As a lover of arts and the the truth I enjoy writing. It allows me to express myself while sharing life lessons, precious moments and even the unspeakable moments through my poetry.
Split - A - Part
Stitched you up, tried to heal your broken heart All the while you said I was your split-apart You speak words, forget,But have some tea

Wicked Thoughts
Is it bad to think wicked thoughts? Does it make us evil? Am I bad for the thoughts and fantasies I have? Am I bad or destined to go to hell because I liked or enjoyed having a disturbing thought about someone experiencing great pains and suffering? Are these dark impulses ‘NORMAL”? Or am I meant to be a sociopath or a hermit and die alone because I am a freak?

Counter-transference
In this paper I will discuss my reflections about countertransference regarding the novel, Sparta by Roxana Robinson. Conrad experiences with post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms and severe anxiety reminded me of friends and family members that have served in the military. A few people that I know have expressed to me their thoughts and feelings of being torn between civilian life and the life of a soldier. I have seen their pain. And to read about another person’s experiences, reminded me of those long nights of comforting my friends and family members. I have seen people that I care about try to hide or deny what they are experiencing, and eventually, they explode and have come close to hurting someone that they love. Reading Conrad’s story took me back to those moments in my life. This book helped me to gain a better understanding of my experiences with second hand trauma and my view of the military world.

Reflection on Skills Developed & Training
Abstract In the following pages, I will describe and reflect on three different developmental online trainings. The first training I will discuss is Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in Veterans and Military Personnel. The second training I will discuss is Provider Resiliency. And the final training is Epidemiology of PTSD in Military Personnel & Veterans. These trainings were made available by the Center for Deployment Psychology. I found them to be most insightful and resourceful.

Thoughts from a random day
A reflection....a daily reminder... Everyday I learn and grow. To let go of insecurities. To trust the unknown. To just breathe and to be me
