Raising Vibrations

As you are shifting, growing, moving forward on your destiny road, you’re sure to realise you’re not the same person you used to be.

The things you used to tolerate, mostly to not rock the boat, despite feeling like you’re being thrown overboard, have now become intolerable.

Where you once remained quiet for benefit of all and sundry, even to your own detriment, you now speak out your truth, when you think it necessary.

Where you once battled and argued against the wind till drop down drained, you now keep your inner peace and keep being whole in surrender to sacred inner Peace, guarding your heart and health.

You are beginning to understand and appreciate the power of your voice in speaking. And in silence you learn it’s no loss, for not always voicing an opinion, because some situations simply no longer deserve your time, energy and focus.

Keep the shifting going! ❤

Family Courts : Craig Childress PsyD

There’s a problem in the family courts. Professional psychology is not meeting the needs of the families, the children, or the court.

We need a solution. What’s the solution?

We need an established diagnostic assessment protocol that everyone agrees on. We need a clearly established and agreed-to treatment protocol that fixes the pathology.

We need to stop the fight-and-fight surrounding the child, and we need to fix things.

How? How do we do that? What’s the solution?

We need turn to our universities to develop the diagnostic assessment and treatment protocols to fix things in the family courts, along with the supporting legal arguments needed to obtain the necessary diagnostic assessment and treatment.

Stop fighting about it. Put it to a top-university to develop the diagnostic assessment and treatment protocols for the attachment-related child pathology in the family courts.

Dr. Childress and Dorcy Pruter can provide the structure for an AB-PA/High Road pilot program for the family courts. What’s needed is university involvement for the evaluation research, i.e., to provide the organizational guidance in developing the diagnostic assessment and treatment protocols, and with developing the legal arguments of support.

We need to stop the fighting.

I’ll serve as the Clinical Director for an AB-PA/High Road pilot program for the family courts, and Dorcy Pruter will be a contracted consultant for recovery of children from complex trauma and child abuse using the High Road workshop.

We need university involvement for the organization and evaluation research. The university will need funding for their role in organization and research. They like that, they like receiving money to do research on something.

The best funding source would be state legislatures seeking a solution to the problems and endless fighting in the family courts. Put your best universities on it. Which university would serve as the Principle Investigator for an AB-PA/High Road pilot program for the family courts?

In California, I’d give the PI to Stanford’s Forensic Psychiatry Department. Because it’s CA, I’d also fund a second site location at UCLA-Pepperdine-Alliant universities in Southern California for geographic balance and for different focal interests.

My proposal would be to have Stanford Forensic Psychiatry be the PI organizing the multi-site research, with Stanford Forensic Psychiatry taking the leadership in developing the diagnostic assessment protocol (with involvement from a diagnostic team at UCLA in So Cal).

The So Cal site would, in-turn, focus more on developing the treatment protocol, i.e., court adapted Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT; Linehan), informed by court adapted Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT; Johnson). Susan Johnson has an academic appointment to Alliant University in San Diego.

I would anticipate that Sue Johnson’s International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy in San Diego would take leadership in developing the treatment protocol for the family courts at the So Cal site collaboration.

University researchers like receiving money to do things. So let’s bring them here to develop the diagnostic assessment and treatment protocols for the family courts – and the legal support arguments for obtaining the diagnostic assessment and treatment.

In a California AB-PA/High Road pilot program, the So Cal location with the EFT Center for Excellence could organize the integration of DBT adapted to the family courts, with the attachment therapy of EFT, coordinating with the diagnostic team at Stanford through the diagnostic team at UCLA.

Both Stanford and UCLA have world-class law schools. So just as both Stanford and UCLA lead two sites in the development of the diagnostic assessment and treatment protocols for the family courts, the law schools for those two universities could develop the supporting legal arguments for the diagnostic and treatment approach.

That’s what I’d recommend for a California solution. I would anticipate that this solution then spreads out to other locations nationally and internationally (i.e., the CA-Stanford diagnostic model). In a different state I might recommend only a single university with one big-city and one small-city site coordinated by one university.

