  • There is a Permanent Solution to PTSD

    There are a couple of truths we each have to face and own, if we are to embrace this solution

    When was it that you first noticed your insanity?

    Was it in junior high, or in high school when you volunteered to enlist and defend the innocent, the oppressed?

    Was it when the armed forces' psyche evaluated you?

    Did they miss something, or were you too good at hiding your madness?

    Was it during or after you finished basic training?

    Was it being deployed, or shortly after you were deployed?

    When exactly were you insane?

    Was it seeing the horrors of war, of what another can do to a human being?

    Was it in that moment you were insane?

    Was it when you returned home, and knowing your experiences changed you and you felt like a square peg and all your family and friends round pegs; was it in that moment you knew you were insane?

    Was it through your efforts to contain your mixed emotions that you didn't want to hurt or harm anyone?

    Was that the point when you knew you were insane?

    Was it when you used every possible option you had to contain yourself and none of it worked, and then, did you know you were insane?

    Was it when, in desperation, you went to see a mental health professional, and you poured out your heart to them- all the gore and horrors you were dealing with on a daily basis- and it was all too much for you; and in that first encounter with that professional, they formed an opinion of what your condition and the solution might be?

    Or was it then, clutching at straws for a solution, you accepted this opinion as fact, and in turn, as you accepted this opinion as your diagnosis, you had to play that role forevermore?

    In that moment, did you truly feel insane, or were you just hoping this might help you live a normal life?

    These are the kind of questions only you can answer for yourself, if you are truly open to embracing a permanent solution to your diagnosis.

    You see, you are the survivor today; you are no longer the victim of the conflict; as it is not happening in real time in the here and now, you are experiencing sympathy pains for your younger self, your inner child, who enlisted; they were the victim, not the person you are today.

    This is the truth that shall set you free

    Your past is no longer your history; it is their story

    The permanent solution is when you make the decision to allow your inner child to step into the light, but to do this, they need all the details and baggage of what they went through returned to them, freely and unconditionally.

    You are not your past, it is no longer your story or your history.

    The PTSD diagnosis belongs to the victim of that past trauma, and you being the survivor today, means it's not yours to suffer in the present.

    There is a permanent solution to PTSD; you make the decision to give all of the details and baggage of the past, back to its rightful owner, the victim, your younger self, the one we refer to as your inner child.

    We accomplish this through the spiritual solution that is the 2 part process Trauma Recovery Anonymous.

    In this way we heal the hole in the soul, eating away at us. 

    When this dark energy leaves us, our feelings about us and our responsibilities change, thus our thinking changes; and at that point we realize we were never mentally ill, nor did we have a mental disorder

  • There is a Permanent Solution to Anxiety the disorder

    There is a Permanent Solution to Anxiety the disorder.

    Understand all of our feelings and emotions, the good, the bad and the ugly ones; like anxiety, depression, anger and regret; are our God given instincts to keep us safe in the face of any danger, real or imaginary.

    When we feel anxious, that is God telling us to

    Get out of there!

    Run away!

    Hide!

    Ask for help from our tribe!

    Seek a solution from our tribe!

    We are not meant to repress or suppress our instincts, but to trust them at all times.

    The next time you feel anxious, worried, or fearful, simply get up and walk away, and when you are far enough away that you feel safer and calmer, you will realize in that moment that your anxiety is your friend and superpower.

    HOW TO LIVE STRESS & ANXIETY FREE 24 HOURS A DAY is a  book containing simple coping skills to help you look at any form of anxiety is a different light and it is available on most book platforms.

  • Man shouldn't be defined by a feeling

    A human being should not be defined by a feeling.  It is one of God's instincts to be trusted in the face of any danger, real or imaginary.

    When we feel anything, we are meant to trust that feeling, no matter hoe painful it is.

    When we are experiencing any form on anxiety, fear, panic, dread or loneliness, this is God telling us to escape that environment, situation or feelings, through the adult responses of Flight or Fight.

    With children, young people and toddlers, who are in abusive situations and they are unable to find a healthy solution, or able to protect or defend themselves, and they feel abandoned, lost or alone, the healthy responses for them are Freeze & Fawn.

    But as we grown from adolescence to adulthood, we are meant to put away the childish responses and embrace those healthier adult responses.

    Yet so many young people and many adults today, are stuck in the early coping skills of Freeze and Fawn, when their instincts are triggered. It can be very embarrassing for them to admit, they don't know how to actually react or respond in a more mature and responsible way.

