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.

Viola Ford Fletcher - "Don't let them Bury my Story!"
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The name Viola may not ring a bell in circles you reside in; however, the name Viola Ford-Fletcher is a common name, one not to be forgotten. Ms. Fletcher, affectionately known as "Mother Fletcher," was one of the last survivors of the 1921 horrific tragedies committed by an all-white mob in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Known as the "Black Wall Street" massacre, a lie was published in the newspaper of a colored man accused of assaulting a woman of non-color. How many stories have we heard of this magnitude that were untrue? Yes, white women were assaulted, but many of them were assaulted by white men who claimed it was a man of color.
Even while attempting to bring justice to the story, the very system that is in place denied then and still denies people of color justice and healing today, yet the racist perpetrators walk free and are not held accountable.
"Don't let them bury my story!"
The Light will always shine in darkness—you may think on this side, no justice nor peace is on your side, but retribution is ours in the Holies of Holies. Vengeance is mine; I will repay. Says the Lord!
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. Please be aware that it is okay to ask for help.
