Empathy is the ability and quality that allows humans to feel and understand what others are experiencing. It literally means “with [em-] suffering [-pathos]” as in suffering along with someone else. Empathy is not just emotionally suffering; it is also cognitively understanding what another person is going through; walking in their shoes, per se. [...]
The U.S. Marine Corps has stepped up the fight against P.T.S.D. and traumatic brain injury.

They can make you smile or laugh, you can look back on a memory and learn something new about yourself or someone else, sometimes they can make you cry. Though memories are not always happy, you can always learn something new. Often we wish we could relive certain memories everyday and enjoy them or sometimes we wish we could go back and

researchers have identified the brain mechanism that switches off traumatic feelings associated with bad memories, a finding that could lead to the development of drugs to treat panic disorders.
Scientists from UCI and the University of Muenster in Germany found that a small brain protein called neuropeptide S is involved in erasing traumatic responses to adverse memories by working

There are 3 types of clients who find Traumatic Incident Reduction, or TIR,
particularly beneficial:
• Clients who have experienced a traumatic event they feel adversely affected
them
• Clients who react inappropriately or overreact to certain situations and their
reaction could be connected to their past traumatic experience
• Clients who experience uncomfortable negative emotions in response to certain
triggers.
If you have clients who fall into any of these categories, then Traumatic
Incident Reduction therapy may be a good option for them.
Join me next week as we take a look at Thought Field Therapy.

We’ve taken a look at what Traumatic Incident Reduction, or TIR, is. Now
let’s take a look at how you can put it to work for your clients.
A TIR session begins with clients thinking of a specific past trauma they
want to move beyond. Clients treat the past trauma like a movie, and play it in
their heads from start to finish without talking about the incident.
After clients have “viewed” the movie of the past traumatic incident, they
describe what happened in it and their reactions to viewing it.
Then, clients “rewind” the movie and replay it.
After replaying the movie several times, clients will experience an emotional
peak. As they continue to replay the movie, their negative emotions will
eventually lessen. They continue to replay the movie until they no longer have

Traumatic Incident Reduction, or TIR, is a client-driven treatment method for
successfully eliminating the negative effects of a client’s past traumas.
What’s great about TIR is it’s brief, it’s simple, it’s successful, and the
clients do all the work on their own!
During a TIR session, you provide your client with no interpretation or
feedback – you only give your client step-by-step instructions. You offer no
advice, evaluation or reassurance.
Using the simple steps of Traumatic Incident Reduction, you allow your client
to permanently eliminate the negative emotions tied into a past traumatic
experience.
Join me this week as I take you through the steps of a TIR session and show
you how you can put it to use for your clients.

Possible!

Former FAMU law Professor Dale Rubin has started a blog, and his first post does not put FAMU in a good light. "I have never had a more traumatic and disheartening experience," he writes, referring to his time as a visiting professor at FAMU in 2004-2005. He cites late paychecks, phantom employees and "whimsical decrees by top administration officials."
Rubin's post may be significant because it goes public with complaints other FAMU professors have been making privately for years. Rubin attended Stanford University as an undergrad and got his law degree from Berkeley. He now teaches at Appalachian School of Law in Virginia, where his faculty bio does not mention FAMU.

JENNIFER HLADOctober 7, 2007 - 12:54AMDAILY NEWS STAFFDuring his time in Iraq with 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 1st Sgt. G. Russell Hill was exposed to multiple explosions. The most damaging was when a rocket-propelled grenade landed about 3 feet away from him - throwing him 8 to 10 feet and injuring both his legs.Hill knew his legs were hurt. But he didn't realize that - although he had no visible scars above his waist, except for some shrapnel in his hands - the blast may also have injured his brain.Traumatic brain injuries are "really as old as human history," said Capt. Tom Johnson, Camp Lejeune Naval Hospital's neurologist. "Blast-related TBIs have been around since the invention of gunpowder."But until recent years, many did not realize a person could sustain a traumatic brain injury without any visible damage to the skull... ___________________________________________________________________

I remember not too long ago when I was about 8 or 9 years old, I was watching television with my aunt and there was a musical show airing on RTM. Must be one of those “Hiburan Minggu Ini” shows and one of the artists performing was the renowned M. Daud Kilau.
M. Daud Kilau is a veteran artist in this country and there is simply no one who can match up to his inimitability. He always wears his black curls thick and fake looking, plastered to his head. His ward robe is so psychedelic, one need to wear a sun glass when opening his closet else risking the blinding of the eyes due to dazzling effects from all his sequined and beaded outfits, in the brightest hue of all colors of the rainbow. I think that is why M Daud Kilau himself is cross eyed. Until today when he already is a senior citizen, this talented artist with many-many fabulous hit songs will never have the adjective masculine describing him. The most notable uniqueness about him is the way he dance – belly dance!

