Blogroll Updates

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I finally found the time, and the correct bit of code “magic” to get the new Blogroll tool setup and running properly. Now I can get around to finally making updates to the lists!!

I went through tonight and removed a number of blogs that had either gone away, or not been updated in quite some time, and added a couple of new links that I remembered off the top of my head. I still need to go back through my emails and comments from people I’ve talked to about adding, or just wanted to add as a thank you for commenting here. I’m sure I’ll still manage to miss a couple, so if you don’t see your blog, let me know.

Also, if you have any suggestions for bloggers who are survivors f cancer, depression, or some disability, leave a comment so I can add them in the appropriate list as well!

Thanks!

    Well, if nothing else, this past week proved that yes, there is still definitely a limit to the amount of emotional energy I can muster up, and when I hit that limit, while I’m healthy enough to know how t not dissociate anymore, I still want to do some of the same behaviors. This week…

  • The One Constant

    I wrote this in an email the other day and after reading it again in the reply something about it struck me. I didn’t mean for it to be a deep philosophical statement, but it sort of is. (I’m blaming the lack of caffeine). “The one constant in life is change” I realized in reading…

  • Lauren Book on Fight, Flight, or Freeze

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Somehow, even though this is from 2016, I hadn’t seen it until last night. It’s a TEDx talk by survivor, and advocate Lauren Book. (https://laurenskids.org)

    In it. she shares her own story, and some words about going from victim, to advocate and how we can all advocate for children, but the part that really caught my attention was the beginning, and no not just because she uses an air horn. It’s the description of our responses to trauma, and how they are just part of us, mostly outside of our control, especially as children. Lauren’s freeze response wasn’t just a one-time event either, it went on for years, and was tied to thinking that all of it was her own fault.

    If this sound familiar, that’s because it is really common. We just don’t talk about it. We don’t talk about sexual abuse at all, and if we do, this kind of response is usually met with some nasty comments about why we waited to say anything. Those comments simply communicate that the person saying them, knows nothing about the brain and trauma response.

    Don’t be that person. Watch and learn a thing or two.

  • Survivor – Know Thyself

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Recently, I came across this article about how common happiness boosters might actually make you feel worse, and as I read it I came to realize that really, even though some of these can be mood boosters, or stress relievers, for some people they simply aren’t. It’s obvious from the article that the author is…
