Convenience - Seminar Day One


Leaves fall from trees.
We think nothing of it.

Needles turn brown and droop.
We think nothing of it.

Spring, summer and fall
landscape grows and changes

Wind and weather
wearing and eroding

When not beautiful and calm,
it is not convenient

               ***

Day one ~ seminar on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Carbohydrate overload at breaks

Power point slides
Quiet attentiveness (and a few yawns)
Out for a walk at lunch

Book purchases:
The Realm of the Hungry Ghosts ~ Gabor Mate
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Workbook for Personality Disorders ~ Jeffery C. Wood

Listening for pieces of knowledge,
learning terms changed over decades of research
Biological changes in the brain from

Shell Shock
Post War Syndrome
Post Traumatic Syndrome Disorder

Single trauma staining life
Repetitive traumas carving scars into life

Nightmares
Emotional distortions

Another seminar day tomorrow.
Different thoughts about convenience.

“There is no reason that the universe 
should be designed for our convenience.”
~ John D. Barrow
