Realizing Presence

Resources (so far)

Hi, my name is Andy Lightfoot and I have been actively healing from psychological trauma since 2021, I take recovery, healing, and positive personal growth seriously, and I'm building this website as a resource for anyone healing from trauma to use. 


This is not a website for medical advice, I'm not a doctor or therapist, I am a patient who is healing and creating a place to compile the things I have found most useful and pertinent in my own recovery so far. I do not have all of my shit together, but I am doing my best to heal. I'm writing from my own experiences, and providing resources for people who have most accurate described my experiences back to me.


Demystifying the experience of psychological trauma has a domino effect in recovery. By default when we demystify something, it takes the power of mystery away from it. When we've taken the power of mystery away from it we're able to gain a greater sense of certainty. When we gain a greater sense of.certainty we are thereby reducing uncertainty. By the genetic roots of our ancestors, uncertainty was registered as threat to life, as stepping outside of the cave to hunt was a life or death experience. At some point, our human population would have been outnumbered by apex predators in the wild, and the feeling of uncertainty ran through these peoples' systems to keep them alive and impulsively drive their physical bodies back into safety. 


This is the same wiring we have in us that evolution has built upon. We have higher mind access, but we also have a lower level override system that defaults to better safe than sorry and has at its disposal, emotions. Biochemical charges of emotion sent out into the blood stream to float past the nerve ends of our electrically charged nervous system, provoking involuntary movements of the body to move us into safety and let the higher mind sort it out after the danger has passed. 


I always found it relieving, constructive, and helpful to hear someone else's healing story so I could take their lessons and apply them to my own healing. Anything I can provide is not medical or mental health advice, it's peer support. I am healing and doing my best to live a good life. Going to the grocery store is a major event for me anymore. I have a case of Complex PTSD that I am unable to hide, and so I radically accept it. Of course my ego didn't want to, but I was too tired to continue being who I am not, and I accept myself for who I am. 


I am healing from trauma, and using my pain for the best purpose I can find for it in my life, and this is articulating everything I can about psychological trauma, the pain I realize my body feels from it, and what I do to recover my body-brain-mind system from flashback. I am not promoting or endorsing anything, If someday I find something worthy of endorsing I would consider it, however the question becomes, who am I to endorse anything?  I am not, I am simply another human being healing from trauma, helping my fellow human beings do the same, if they so choose. 


I appreciate coaching, and as I have come to understand it, am temperamentally wired to be the best number 2 guy around, but not the leader, and this makes sense to me. I feel this statement is very much inline with who I am. I will however not be compromised by another., as I serve God in my mission.  I'm sorry to anyone I have hurt, and hope to make amends someday with everyone, as we are all children of God in our own right. I forgive those who have hurt me, as we are all children of God and ultimately as conscious energies, that are fragments of one greater conscious energy that has no beginning and no end, the Alpha and the Omega.


I have gotten very side tracked in my life and serving myself. I have been a sometimes abusive asshole to people I love and I wish I hadn't have been. I wish that instead of lashing out from my ego, I've had shown them unconditional love. However, in order to show anyone unconditional love, I had to learn to unconditionally love myself first. We can only lead others to the places we've come ourselves. 


Most of my life I was ashamed of myself for being different than most people, confused believing I was like everyone else, only with something wrong with me. As it tuns out I have the survival based trait clinically known as Sensory Processing Sensitivity, which means that if I were a goose in a pack of geese, I would be one of the 15-20% of geese who seemed to be on constant look out for danger while the rest of the flock fed on bugs and picked over the ground for food. Of course I would still get to eat after the rest of the flock was full because I am wired to see the food others do not, and l still eat well;. 


This trait was formally identified in 1991, by Research Psytchologist, Dr. Elaine Aron, PhD, coined HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) and formally named Sensory Processing Sensitivity, its the human name for the lookout geese. Considering natures balance of 80-80% / 15-20% in humanity we can see this as the warrior caretaker balance in nature, recognizing both are needed for survival of the other.  


