Life in a Haze
Today is just another one of those days Waking up late still in a haze I brushed my hair and put some makeup on Faking happy like this is quite a con Found that dress that reminds me of you The matching heels you love them too A Smile on my face as I walk out into the world A world so cold yet hot as hell without my little girl. I say I'm stronger I will get thru today Won't let the loss and pain take my joy away Walking with my head held high Cause she is the apple of my eye I sing our songs like we used to Cause I'm always thinking of you. My world my life will never be the same My struggle is real, it's not a game So I tell the world and I tell myself that I'll be alright But I always cry as I lay down at night The weakest days and the strongest days merge twist and blend Feels like this nightmare will never end It's only been about 6 months now Yet feels like yesterday when I was asking how How many more nights will we cry How many more lies will be lied how long will I have to wait til you're by my side how will you know I'll Love You til the day I die I can only hope that my prayer you'll hear And you'll seek me out on your 18th year Til then, today is just another one of those days When I wake up late still in a haze

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.
