trauma
At its core, trauma can be thought of as the psychological wounds that persist, even when the physical ones are long gone.
Watch Out Wednesdays - 2/4/26 (Opinion)
We are smack dab into the first week of February! I hope that everyone is preparing to watch Super Bowl LX (60) on Sunday between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. This game will definitely be decided in the fourth quarter.

Homework Assignment - Right, Wrong, or Grey-zone?
So my autism therapist gave me some homework for a new form (to me at least) of therapy. It is an Internal Family Systems parts mapping exercise and I have no idea if I am doing it correctly or not, but I just wanted to write about my experience... *smile*

A Headache, New Medication, and a Happy Outcome
As of Saturday, I had a headache. Again. Or maybe still? I had a new prescription that was finally approved that I was really hoping would help with my headache, but was a headache to be approved for in and of itself. The paperwork had been delayed by a week. The paperwork had been completed - and then rejected because one item wasn't "clearly" marked.

The phone rang at 3:11 a.m. Not a notification. Not an alarm. A real call. Omar stared at the screen through half-closed eyes. Unknown Number. He almost ignored it—almost—but something about the timing felt deliberate, like the call had waited for him to wake up before ringing.

Do We Ever Really Heal, or Just Learn to Hide It?
No one tells you this, but healing is rarely loud or dramatic. It does not arrive with a clear ending, a final conversation, or a moment where everything suddenly makes sense. Most days, it looks like waking up tired, pretending you are fine, and carrying memories you no longer talk about. Maybe that is not healing at all. Maybe it is just survival wearing a calmer face.

When Life Gets Too Much
"Each one of us has lived through some devastation, some loneliness, some weather superstorm or spiritual superstorm; when we look at each other, we must say, I understand. I understand how you feel because I have been there myself. We must support each other and empathize with each other because each of us is more alike than we are unalike."