If you want to see caretakers in action in our modern society look in a hospital setting. You have a mix of caregivers, some bedside nurse temperament and tempo, and ER personnel / medics.. They both groups care deeply about their patients, but one of them is calm natured and docile while the other one is a five star lunatic, especially flight medics. Flight medics epitomize the wildest of the bunch with a caretaking core. Of course there are several other expressions of it, but sharing it in the comparison of a flight medic to a bedside nurse paints a pretty clear picture of the contast in caregivers. The bedside nurses would be referred to as HSP's and the flight medics would be referred to as High Sensation Seeking / Novelty Seeking HSP's, (HSS/HSP) however its all Sensory Processing Sensitivity. 


I fall into the latter category of Sensory Processing Sensitivity, where I crave and chase stimulation and novelty despite my need to recharge from overstimulation. The high sensation seeking side of me often overtakes the highly sensitive side, and adventure wins. Creating this website is novel adventure to me, I have the ability to articulate thought, so I am directing it into the heart of trauma,  in order to get to use my pain to help other people recover from theirs, and in that I get to recover as well. 

 

Use this website to gain some of the benefits of Sensory Processing Sensitivity without having to go though life feeling like a nervous wreck making a bowl of oatmeal in the morning; don't worry, I've go that one covered.  I don't know what the website will turn into, all I know is I'm grateful to be turning it into something, hopefully special. 


I'm not a mental health or medical health professional

I'm not a mental health professional, in fact I'm not a professional at all. I'm not totally unprofessional but I'm certainly not a professional. Nothing on here should be misconstrued as medical advice, it's not. It's peer support and knowing you can heal. 


I'm writing about the healing process I've experienced, to help demystify as much about treatment as I know how to. I want you to feel confident approaching and dealing with mental healthcare professionals. While this website may provide helpful resources, it's no substitute for competent mental healthcare.  I rely on competent professional mental healthcare and I created this website.


I'm gonna get on my soapbox and talk about something here;

We have a mental health crisis we're facing in our world,  there are far more people suffering silently than there are people to help them find a sense of relief from suffering. 


Healing takes time, rote repetition, and faith in knowing we can heal

The psychological damage of trauma happens automatically, however we must heal it manually.

This can seem like an overwhelming amount of information to consider at once, and it is, which is the reason I've created a website for you to navigate at your own pace. 


I'm going to show you the possibilities I see in self healing in addition to all else. I'm here to guide you to teachers who I'm learning from, and share my own experiences for you to use and grow on. There are lots of resources here, and you'll get the most from them by taking your time to learn from these people, as a tempering process of realization for your mind. 


This information may resonate with you and you feel a provoked sense of excitement to jump in and absorb it all at once, don't. Take your time with it. Consistency accumulated, this is what makes the biggest difference in healing..


Familiarize yourself with any information you find useful here through steady absorption. Consistency accumulated. You can intellectualize healing information and / or you can realize the essence of an understanding. The latter takes a calming of the mind, which takes a calming of the system, and the education is designed to prevent the mind from experiencing fear of the unfamiliar and producing survival based charges of uncertainty. 


When we experience survival based charges of uncertainty it shuts down working access between our survival brain and the higher functioning parts of our brain / mind. 


Our main objective is restoring working access between our survival brain and higher mind as quickly and efficiently as possible when stress charges have deactivated this connection to preserve energy for survival. 


I describe the higher mind were regaining access to like this; 


Have you ever been in an argument with someone, and sometime later after the argument was over you thought, "I wish I'd have said. (fill in the blank)." This is your higher mind  (prefrontal cortex region of the brain) coming back online. Regardless of what our life scenario is, we're working to develop our ability to restore access with this part of our brain / mind. This is muscle memory of the mind. 


Thought checking for validity and restoring access to the higher functioning parts of the mind happen through a combination of breathing, muscle relaxation, and thought maintenance, and this accounts  for the operation of the brain, body, mind. Considering all three in dynamic combination of one another. 


Consider the fact our breathing pattern physiologically changes when we're experiencing stress course our system vs when we're operating in a state of objective higher mind control / relaxation / recuperation / vacation., we're taking manual control of it. Note the area of our diaphragm, where our rib cage meets above our stomach and below our chest. This is the half way point of our breathing, and our in and out breath has a focus point of concentration of either higher toward the upper chest, or lower toward the belly when we're breathing. 