Treating the trauma of war – fairly - Yahoo! News:
The US is doing what warring countries have done since the First World War, changing the definition of what ‘Shell Shock’ or ‘Post Traumatic Stress Disorder’ (PTSD) means.
In this article Treating the trauma of war – fairly we learn that the US military is trying to wiggle out of long-term costs by taking the blame from war and placing it on the soldier:
The military, however, has changed the terms and given many thousands of enlisted men and women a new diagnosis: “personality disorder.” While the government would be obliged to care for veterans suffering from combat-related trauma, a personality disorder – defined as an ingrained, maladaptive way of orienting oneself to the world – predates a soldier’s tour of duty (read: preexisting condition). This absolves Uncle Sam of any responsibility for the person’s mental suffering.
The new diagnostic label sends the message: This
No one is prepared for the phone call or the
knock on the door telling you that a loved one has been killed. Your first
response is generally denial – “It can’t be so; I just saw him this morning.” or
“I just got off the phone with her.”
This denial leads to a kind of numbness which is
nature’s way of protecting us from a reality we cannot yet process. The numbness
can help us navigate through the initial days when decisions need to be made. It
can be difficult to have some of these decisions taken away.
Often with a traumatic death, the coroner must
keep the body until all necessary knowledge is gleaned. Even when the body is
released, decisions must be made about whether or not to have a service and what
should be included if you decide to have one.
It’s unlikely that you have already had an
opportunity to discuss your loved ones wishes in this regard. If you have – and
I recommend that you do – your decisions may be less difficult to make. If not,

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that some people develop after seeing or living through an event that caused or threatened serious harm or death. Symptoms include flashbacks or bad dreams, emotional numbness, intense guilt or worry, angry outbursts, feeling “on edge,” or avoiding thoughts and situations that remind them of the trauma.In PTSD, these symptoms last at least one month.Currently, many scientists are focusing on genes that play a role in creating fear memories. Understanding how fear memories are created may help to refine or find new interventions for reducing the symptoms of PTSD. For example, PTSD researchers have pinpointed genes that make:Stathmin, a protein needed to form fear memories. In one study, mice that did not make stathmin were less likely than normal mice to “freeze,” a natural, protective response to danger, after being exposed to a fearful experience. They also showed less innate fear by exploring open spaces more willin
When talking to Larry King Live, she said she would never drink and drive again. She claims that her time in jail was a "time out of life"
In her first interview after coming out of jail, Paris said that even though she's an Aquarius and that "we're social people", being behind bars taught her that "there's a lot more important things in life" than partying.
"I'm frankly sick of it". Maybe Paris has changed. "I've been going out for a long time now. Yeah, it's fun, but it's not going to be the mainstay of my life anymore." Really, she HAS changed.
She said that her time in jail was a traumatic experience which inspired a journey of self discovery which she intends to continue.

LOS ANGELES (US): Paris Hilton told CNN's Larry King she would never again drink and drive and that her time in jail was "a time-out in life."In her first televised interview since leaving jail, a demure Hilton said Wednesday that even though she's an Aquarius and "we're social people," her time behind bars taught her "there's a lot more important things in life" than partying."I'm frankly sick of it," Hilton said, with loose, re-blonded locks and camera-ready makeup.

{summary}Yes, Rosco has taken to his binky again. Lately he’s been gnawing on his fingers like they’re going out of style and shrieking like a hurt dingo whenever he’s not sucking on something, so I gave it back to him. The drooling has intensified 1000% in the past few days so I suppose he may be at the beginning stage of teething. If not, he’s been a really, really, REALLY, grumpy child just for the hell of it.
In case you’re wondering about the interview, it was fine. I dropped Ros off at the babysitter’s where he got to observe the fine art that is crawling from the mom’s 9-month-old. When we got home the first thing he wanted to do when I put him on the floor was practice worm-like undulations while on his belly. His next trick is to put one leg out sideways like a bike kick-stand to try to get his body up. He got lazy after managing to propel himself a few inches forward and quit travelling befo
DSM-IV 309.81 Posttraumatic stress disorder (specify acute, chronic, or delayed onset) 308.3 Acute stress disorder An anxiety disorder resulting from exposure to a traumatic event in which the individual has experienced, witnessed, or been confronted with an event or events that involve actual or threatened death/serious injury or a threat to the physical integrity of the self or others. The individual’s response involved intense fear, helplessness, or horror. (A thorough physical examination should be done to rule out neurological organic problems.)
