I am honored to introduce my newly published book, which aims to help people understand the normal impacts of intense or ongoing stress. The book uses metaphor to help understand our complex brains, and to have some distance while considering some potentially emotional and challenging topics. The word "trauma" has become so widely used, that some may not understand all that it implies. By focusing more on what's happening in the brain, hopefully we will pass less judgment on others and...

You've touched on a very important topic - sexuality and sexual health - when it comes to various traumas including developmental and sexual traumas.

Thank you. I find that sexuality is largely ignored in many clinical settings. Highlighting the importance of this was one of my main priorities in writing the book.

Hi folks, quite honored with this - Song of the Week - Walk With Me by Michael Skinner - Mad In America "I had a life as a husband, father, professional musician and owner of a successful music company. The childhood trauma I experienced came back to knock me down with complex PTSD and depression. The mistreatment and over-medication was the catalyst for me to write this song." https://www.madinamerica.com/2023/09/walk-with-me-michael-skinner/ Lyrics are also shared. Mad in America hosts...

Those meds can do a number on the mind, body & spirit. & not making folks aware of the side effects is so damn wrong.

I share your concern, Michael: Two weeks into my 'In-Hospital recovery' [from open=heart surgery], I reportedly had a 'PTSD Reaction' and was prescribed 'low dose Mellaril', in July 1991; regretably our US FDA had not listed a 'side-effect' that the Canadian 'equivalent agency had listed {"Prolongs the Qt heart rhythm"). I ended up going by ambulance from the 'teaching hospital' to 'Saint Elsewhere' to have my heart rate re-set.