In a two university approach in two different locations, one site leads development of the diagnostic protocol. One site leads development of the treatment protocol, i.e., court-adapted DBT informed by the attachment therapy of EFT.

Dr. Childress and Dorcy Pruter can provide the organizing structure through an AB-PA/High Road pilot program for the family courts – we need university involvement for the evaluation research.

When we were in the Netherlands in 2019, we proposed an AB-PA/High Road pilot program when we met with the Dutch Ministry of Justice, with Maastricht University for the evaluation research.

I’d propose an AB-PA/High Road pilot program for Canada, and for any state in the U.S. Pick your top universities and fund them to develop the diagnostic assessment and treatment protocols for the family courts.

Once they are developed… we can all use them everywhere.

It’s a win-win-win-win-win all the way around. Families win. Children win. Courts win. Everyone who wants to solve the pathology in the family courts, wins. Everyone wins – and we have a solution that everyone agrees to.

We stop the fighting. We now have a path to follow.

I would anticipate a 2-year grant for an AB-PA/High Road pilot program for the family courts, but only one year of that is active research. The first six months would be preparation, the last six months would be data analysis and writing up the results. In the middle would be a year of an active AB-PA/High Road pilot program for the family courts.

We’d need about 10 mental health therapists and 10 family law (amicus) attorneys at each site location, and then access to a court referred population based on the entry criteria into the AB-PA/High Road pilot program for the family courts. I’d like about 20 families, but that’s up to the research PI.

The actual program is not all that expensive. The most expensive part is likely to be the university teams and involvement.

I’d serve as the Clinical Director for an AB-PA/High Road pilot program for the family courts. I’ve been Clinical Director for two other projects, one a FEMA-DOJ project to develop a diagnostic assessment protocol for a court-involved child pathology. The other was Clinical Director for an assessment and treatment center for children in foster care, i.e., child abuse and attachment pathology.

I have background clinical expertise in assessing, diagnosing, and treating all four types of child abuse – and child abuse is the anticipated diagnosis, the only question is… which parent?

I’ve worked on major NIMH research projects with top university investigators. AB-PA is my work from Foundations. I can develop and implement an AB-PA/High Road pilot program for the family courts that can serve as the framework for developing the diagnostic assessment and treatment protocols.

Dorcy Pruter would serve as Consultant in recovery from complex trauma and child psychological abuse. The High Road workshop would be delivered at the mid-point between diagnosis and treatment. Once the diagnosis of Child Psychological Abuse (DSM-5 V995.51) is made and confirmed, the transition to the treatment phase would be through the High Road workshop into the follow-up maintenance care therapy of court-adapted DBT-EFT.

I anticipate Dorcy would do half of the High Road workshops, and that she’d train the university clinical research team in the High Road protocol, and they’d do half. That allows us to compare and replicate across workshop providers, with the workshop delivered to a high level of fidelity to the protocol developed by Ms. Pruter.

In this way, Ms. Pruter transfers the intellectual property of her approach that she developed with the High Road workshop into the healthcare and educational sectors for further research and development of the model.

I would encourage the applied expansion of Ms. Pruter’s approach into other trauma recovery domains like substance abuse recovery and reducing prison recidivism.

Ms. Pruter would retain her rights to the High Road trademark, but by training a university clinical research team she would also lose her intellectual property rights to the general approach. Following the AB-PA/High Road pilot program for the family courts, the involved university would be free to develop its own versions based on the principles, expanding them, modifying, testing, researching them in any way they’d like.

In return for her intellectual property transfer to the university, Ms. Pruter becomes the recognized goddess of trauma recovery. That is a status she already occupies, it’s just the formal recognition part that’s the addition.

The knowledge and skills of Dorcy Pruter are too valuable to be doing High Road workshops, as valuable as those are. She can train others to conduct the workshops to recover the kids, but it needs to be done properly.

There needs to be university involvement for the evaluation research.

You don’t think Dorcy’s the real deal? Put Dorcy to the test, ask her to recover the children you send to her based on an AB-PA diagnostic protocol. Have you ever seen My Cousin Vinny? You wanna put Dorcy to the test? Paaaleeese, be my guest.