When we're feeling stressed the breathing point is above the diaphragm in the upper chest, breathing is usually fast, rapid, shallow, stuck, stalled, paused, held, braced for impact. When we're feeling relaxed the breathing point is below the diaphragm, in the belly. Relaxed, slow, and mostly forgotten about. 


Before we think about the actual breathing of air by the lungs, it helps to consider the muscles surrounding the lungs. Are they more stiff, rigid, and locked up with emotions, or are they relaxed, free flowing, and carefree? If our muscles are tensed up, the lungs are not bellowing air in and out of our body in a way conducive to operating our higher mind, so the first step to resetting our system is breathing in a way that re-oxygenates the parts of the brain we want access to. An easy  way to remember this is, lower lungs higher brain / higher lungs lower brain. I don't know the science behind this, but when I do I'll update the website with it, however this is what I have experienced myself. 


We're utilizing muscle memory to practice deliberately breathing in a way that the body associates with higher mind access. This feels totally unnatural when we're stressed, and remembering to remember to do it, and doing it is what we're doing. We're using our higher mind to teach our lower brain and body how to restore higher mind access. Don't make it any more complicated than this. Keep it simple, practice this, and realize it for yourself. 


I'm creating this website to teach presence, help you learn to stabilize your system, recover your higher mind of awareness and objective decision making from stress charges that knock it offline, I promote healing, and want you to realize yourSelf as a standalone entity to any trauma remembered, and regain a sense o stability and cognitive wherewithal. 


Recovery may include lots of ugly crying through excruciating waves of pain, it may not be pretty at all, but it's recovering. And once we learn to recover, we begin to not only recover stronger, the mind wakes up and the challenges we're recovering from also diminish in intensity, meaning they're easier to deal with. The challenges still suck, nothing about experiencing psychological trauma is fun.  


I don't have everything in my life together, I struggle terribly sometime, and I'm recovering. This website is about recovering, as something we can all do, no matter what state it is we're recovering from, and where we're recovering to. Recovery is something we have, and we can do our own personal best with it. 


Go through the sections, discover what works for you, understand I am only your tour guide. Something in here may click with you and you begin healing far better than I ever have. That's wonderful, there is no competition, only cooperation. We all have to do our own healing work, whether it's self healing or guided by professionals, and even the healing guided by professionals is ultimately self healing. Remember we all have to do our own pushups.

Intensive Outpatient PTSD treatment / Positive Personal Growth

I went through Intensive OutPatient  (IOP) PTSD treatment in 2021 in conjunction with a personality development course, The basis of IOP was Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and the basis of the positive personality development course was developing what are known as Archetypes of The Collective Unconscious, as discovered by the Swiss Psychiatrist, Dr. C.G. Jung. 


Cognitive Processing Therapy: I learned to process trauma by hand writing about it, Which forced the higher part of my brain (the prefrontal cortex) back online in restored access. in order to write about traumatic events in a coherent way. 


Archetypal Development: Dr. C.G. Jung, discovered a set of consistent neurological impulses in the psyche of all people as a basis for being, and these sets of criteria are the same for someone living their entire life as a member of a tribe in the jungle,  or if they live in the penthouse suite of a sky scraper in a big city. There are certain natural impulses we all come innately wired with, in order to designate ourselves as being human beings, rather than primates. 

Conceptualizing Anxiety

Anxiety happens in the mind projected future, however the biochemicals that drive it always course through our system in the present moment. The mind goes time split with every charge of emotion strong enough to send it locked into thought loops about the future. Our survival based system default to better safe than sorry, which is what has allowed us to survive as long as we have. 


The mind imagines the future dressed up in the worst imagined survivable scenario possible, as though it were currently happening, and this runs the biochemical charges that impulsively provoke us into physical safety, The mind runs informational imaginations that are accompanied by emotion that seem so real the body automatically reacts to the imagined future scenario as though it were presently occurring. Make no mistake of it, the physiological symptoms that happen in us come from the same emotional charges that would occur if we were actually experiencing the event, and not merely imagining it, and the mind can become lost in it. 


