Traumatized: We Don’t Stop

Trauma is "stress without resolve." So says Teal Swan, and I agree. Swan also says that unresolved trauma manifests as problems with one's physical, mental, and emotional health. Again, I agree.

Winter Dreams

This is the time for Winter Dreams. Okay, maybe they are phantasies; but I do think they began as dreams during the night, in the deep recesses of my mind.

Book Tropes In Real Life

Book tropes are many. As also is the trope in film. But how-about in real life? This post was inspired by Sheri Dye's post at Read Betwixt Words.

Cattell, an English/American Psychologist (1905-1998)) devised a theory, a formula, for why individuals do what they do. He was a … Continue reading The Perfect Storm Hypothesis →
