Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions
Hello, welcome to the podcast of health and healing in the areas of addiction and abuse, with Michael. My passion and interest started with becoming aware that many of us have childhood traumas that we carry into our adult lives, but we didn't have them addressed or never acknowledged that we had an addiction or a mental illness. Some of the abuses, we suffered were slight or verbal that we just wrote off, other abuses were kept in secret for many years. Now we want to expose those lie-based beliefs, through tools and partnering with the Holy Spirit to help us heal those traumas and Illnesses to become whole. Hurt people hurt people, so we must seek ways to heal so that we can assist others in their healing processes. Disclaimer: * I am not a doctor or professional therapist. However, I am licensed and an ordained Minister, who's interest was piqued as it related to my personal journey and struggles with addictions and abuses that found their way into every aspect of my life unknowingly. God knows I'm a work in progress. Come along as we heal together.

How young survivors of mass shootings cope with trauma
The mental wounds from school shootings ripple through the nation. Over and again, school shootings break Americans' hearts. It's traumatizing to know that innocent babies lose their lives based on a person who has issues, problems, and hate in their heart. Just because something didn't go their way or they feel defeated, maybe because of what they believe and no one shares in their belief, or whatever it was, it didn't work out for them.
We all have troubles, some worse than others—why do we have to purchase weapons (guns) to shoot innocent people and cowardly kill themselves? Mass shootings cannot be discussed without acknowledging the repercussions they have on the mental health of the survivors. Gun violence impacts every aspect of society, and now it's built into the very fabric of America! There are pros and cons to owning a gun, such as suicides, domestic violence, and homicides, which speak to the fact that every two seconds someone dies from a shooting.
Yes, you have a right to bear arms, but none of us have the right to kill innocent children, and each child has a right to live and live a full and productive life.
Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral physical and mental health issues. It is especially hard if you are dealing with other personal, work, relationship, or family-related issues. It is okay to ask for help.