Dorcy knows this pathology better than anyone on this planet. She’s seen it and worked it and recovered it up-close and personal for years-and-years.

I know this pathology better than anyone on this planet. Of course I do. I’m the best because that’s what my kids need. Dorcy Pruter is my first referral. Anytime Ms. Pruter and I are on a matter together, I consider her part of my treatment team in charge of recovery.

I listen to my treatment team. We work together toward a common goal – treatment – fixing things.

What things? Whatever things you have that need fixing? Diagnosis guides treatment. You tell me the diagnosis, I’ll tell you the treatment plan – for anything.

That’s how healthcare works.

Do you want to solve things in the family courts? Bring in your top universities and ask them to develop the diagnostic assessment and treatment protocols. Dr. Childress and Dorcy Pruter can provide the structure of an AB-PA/High Road pilot program for the family courts on which to layer the university evaluation research.

That’s the solution. I recommend the money come from a state legislature who wants to solve the pathology in the family courts. Give the issue to your best universities and let them solve it.

What are the top universities in Pennsylvania? Does Denver have any universities? How about the University of British Columbia?

Dr. Childress can bring a solution. Dorcy Pruter can bring a solution. We just need the invitation to bring a solution to the family courts. Don’t believe us? We’d like university involvement for the evaluation research please.

Put Dr. Childress & Dorcy Pruter to the test. Thank you, that’s much appreciated. I can identify it and Dorcy can fix it. So let’s do that, let’s fix it.

That’s what I think.

Woman Power

Historically the mysterious power of a woman’s vagina was believed to be so strong that simply possessing one equipped women with a great natural power source. In many cultures, the vagina has been revered as a powerful object; psychoanalyst Géza Róheim believed that “all magic is derived directly or indirectly from the female sexual organ”,[ii] while Pliny the Elder espoused the power of the vagina in Natural History where he wrote that: “There is no limit to the marvelous powers attributed to females. For, in the first place, hailstorms, they saw, whirlwinds, and lightning even, will be scared away by a woman uncovering her body while her monthly courses are upon her. The same, too, with all other kinds of tempestuous weather; and out at sea, a storm may be lulled by a woman uncovering her body, merely, even though not menstruating at the time. . . .

In The Story of V, feminist author Catherine Blackledge collects examples where the vagina is shown to have a apotropaic effect as she recounts how a traveller in North Africa recorded lions running scared from women who were lifting their skirts, how folkloric legends from Russia advocated female genital displays as a method to stave off bear attacks, and a seventeenth century European belief that raising one’s skirts could frighten off the devil himself.[v] Lions, bears and the devil represent some of the greatest fears of humanity; things that have the power to destroy humans and highlight human frailty and vulnerability, yet the mere sight of the female vagina had the power to vanquish them all.”

Trauma Bonds& Children

Did you know that we’re not the only ones who experience trauma-bonding in toxic relationships?

If you have a narcissist in your home with your children (as their parent or otherwise), they will become trauma-bonded, too.

This partly explains why many children, regardless of age, seem to “side” with the narcissistic parent. There are other reasons for this, but trauma bonding is one of the primary ones. They can’t help themselves.

I wrote an article about the damage narcissists does to children. You can read it here:

👉 https://bit.ly/NarcissistsDevastateChildren

Just as you have a hard time analyzing why you dislike the narcissist, but can’t seem to leave them, children are even less equipped to handle trauma-bonding and the other symptoms that arise from narcissistic abuse.

Many of the same dynamics that you experience in your relationship with the narcissist, your children are also experiencing, no matter how much you may try to shield them.

For example, if the narcissist is your partner and they constantly cheat on you, your children experience the backlash from this, as well. And not only from the narcissist, unfortunately. Think about it…if you’re constantly cheated on by the narcissist, how many hours do you spend playing detective, checking out social media for proof, researching narcissism, having meltdowns in your bedroom, and chatting in the forums?

What often happens is that children are not only ignored and neglected by the narcissist, but you can’t be present with them, either, when you are constantly devastated by repeated infidelities and other relationship dramas.