    It is up to the other adults in the room, or in their company to break down the four responses, so that person who feels insecure and broken can understand they are perfectly capable of taking care of their business, they need only be shown how.

    on top of this, we need to share with these wounded spirits, that there are two principles that govern these responses.

    Faith;

    Maintain your faith in your parents, guardians, relatives, family, older siblings, friends, colleagues, favorite teacher or manager. Understand your therapist is paid to listen to you, but it takes courage to allow others to love us, when we are at our lowest, to know they, in many cases are using tough love, in order than we become more independent.

    Acceptance:

    Understand it's not all about you. You're no-ones victim. not everyone is going to like you, or you them. other people have their own lives and their responsibilities to deal with, and many haven't the time or energy for you to play the victim.

    We need to teach everyone all the different ways to respond to life using both the childhood responses

    Freeze & Fawn

     and with the adult responses of

    Flight & Fight

    If we fulfil this duty; whether around the family kitchen table or in the classroom, we will be doing a marvelous service to mankind, safeguarding the future of the human race

  • How does your therapist deal with feeling any form of stress?

    Stress is an everyday part of daily life for all. Everyone experiences different forms and levels of stress, even your therapist.

    Look at the state of the world today, the anarchy seems to be spreading in every direction, the fear of the wellbeing of our children and the wellbeing on our nations and society can be full of stress.

    Therapists not only have to worry about their families, their job, but also your wellbeing, that of your family and all their other clients.

    Do you see your therapist falling apart?

    Do you see your therapist curled up in a ball, in the corner of her office, stressed out?

    Does your therapist come to your sessions, high, on drugs or medication or smelling of booze?

    Does your therapist appear to be stress free?

    Does your therapist appear to have a handle of her stress?

    Why is that, why is it that your therapist doesn't need to treat their stress as you are instructed to treat yours?

    Wouldn't that be a fair conversation to have?

    You know your therapist cares for you and wants the best for you, why not ask her to share with you, her coping skills.

    Can you imagine the next time  you feel any form of stress, rather than doing the usual, you decide to copy what your therapist does, and the danger passes?

    What would that be like for you?

    what would that mean for you, going forward?

    That, in that moment of the stress not overpowering you, you get to feel like your therapist, that you are capable of coping with what ever life throws at you?

    This then give you the courage and confidence to ask for more coping skills and then to ask your parents, your family, your siblings, your loved ones, your friends for their coping skills.

    Can you see yourself; in say 6 months; able to handle things that used to baffle you?

    What would that feel like for you

    #howtolivestressandanxietyfree24hoursadaybyrichardtierney

    Learn the past didn't happen to the person you are today, so the diagnosis of depression or ptsd are not yours to suffer.

    You carry the memory of what happened to a younger aspect of you in another life time; this is why we refer to this person as your inner child; it happened to them, not you. You carry that memory and sympathy pains for them as a show of support and solidarity for what they went through.

    #traumarecoveryanonymous

    Don't be afraid to ask for a solution that works for other people, especially your therapist.

  • How does your therapist deal with Depression

    Everyone on this planet gets depressed, even your therapist.

    We all experience loss and hurt over past events. Not feeling anything about what we have gone through would be inhuman.

    So, wouldn't it be a good idea to have a chat with your therapist about depression and how they cope?

    I imagine your therapist isn't on medication and in therapy for depression, so how do they manage those moments, those memories that cause them to feel mad, sad, or regret the past?

    What do they do?

    How do they cope?

    Then simply copy them: what works, keep; what doesn't, discard.

    Soon you will build up a whole arsenal of healthy coping skills and you will feel less depressed as you learn to deal with these memories and the feelings they trigger

    in most cases, we look up to our all knowing therapist as the holder of the solution, our mentor and life coach to guide us in life; it seems like a great idea to me, that we should ask them how they cope with depression and the different factors that go into depression:

    The anger

    The sadness

    The regret

    The remorse

     The guilt

    The shame

    The sense of isolation and loneliness

     I am fairly sure your therapist has a wonderful arsenal of healthy coping skill and affirmative actions they recommend to their families and children.

    Your therapist wants the best for you, but wont suffer this path, until they know you are capable of walking the walk, and so they will wait patiently, lovingly for you to approach them and ask them for a new way of dealing with depression, a way in which you face your fears and demons head on and overcome them,

    This is your time to take this action and ask your therapist how they deal with depression.

