Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; The storm after the storm.
Targeted
We proceeded to my office for our session, and she immediately noticed the new art on my wall. Over the years, I've created numerous abstract pieces of trauma art that represent the work I do with my clients, and I like to hang them on my walls for inspiration.

She Grew Anyway - part 1
This story started in 1985 in a village in India where suicides were common in those days. Young men and women, facing challenges and difficulties in life used to die by consuming pesticides which are used to protect fields from pests. This story also shows how untreated generational trauma affects lives of children in those families for decades together and even to till date. This is the story of a girl baby who lost her mother to suicide when she was only a year old and left by her dad. The story of survival, rejection, resilience and a divine protection. The girl's name is Priscilla and her mother's name is Shushan

Born At 28. Content Warning.
Never in my life had I imagined a day where I could wake up, stretching my arms to the sky as the goose bumps danced along my skin....without that feeling. That deep rooted anguish that floods in after that painfully short second of nothingness. That second when you wake up and for a moment you are unaware of the pain. A second of mercy before reality sets in, overpowered by that pit in your stomach and that growing hole in your chest.

I have come a long way in my healing journey, but I want to share with you that I still have bad days in the middle of the good ones.

Psychology of Fight or Flight. Content Warning.
I was getting ready to record a paranormal podcast. Upon speaking with my spirit friends, I found this and decided to re-write and edit this prose story. We spoke about the bullies in DC and everywhere. We agreed this should be re-written, created, and published. 2025, a year of bullies, hate, greed, craziness, destruction, and genocide. Other than that, I am eating lollipops and singing in the rain in Southern California.

Is AI Your Secret Weapon for Mental Peace? 5 Apps to Save Your Mind
Mental health isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a journey we’re all navigating, sometimes in silence. I remember a rainy evening stuck in traffic with my wife, the kind where the world feels heavy and words don’t come easy. A random memory of a road trip—us laughing over a torn map under a flickering flashlight—broke the silence and reminded us who we were. That moment was a lifeline, but what if you could have a lifeline in your pocket every day? Enter AI: not just for sci-fi movies or chatbots, but for real, tangible mental health support. These tools aren’t here to replace therapists; they’re like quiet companions, helping you process emotions, track moods, or just feel less alone.

Boss Fight Strategies for Panic Attacks
Panic attacks are the ultimate rogue boss of mental health—they ambush you when you least expect it, hit like a truck, and leave you wondering "What the hell just happened?" But unlike video game bosses, you can’t just rage-quit and reload. (Though if you could, we’d all have a save file from before the attack started.)

10 Shocking Psychological Studies That Crossed Every Line
Introduction : Psychology is meant to heal, to help us understand the mind, and to bring light to the darkest corners of human behavior. But sometimes, it does the exact opposite. Throughout history, some psychological experiments have gone so far off the ethical rails, they became nightmares in the name of science. These studies didn’t just push boundaries — they obliterated them. Some left emotional scars, others cost lives, but all of them left one question hanging in the air: how far is too far?
