Withdrawal Facts

In her previous article, Laura Vigiano, 68, a former licensed clinical social worker described working alongside psychiatrists in a psychiatric hospital for 18 years and never hearing one word about withdrawal.

Then she tried to go off Cymbalta and “all hell broke loose” and “the akathisia hit with a vengeance”.

“When I began to fall asleep my body would jolt awake as if sleep was dangerous. I felt like I was shaking inside. I could not eat food. I forced myself to drink soup and smoothies. My arms felt like they were burning—not painful, but hot and prickly (this burning sensation is called paresthesia). In the pit of my stomach was a ball of fire sending out electrical shards of terror. The ball of fire and the burning on my arms came and went with waves of dread. At times while lying in bed, my pulse was 160 bpm.

The burning, intense fear and inner shaking were overwhelming. All I could do was lie in bed clinging with white knuckles to my sanity like I was a tiny dinghy in the middle of the ocean being battered by waves much too big for my fragile boat, with no hope of rescue.”

Parental Alienation & Personality Disorders -Charlie McCready

The link between personality disorders, codependency, and parental alienation reveals a complicated web of psychological interactions. Parents with personality disorders, particularly Cluster B personality disorders like narcissistic, borderline, histrionic, and antisocial personalities, often exhibit extreme and erratic behaviours that can significantly impact their children. These disorders are characterised by difficulties controlling anger, vindictiveness, impulsive outbursts, rage when criticised, lack of empathy, and aggressive behaviour. Parents who emphasise the faults and flaws of the other parent, create an environment where children feel compelled to align with them (the emotionally unstable parent) in an attempt to placate them. This behaviour contributes to alienating children against the other parent over time. Parents with personality disorders tend to overlook their own problematic behaviour, making it challenging to acknowledge their contribution to any problems.

Co-dependency, which often results from insecure attachment patterns, can further intensify the negative impact of parental personality disorders. Co-dependent people (parents) tend to derive their sense of self-worth from others (their children), making them susceptible to enabling or engaging in alienating behaviours. This perpetuates a cycle of emotional turmoil for children caught in the crossfire.

High Energy = More Change

Everything you have experienced in your lifetime has brought you to this Now moment.

Really think about this for a moment.

For an awakened Starseed who is now on their Lightworker journey this is an important part of your journey. To take a moment and look back on everything you did, everything you chose to do. Each experience builds you just as you need to be in this now moment.

The reason you took that course, or learned that modality, or why you took an accounting class when you were really interested in music. There are lots of little pieces of you found in weird jobs you took, and even stranger relationships that you went through, all to build the magnificent being that you are right now.

Each experience added to you, fine tuned you to be just who you are today. A living Lightworker of unconditional love. A being full of empathy and love, but also very special traits that you’ve learned here during your walk to help you be the light needed for the finale of it all.

You aren’t perfect, none of us are here. There are no perfect humans, they aren’t created that way.

Each of us are still being pulled on by the programming in this reality. It can be a struggle to rise above the 3D Matrix broadcast right now that is desperately trying to get your attention. But you turn away and turn it off because you understand your light feeds that and makes it stronger.

The only thing you are interested in are things that make you and the ascending stronger. You enjoy your time in nature, you love solitude. You have found that you create a sanctuary around you in your home. You like it there because it’s a higher vibration than out in the world.

You are changing now by the moment. Recognizing and understanding things that escaped you before. Now somehow you get it. Lots of “aha” moments as your life begins to come together and make more sense.

You’re manifesting easier and quicker as your vibration rises, but also with help of the higher energies on the planet.

You find yourself in tears often and not always from doing inner work. Sometimes music or beauty overwhelms your senses and you find it hard to keep the joy in, so happy tears flow.

As you rise and grow higher, like the beautiful being that you are, you notice a change in people around you. You intuitively understand them better. You’ve begun trusting your resonance more, and see truth in situations you didn’t before.

Sometimes you see things in those you love, that you didn’t see before. It can make you need to pull away or move in closer depending on what you see.

There is so much happening with you now, it’s as if you’ve never really experienced this world before. Now you’re seeing it truthfully through your Lightworker vision and it can be a lot. But you find you can change and flow differently, as needed.