    I can suggest a program that worked for me and those who have followed me onto this path

    Healing Any Past Trauma Memory

    #healinganypasttraumamemory

    and then a program to teach you to take it, one day at a time, never looking back into the victimhood of all your past lives, and knowing the unknown future isn't happening today ad therefore none of your business today

  • How does your therapist deal with Anxiety?

    Surely if your therapist sees anxiety as a mental disorder, then ask,  how does your therapist deal with their anxiety?

    Do they suffer in all the ways that you suffer anxiety?

    Do they push people away?

    Do they curl up in a ball and cry uncontrollably?

    Do they feel no one understands them or cares for them?

    Do they spend all their time with you talking about their feelings, their poor me instances, their peeves?

    Do they feel they should get a special pass in life?

    or

    Do they handle anxiety?

    Are they in control of their feelings?

    How do they cope with their anxiety?

    Surely, it would be a good idea to learn from them how they manage their feelings, like anxiety, fear & worry?

    Wouldn't it be a great thing if you learned how your therapist copes, copy what they do, and suddenly you would be in command of your feelings like your therapist?

    How cool would that be?

    Imagine the next time you feel anxious, rather than letting it rule you and needing to medicate how you feel, you copy what your therapist does, and you find yourself surviving that moment. What would that feel like?

    Wouldn't that be marvelous?

    You would be stronger, more confident, just like your therapist!

    Know you therapist will not force change on you, in case you feel threatened or isolated, but if you ask them for more productive ways to deal with anxiety, they will jump at the chance to empower you to overcome your fears and worries.

    So, the next time you feel anxious, worried or fearful about anything or anyone, ask your therapist what they would do in that situation. 

    Try it, if it works for you keep it; if it doesn't, discard it and ask for another idea or suggestion.

    There will come a time when you have tried so many of your therapists healthy coping skills that in the future when you are triggered, you will realize it isn't as bad as before, because now you feel in control.

    Doing this, asking others for their coping skills, not just your therapist, but your parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, friends. favorite teacher, professor or manager/boss; and one day you will no you no longer have an anxiety disorder, you'll see anxiety as a superpower instinct, to trust in the face of any danger

  • An Opinion is only an opinion until...

    An opinion is only an opinion until the recipient adds substance to it.

    When a mental health professional on meeting you for the first time, gives their opinion of what your problem might be, at that point, that is their opinion, they might be wrong.

    It is solely down to you as to whether you accept that opinion as your truth or you reject it.

    If you accept it as your truth and their opinion is that you have a mental disorder; for  instance lets suggest Depression or PTSD.  Only when you buy into this opinion does it gain substance and traction. It's only when you, not at your best, decide that a strangers opinion of you, should define you for the rest of your life; understand you are your own worst enemy; you cant blame the professional, they just gave you an opinion, you can't blame your childhood, your past, the war or your parents; you elected to accept a person's opinion as your truth.

    Lets imagine in this moment, you think i am a fool for making this argument.

    Now be clutching for answers accept your opinion, and declare "

    I am a fool" 

    For this to become my reality and solution, I must embrace the concept of being a fool in every area of my life. i have to keep loyal to this diagnosis because i have chosen this pinion of yours to define me.

    But what if i disagree, what fi my arguments are valid, that a fool would never been responsible enough  to look you up and make an appointment to see you.

    And so rejecting your opinion,  I go looking for a second opinion.

    Here the mental health professional agrees I am not a fool, but declares I an an idiot; that i am talking about things  I am not qualified to talk of and therefore i must be a complete idiot.

    Again, if I accept your opinion, I must now act the complete idiot to present this new identity to all about me.

    But what if, once more, i disagree with your opinion and after voicing all my reasons why i am not an idiot, i go in search of a third opinion.

    This time i decide to talk to a Holistic therapist or coach to see it from the perspective of an emotional disturbance rather than a mental illness.

    Their solution empowers me to see all my feelings and emotions are my God given instincts, and every time i am triggered now, I choose Flight or Fight, and to my surprise my world doesn't fall apart.

    But there is something niggling at me,  I'm sill not all there. i realize there is a past memory eating away at me, and burying my head in the sand and pretending it isn't there doesn't work & so i set aside and skepticism and ask a spiritual advisor about how do i claim and perform miracles to cast out my demons. 

    They suggest a spiritual solution, and once completed,  am free of my demons,  have slain my dragons past and broken the bondage of the past

    for the first time in my life i am completely free of the past 

    I am able to focus all of my attention and intentions on the present and those I am responsible for.

