For example, “I watched the movie you recommended. Surprised my girlfriend enjoyed it also…she’s not usually into sci-fi. Any other movie recommendations?”
Well I am coping with the CPTSD my husband gifted me for life ….but I will never trust no man whatsoever ….he taught me that no man is safe . This is indeed the world of predatory insensitive men ….does not matter how much therapy will be given to me ….once trust is broken stays broken ….no dating …no sex ….as I will forever not feel safe in a presence of any man .
Thank you, Marina, for sharing your experience, though I'm so sorry you’ve had to go through this. It's heartbreaking to hear how much pain your husband has caused and how deeply it has affected your sense of safety and trust. Trauma can have a profound impact on how we see the world, and it’s understandable that you would feel this way. Healing from something like this isn’t easy or straightforward, and it can feel like no amount of therapy will undo the damage. Your feelings about trust and safety are completely valid. I hope that, in your own time and way, you find spaces where you can feel secure-whether that’s through community, friendships, or moments of self-compassion. While trust may feel irreparable, the journey you’re on is uniquely yours, and no one can define or rush your healing. Take care of yourself, and thank you again for sharing this important truth.
Yes true. It’s a spiritual condition that science ignores in their clinical research. We are Body Mind Spirit only acknowledge Body and Mind. Is this a mistake? No it is a construct promoted by the lies of Satan through our socialization. Professionalism excludes talk about God or spiritual things but they are open to Buddhist beliefs such as meditation and mindfulness. These are philosophies that the Bible also supports but we are prevented from talking about it. Simply put Christ died for humanity to save us from spiritual attacks from evil forces like Satan. This physical earth is just a speck in the spiritual realm which is more real than our world. There is a spiritual war against humanity because what the Bible calls the evil one, the devil, AKA Satan is the “god” of our world. We are God’s creation and He gave us a way out from Satans rule and plan to steal, kill, and destroy humanity. The way out is through His Son Jesus Christ. He gave us eternal life through His self-sacrificial death, His resurrection, and ascension into heaven to rule on the right hand of God. Jesus was God in the flesh and His purpose was to spread the Word of salvation. This is a serious matter because our lives depend on God’s grace for eternal life. Satan can only offer eternal death. God loves us so much that He sacrificed his own Son who willingly gave His life for us. God is a loving, kind, forgiving, and just (as in justice) God. Satan uses our desires and perceptions to control us and influence humans into self destructive behavior even to the point of death. He wants to nurture humanity’s rebellious nature towards God to keep us from accepting His gift of salvation. Jesus Christ is the narrow path to eternal life with our Father God. Satan can only offer physical and spiritual death. Keeping humanity in the dark (literally) is his agenda using deception and manipulation of our minds to turn against ourselves. The filed is psychology is doing us a disservice by excluding spiritual warfare (“battle against good and evil”) in clinical research. A spiritual battle requires spiritual weapons.
This was so informative.My 74 year old disabled husband and i(66) have so much childhood trauma and due to his chronic health issues ( spinal stenosis, now chf & Afib which has weakened his heart function down to 30% and he is wearing an external defibrillator for 90 days to see if he will need to have a permanent defibrillator implanted),numerous surgeries, recoveries, rehabs that led to addictions and my years of being caregiver for him, 2 children, 2 grandchildren, my daddy’s full time caregiver these last 7 years on his Alzheimer’s journey( that just ended Sunday night)and now my husband again. Thru it all I helped run our family owned carpet cleaning business for 37 years. So yes we are emotionally distant from each other. We have somehow survived for 44 years. We both need trauma counseling but it’s been hard to find a therapist so far🤦♀️. Thanks for the interview though. Lots of helpful suggestions 🙂 9:55
Too bad he was a total fraud. Meucci, an Italian dentist invented the telephone. He spoke no English. He dropped his design off at the patent office and then it was mysteriously lost. Alexander Graham Bell worked at that patent office. Congress recognized this fact and put it into the record. They credit Meucci as the inventor of the telephone. Tesla created the entire 20th century but few people know it. So many injustices from those days.
Fascinating, i've heard so many different "he's a fraud" stories. I head that he stole the telephone idea from an Asian immigrant who didn't have the money to bring it to market. If there's anything that I've learned from history, no one "invents" anything. It's more like they built on the ideas of those before and parallel to them. Elon Musk didn't invent the electric car, but he did it better and was able to scale it faster.
