The Finding Peace Podcast

Attachment Angels

Sue Johnson identified the ways that we are able to move forward and face the world is through having secure attachments. For many of us, growing up, some of those secure attachments were broken or damaged in one way or another leading us to experience attachable such as loss, projection, abandonment, betrayal, neglect, or abuse. It is easy to remember all of the hard and difficult times lives, but healing often occurs when we shift our perspective. One of the tools of trauma recovery is identifying Attachment Angels from our past. Attachment Angels are individuals who have provided unconditional love and support to us, especially during times of trial or difficulty.
It can be an act of gratitude and appreciation to reflect upon who in your life has been an Attachment Angel. How have those individuals blessed your life?
In this episode of the finding peace podcast, I explore one of my attachment Angels and the blessing that she has been in my life. I would love to hear your comments about who has blessed you in your life and the difference these people have made for you and your future.

The Runner Waved at Me... and This Happened....

Have you ever pondered on the effect of the negative core beliefs written on your heart?  Usually, our negative messages begin to be written when we are young. Once written, we continue to seek "evidence" to support the belief, often to our own detriment. These negative messages fuel our perception and taint the way we interact with others.  They also provide the foundation for what our Shadows of Shame amplify. 
The good news is that negative core messages can be written and when they do, a whole new world opens up to us.  In this episode, Troy discusses one of the most permeating negative core messages he carried for most of his life and how his perception changes when the negative core message is rewritten.

Lightening the Load

Three of the boys on the backpacking trip had to go back the first day because their loads were too heavy. What happened next taught me a great lesson.

Dealing with Suicidal Ideation

Completed Suicides have increased by 30% since 1999.  Suicide is among the top 3 causes of death for teens. First Responders are more likely to die by suicide than in a line of duty. 
Pain and shame are two of the biggest drivers of suicide. Often the suicidal person is just wanting the pain to stop or they fear that things are never going to get better.  Shame conveys a sense of unworthiness and hopeless.  Especially if they have made a mistake, they believe that they are never going to get past the mistake.  
Warning signs include:
Talking about wanting to die
Searching for a way to kill themselves
Feeling hopeless
Feeling trapped or in unbearable pain
Talking about being a burden to others
Increasing use of alcohol or drugs
Acting anxious or agitated, or behaving recklessly
Changes in sleep patterns
Withdrawing or isolating
Showing rage or talking about seeking revenge
Having extreme mood swings
 
But there is hope.  There is a way out of the darkness.
