October 19, 2018 by Susan

Anxiety Was My Way of Life

To help relieve my anxiety, depression, and PTSS, I participated in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy about 2 years ago. Now, I look back and clearly see the anxiety I lived with on a daily basis throughout my life and therefore, how anxiety ruled my life. I remember early on, in my twenties, when I met new people for the first time, that I froze and didn’t know what to say or do. It was uncomfortable, but for all I knew, everyone experienced the same thing.

The Progression of Anxiety

Then, in my thirties, I started to notice that when I had to meet new people for the first time, I actually felt like I was weightless, and the ground underneath me was moving. It felt very similar to a small earthquake going off under my feet. Even though I moved forward, shook the hand and politely said what needed to be said, I was in a full blown anxiety attack.

People have teased me throughout my life for walking with my head down. I always thought that I walked with my head down because I was afraid of tripping when in reality, I didn’t want to look at anyone or anything. I missed a lot. Because of the trauma I experienced, I lived in fear of those around me physically hurting me or worse, emotionally hurting me. This was anxiety in action.

How I Compensate

Even now that I am acutely aware of these behaviors within me, I still get nervous when speaking to a new mechanic or a hairdresser over the phone for the first time. If I don’t give it enough forethought, I experience anxiety, stumble over my words and appear, in my mind, very foolish. So, my life is one of pre-thinking and planning to avoid these very uncomfortable feelings of ‘less-than’, ‘fear of reprisal’, ‘appearing stupid’, etc.

Is there a resolution to my story? Yes. Some days are very good days but I have to stay balanced in everything that I do. If I don’t, the wonderful thing for me now is that I can see my unbalance and patiently take steps to re-balance myself.

I’m not a doctor nor a therapist. I derive my thoughts and feelings from my own experience, what I read, and the world that evolves in front of me. For this reason, it is very important for me to know what other people think and feel. If you identify with my experience or if you have comments or questions contact me via Messenger or the Contact form – both on this site.

What I Do When Past Fears Overwhelm

October 16, 2018 by Susan

Past fears sometimes overwhelm me and ruin my entire day. The truth is, I never know when I will get struck by an old experience that throws me for a loop. It gets tiresome, to say the least.

However, the difference now is that those overwhelming feelings don’t last for long. That’s because I’ve gained tools and understand how to past get these types of onslaughts of past feelings in a matter of hours, sometimes minutes.

Help for Past Fears that Overwhelm Us

Do you know what to do when overwhelming past fears catch us off guard? I’d like to share these tips with you.

Drink Lots of Water

“Studies have shown that being just half a liter dehydrated can increase your cortisol levels,” says Amanda Carlson, RD, director of performance nutrition at Athletes’ Performance, a trainer of world-class athletes.

That’s a powerful quote. “Just half a liter dehydrated can increase your cortisol levels”. As a person who has been through anxiety attacks, I know how fast the mouth becomes parched like sandpaper when I experience high levels of anxiety. Naturally then, water is an antidote for some anxiety attacks and the first thing to reach for when the events occur.

“We will do more to avoid pain than we will to gain pleasure.”
– Tony Robbins

Eventually, I also came to realize that drinking water all day long decreased my mood swings and certainly helps prevent over-anxiety from happening in the first place. So, aside from the overwhelming body of evidence that supports the theory that staying properly hydrated helps reduce stress significantly, I personally have found this to be true in my life.

Are you beginning to see how very important plain, clean, fresh water is for our bodies? It is a basic necessity of being human!

Seek Out Negative Ions

The negative ions from a shower or a walk will improve your state of mind every time. Negative ions are normally abundant in mountains, waterfalls, and beaches, however, you will derive a good amount from your shower.

When the negative ions reach our bloodstream, they increase levels of serotonin which helps relieve depression and stress and also gives us a lift in our energy level. You will also receive a fair amount by simply taking a walk around the block.

Hug Your Cat

Those endorphins are priceless and it only takes a minute although you’ll probably feel so good you will do it much longer. It’s proven that physical contact releases the wonderful endorphins that lift our spirits when we feel down. The love of a cat or any pet is so unconditional and given so freely – take it and give in return for an amazing lift in your mood.

Stretch Your Stress Away

This is my favorite, feel-good exercise when those past fears come creeping along. Stretch, yawn and breath out to release all that stressful fear. Stretching is very cool from the get-go because there is no special clothing or equipment necessary to perform this simple technique. In addition, it makes our blood flow which naturally improves circulation and gives relief from tense muscles. Breath deeply into your stretches.