Hello Leo. I must come and see you at the Rio I live in Vegas I am starting to do stand-up I decided to laugh and live Instead of cry and die I would love to meet you I'm going to get tickets to the show and hopefully I will be able to meet you then
1 Corinthians 6:9 King James Bible Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind.
Get lost. That's mean and untrue too. Us gay pple will be up there right along with you. God wouldn't make me gay just to send me to hell. No he made me gay to enjoy men. And boy am I.
@@philipzanoni God made you how God made you but it’s up to you to choose the right path and in the end Gods ways are always best for all of us. Choose Jesus today. If you ask Jesus to save you then he will do that and you’ll see that his ways are better. Listen there’s no one that’s perfect and we all have desires that are not pleasing to God. If we confess our sins to God then he is faithful and true to cleanse us of all unrighteousness. God does not leave us to battle any battle on our own. Everyone knows right from wrong. It’s hard sometimes to deny ourselves and pick up the cross n follow Jesus. But our rewards are not in this life although we are rewarded by God everyday for loving and believing in Jesus. Listen you need to hurry up and get saved. I’m telling you that time is running out and the window is closing. Won’t you please ask Jesus today to come into your life and save you. You choose your path but you’ve been warned by someone who knows first hand that it’s a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God. But there is forgiveness at the cross with Jesus Christ. And Gods word says he won’t be mocked so if we choose any life that’s contrary to how he tells us to live rather we do this out of ignorance or rebellion only God knows. But if we me to choose to go against God and live anyway we want then that’s not a safe thing to do. We must fear God. That’s the beginning of wisdom the Bible says!! The Bible says in Hosea 8:7 that If we sow the wind we shall reap the whirlwind!! ◄ Hosea 8:7 ► New International Version “They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no head; it will produce no flour. Were it to yield grain, foreigners would swallow it up. Bible > Hebrews > Chapter 10 > Verse 31 ◄ Hebrews 10:31 ► New International Version It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Luke 23:34 “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots Psalm 91:15 King James Version (KJV) He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. Romans 10:13-15 King James Version (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved Proverbs 10:27, “The fear of the Lord prolongs days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.”
Leo! Perfect timing! I’ve recently had 4 coffee dates and a dinner date with a gentleman, and I have been just trying to NOT be awkward afterwards. LOL!!!!🤣🤣🤣 Thanks!✅💚
Thx for the review, I'll give it a read. Bell is a fascinating figure who I believe is often overlooked to the likes of Edison, or nowadays Jobs and Musk.
I’m a transistorized, transgenederized, transmogrified trans-human A corporatized, commercialized, industrial-strength consumer A goal setting, gym sweating, debt fretting freak A social climbing net-worker that’s always on heat I got my education, majoring in indoctrination Where they taught me to comply, to never question why And so I’m chasing an illusion, of success that’s a delusion That is sending me insane, exploding my brain And as we teeter on the brink, soon to be extinct I always wear a smile, coz I'm living in denial
I went through all this in 2020: The empty nest syndrome. The loss of my beloved 15 yo dog. Being and living completely alone. Anemia and hormones level down to impressive levels. Abruptly stop taking benzos cause I thought they were making me sick but it was actually the hormonal issue . It's been a nightmare
Def spend more time where you can go. I met him a few times. He published a book for another HeadBlade guy I'm pals with who was a fighter. It's a great book. I;ll send it to you if you wanna read it.
30:15 Steak and eggs. Zero-carb. There are no essential carbohydrates. There is no such thing as healthy fruits and vegetables. 32:22 If your kid asks for steak, eggs, fish, butter shrimp, etc. make sure they get them. Don't eat junk food around them. Remove all plant-based foods from the house. If they have a favorite junk food hide it, for emergency use only. They will get over it if they get the nutrition they need. OCD is curable. Autism is treatable. The healthier the child becomes the fewer interventions that are needed. Teachers do need to be trained to spot autism rather than pretend it doesn't exist. It seems none of my daughter's teachers understand her condition. They have no problem spotting her out and making her feel dumb. Putting all the different kids in one room is child abuse. I'm not a teacher. I don't have all the answers. These are complex nuanced issues.
