Midweek Gotta Share -- A must-read Blog!
Victim/Survivor/Heroine of her own life—Susan Kay—has penned a great piece reflecting on her personal experience of PTSD from discovery which was then compounded by treatment-induced trauma. It’s entitled “Lessons from the Captain” and works with the movie “Captain Phillips” to make her points more effective.
Follow this link to this Sweetwater Blog from last week: https://www.sweetwaterretreats.org/blog/2020/1/12/lessons-from-the-captain and find questions for reflection when you read more here (below).
Questions for reflection:
What lines from Susan really resonated with you?
After leaving us in the wreckage of “treatment” how has the treatment industry addressed any missteps, outright incompetence, past errors of its model and/or practitioners?
Was the term “epigenetics” new for you? Look it up and learn more to help you understand your life and how its experiences may affect you now.
What physical health changes have appeared, compounded, worsened since your discovery and/or “treatment”?
What kind of clinical attention have your received about these changes from your treatment practitioner?
How have your interactions with your man called a sex addict added to your health struggles?
What mental health issues have you faced and how are they being addressed?
Please know that no one can take your place in this world. Insist on appropriate care and qualified, trained and respectful clinical attention and referral to other medical professionals.
Fight for your body, your mind, your spirit, and your heart. Fight for your life, first. The relationship can wait its turn. First—-your precious irreplaceable life!
with you,
Diane.
