Episode 31: I Can’t See the Pain Inside You
In episode 31, “I Can’t See the Pain Inside You”, my intention is to raise your awareness surrounding Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Listening, you will hear me read from one of the chapters in my book allowing for time and space in the realm of mental health. Noted clearly throughout, trauma can do a doozy on our minds and souls. Of course, no one else can truly “see” what is going on inside each of us.

Healing a Shattered Soul – My Faithful Journey of Courageous Kindness After the Trauma and Grief of Domestic Terrorism is my memoir.
When the unimaginable occurs we can keep our mouths shut or find our voice. Tormented by sorrow and anguish after losing two family members to domestic terrorism I placed trust in God and listened for guidance. Healing a Shattered Soul is a reflection of my personal journey receiving and offering courageous kindness, a guide to those grieving and in need of inspiration and a tribute to the perpetual love of my father and son. It also provides insight into the psychological changes that can occur after traumatic experiences.

Allow me to bring to your attention that May is Mental Awareness Month. Consider what you don’t know about a family member or friend who suffered trauma. Give them grace, time and a hand to hold as they work through the tangle of emotional spaghetti. I didn’t know my younger brother, Tony, suffered from PTSD until two years after the tragedy that stole our father and my son, his nephew. Tony’s podcast episode with me is a vulnerable conversation about his personal path through trauma and healing.
I learned from FrontEdge Publishing that books have a birthdate. My book’s birthdate is May 3, 2021. Pastor Adam Hamilton, senior pastor at The Church of the Resurrection is helping me commemorate the release of Healing a Shattered Soul with a virtually live conversation. It would be great to have you join us.
Thank you for joining me on my journey of courageous kindness.
Together we are better!
