Welcome to Realizing Presence, my name is Andy Lightfoot, and I have created this website as a mental health peer support landing page. I'm healing from Complex PTSD, from various life traumas up to and including forensically processing crime scenes, to give you some perspective as to where I speak from. I’m doing the healing work to feel better, and I've created this website / Realizing Presence, LLC. as a place to centralize the best lead source information in healing I can find, for anyone who happens to be looking for it, as I once was.
This website is not a substitute for professional medical or mental health care. If you feel like professional medical and/or mental healthcare can help you, please go get it; and share this website with them.
Countless people in the world are facing mental health challenges, overwhelmed at where to even begin unraveling the confusion. On top of overwhelm and confusion, there's the fear of ridicule and tribal rejection for being perceived as weak for dealing with mental struggles in the first place, which causes people to avoid looking into it. Realizing Presence is a labor of love, here to bridge this gap.
Realizing Presence, LLC is aimed at providing top quality information that promotes personal growth and greater understanding of peer support, healing through the traumas of life, and Self Realization; all from a place where anyone can access streamlined information without having to search in circles on the internet, or speak out loud until they feel like they are ready to do so. We are all responsible for building ourselves stronger and healthier, individually and together.
If you have been dealing with mental health issues, once you realize what it is you’re dealing with, you may find it freeing and refreshing to unapologetically speak about them with others. You may even grow to clearly see those who ridicule others about mental health as frightened and weak, from a totally shifted perspective of your own empowerment, but it's important you learn to do so with a great sense of compassion. Heal healthier and learn to give yourself and others grace.
Regardless of whether you can afford world-class care or if you're living homeless accessing the internet from the alley behind a local donut shop, we are all human beings, and we are all deserving of feeling better. We are all particles of God's light, and the world becomes a better place when we each feel a little better in it.
We live in an age abundant with information from quality sources. The challenge is knowing the difference between quality lead sources and click-bait. Realizing Presence is designed to take the guess work out of searching for valuable trauma healing resources. Realizing Presence is by no means complete, it is however a good start in aiding recovery through mental health struggles including PTSD and promoting healing, no matter what our current circumstances happen to be.
Let this website serve as a guide for greater understanding that you can utilize in your own healing process if you choose. The insights you gain from the resources here may seem magical, but healing requires consistent effort from you to see results for yourself. Ultimately, you are the one doing the work for yourself in your life.
Use what resonates with you and leave what doesn't, there’s nothing personal about it. Professionals can help us get the healing wheel rolling, but it’s up to us to maintain the momentum. If you feel that professional care can benefit you, go get it. Give yourself permission to heal better and feel better.
