Teri Anderson was discussing the evolving meanings of certain words and expressions, notably emphasizing the overuse and potentially diminishing impact of terms like "trigger" and "safe spaces." Teri also introduced the concept of "glimmers," contrasting them with triggers as moments that bring joy, peace, or gratitude. This idea seems to be about focusing on positive moments or memories in one's life, offering a counterbalance to negative or triggering experiences. She shared personal stories about triggers, reliving traumatic events, and the significance of addressing triggering language thoughtfully, especially concerning those actually dealing with trauma versus those just experiencing discomfort. Additionally, Teri encouraged self-love and kindness and mentioned plans for future discussions on handling memories and their impact.

What IS the difference between true self care and numbing or running?  I speak of the difference for me, in my life, as I am beginning the journey of true self care and self development.  Having never being celebrated for me, as a child or as an adult, I've decided to celebrate myself and learn the ins and outs of true self care.  I'll be in a country far away doing who knows what when this airs. Self care is learned, it's nurtured, it's intentional. It's not escapism, in my opinion, it's celebrating yourself during the times you need it most and in the times of maintenance. It's being self aware, and, I feel, is the beginning of true self love.  60 something it's my time travel self care behavioral health ptsd internal family systems trauma awareness teri anderson digging through dominoes

It's not broken. It's the system we built." - Jeff Woodward. Join me in welcoming my first guest on this podcast, Jeff Woodward. Jeff is the program manager and Outreach & Navigation Program Manager at  Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon.  Jeff Woodward was very candid with me about what led him from the corporate world to the world of homelessness, the suicide of his wife in 2009. Our discussion takes us through the emotional state people can find themselves in after a tragedy, to life on the streets, our perceived perception of mismanagement in Oregon that has led to the homeless crisis, the current state of Portland, Oregon. Jeff also speaks of Apple in downtown Portland hiring a peer specialist to help with the homeless situation near the Downtown Portland Apple Store. We continue on speaking of our sons' mental illnesses, Wapato, now known as Bybee Lakes, non profits in Oregon, greed, dirty money, passions, and then throw in a bit about Harley Davidsons and we have an episode that is gripping, tragic, hopeful and is filled with twists and turns. I offer my thoughts on TPI, also known as Transition Projects that, I feel, gave me false hope concerning my son that led up to his untimely death.

Today, for some reason, I actually had another another topic to discuss, but I really felt strongly that I needed to do an episode on taking accountability for my actions. It's no longer scary to me today. It used to be really scary to take accountability, but I think it's just another step in growth. And I know many of you may be thinking, Oh gosh, I don't want to admit everything I've done. Well, you know, it's part of who you are now. It's part of who I am now. Everything this happened to me, everything I allowed to happen, everything I did, I have chosen to work for the best and to benefit me so I can grow. I don't want to stay stuck like where I was. I don't want to stay is broken as I was when I first broke.

WOW! I didn't expect this one but it came at the right time and correlated nicely with Chapter 7 of The Emotionally Absent Mother by Jasmin Lee Cori on neglect and abuse. Listen to what happened when a family member opened up her can of abuse with me. The video version on the YouTube version of Digging Through Dominoes should be up tomorrow with her scathing, self centered, remarks, that I took screen shots of, inserted. We don't want any miscommunication, as I've noticed as common in my mother's family. I'm grateful though. Her attitude showed me the complexity of the environment my mother had grown up in. This video does not diagnose anyone with any disorder, only points out similarities with Jasmin Lee Cori's book, The Emotionally Absent Mother. It made me see the situation my Mother grew up in differently and how she, and her sisters, in my opinion, were scarred. Healthy people just don't do this. affiliate links: COMPLEX PTSD From Surviving To Thriving by Pete Walker https://amzn.to/3RCx7rN The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk: https://amzn.to/3TLagfv Overcoming Toxic Parenting by Rick Johnson: https://amzn.to/3wXlBPO Healing Your Emotional Self by Beverly Engel: https://amzn.to/3epY0RD  The Emotionally Absent Mother https://amzn.to/3KNfUtu DD Social media links Digging Through Dominoes website (audio): https://diggingthroughdominoes.podbean.com/  Apple Podcast: ttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/digging-through-dominoes/id1619200152?i=1000557547966  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/69onD9bgg30EYvixz8DJFz?si=086dc9095e664d3b  iHeart https://www.iheart.com/podcast/338-digging-through-dominoes-95565843/  Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL2RpZ2dpbmd0aHJvdWdoZG9taW5vZXMvZmVlZC54bWw  Amazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ff3b62d1-4acb-4a3d-8bd8-89f5aba3ace6  Player FM: https://player.fm/series/digging-through-dominoes  You can use this RSS feed in other Podcast platforms: https://feed.podbean.com/diggingthroughdominoes/feed.xml  YouTube main Channel URL for Podcast playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE4W_QJYGZH7d2wyB-0gDe5fAjI2cSi4J  Digging Through Dominoes Youtube Video Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4A3V8sW0X5c1QZGqQfBqXw  Digging Through Dominoes Social Media:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DiggingThroughDominoes  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diggingthroughdominoes/   

A recent event shook me so much I wondered if a person can have too much therapy? A recent event shook me so much I wondered if a person can have too much therapy? After the events unfolded I was in a near panic attack, searching for answers and wishing for normal, whatever normal is.  I felt the emotion, the body memories, from decades past enveloping me. Had I taken my therapy too far?

It was a lazy morning as I scrolled through my YouTube feed. There were three videos that caught my attention. One was entitled, "Weird Things Only Narcissists Do," by Rebecca Zung. The next was, "When Narcissists Paint You As Unhinged," by Dr. Ramani. The last,  feel was a true gem. I thought about it all day. It was by Jordi Universe and entitled, "To You, A Year From Now." Jordi's message hit me hard and stayed with me throughout the day. It was compelling, beautifully done and asked the one question that leads to many more, "What if?" Here are links to the videos: Rebecca Zung: https://youtube.com/watch?v=VKfRME7omPY&feature=share&si=EMSIkaIECMiOmarE6JChQQ Dr. Ramani: https://youtube.com/watch?v=SZaRMnqBGyk&feature=share&si=EMSIkaIECMiOmarE6JChQQ Jordi Universe: https://youtube.com/watch?v=HWaZgAGMsc8&feature=share&si=EMSIkaIECMiOmarE6JChQQ   Below are the affiliate links to some of the books I've spoken of thus far in this podcast.
