My name is Maria and I would like to share
my methods of healing with others who have
or are suffering Post Trauma Stress. In particular,
to those who have suffered any kind of physical
or emotional abuse.
For years I lived a very normal life, not
realizing that my subconscious had blocked
the worst of the abuse that I had received
in my youth. Some triggers in my life about
thirty-five years later caused these memories
to come out of the dark. This resulted into
the worst two years of my life. My methods
of coping at this time caused such a turmoil
in my life and I never wish to go down that
road again.
Today, I have learned better and more reliable
ways to cope with the Post Trauma Stress.
Anytime I feel like I am going back down
the well, I get out my note pad and pen and
write my innermost feelings down and I have
also begun to write poems as another outlet
to express my feelings. My stories and poems
may not be grammatically correct, but at
this time the healing is the more important
factor. Another coping method that helps
me, is to meditate. I find a quiet spot and
just focus on one thing that is good in my
life and dump the rest of the garbage out
of my mind.
I hope my methods will help others like myself.
I would like to dedicate these pages to my
God sent friends whom are my mentors and
Angels that have helped me climb out of my
geto and continue to stay by my side.