When you exhale, you release not only muscle tension, but also spiritual, mental, and harmful emotional stress too. I promise that after a great stretching session, you feel more relaxed, alert (or drowsy if it’s bedtime), and your day will go smoother.

One suggestion is to start with your feet and move slowly up your body, taking time to really stretch long and strong at each step of the way. If you’d like to do a more formalized stretching process, I’ve provided an infographic of yoga positions for more efficient stretches.

Use Sage Sticks or Essential Oils

I use this technique of relaxation several times during the day because it is a natural anti-bacterial and I have an indoor cat. While it is true that my use of sage began because I like the idea of an all-natural deodorizer, I soon discovered that while it burns, I get calmer.

I’ve long wondered about smudging with sage and began doing it regularly about 2 years ago. I simply walk around my room and wave the smoldering sage smoke and repeat “Thank you for your service” to all areas of each room.

This then becomes a moment of relaxation for me as well because of the effect of the sage on my own senses.

Healing Music Videos

On this site, you will find several posts that include healing music videos. I’ve also created a playlist on YouTube that I will share here with you. When I feel anxiety coming on and I sit down with my headphones and listen to this type of music, it gets me back on an even keel and helps keep me there when I listen regularly.

Please know that you don’t have to use headphones to derive benefits from this music, but it is of course, a more intense session if you do.

This is a playlist from YouTube of the healing music videos I curated. If you click in the top-right corner of the video below, you will get a drop-down menu of all the videos in the playlist.

Time for EMDR

It’s quick, easy, and it works. The really good news is that through the use of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), meditation, and my other daily practices of balance, flashes from the past don’t harm me as much as they used to and some don’t harm me at all anymore. EMDR stops past fears in its tracks for me.

Take a Zen Stress Support Formula Supplement

I buy these from Amazon and keep them on hand for help with sleep or just to relax in the evening. They do cause a bit of drowsiness, so use with caution. They are made all natural ingredients and I find that one in the evening helps me sleep all night with just a touch of a hangover when I wake in the morning.
It is my wish that this post provides you with good information I hope you have found ways to relax in a moment of stress. So, let’s stay diligent in our pursuits to be a better person that we were the day before. One way to do this is to keep our tool belt handy and keep it fully stocked with ideas like the ones in this post. That’s how we’re able to find what we need in a moment when we need it the most.

“A wall of fear might look like it’s 60 feet high and 60 feet wide but when we find the courage to walk through the wall, we discover that it’s paper thin.”

Moving Beyond Generational Trauma

September 24, 2018 by Susan

I was born into a family of generational trauma and the subsequent continual crisis that goes with it. I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t fear in my life from one traumatic incident after the other. And so went my life, from childhood until my diagnosis of PTSS, anxiety, and depression at the age of 62 when I was finally able to get the therapy I needed that jump-started me on the path to recovery from trauma.

Moving Beyond Generational Trauma

Across the internet, I’ve found many references to this topic and some with different names such as inter-generational trauma, and trans-generational trauma.

Transgenerational trauma is trauma that is transferred from the first generation of trauma survivors to the second and further generations of offspring of the survivors via complex post-traumatic stress disorder mechanisms. VIA Transgenerational trauma – Wikipedia

How Does it Get Passed Down?

Myron Eshowsky, Shamanic Healer and Author states that,

Trauma has been shown to create changes in genetic expression that could be passed on to the next generations.

Psychologically, there are 4 primary mechanisms of multigenerational trauma transmission. These are:

Silence—the conspiracy of silence (society and individual) helps maintain and exacerbate the effects of trauma. It might be an empathetic response to not stir up the issues, or a parent may react with anxiety, extreme rage, or flashback.
Over disclosure by adults to children of their past traumas—bearing witness to traumatic experiences can challenge even the most firmly held beliefs that the world is a safe place.
Identification—children tend to feel responsible for parental distress and if only good enough, parents would not be so angry or sad. Children themselves may experience a type of survivor guilt.
Reenactment—trauma survivors tend to reenact their traumas. For example, a Vietnam vet had joined the military with the belief it was the right war to be fighting. While there the leadership disillusioned him and he left the military embittered by his experience. He was out with his three-year-old son and was encouraging him to go down a playground slide. The boy didn’t want to, as he was afraid, and he told his son not to worry, he would catch him. The boy went down and the father did not catch him. The boy landed hard on the ground. When asked why he had done this, the veteran said, “I wanted him to learn you can’t count on anybody.”