     

    I had to decide if i was going to allow another person's opinion rule and define me

    or

    was I willing to do what it would take to let go of the past completely

  • Suicide the Final Solution

    Those of us facing suicide as a final solution to the pains and hurts, don't need people around them to be present and willing to listen to them.

    They require a new solution, something old, something new.

    They have tried every man-made solution and they are running  out of ideas.

    They need a spiritual solution to mend their broken spirit, their wounded soul,  the hole in their soul

    Everyone can see the pain and hurt on the surface; in their thoughts and feelings, in their anguish and rage, but no one  can see the Cause; what is eating away  at them. 

    Until we help them find a solution to heal this gaping hole in their soul, they will never know peace.

    In the same way we are not the person we were yesterday because we are 24 hours older today, this simple common sense is the truth that shall set them free, but they need to hear it from you.

    As you cant be the person you were 24 hours ago, you cant be a younger aspect of you from another lifetime, who suffered a trauma event back then

    We are the survivors today,

    Our younger selves, they were the victim

    That is the truth that shall set all tempted with suicide to pull back from that brink of despair.

    We have to teach these wounded souls to return the details and baggage of the past back to its rightful owner, and that it is much easier that it sounds, they embrace the 2 hour healing event to make this exchange using the practice Healing any Past Trauma Memory

    #healinganypasttraumamemory

    Once they give the baggage back, the inner child steps into the light with it, and those left behind feel this release mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

    They know a new freedom, they see that the diagnosis attached to the past event was never about them, it had its origin in an event that  happened to someone in their past and so they jump into

    the 12 steps of Trauma Recovery Anonymous

    Once the individual completes this 3 hour process they are completely free of the energy surrounding the old memory, that ate at their soul for so long.

    It might be that they have fears, real or imaginary of the unknown future and these will have to be addressed at some stage

  • Anxiety is a Superpower

    Understand all your feelings and emotions are not mental disorders, rather they are our God given instincts, our gut feelings to keep safe.

    When we feel anxious, we can use one one of our responses.

    In the animal kingdom, when an animal is being attacked or hunted, they will respond with : Flight.  - Fight.  - Freeze

    Watch any national geographic episode and you will see animals going through these responses.

    But, we are human beings, were endowed with three other responses: Fawn - Faith. - Acceptance.

    Freeze and Fawn are the perfect healthy responses for young children. young children cannot run away or defend themselves; all they can do is to either Freeze or Fawn.


    We have to learn to use the other responses and why:

    Flight:

    run away, leave the building,  the conversation, the relationship, the situation

    Fight:

    1. ask for help, tell others you don't want to be fixed or saved but would they teach you how to cope better, look at your therapist, they experience anxiety too, yet you don't see them medicating themselves, ask them what they do and simply copy them,  seek a solution, stand up for yourself, fight back, just say no
    2. Faith : keep your faith in your parents and family, ignore your self talk, accept there is a god, stop arguing whether the chicken or the egg came first

      Acceptance: understand it's not all  about you, you are no one's victim, 

      Understand your anxiety is a great warning skill probably the best call to action in your whole armory of coping skills ,so  trust your anxiety and remember they are your God given instincts.

      The best thing you can do right now is to stop listening to your self talk. there are two sets of voices within you.

      The conscious voices in your mind 

      &

      The subconscious voices of your soul

      One set knocks you down 

      &

      The other set builds you up

      Learn to differentiate which is which.

    3. You are ready!

      You are ready!

      You are ready for change.

      You found this podcast and episode on your feed. Nothing happens by chance. there is a Cause for every thing in life.

      As with mental disorders like Depression & PTSD, they are the Effect.

      The question we need to be both asking and answering are

      What happened in the past to Cause the diagnosis?

      When did it happen?

      Who did it happen to?

      If you are the survivor today, looking back at a trauma event in the past, then clearly it didnt happen to you the survivor, so who was the victim.

      We cant live in two lifetimes

      We cant live two separate lives

      We cant be two different people from two different time zones.

      Either our whole lives, its meaning and purpose, is to be found in the land of the living today, or we are enduring a lie.

      if we have brought a dead thing from the past into the present, we have brought the death, decay and disease of an event not ours, belonging to a younger aspect of us, from another lifetime, the one we refer to is our inner child. We have literally dug up their grave and decided to ignore the life they sacrificed so much for; for us; to suffer a dead thing, and the death, decay and disease of that dead thing is destroying everything and everyone it touches.

      Healing Any Past Trauma Memory ,means giving the details and baggage of the past event back to its rightful owner, in a non and intrusive 2 hour healing the soul event