If we're unaware this is happening it's highly unlikely we'll be able to recover from it before our system runs away into exhaustion from it. If however, we're able to demystify and recognize what's happening in us, we have a greater chance of more proactively recovering access with our higher mind when stress charges have taken it off like into a sleepwalking day dream like state of worry about the future. 


Thought checking for validity. Are your thoughts taking place in the future or past of this present moment? Pinch yourself aware and ask where are you physically at vs where are  your thoughts taking place?  


What scenario did your mind get stuck re-imagining, "yeah but just what if" scenarios about?  Release the felt need to personalize this, it's a survival system that got stuck on, however if we're unaware of what's occurring we can become psychologically stunned and perceptually lost in it. This has happened to me lots of times. 


Regaining present moment awareness of ourselves in this present moment is the experience we're working to restore. If you've been experiencing episodes of anxiety, your mind had been running into and self identifying within the bounds of an imagined worst case scenario, in order to produce survival based charges in our system to prepare us to survive whatever the mind happens to be imagining, in order to physically survive it, because anything less the worst case scenario we imagine and preemptively prepare ourselves for with biochemical charges of emotion would be survivable. 


With anxiety, this system simply keeps getting stuck on, and the more we practice unsticking it and regaining a sense of present moment awareness, the better we get at recovering from it the next time our mind gets swept imagining itself in the future. 

Conceptualizing Depression

Depression feels like a dwelling state of prolonged and hopeless despair in the mind, and little to nothing happening elsewhere. Like the rest of us were already dead, while we're still very much alive and well, just feeling depressed. 


Wishing the past had been different than it was, the mind subconsciously places meaning on the pain and thinks into the looping story of the past the mind gets magnetically stuck in. Reproducing charges of emotion that verify the feeling that we were feeling bad, and dwelling on the fact that we're feeling on the fact we were feeling bad in the first place. 


Again, regaining a sense of present moment awareness is key. Depression happens with the mind dwelling in the past with charges strong and persistent enough to disorient the mind into forgetting it is operating in this present moment. 


What I'm building

I'm building this website as peer support

I have been actively healing from psychological trauma since 2021, I take recovery, healing, and positive personal growth seriously, and this is what this website is about. 


My goal is to talk about as many psychological pain points people seem to get stuck on, so there's a better chance you get something useful out of this website., from my own perspective and experience. I'm addressing the pressures of tribal expectation and social conformity, and the survival based system inside of us that runs stress charges through the body and sweeps the higher operation of the mind offline. 


This stuff is not easy to deal with, however we also do not have to be afraid of it any longer. 

When I worked in law enforcement I was terrified of talking to a therapist about the things I was dealing with in my inner world, because of the fear of being seen as "Unfit for duty", which meant the possible loss of my career and tribal rejection from the members of the department for being seen as weak, and therefore worthless to the tribe. 


Addressing both of these, the fear of loss of my job provoked the fear of death by famine, and the fear of rejection by the department provoked the fear of death by tribal rejection. By default of our hunter gatherer tribal ancestors having to physically survive these circumstances, these patterns of provoking emotion are epigenetically hardwired in our DNA. Epigenetics is the science that studies the physical changes that (stress) hormones make to our DNA, and how traumatized genes (essentially) are passed on from mother to child in the womb.


By demystifying as much as possible about trauma and the effects it has on us, we're able to remove an element of mystery out of the equation, and once the element of mystery is taken away, we're able to establish a steadier more certain base to recover ourselves from. Our system stops producing so many of the stress charges of uncertainty that had been reverting our minds operation back to the safety of the lower, survival responsive based parts of our brain's operation. 


The stressed brain / mind craves familiarity, even if the familiarity is ultimately painful and bad for us. By default in order for something to be familiar it has to have already been survived, making it survivable to the stress responsive part of our brain / mind,. Familiar patterns to safely default to is what this lower level of our operation ultimately uses, and it makes no difference if these patterns are logical / illogical, good for us or bad for us, familiar is what this part of our operation defaults to..  


I have a survival based temperament trait called Sensory Processing Sensitivity, which is a double edged sword in itself, with one side being useful in processing lots of information at once and passing it along in a comprehensive and useful way that benefits the overall tribe. On the other side I can feel like a nervous wreck, making a bowl of oatmeal in the morning. 