You are in control of your experience and are understanding how to make it work for you, just as you need it to.

It’s not perfect, but neither are you.

You are here to be a light, a beacon of unconditional love for all of those humans that have been rotating in the wheel of karma on Earth for generation after generation.

Karma ended for the humans in 2019, now it’s time to finish it. You are powered up and ready to walk those final steps through the last energetic activation of the Love Wave. The activation that switches everything off here, that is not of the light, and brings everyone forward to where they have chosen to go.

This is the time of the Lightworker, this is the time of YOU!

We are there, it is now.

May peace be upon you and love reign supreme.

All my love,

A fresh chapter begins

Right Now , we’re moving through a powerful energy shift charged by solar storms and intense cosmic activity. This wave of energy is moving quickly, shaking things loose and clearing out anything that feels heavy, blocked, or no longer aligned with where you’re headed.

You may feel more sensitive than usual.

Emotions can come up quickly—

one minute you’re fine , the next you’re overwhelmed or ready to cry. Old thoughts, habits, or memories might show up without warning. That’s a sign something is leaving your system.

This energy is helping you let go of what no longer fits, so you can move forward more freely.

You might notice patterns starting to break and that things that used to keep repeating now feel different. People may be acting differently, and you may feel distant from certain places, habits, or relationships that once felt comfortable. This is a sign you’re changing, and your energy is shifting to match the new version of you that’s ready to evolve.

This is also a strong time for manifestation. What you’ve been thinking about, dreaming about, or quietly wishing for is starting to take shape. The Universe is responding quickly, so you may get sudden ideas, clear answers, or unexpected signs. Messages, offers, and conversations may show up right when you need them.

If you’ve felt blocked or stuck lately, this is the energy that helps push things forward. You might feel pulled to clean your space, have honest conversations, change your routine, or rest more than usual. All of that is part of the shift. Your system is clearing space for something better.

Here are signs and symptoms you may be experiencing during this shift:

Sudden bursts of emotion—crying out of nowhere, feeling waves of joy, or intense frustration

Highly detailed, symbolic, or emotional dreams that linger when you wake up

Waking up between 2 and 5 a.m

Feeling wired with energy one moment, then exhausted the next

A strong pull to deep clean, organize, or throw things away

Tingling in the crown of the head and buzzing in the ears

Unexpected changes in appetite, digestion, or sleep

Feeling restless in your body, like something inside is trying to shift or leave

Strong intuitive hits—knowing something before it happens

Seeing repeating numbers like 111, 333, or 555 several times a day

Time feeling strange—either moving too fast or stretching out

People from your past reaching out with unexpected messages or conversations

New people entering your life with calm, familiar energy

Meaningful conversations that bring healing or long-awaited clarity

Resolutions to misunderstandings you once thought would never be resolved

Fast replies to texts, emails, or messages that open doors or move plans forward

Creative ideas arriving fully formed, with a strong urge to begin something new

Realizations about what you’re ready to release—old stories, guilt, resentment

Physical sensations of release after rest, crying, meditating, or journaling

Feeling pulled toward rest, nature, and deeper silence

A strong inner sense that something is shifting in your favor

This energy is clearing out everything that no longer fits where you’re going. Old emotions, heavy thoughts, and draining habits are rising so you can finally release them. You’re making space for peace, real love, clear direction, and the kind of abundance that flows naturally.

As your energy lightens, your power to manifest grows stronger. The Universe is listening closely now. What you focus on is gaining momentum, so speak with intention. Talk about what you want like it’s already yours. Be gentle with yourself and honor what your body feels and what your heart keeps whispering.

Let the past fall away, and let go of what feels heavy, forced, or confusing. You don’t need to carry it anymore. Make space for what feels easy, aligned, and real.

You’re entering a turning point.

A fresh chapter is already unfolding.

Stay grounded, stay open, and keep choosing what feels like peace.

Craig Childress PsyD – Forensic Psychologist

Forensic psychologists are in violation of four – 4 – ethical Standards of the American Psychological Association.

They don’t know the necessary knowledge – that’s a violation of Standard 2.01 Boundaries of Competence.

Because they don’t know the necessary knowledge, they don’t apply the established knowledge of the discipline as the bases for their professional judgments – that’s a violation of Standard 2.04 Bases for Scientific & Professional Judgments.