My Family Culture

My family, both paternal and maternal are from a pioneering past and an indigenous past. These are two cultures that experienced extreme trauma that must not be taken lightly. The old adage, “it’s in the past so forget about it”, and “these things take care of themselves with time”, are not true and it is a dangerous way to live because it ignores the trauma and the mental health.

After so many generations of culture clash, dangerous circumstances, low self esteem, alcoholism, drug addiction, violence in the home, and the resulting distrust between family members, we must come to the conclusion that these things will not take care of themselves with time and they most certainly are not going away simply because they happened in the past! Quite conversely, trauma sticks for life and for generations beyond until it is acknowledged and dealt with.

Once we learn how and why this is passed down from generation to generation, we must individually do our part to acknowledge that it exists, then do whatever we can to work the trauma out of our lives to be able to help others do the same. We lead by example and hope our loved ones will follow suit. But don’t hold your breath. It is entirely possible that the only ‘followers’ we will find are not family-related but are instead, kindred spirits as together we will light the way.

We are Changing Every Second of Every Day!

The scientific field of study, Epigenetics, gives us new hope for the treatment of generational trauma. I can’t count how many times I hear, “he’ll never change – no one ever changes.” When, the new truth is, our DNA is changing constantly. We are born with inherited DNA and then our DNA continually shifts and changes with our environment and our daily decisions.

Have you heard the phrase, “people, places, and things”? It’s one of those cliquey little phrases that annoy newcomers to the 12-step program. Now that we know our DNA is continually shaped by the people, places, and things with which we surround ourselves, that phrase takes on a new depth of definition.

Virtually, if we surround ourselves with low energy, we will soon begin to take on the attributes of the low energy around us.

Pass On The Healing

With diligence, by virtue of our own personal healing, we can pass this healing on to those around us. I pass it on with my writing. It is a non-invasive way to present my personal experience to those who are on a path of discovery about their own generational trauma.

“Trans-generational transmissions take on life in our in dreams, in acting out, in “life lessons” given in turns of phrase and taught us by our family. Discovering transmission means coming to know and tell a larger narrative, one from the preceding generation. It requires close listening to the stories of our parents and grandparents, with special attention to the social and historical milieu in which they lived — especially its military, economic and political turmoil.” — How Trauma Is Carried Across Generations, Molly S. Castelloe Ph.D., Psychology Today

To Thine Own Self Be True

Today, I surround myself with people who love and nurture me and I offer them the same support. I hang out with people who are aware of the trauma of my past but don’t judge me for it. When I cross paths with those who are harmful to me, I remove myself from the scenario.

Conclusion

This is my heartfelt recommendation to everyone suffering from generational trauma. Strive to be diligent about self-care and self-respect. Forgive but be cautious with vulnerability around those who do not deserve it. And, most of all, forgive yourself, love yourself, and move on.

Our Lives are Shaped by Perpetrators

September 19, 2018 by Susan

What about the perpetrators in our lives? Scientists state that the human brain cannot develop without the existence of another human brain. When this happens under abusive circumstances, the perpetrator heavily influences the victim’s future actions, beliefs, and how they feel about the world around them.

The Influence of Perpetrators in Our Lives

Image Source

Its ludicrous to expect any human to resist physical, mental, and emotional domination, then to emerge later unscathed. From my own experiences from childhood and subsequent multiple abusive relationships over the decades, I believe that there are differing degrees of harm done to the victims but there is always harm.

The Silent Act

For myself, I knew something felt seriously out of sync. But like most victims, I kept it buried deep inside and talked to no one about it. As I grew into adulthood, I knew I was too easily swayed into bad situations, but I didn’t know how to stop it. I knew that I didn’t want to treat others the way I had been treated and most of the time, became so wishy-washy and clingy in an attempt “make everyone around me feel good” that people couldn’t stand me. Then other times, I acted out, just like my perpetrators, uncontrollably.

How I Coped

Through sheer force of self-will and pouring out of love to those closest to me, I was able to stop the most destructive behaviors for long periods of time. But during those periods of time, my inner-self found other ways to keep people away by my over-eating, isolating and other compulsive behaviors that appear on the surface to be normal to most observers.