I am acutely aware of and highly sensitive to subtleties in my environment, and while I can produce works, such as this website, the book I'm writing, and the recordings I'm doing, I need time, space, and solitude to recharge so I can create more. Without this time, space, and solitude for recharge the work I create becomes nothing more than production. Both are important, as production is important in the world of commerce, creation yields the greatest impact on the world. 


The resources I'm providing here are leads to learn more about the constructs, great works, and people who have created great works in recovering from trauma, Self realization, and attaining our own personal best. This is by no means a complete list, It probably doesn't even scratch the surface of the healing possibilities in the world, but it's a start.

 

I'm not a mental health or medical health professional

I'm not a mental health professional, in fact I'm not a professional in any regard. I'm just someone who has lived through this stuff, and I'm no longer afraid to talk about it. I'm not necessarily unprofessional but I'm certainly not a professional. Nothing on here should be misconstrued as medical advice, it's not. It's peer support, education, and self empowerment, nothing more. 


I'm writing about the healing process I've experienced and am still experiencing, to help demystify as much about the mysteries of the human mind from my own amateur / peer to peer perspective. I want you to feel confident approaching and dealing with mental healthcare professionals, no matter how much education they've had or how little education you've had on the subject. These people are here to help you, some are good, some are not, just like the service at any restaurant, people are people. 


Every professional you see is dealing with their own life circumstances, and chances are on some level they got in to mental health care to figure out what was happening inside of themselves so they could fix it and feel better. Allow yourself to overcome any fear of the unknown, and don't be afraid of mental health professionals, they mean well, and what I want you to be able to do with the knowledge you gain here is be able to spot the people who have done their own inner work. I don't care what degrees someone has, if they know what they're talking about, they know what they're talking about. If they don't, they don't and it's that simple. 


The mental healthcare professionals who know what they're talking about and have done their own inner work will become obvious to you when you learn what to look for.. You want a therapist who has been therapized themselves. People are people and none of us are perfect, none of us has all of our shit together, and we're all traversing the earth in physical form at the same time. No matter what any professional does or say, we are the ones doing the work to heal ourselves, even if that work means driving to their office. We are the ones ultimately responsible for our own recovery, healing, and growth. 


This website may provide helpful resources, let yourself be empowered by it, however understand it's no substitute for competent mental healthcare, this is a resource page, and it's crucial we have another human being(s) to talk with. Do not try to do everything on your own, stuck in your own head. At a bare minimum, share this website with others and talk about the contents of it. 


I rely on competent professional mental healthcare, I take prescription medicines for my mental health, I will probably need to for the rest of my life, I'm okay with it, and I created this website.

Recovering From Trauma

If you have PTSD, it's not a matter of if your mind goes to a dark place, it's a matter of when, how intensely, and for how long. And it's also a matter of recovering conscious control of our mind when it goes there, and rescuing it.

If you have PTSD, it's not a matter of if your mind goes to a dark place, it's a matter of when, how intensely, and for how long. And it's also a matter of recovering conscious control of our mind when it goes there, and rescuing it. 


We must rescue our own mind in this scenario, and we can do it. It very much helps to have others around who know what's going on and understand how to help you recover out of flashback, but ultimately its you doing the work of regaining higher mind operation and awareness after stress charges shut them off.


 Sometimes our perceptive awareness gets stuck, psychologically stumbling around in emotionally charged memories that feel so real, we lose track of the fact they are memories in the first place. 


Trauma produces the feeling of shame, however the paradox is, there is no shame in trauma. This doesn't prevent the biological feelings produced to knock our perceptive awareness into unconscious survival based operation. 


I've dealt with, recovered from, and will always be recovering from lots of psychological trauma from processing crime scenes. However, no matter how extreme the examples I can provide, the system we're dealing with is the same. 


Lots of people deal with psychological trauma to some degree, but most are afraid of ever talking about it, due to the fear of death by tribal rejection for being perceived as weak. 


Recovering from trauma comes with a profound realization that no matter what, nothing in our minds can kill us, it only feels like it can. 