But aside from that, your children become trauma-bonded to the very person you’re trying to protect them from. There’s really no way to shield them from this if there is a narcissist in the home.

Just as you become euphoric over relationship crumbs, so do children.

Just as you become devastated by the lies, so do children.

We want to believe that children are emotionally resilient, but we are now seeing the devastating effects of this old belief. Just as with us, the trauma they experience becomes deeply embedded and affects them their whole lives…often leading them into their own toxic relationships as they mature and become adults.

When there is a narcissist in the home, children cannot learn what healthy love is and many of their own needs are overlooked or unnoticed. There isn’t a magical bubble that protects them from the dysfunctional dynamics of toxic relationships with dysfunctional people.

Ready to put up an electric fence? Then (if you haven’t already), make sure you watch my free workshop on severing trauma bonds.

Struggling?

If you are struggling and feeling as if it is too difficult to go on with life here in the physical, please reconsider. when our passing over is self inflicted we don’t go to hell. Instead we experience a kind of spiritual rehab and healing. Although we are aware of the love of our loved ones on the other side, we must heal and go through a more intense soul review. Once you come into a state of deeper soul understanding you will join your loved ones.

If you are in physical body there is a purpose for your being here. Even when it makes no sense and you are suffering, your soul is choosing to be here to accelerate your ascension into a higher state of being. The more our struggle, the more potential we have to advance into a state of profound enlightenment and joy.

When we leave here through our own doing we will return in another life with the same and usually more challenging circumstances. Whatever issues pushed us to make the decision to leave needs to be met again and again, until we find within ourselves the power and love to transform.

I wish for you the presence of pure love and angelic protection. Your physical life is a blessing and gift, even when it hurts and seems so so difficult. The divine is within and surrounding you, now and forever. Allow the higher presence of love to be the healing in every circumstance in your life and in your heart, mind and soul.

New Technologies

Organ Regenerator -The Bio-Organic Machine

Via Aurora Ray

Dear sisters and brothers of planet earth, we have some fantastic news for you!

We are ready with our spaceships. We are excited about landing on your planet! We cannot predict a date but we want you to know that we are positioned and ready for it.

We are prepared to share our technologies that will help you evolve. Our first mission is to improve human health on earth with advanced technologies. Our goal is to make you healthier and happier.

The economy is strained on earth by an aging population because people’s productivity declines as they age and their reliance on the healthcare system increases. Nobody is to blame, but growing older raises the risk of developing major diseases that diminish the quality of life and are costly to treat.

So, what will our advanced technology do for older citizens? He or she will be 20 again in a matter of minutes!

This age reversal is accomplished by reprogramming the chemical markers that build up on DNA as cells age. Our technology will bring the cells back to a more youthful state, allowing them to repair and replace damaged tissue.

They’ll reclaim the energy they’ve lost. Using their experienced brains, they can perform everything with more vitality at the same time. Their mental abilities will be sharp. What they have learned throughout their lives will add value to them. If they desire, they can have children and start a new, happier family!

It is like being born again – but better. You’ll be transformed to a younger body and the best part is, you won’t have to go through any either. Imagine waking up and seeing your face and body look and feel as young as they did when you were in your twenties!

Not only are your hearing, vision, taste, touch, and smell restored to their youthful condition, but you are also mentally alert with a youthful outlook on life. You can live an ageless lifestyle. You can preserve your youth. You can once again enjoy all of your favorite foods. You can enjoy the wealth, style, and excitement that come with being youthful.

And we have an advanced artificial intelligence scanner.

When you lie inside a hollow cylinder, it uses over 10 different frequencies of electromagnetic waves to scan your body. Then it sends that information to a specialized supercomputer we call the correction mechanism. That computer analyses all the data and identifies any imbalances in your body. By altering specific frequency patterns, it tells your cells how to repair themselves and reestablish homeostasis. Any kind of human disease can be cured within a few minutes!

Another technology we want to share with you is the ‘Organ Regenerator’. This is an amazing bio-organic machine that has the power to regenerate organs. Created with advanced plasma technology, it replaces damaged organs with brand new ones!

