Hello everyone, and new subscribers! As an adjunct to my mental health-related writing projects, I’m building extensive resources on Pinterest. Yes, it’s been awhile since I posted these boards here, but I want to get back into a routine of offering resources as they are completed.

Today I’ve released the new “ACEs” [Adverse Childhood Experiences] board for your perusal. Research is increasingly showing that one or more ACEs in childhood can create lasting negative lifetime effects, including PTSD. ACEs also play a role in how we develop (or not) resiliency as a child.

If you’re on RSS and can’t view the Pinterest widget below, either click through to this blog post, or go directly to the ACEs board on Pinterest.

As an adjunct to my mental health-related writing projects, I’m building extensive resources on Pinterest. I’m currently working on about 75 125(!) “secret” boards, which really just means “not ready for prime time” yet. I’ll release them to public viewing gradually, as I continue to work on the book(s) which they support.

Today I’ve released the new “What PTSD Feels Like” board for your perusal. It has 209 pins that try to capture the essence of what PTSD really feels like. Not everyone experiences it in the same way, but so much of it is universally relatable. You’re not alone in these feelings. And truly, you’re not crazy, even if at times it feels that way.

Today I’ve released the new “Inside Out” board for your perusal. The movie ‘Inside Out’ has been cited many times for its therapeutic value in teaching kids (or anyone) about emotions. This board includes therapy ideas, a 5-part series for teachers, a 2-part post on trauma, coloring pages, and fun things to try!

It’s still early days for a lot of new collated resources for trauma survivors! Let me know if there are particular topics you’d like to see gathered in a Pinterest board. I may have one in the works already, but there’s always room for more!

Just a heads up that starting Saturday, October 10th I’m offering another Goodreads Giveaway wherein you can win one of three signed paperback copies of Becoming One: A Story of Triumph Over Dissociative Identity Disorder! I’ll add the signup widget here then; the Giveaway will run through Saturday, October 24th. You can participate if you live in the US, UK or Canada!

As noted in previous blog posts, I’m building extensive resources on Pinterest in support of my future Q&A book about dissociative identity disorder. Today I’m offering the third DID/C-PTSD board of the collection for you: Boundaries. We all need to work on establishing healthy boundaries, and learning how to align them with our own aspirations and intentions.

If you’re on RSS and can’t view the Pinterest widget below, either click through to this blog post, or go directly to the DID/C-PTSD: Boundaries board on Pinterest.

This is (still!) just the beginning of a lot of new collated resources for trauma survivors! Let me know if there are particular topics you’d like to see gathered in a Pinterest board. I may have one in the works already, but there’s always room for more!

NOTE: All links to DID/C-PTSD boards on Pinterest will be permanently collected in the new DID/C-PTSD on Pinterest page in the header topics above.
