A Father’s Military Service: Layers of Trauma & Familial Healing: Embrace Your Neurostyle and Beyond

In honor of Memorial Day & Mental Health Awareness by Evidential Medium Deborah Romero:
 “Spirit is so intelligent as they orchestrated the outline for Dr Denise and I to Flow together with Grace and Compassion for Humanity. Mental Health Matters, You Matter and you’re not alone. Dr Denise & I opened up together diving deep into the importance of honoring OUR FEELINGS and unique sensory perception(s)!
Dr. Denise McDermott completed her Adult Psychiatry residency at Emory University and her Child Psychiatry fellowship at University of California Los Angeles where she was acting Chief Fellow. We both had no idea the magnitude of how our work together would be so divining. An honor of those who battle Mental Health and those who have fallen and continue to suffer silently from their wounds seen & unseen from serving for our country.  A piece of my story was shared to give hope to others to know there are alternative ways to take your healing ❤️‍🩹 journey to another level with Eastern & Western Medicine. I gave a glimpse into my personal journey in the part 1 of  the interview as I stepped outside of the box with compassion & gentleness for myself.  Investing in yourself matters.
Part 2 of my interview talks about one layer of my traumas . You will hear how it coincides with Mental Health Awareness and Memorial Day . I was Raw and vulnerable, but surrounded by the love of the women in my family who were and are still present for me . It was truly a gift from spirit . Having support as I flowed with tears was bitter sweet not having my mom present.  My mother is one of the strongest women I know and I only wish I can continue to embody the strength she carries from her  past .  I didn’t cry because what happened, but because my mother suffers from dementia and the little girl within me yearns for that mother/daughter connection . Grief unfolded but I know I can connect in a deeper profound way which will always be eternal.
I am Yaqui descent who was raised by very strong women and who is always divinely connected to God, the unknown of the paranormal, where some may consider it superstition.  Medium was not a word used then and we just knew our family members  would have that deep knowing.  Remember it is your birth right to flow with your perception and sensory’s . May my words shared Inspire you to ignite the fire within to ask for help  and follow your heart to wellness. Be Fierce for yourself because you matter.
In Loving Memory to all who have lost the battle to Mental  health and for those who have served. In God We Trust.
Thank you
Dr Denise for the opportunity to connect with you and spirit  . I give Gratitude to my angels , ancestors and spirit 🤍🙏🌻
For the sacred space that was created for A deeper Understanding of how mental health not only effects the person who is experiencing it, but it becomes a ripple effect for those who love them.   Let’s create a new wave of vibrations to flow with Understanding, Compassion and Love , as one continues their personal healing  journey .
Simply be Kind”
Debbie

 

A Father’s Military Service: Layers of Trauma & Familial Healing:

The Slurpee Solution

“Let’s do a show tonight Mom!”

Never a dull moment at our house. This surprise Saturday night request ended up being a “processing” of how my son felt about his school being closed for the rest of the school year  due to a graffiti gun violence threat.

The Slurpee Solution:

 

Disclaimer: My son and I need to process tough stuff in our unique way and I did not want to overly traumatize him about revisiting the Uvalde Victims to trigger fear in him after his school got shut down for gun threats on Thursday for the rest of the year.

I intentionally lightly addressed it and shifted attention to the positive. Please listen to the thoughtful show Jake Myers and I did this week that is geared towards adults only.

Sending love to all of you.

The Mindful Pivot: Prayers for the Uvalde Victims and One Humanity

Confessions of a Recovering Perfectionist: On Staying Sane

How do we stay SANE and keep BALANCE in our every day life, especially if we are recovering perfectionists?

We need to ADAPT and walk the path of ADAPTIVE perfectionism vs. restrictive perfectionism.

Ex: This show was recorded and supposed to launch a few days ago.

A mindful pause happened to honor:

~emergencies in my psychiatry practice

~to process the tragedy in Uvalde and loss of 21 innocent victims

(with my son, on shows, with my patients, & with prayer)

~ to respond to a safety pivot (school remote rest of year) due to a violent gun threat at my son’s school

Time in nature, unplugging, and staying in gratitude for all the everyday blessings allows a mind/body/soul RESET for all of US.

Confessions of a recovering perfectionist with Mindscape Hacks right here:

Several shows will launch today in the Spirit of Mental Health Awareness Month. 

THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

Diva Discussions Let’s Celebrate Shay Mitchell Two Years Sober, Part 2!

“Unfuckwithable: when your heart energy is stronger after the unimaginable.” -Dr. Denise

Shamebusting, boundaries, gratitude, inner circle, mindful pauses, and sober hacks are on this deep dive part 2 with Shay Mitchell.

Mindful profanity and more right here:

Shay is officially part of the UNFUCKWITHABLE Soul Tribe!

Shay Mitchell 

“I knew that sobriety would never work for me if I didn’t I knew that sobriety would never work for me if I didn’t create a life of fun, excitement, adventure, and happiness. So I set out to build a strong foundation for this new way of life.

I began an IOP (intensive outpatient program) where I attended group via zoom 3 hours a night, 3 nights a week, for 4 months. This helped me in so many ways from connecting with other alcoholics, to having assignments that helped provide insight into my disease. I also got a therapist that specialized in substance abuse and began seeing her weekly. She helped me through a lot of the trauma that I had been self-medicating to survive for so many years. I still see her  bi-weekly!

I found a Psychiatrist and got on the right prescriptions for depression, and anxiety and I also got on a once a month craving-blocker shot. (Not having cravings for alcohol was HUGE for my early recovery.) I was also on medicine for sleep and anger. (Today I am completely med free, but having these as I navigated early sobriety was very useful for me.)

I read a lot of quit lit (quitting literature) you can find a list on the resources page. These books really helped me to see the great parts of being sober, and that I would still be able to enjoy my life without alcohol.

Finally, I started a sober Instagram & Facebook page @shaysober to keep me accountable and as a daily reprieve in my pocket. I share there every day and love connecting with my sober instagram community.”
