One Time Trauma Equals The Perfect Storm

One Time Trauma Equals The Perfect Storm

            The sound of the word trauma can easily bring chills to your bones especially if you have been the victim of a traumatic event. If you experience a horrific situation only once, does that classify as trauma? It absolutely does! Some one time traumas can be a natural disaster such as hurricanes or other storms, a car accident, rape, or burglary.

                                                                

Within the mayhem of trauma you can turn the tragedy into a perfect picture of success. SAY WHAT??!! How can a storm equal anything but terror?

Cheers to the Perfect Storm

Here's how to survive a hurricane of trauma!

Category 1: Optimism

Instead of responding with a fight or flight reaction, stop and think. Think about the numerous blessings you continue to have after your frightful event. You are a survivor and should celebrate because you have made it through.

Category 2. Move forward:

It is easy to freeze up after an experience with trauma. If and when you stop living your life you have let fear take control of you. I know it's easier said than done but you GOT THIS!

Category 3. Advocate:

Take a stand against whatever your tragic situation may be. Shed light and understanding on your experience so that others can see your braveness and power. Empowering others results in your own empowerment.

Are you clinging to the stress or anxiety related to a one time traumatic event? Are you ready to recover your normality and power over your life? Let's talk about it!

3 Cs of Relationships

Rule #1- Effective communication

According to habitsforwellbeing.com, "the ability to communicate effectively is an essential skill in today's world" (www.habitsforwellbeing.com). Communication is not just what is being said during the conversation. It also involves listening to the needs of others.

Rule #2- The Art of Compromise

Compromising does not mean giving up what you want to satisfy the need of another. A good relationship involves give and take. Each person must give up something in return to receiving the opportunity to keep the thing they desire.

Rule #3- Cherish every aspect whether good or bad

Love for better or worst. Adore your loved one. Yes, there will be characteristics and behaviors that you  yourself would never think of having but embrace those differences. Show appreciation and cherish the flaws and the favorites.

If you do not want your relationship to be in ruins, you have to follow the rules. Connect with your friends, family, or flames with a modern touch of direction.

OCD: Overcome Compulsive Disorders

OCD: Overcome Compulsive Disorders

            Up. Down. Left. Right. Wait a minute. That’s not right. Down. Up. Right. Left. Okay, maybe that’s good. Oh, no! If you carry the traits of obsessive compulsive disorder, those inner thoughts of aiming for perfection may be familiar to you.

            Obsessive compulsive disorders affect approximately 2.3% of the population between ages 18- 54 (understanding_ocd.tripod.com). More people suffer from OCD than more commonly known mental health disorders such as panic attacks and bipolar disorder. So one will wonder, how does a seemingly uncommon challenge touch so many lives?

              

A common symptom of OCD is the perfect alignment of objectives.

           

CAUSE

            For many years, OCD was believed to be the result of learned behaviors from life experiences. This conclusion is an understandable premise due to common OCD behaviors that include cleanliness and compulsive repetition of beliefs, thoughts and actions. But with today’s advanced research, the cause of OCD stems more toward biological origins. Through the study of PET scans, OCD has been connected to other neurological disorders such as Tourette’s syndrome & body dysmorphic disorder aka obsession with cosmetic changes and appearances (understanding_ocd.tripod.com).

EFFECT

            Symptoms of OCD does not equal insanity. The behaviors and thoughts are unique and different but manageable. No need to think that an OCD lifestyle is beyond control or devastating.

            OCD traumatizes most who are new to the symptoms. The repetitive and obsessive behaviors and thoughts that are characterized as OCD sometimes lead to agitation, anxiety, panic attacks, fear and depression. Most individuals who have learned to live with OCD in some way have learned to manage their symptoms to live a “normal” lifestyle.

OVERCOME OCD

            Medication in combination with cognitive behavior therapy is the most effective method to management of obsessive compulsive behavior. This method should follow the diagnosis and recommendation of a professional healthcare personnel. Self- assessment and diagnosis of OCD or any other mental health challenge is not a sound option.

            OCD support groups are another beneficial element in the remedy to relieving symptoms. Support groups aid in providing solace and comfort. Knowing that others have the same experiences of unwanted repetitions provides more opportunity to control and management skills.

            The best way to overcome any life challenge is through changing the way you think about the challenge. Firstly, don’t think that your issue is a hindrance. Any challenge placed before you can strategically be moved to behind you.

            Secondly, be bold enough to seek the assistance you need. Due to stigma associated with mental health and addiction, guidance is rarely sought. The last thing that needs to be focused on is how your issue adds up to someone else’s. No one has the same challenges or lifestyle. Do what is best for you to defeat your challenge.
