Grace MillerPublished 4 months ago in PsycheThe Silent Killer
In the vast spectrum of threats that loom over humanity, from bombs and guns to insidious illnesses, there exists a silent assassin that often goes unnoticed – stress. In my perspective, stress emerges as the most insidious killer, orchestrating its destructive symphony within the intricate machinery of the human body. Our bodies, marvels of complexity, surpass the engineering prowess of any man-made creation, with the brain reigning supreme as the orchestrator of this intricate symphony. It is this very brain that, when subjected to stress, releases cortisol, a stress hormone that, in healthy doses, serves a purpose but, when unleashed repeatedly, can lead to severe brain degeneration.

Are all personality disorders the outcomes of frustrated narcissism? During our formative years (6 months to 6 years old), we are all “narcissists”. Primary Narcissism is a useful and critically important defense mechanism. As the infant separates from his mother and becomes an individual, it is likely to experience great apprehension, fear, and pain. Narcissism shields the child from these negative emotions. By pretending to be omnipotent, the toddler fends off the profound feelings of isolation, unease, pending doom, and helplessness that are attendant on the individuation-separation phase of personal development.

The Suncatcher's Walk: A Tapestry of Belonging (homelessness, self-discovery,belonging,acceptance, search for meaning) Seven o'clock chimes, yet my home feels distant, a mirage shimmering beyond two weary hours. My legs, mapmakers of endless pavements, ache as if sculpted from clay. The dim yellow lamp on the side table mocks my weariness, its dying filament flickering a premonition of dusk. Dinner sits unmade, a forgotten melody amidst the symphony of exhaustion that hums within me.
Mouthing words
He spills the coffee on the table, towards the women's hands across from him. He panics. "I'm so, so sorry! The handle is so hot."
Unleashing the power of now
In the maze of my thoughts, overthinking used to be my worst adversary, stealing my calm and warping my clarity at every moment. The Thought Tornado would not stop whirling while I slept, entangling me in a noway - ending web of solicitude and pondering.

I dreamt of a war a month or so ago. Not any particular war, more so the archetype itself, so this won’t be a political post feeding further the extreme division and polarisation we are witnessing once again in the society. Due to me being a mental health advocate, I feel I need to say something on the subject purely from a trauma informed perspective.

A Flock of Questions
It always occurred when least expected. As the moon stalked me home on late car rides. When I sat under my favorite tree contemplating the cracks in the ground caused by the months of drought. While I bent down to tie my shoe.
Daniela AlejandraPublished 5 months ago in Psyche Breaking a Generational Curse
When I'm driving, my mind tends to wander. This can fall into the category of “a dangerous pastime,” as Lafou says, especially since I tend to reach into the past and try to figure out what the heck people's problems were with me. Obsessive? Perhaps, but I do try to improve myself, and I firmly believe in doing post mortems of relationships, no matter what kind. If I'm going to make mistakes, I want to make new ones, not repeat past screwups.
