Trauma Survivors Collective

In this episode, I discuss how to build internal and external expectations, which are positive, and will assist in building self-esteem, self-worth, and perceptions of Self Worth, for Trauma Survivors.  This is a generalized discussion, that explains how to work between both Expectations we set for ourselves and others around us, to get positive results towards building healthier perceptions of ourselves. 

If you are interested in working with me, I offer Life Coaching services and invite you to a free 1-hour session.  You can secure the offer, by simply sending feedback or message, and contact information, so we can book a session to see how I can be of assistance to your needs.  Listeners can send messages to us, on their podcast player platform or emailing me directly at: [email protected]

In this episode, I discuss the perceptions of the words "Victimization," "Victim," and "Survivor."   I discuss the truths that each of us live our lives in, and how it may impact our ability to become empowered to take back control; that may have been perceived as "Taken" by others.  We discuss "Masculine and Feminine" energies, and roles they play in Trauma, and the identities of "Victim," and "Survivor."   

If you are interested in obtaining Life Coaching, to help with your journey in the recovery of Trauma, please feel free to message Gary Brents, and indicate your desire for a free 1-hour session, to explore how you may benefit from coaching, and therapy with Mental Health providers, both individually and Together.

In this episode, I discuss a Breakthrough and the journey of exploring how we process information, for our own life's story.  We discuss the mind's ability to process information (rates of input data being processed) and how it applied to my own recent "Breakthrough" with one of my many traumatic events and the impact it offered my Life's Story and internal dialog regarding that trauma.

I also reveal that I am now doing "Life Coaching" for Trauma Survivors, and working with emotions such as Depression, Anxiety, habits, and other areas, including Relationships with ourselves and others.   You can book a free session with me by emailing me at: [email protected]. I offer a free 1-hour session, if you are available and wanting to explore what Life Coaching with me may do to help you, your loved ones, and your "Life's Story."

In this episode, I discuss how our beliefs and thoughts are formed, during childhood, and guide us into the years of our seeking Independence as we grow older. It discusses the elements of Frustration and what it is comprised of, and how, thought being Mindful and in the moment, can be achieved and what it means to be Mindful.

In today's Episode, "Siver Bullet" we are discussing "Tools" we use, as Trauma Survivors, to meet challenges of our days.  We will discuss to some degree "Post Trauma Growth" and how I have found myself on several paths described by Kasley Killam, on December 15th, 2015, in an article titled "How To Find Meaning In Suffering."  We will discuss how some trauma survivors of sexual trauma, and Domestic Violence are minimized and often reporting is pushed to the rear, behind those same claims made by other, merely on Sex, Race, or other group identifiers.

I ask questions like, What Tools Do you Use, to work through symptoms of Traumatic events?

I encourage audience participation, by messaging me, on both questions I pose, and as to give feedback in their input on the episode.  We are planning on asking some of our listeners to participate and potentially become Guests on our show as well, to share insights, thier stories, and some of their means of dealing with Life's struggles after trauma. 

We do ask for those who are excited and interested in this podcast, to join our Patron Donors club; which is currently being built and will soon be implemented; as we are completely self funded, and resources could go a long way, in bringing professionals in the Mental Health Field, to visit us as Guest Speakers, as well as allow our listeners to become guests as well.
