recommended show |
SPECIAL TOPIC night -- "Recovering From The Effects of Childhood Abuse, Neglect, and Trauma." (Part 2 of 4). Tonight we will finish Mindfulness Skills and begin Distress Tolerance Skills/Strategies. The emphasis is to learn to bear pain skillfully since avoiding pain tends to increase it and can lead to impulsive acts that can make the situation worse. The strategies we will discuss are Distracting, Self-Soothing, Improving the Moment, and thinking of Pros and Cons of tolerating vs not tolerating painful, distressing emotions. Mindfulness skills are recommended by the VA for reducing symptoms of PTSD, and both sets of skills can reduce dissociation, anxiety, panic, depression, suicidal ideation, and other methods of self harm. When we learn these skills, and can be present and aware in our lives, we can move on to skills to regulate emotions, and interpersonal skills to improve our relationships including family, friends, and work which can improve our quality of life, enjoyment, and happiness. ~~ Article 1: Mindfulness Lessons - Article 2: Distress Tolerance Lessons ~~ This series of special topic shows will give us an opportunity to share information and experience with each other as we continue on our healing journey. The moderator will be Jacque LaFountaine RN, retired, who has been actively recovering from childhood abuse and trauma for 25 years. "When I started therapy, I learned that childhood abuse and trauma was affecting every area of my life, but there was very little information on what issues needed to be addressed or how to address them."

SPECIAL TOPIC night -- "DBT Self-Help Skills (Dialectical Behavior Therapy; this is NOT therapy"
(part 1 of 4) Tonight's show will be a Discussion/ Workshop on Mindfulness Skills where we will discuss and add our own experience with the topic to learn to be present, aware of ourselves, and aware of our actions. In following weeks, we will discuss Distress Tolerance Skills ( being present while experiencing distressing emotions), Emotion Regulation Skills, and Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills. The goal is to learn skills, or add and share our skills, to manage anxiety, panic, depression, self-harm thoughts, and reduce dissociation (avoidance), and increase our effectiveness when interacting with people. I invite everyone to come and share so we all learn more together.

SPECIAL TOPIC night -- Tonight's show will be a Discussion / Workshop on Disclosing Abuse, Why Do I Feel Worse??? Why Can't I Function??? Why Is My Life Falling Apart??? We will talk about what was going on in our lives that led to disclosing our abuse, the impact that had on us, and what we started to learn and do as a result. We'll be using the material in the article "Older People Surviving Child Sexual Abuse," an essay by 'Louise' who starts out with the note: "While it's true that some older survivors of child sexual abuse can have experiences that trigger a powerful resurgence of past trauma, this article is not meant to state that this will be the case for all. Rather, I hope it will be a comfort and offer support to older survivors who are experiencing a hard time with their pasts. You are not alone, and it is not hopeless."

SPECIAL TOPIC night -- Tonight's show will be a Discussion / Workshop on Emotional Abuse and Neglect, which is at the core of most major forms of abuse and neglect. It interferes with our abilities to build a strong sense of self/identity, disrupts our learning to emotionally regulate and soothe ourselves, creates a sense of mistrust in others, and interferes with our ability to perceive ourselves, our world, and others in a positive way. We will discuss what we can begin to do to recover from this persistent and systematic form of abuse and neglect. .. Article 1: The Invisible Wounds of Childhood Emotional Abuse--Scriggler ..

SPECIAL TOPIC night -- Tonight's show will be a Discussion/Workshop on building emotional and physical RESILIENCE, Part 2. Resilience, simply put, means "bouncing back" from difficult experiences and includes the ability to adapt in the face of trauma, adversity, and stress. Disclosing and beginning to address our abuse can also be traumatizing, and require physical and emotional energy to cope. Building our resilience is something we can actively do to provide ourselves with the energy we will need. At the same time, building resilience will begin to repair our bodies and minds from the damage we have suffered as a result of our abuse.
