First, might I point out we are talking about mental disorders caused by any past trauma memory rather than a mental illness.

Science tells us we should be focusing on the Cause and not the Effect

The Cause is what happened in the past, in another lifetime to our inner child

The Effect is the mental disorder diagnosis; how the energy of that memory manifests in our lives in the present; in our thinking, feelings, behaviors and habits.

How this program works is quite simple, what happened in the past happened to your inner child, it didnt happen to you.

They were the victim of the event,

You are the survivor

Two completely different aspects of the same person, from two completely different lifetimes, with two different life experiences,

Your younger self can't jump into the future to suffer your life in the present and by the same count, you cant change or undo any of the past, because it's none of your business and more importantly, its humanly impossible to.

With Trauma Recovery Anonymous, we give the details, the baggage and the sympathy pains you carry for your younger self, back to them in a simple 2 hour spiritual and holistic practice, followed by a full introduction to the 12 steps of Trauma Recovery Anonymous as a design for living, for the rest of our days,

This has always been an inside job.

Remove the Cause from our psyche and there is no longer any rhyme or reason to suffer the Effect.

It's a decision we each have to make for ourselves

stop asking and answering the question

"how did/does that make you feel?"

and start asking and answering the right question

"What happened in the past, to your younger self, your inner child, a lifetime ago, that causes/caused you to feel that way?"

Understand, you were never the victim, you are the Survivor!!

I never felt i could meditate, that i wasn't built to sit still and know God. When i was younger i attended candlelight Christian meditation practices and always attempting to be quiet, i would fall into a deep sleep, snore slightly, disrupting the session for the other attendees, with the priest kindly suggesting meditation isn't for me, at least not there.

Over the years i have had mentors and sponsors who have attempted to help me find the promised land, but its always been a stretch too far for me.

When my children were born there was a feeling of an obligation to introduce my children to a concept of God, it was my thinking i wouldn't force it on to them as they grew up but it would mean as they got older they could make a fair decision for themselves.

This let me back to Christian meditation which involved focusing on scripture and this was something i could manage.

I suffered with a racing mind, stinking and faulty feeling and so there was no chance i would ever have a void in my thoughts, so being allowed to fill it with something good and holy worked for me.

Later on, i got talking to a Protestant minister who informed me; being capable of focusing on depression or anxiety for long periods was the work of an expert meditator. The fact that i could focus my mind, heart and feelings on either depression or anxiety for long periods, meant i was an expert at meditation.

He suggested each time i felt the call of the depression or anxiety, i was to focus on all things gratitude/

To simply think of every person, place and thing, all my abilities, education, my senses, my skills, my family, friends, favorite people, my phone, a roof over my head, being alive, to really focus on every little thing to the big things why i am so lucky.

I learned the most common form of meditation is 'TO WORRY'

So, in your darkest hour, as a dog might worry on a bone, you worry on all things, thoughts and feelings.

In no time at all you will find a change in how you feel and think about you and your situation.

Being an expert on meditation, you now know its up to you to decide what you will focus your meditation of thoughts and feelings on

We can be our own worst enemy or best friend...

i am delighted to have on my podcast Patrick Elies.Patrick is a Christian psychologiest and therapist; a voice of hope in the field of addiction, most notably sex addiction and also working with people with mood and mental disorders.

The goal of Trauma Recovery Anonymous is to find spiritual and holistic solutions to heal the hole in one's soul, caused by a past trauma memory. the fastest way to achieve any form of full recovery is to offer the lost, the disenfranchised, theses wounded souls some form of hope.

Patrick carries a lovely message of redemtion and salvation.

We can all start over at any moment in our lives. We are not stuck, even though it mgiht feel that way, we can start over at any time.

In the same way every breath is a renewing of the body, mind and soul, we too can make a simple decision to start over in any moment.

Maybe you can't take that action today, in this moment, but that doesn't mean you can't plan it. decide in 1,3 or 6 months you are going to start over.

Having a plan is a great way of instilling hope in ourselves. Patrick fails to disappoint, and as much as I feel both of my audiences will benefit from this knowledge, training and wisdom; I am certain that this will be a fine resource to share with your own family, friends and community.