Because they don’t know or apply the necessary knowledge as the bases for their professional judgments (violations to Standards 2.01 & 2.04), their opinions contained in their reports and recommendations are NOT based on information sufficient to substantiate their findings – a violation of Standard 9.01 Bases for Assessment.

Applying the DSM-5 as the bases for professional judgments is a reasonable step for a doctor to take to avoid the foreseeable harm that could result from misdiagnosis if no professional level diagnosis is made – in violation of Standard 3.04 Avoiding Harm.

That is four – 4 – ethical violations where there should be zero.

In addition, the forensic psychologists are routinely failing in their duty to protect on two grounds:

1) failure to protect the child from psychological child abuse (DSM-5 V995.51) by the allied parent,

2) failure to protect the targeted parent from spousal psychological abuse of the allied parent using the child (and the child’s induced pathology) as the spousal abuse weapon.

From Cornell Law School: “Negligence is the failure to behave with the level of care that a reasonable person would have exercised under the same circumstances. Either a person’s actions or omissions of actions can be found negligent. The omission of actions is considered negligent only when the person had a duty to act.”

Forensic psychologists are ignorant. Google ignorance: “lack of knowledge or information.”

Patients are educating the forensic psychologists regarding what the pathology is because the forensic psychologists lack knowledge and information – they are ignorant by definition of the English language.

Forensic psychologists are ignorant, incompetent, and unethical… and they don’t care. Where are the licensing boards enforcing ethical standards? Nowhere to be seen.

Why is that?

If they change, they admit their prior ignorance, incompetence, unethical practice, and negligent failure in their duty to protect obligations.

If they don’t change, then they CONTINUE their ignorant, incompetent, and unethical malpractice, and they continue their negligent failure to protect children from child abuse and their parents from spousal abuse.

Forensic custody evaluations are “dangerous” and “harmful to children”, they “lack scientific or legal value” and their “defective reports” result in “potentially disastrous consequences for parents and children” (NY Blue-Ribbon Commission on Forensic Custody Evaluations, 2021).

Forensic custody evaluations need to be entirely eliminated from the family courts (NY Blue-Ribbon Commission on Forensic Custody Evaluations, 2021) and clinical diagnostic assessments of the child and family pathology need to be routinely conducted to the appropriate differential diagnoses for each parent.

Born Pure

YOU WERE BORN PURE

Don’t Let the World Convince You Otherwise.

Before the guilt,

Before the shame,

Before the world placed its projections on your name—

You were pure.

Radiant.

Unstained.

Overflowing with God’s breath.

You didn’t enter this world broken.

You weren’t born into sin.

You were born into forgetting.

And even that forgetting is part of the return.

“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” – Jeremiah 1:5

You were never separate.

You were never unworthy.

You were never too far gone.

The world taught you otherwise.

Taught you to feel ashamed for being too much, too sensitive, too alive.

Taught you to dim your light, mistrust your voice,

and fear the very God who formed you in love.

But all of that was programming.

Layers on top of truth.

And now?

Now you’re peeling it back.

Your Innocence Was Never Lost—Only Buried

They told you to carry guilt.

But guilt can’t touch the soul.

Your essence is untouched.

Your spirit is unblemished.

Yes, you made mistakes.

Yes, you wandered.

Yes, you forgot.

But none of that changed the truth:

You were made in the image of God.

And God doesn’t make junk.

“You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you.” – Song of Songs 4:7

This Is the Return

Not to perfection.

To wholeness.

To remembrance.

To the original light you’ve always carried.

You’re not here to earn your worth.

You’re here to embody it.

To walk as the living temple you are.

To cleanse the mirror and finally see yourself as God has always seen you.

FINAL WORD: YOU ARE STILL PURE

Not because you’ve never fallen—

but because no fall can erase your design.

The dirt isn’t who you are.

The wounds aren’t who you are.

The labels, the trauma, the projections—none of that defines you.

God’s fingerprint is still on your soul.

And it never fades.

So lift your head.

Strip the shame.

Walk in the knowing:

“I was born of light.

And light I remain.”

It’s not too late.

It never was.

You were always worthy.

You were always His.

And you were always pure.
