trauma
At its core, trauma can be thought of as the psychological wounds that persist, even when the physical ones are long gone.
Learned Helplessness Simplified
Learned helplessness is a psychological phenomenon in which a person experiences a sense of powerlessness and a belief that they are unable to control events affecting their life. This can occur after repeated exposure to aversive events which they perceive as uncontrollable, leading them to feel hopeless and passive in future situations. It results in a reduced effort to escape or avoid negative situations, and decreased motivation and ability to take control of their environment.

How To Overcome Childhood Abuse
Childhood abuse can have a profound and lasting impact on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. It can lead to a range of negative outcomes, such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and difficulty forming healthy relationships. The effects of childhood abuse can also manifest in physical ways, such as chronic pain, headaches, and sleep disorders. However, with the right support and resources, it is possible to overcome the effects of childhood abuse and lead a fulfilling and happy life.

Dear African media why do you show dead bodies in print & on websites?
I'm frankly disgusted, I had to say something. After living in 2 African countries, with several social media accounts opened with African SIM cards (phone numbers) the brutality is different.

Conquer PTSD: A Roadmap to Overcoming Trauma and Living a Fulfilled Life
Beware, for I speak of a soldier, named John, who had ventured into the abyss of war. He bore witness to unspeakable horrors that no mortal should ever have to endure. But when he returned home, the demons of his past followed him. They haunted his every step, whispering in his ear every night. He was consumed by the memories of what he had seen, unable to escape the terror that had taken root in his mind. He would often wake up screaming, covered in sweat, his heart pounding as if it would burst out of his chest. He avoided crowded places, for fear of being trapped, and he would lash out at anyone who got too close. But his fate, his ultimate descent into the abyss, remains shrouded in mystery. Some say he was consumed by his demons, others say he went mad, but all that is certain, is that he was never the same again. Beware, for the horrors of war can linger and claim even the strongest of minds.

10 Negative Side Effects Of a Spiritual Awakening Nobody Talks About
A spiritual awakening is a real phenomenon - you suddenly see through the veil of society and can't continue living your old life any longer. You realize that our present humanity is very far removed from what really matters: to love and let love.

A day in the Life.
A seemingly “normal” day can flip in an instant. A single touch, thought or action can change everything. A loss of control if only for a moment can unravel your entire day, consumed by a singular feeling: fear. Many people experience fear, but in some people, fear isn’t just a worry — it consumes every thought and action. Fear doesn’t discriminate: age, race, sexuality or religion, we will all fear “true” fear at some point in our lives. This is what living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is like.
