Welcome to PARASITES OF THE MIND!
Saturday, June 20th, 2009 • BRIDGE THE GAP Healing Workshop •
So you’ve decided to do some PTSD research — wonderful! Or you’ve decided you’re ready to self-empower your healing process — even better!
Parasites of the Mind is the daily healing PTSD blog offered by Heal My PTSD, LLC, an organization whose mission is to advocate for PTSD awareness, education, treatment and self-empowered healing.
WHAT’S ON THIS SITE
Parasites of the Mind (POTM) is a daily healing blog that covers a wide breadth of PTSD issues. We post every day because healing happens slowly and in increments, so you’ve got to work at it and be aware all the time.
POTM is designed to incorporate theoretical and philosophical aspects of healing, activities to further healing, and the internal survivor experience and perspective. Plus, we feature the voices of a wide pool of people from professionals to survivors - there is so much to be learned when we join our voices together!
An overview of daily POTM features looks like this:
Monday/Wednesday/Friday - These posts are part of the BRIDGE THE GAP healing workshop. Designed around monthly modules, you can join this free workshop any time. Use it to progress or jump start your healing process.
Tuesday - We are all individual in our traumas but universal in our PTSD experience.It’s much easier to take control of and commit to the healing process when you know you’re not alone. ‘Survivors Speak’ is a weekly series that hosts the voices of survivors who are healing.
Thursday - Michele Rosenthal is the founder of Heal My PTSD, LLC. A trauma survivor herself, Michele struggled with undiagnosed PTSD for 25 years. And then she was diagnosed and went on a healing rampage! In the weekly feature ‘Meandering Michele’s Mind’ she explores a wide range of random, experiential PTSD thoughts, beliefs, perceptions and misconceptions.
Saturday - You can’t exist in a vacuum or evolve your healing in a cocoon. You’ve got to know what’s going on in the PTSD world so you’re up to date on the latest research findings, healing methods and survivor experiences. The key to your own healing could come from anywhere at anytime. ‘PTSD in the News’ is a weekly feature designed to keep you in the know.
Sunday - Even when you’re self-empowering your healing it’s still good to hear the point of view of a trained trauma advisor. ‘Professional Perspective’ is a weekly feature written by someone in the healing field illuminating some important aspect of healing.