Once we're able to demystify some of the happenings in the mind, we're able to transcend through the mind, observe it, and heal from the turmoil it's created. . 


What we can do is break our perceptive awareness out of places it had been stuck in, even if it had been stuck there so long it became familiar and somehow uncomfortably comfortable.

The toughest question I've ever been asked was in Intensive OutPatient PTSD treatment, and the question was, "Who am I?" without any titles, accomplishments, stories, etc, who am I? 


This question got the wheels turning, but I was unable to answer it until well after therapy, however in order to answer the question, "Who am I?" I had to first answer the question, "What am I?" 


The answer came to me after diving into  lessons about quantum physics geared for the layman, Realizing the essence of Albert Einstein's famous equation E=Mc2. 


The calculation E=Mc2 takes much more into consideration than I know how to calculate, but it takes into consideration the physical makeup of our smallest physical building blocks, atoms. Inspecting them from the subatomic level. 


Atoms are too small to be seen with the naked eye, however we were able to make one large enough to inspect and we were able to freeze time, we would see they are made of almost nothing, as our physical senses perceive physical matter. 


Atoms, are physically made of tiny bits of energy known as protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons are positively charged, neutron are neutrally charged and act as the glue that holds the protons in a bundle, creating the positively charged nucleas of the atom, and electrons are negatively charged bits of energy that orbit the nucleus.


Okay, now that 11th grade science is passed, what does any of this mean, and how does it apply to me in my everyday life?


 If what we perceive as physical matter is not actually physical at all, then what is it, and who am I realizing and observing it all?


This comes down to a realization of ourselves in operation of it all. The mind derives a sense of self identity somewhere, and the easiest place to find something to grasp onto the what we perceive in our physical world, including the bodies of ourselves, the cars we drive, the house we live in, how much money we have, etc. the possibilities are endless, and ultimately all empty. 


We've never actually experienced the past or the future, it seems like we have, but it was all the mind working from the starting location of the present moment. 


We are none of these things in the physical world, and can never be, however that does not prevent the mind from reaching for them as an answer, even a temporary answer,  until it can figure out a more clear and definitive answer of where to derive a sense of self identify from. 


We are not our trauma, we are not our story, and we are not who we were yesterday. We all have a past, and stories from it, but we are present, and we are not the future. We can direct our present moment actions to align with what and who we would like to be in the future, but once we get there it will be this same present moment we experience it from.  


Our universe is made of energy and matter, we are in space and time in it, we have an inner world and an outer world.  Our only job is realizing this.

Attaining our own personal best

Attaining our own personal best

Knowing all of this, we can consciously direct the orchestration of physical matter in our outer world to align with what we consciously realize within. 


This all comes from an understanding, and will power shuts it down, with the essence of collapsing the wave into particle.

Knowing all of this, we can consciously direct the orchestration of physical matter in our outer world to align with what we consciously realize within. 


This all comes from an understanding, and will power shuts it down, with the essence of collapsing the wave into particle. 


Our own personal best is something we can all attain, and when we do we merely take the actions we know can produce it, trust ourselves, and experience it happen.. 


What we can do is create the circumstances that make it possible and more probable that our personal best happens, and  show up ready and willing to participate in it. 


Once we can see something inside we can do it outside. 


The mind likes to sharply reject this, and it's important to understand that the organism producing this thought stream is the same organ that produces the thought stream of, "I've gotta see it to believe it" all while remaining unaware that humans can see less than half of one percent of the electromagnetic spectrum, .about 0035% according to science. 


There's so much more going on than our senses can perceive, and we can move beyond out senses to work with it. All outer change begins from within. 


If we're performing a task, it's important to observe ourselves in action of it, not just physically, but psychologically and emotionally. 


Does the idea of someone else's approval and praise come to mind while we're working? if so, this is production at best, and not creativity. 


Creativity happens from within and where our personal best comes from. There is no comparison between you and anyone else who has ever lived. 


Realize the minds natural compulsion to place ourselves in comparison with anyone else as tribal based thinking. When we realize yourself as a stand alone entity to all else, and focus on each action you're taking in the expression of whatever you choose to do with this power you possess.
