A blog for trauma survivors and the professionals who help us. September 30, 2009. Swimming Through the Memories. Sorry for my delay in posting this week; it's amazing what having a close friend in the hospital with a heart attack does to one's schedule.

A blog for trauma survivors and the professionals who help us. September 3, 2009. Obesity as a "Shield" Against Childhood Trauma? Report from the blog PsychCentral talks about something that, on the face of it, would seem to be common sense - a link between childhood physical and/or sexual abuse and obesity. In addition to the overeating that leads to obesity, the article also discusses possible links between early abuse and the development of other eating disorders. Plan on checking into them further.

http://talkingabouttrauma.blogspot.com/2011/03/long-time-no-post-hello-again.html
A blog for trauma survivors and the professionals who help us. March 24, 2011. Long time, no post - Hello Again! It's been more than two years since my last post on this blog. So much has happened.

I'm a thriving survivor, now, and I want to start having discussions about the ways that anyone can improve their relationships with themselves and others. Please feel f...