Image Source

Never-the-less, I continued to live in mortal fear of my own shadow and everyone around me. I simply learned to hide it. I didn’t know what else to do.

Prisoner of War

A therapist once told me that when I left that home at the age of 17, I left a prisoner of war camp. When I told him his statement was ridiculous, he listed what I went through each day of my life as a child. On a daily basis, I was hit, yelled at, shaken, beaten with objects, and nothing I did was right. It-was-always-wrong. When I look at my life from that perspective things become clearer. This realization was the start of my recovery from a lifetime of abuse. Still, it was an uphill battle for many years.

Forced Deportation Trauma

January 13, 2018 by Susan

Deportation is a breeding ground for Post-traumatic Stress Syndrome on many levels. Deportation of immigrants is a horrible business. It’s cruel and unjust in every way but it’s legal because of the current written laws. While it may be legal, I believe it is morally incorrect. I want no more forced deportation of American citizens or what I refer to as ‘Citizens-in-Waiting.’

Forced Deportation Causes Trauma

Desperate for a Better Lifestyle

When people come into this country illegally, they don’t do it because they want to get away with something illegal. That’s absurd. They do it because they are under extreme duress in their current living situation. They are desperately searching for a better lifestyle for their families.

“Immigration related trauma has many faces. Complex cultural, political and social issues arise when people choose or are forced to leave their country of origin. Particularly vulnerable and often overlooked, are the citizen children of illegal immigrants. These children are pejoratively referred to as anchor babies, and their circumstances are complicated.

Parents immigrate to North America, oftentimes seeking refuge from persecution, poverty and corruption. After working and living in what can sometimes be years, families grow and children are born. In today’s volatile political economy, problems with the immigration system can occur and these parents are often denied the ability to remain permanent residents; they are forced to leave.

Their children, U.S. or Canadian citizens by birth, are subsequently denied their birthright and, because of the deportation of their parents, are robbed of the benefits that other citizens receive.” VIA The Traumatic Effects of Forced Deportations on Families

How Can This Happen?

I grew up with the belief that this country stood for the pursuit of happiness for all – it doesn’t say “only for rich people” anywhere in the constitution but that’s what this country has become. Something I’ve observed many times is that rich people often don’t see poor people as humans. They don’t think that poor people have the same needs, emotions, or intelligence as the rich.

As a middle-class woman who found herself in a homeless situation a few years back, I got to experience first hand this behavior towards poor citizens. It’s a real thing. It seriously opened my eyes about many levels of overt emotionally abusive treatment by the public towards poor people.

The mainstream public don’t want to look at them. They want them to “just go somewhere else.” Yet, there is nowhere else for them to go. These are, in my opinion, the behaviors of an autocratic, narcissistic society that has run riot in this country for far too long.

And, this sick behavior is illuminated with the current deportation activities taking place in this country. I think every ‘legal’ American citizen should bow their heads in shame at what they’ve allowed to happen. Again. No more forced deportation of American citizens!

Mother Earth does not need humans to survive

October 18, 2017 by Susan

Mother Earth is Kind to Us

Mother Earth is patiently waiting for us to stop destroying each other and in the process, the home on which we live. We, in the United States, are not the only country that has widespread disparagement of seemingly opposing religions.

The travesty of violence against the country’s long-persecuted Rohingya Muslims by the Buddhists of Myanmar is an example in a long list that stretches across millenniums.

Take Action

If religious, political, and business leaders of the world don’t stop the use of common people as political agendas to promote their personal wealth, the earth will surely be destroyed.

If the common people don’t get smart and take individual and group action, then we dance the dance with the politicians, religious leaders and big business in the destruction of mother earth.

Mother Earth does not need humans to survive. She will live on without us. The religions of the world must begin to focus on their commonalities rather than their differences. Otherwise, human beings are history. And, those who do nothing to stop this destructive behavior are guilty as those who directly contribute to it.

The Great Spirits Weep

Those who think Jesus or Muhammad or Buddha or whoever is going to save us from this fate are wrong. Rather the Great Spirits weep at the extremely poor choices we, as the human species, continue to make. We must accept responsibility for the thousands of years of wars and the more recent rapid destruction of Mother Earth.

Remember, we are all in this world together. NOT ‘fight and kill’ the way. NOT ‘pollute and waste’ the way. Together we light the way. 🔥
