I’v had a very difficult life beginning at a very early age with a lot of trauma involved.Anything bad that can happen to a young child happened to me. When it came to the question “have you ever had brain trauma?” I can only guess at that question because I’v managed to block most of my childhood memories out.I’ve also managed to block out other memories through the yrs. as well which makes me wonder if I HAVE had brain trauma. With the things I CAN remember it’s probably very possible so what do I do? I just started working the program and taking the brain and body supplements. I probably can’t get a scan so I’m kind of lost but desperately need the program and need to make the changes.

I too have had a lot of early childhood trauma. In my experience, it is not possible to change without the help of a well qualified therapist trained in EMDR and sensory motor psychotherapy. Trauma gets stored in our bodies and comes out in physical pain (injury, pain, illness) as well as emotional pain. I was able to go to one of the Amen Clinics about 10 months ago and together with my therapist they have helped me along the right path to be able to change my life. It is not easy. To not have the feelings of pain and hopelessness make it so worth it. Nothing could be harder than what you experienced as a child.

Thanks so much for reaching out. I agree with the reply above, that having the support of a therapist trained in trauma can be immensely helpful. If you are not near one of our clinics, where we have therapists on staff, look at www.goodtherapy.org to find one near you. Following the support here can be a great complement to psychotherapy, so I encourage you to continue here as well. We are very glad you are with us. Best to you- Zoe

I have had loss and trauma in both my childhood and throughout my adulthood. Ia m afraid to take chances, but there are moments I have a glimmer of hope. MY trauma has left me angry, afraid and anxious. I am trying to reverse negative thinking but it will take “some to-doing” to eradicate most of the high level anxiety I feel when I experience moments of PTSD. I was an educator for 15 years and now I’m on Disability and unable to handle the mental and social pressures being a Professor required of me. I am taking my meds, going to therapy and serving in a leadership position in my support group: DBSA (Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance). Almost every city has a chapter. It is not an easy job managing an organization full of people with mood disorders.

Indeed. The more self-care “roots” we have in our lives, the more anchored we feel to handle stress, moving variables, and the things we cannot control. Keep seeking out, every day, ways that you can feed these roots (nutrition, sleep, friendships, creativity, spirituality, relaxation, movement, etc.). The more we do that, the more resources we have within us when the pieces around us are challenging, or when past traumas and loss require our attention. – Coach Zoe
