WHO THIS WEBSITE IS FOR:
I am sharing the best information I can find, what you do with it is your responsibility.
Everything I tell you is my opinion from my own observations and perspective.
Please double check everything I tell you, I may be wrong.
-
If you are healing from trauma this website will be a goldmine of information for you.
If you are not yet healing from trauma this website will help you realize hope in healing.
-
If you haven't experienced life altering trauma I am genuinely happy for you. What this website will do for you is help you better understand, connect with, and support your family, friends, and loved ones who have.
-
WHAT YOU'LL FIND HERE:
-
Here you will find what I would describe as a plethora of different Self empowering topics.
These are topics I have found importance in better understanding in my own healing journey.
This website is here to empower you with understanding healing is possible for everyone.
-
Note: If you are scrolling through pages and randomly get the initial pop up message, letting you know this website is for educational, peer support, and empowerment purposes only,
it likely means I am actively working on the website and refreshing it.
-
WHY I'M DOING THIS:
-
My guess is, just about no one dealing with the symptoms of PTSD wants to look them up.
I'm already doing the work, regardless if I build this website and share it or not.
Realizing Presence is the bridge I'm building to fill this gap.
-
I am not a clinician, I don't treat anyone but myself, I can coach but I do not do therapy.
I am sharing what I know exists, and what I understand is possible, in common language.
Consider me telling you about washing and cleaning a physical wound, only it's psychological.
-
In addition to professional care, I have been doing everything I know of to help myself heal since I learned to do so in the Summer of 2021.
It hit me when I realized, the human body is a self healing survival based organism, it heals.
We can heal. It may not me perfect, it may not be pretty, it could even be downright ugly but, we can heal.
-
We do heal when we particpate in our own healing.
We keep surviving emotions we didn't know we could.
-
THE ESSENCE OF WHAT I'M DOING:
-
Here I'm essentially getting to walk you through the first aid aisle of a store,
This for sunburn, that for headache, cold medicine over here, bandages over there...
Physical healing is visible and tangible whereas psychological healing is mostly mysterious.
-
Because it's mostly mysterious it knocks the survival brain into, "Oh shit" mode.
The more we learn, "Oh that's what that is" the less rattled we become and more quickly and efficently we're able to restore higher mind operation through stress.
-
Demystifying the healing of psychological trauma reduces as much uncertainty as possible
Getting extremely good at Deactivating the stress response helps reduce overwhelm
Realizing Presence brings it all together.
-
CONCEPTUALIZING THE WEBSITE:
-
A puzzle is only worth the effort of the builder who puts it together
Here you'll find pieces to a puzzle most never find; do your best with them
It's upto each of us to put in our own work putting our own puzzle of healing together
-
None of it is perfect, this website is a work of art coming together
The beauty thing is, just like all of us, it doesn't have to be perfect to be effective
Nor do the steps we consciously take to recover, heal, and grow. Just taking them is enough.
-
The survival brain urgently wants all of the answers now, just recognize this for yourself.
If you have been in psychological pain, and find this website exciting, I ask that you please pace yourself. Do not try to consume everything at once, just find consistency.
-
Realizing Presence will be for some, it won't be for others, and yet it's here for everyone.
Realizing Presence is a resource for those choosing to heal psychologically healthier.
Realizing Presence contains healing empowerment sources for you to verify for youself.
-
BEYOND THE WEBSITE:
-
Realizing a sense of present moment awareness is what it all comes back to.
Use this website to find and follow leadsources for greater understanding, but
Beyond this website, Self realization in this present moment is what this is all about.
-
EMPOWERING YOU WITH KNOWLEGE:
-
Below are a series of tabs that take you to different topic areas in healing you can explore.
These topic areas are the best lead sources I have found so far.
They are the experts, I am the messenger.
-
I happen to know they all exisit at once and can be considered together, and now you do too.
While I'm trying to include everything, I am sure to miss stuff, as I may not yet know it exists.
If I am missing something, please educate me so I can pass the best information along.
-
Be on the look out for better structure and content to follow, I have a lifetime to go.
The website will get better as I myself heal healthier; this is how it goes.
-
MAKING THE BEST OUT OF EVERY SITUATION:
-
Strengths and weaknesses are a trade-off we all must accept as we learn to give ourselves grace and do our best with them.
-
If anyone versed in any of these topics sees opportunity to collaborate on healing projects, please send me a message via the contact link and I will be happy to schedule a call.
-
No matter what title anyone brings to the table, we all get a first breath and a last breath in life; the difference we make in the world happens in between them.