It will match the body data of a person to a Master Default Program. In it, we keep an ongoing file of human anatomy all the way to cells. and if it finds a mismatch due to an organ being removed, it will start regenerating that organ. In effect, you can regrow any part of your body.

For this, we use our 3D Bio Printer. It’s easy to print out replacement organs. Everything is done automatically with its inbuilt AI. We have already stored all the data in our 3D library of anatomy, so it will print out any part you need.

You will feel completely weightless while lying on our device. It will be like floating in space! You will go through deep sleep. You will be completely relaxed. It will be a sensory deprivation experience with zero side effects.

Our advanced technologies will be a medical breakthrough that will change your views on healing and diseases. You can benefit greatly from this “Heavenly New Age Medicine” that has been hidden from the public for a very long time.

We can’t wait any longer. We can’t watch you suffer any longer. We don’t want you to be hurt anymore. We love you. You are our family of light and this universe cares about you.

Our mission is to empower the building of a new age of Gaia immediately with our advanced technologies.

You are the builders of a new earth where anything is possible.

The Age of light has begun. A new Earth is at hand, and it will be a happy one, a peaceful one, a joyful one, a music-filled one, and a dance-filled one!

We love you dearly.

We are your family of light.

Cosmic Mother

”But patriarchy must maintain, by force, an unnatural system. Since the supreme creator is a male, woman must be redefined as “male property,” i.e., as “wife.” In fact the very idea of a male Creator God carries within itself the necessity for some kind of tightly controlled class-caste society. Because it is only through the creation of life through human mothers, now passive and powerless, that the male God can claim glory for himself. He cannot, he does not go through the dangerous episode of childbirth in his own person. He uses women to do it for him. Then, contrary to the truth, he claims that he is the all-mighty creator. The woman, at best, is patronized for her role as “divine housewife.” –Monica Sjoo & Barbara Mor, The Great Cosmic Mother

Strength by Craig Childress PsyD

Strength. What is it?

Where do we find it? Where does it come from?

Strength is not power. Although strength brings power, it is not the same as power. Power is something on the outside. Strength is something on the inside.

I think strength comes from courage. Where do we find courage?

Ukraine is demonstrating the interrelationship of strength and courage. We’re not always successful, sometimes the power brought against us is too powerful. But we stand and fight each step of the way because we have courage which brings us strength.

Fear makes us draw back, we want to flee. Grief empties us, we collapse in and lose our motivation. Anger counters these weaker emotions. Anger makes us feel strong and powerful, we don’t feel afraid, we don’t feel grief – we feel only anger when anger is there.

But anger is not strength. Anger is only a shifting emotion of the moment. Strength is what remains when the anger leaves and the fear and grief return in the quiet time. Where does strength come from?

Many times strength is simply the will to endure until time moves this-time on.

When I was in the 4th grade, we were forced to memorize a poem. Everything about school to me begins with, “We were forced to…” I didn’t like school and I tried to disregard it as much as possible.

Of all the education I received K through 12, memorizing a poem in the 4th grade is the only information I received from them of value – If by Rudyard Kipling.

I learned their History and Science, their Math and English, to their testing satisfaction. I diagrammed their sentence structures and solved their quadratic equations. They forced me to do it, so I did it.

But when I think back on all the things they made me do from K to 12, memorizing If by Kipling is the only thing they forced me to do that has been of value.

We had to recite the poem in front of the class – public humiliation if we failed the memorization task. I did it, I memorized their poem. Over-and-over I repeated it to myself, memorizing each line to the next.

I ingrained each line into the fabric of my memory. They put it in me. This has been of value. Nigh on the only thing of value they gave me from my years spent with them was forcing me to memorize If by Rudyard Kipling in the 4th grade.

What is strength? Where does it come from, how do we find it?

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

What is Strength? As a young man, I’d go to the gym to work out. In lifting weights I’d build strength by commitment, simply putting in the time – even when I didn’t want to, especially when I didn’t want to. Just do it.

It’s not hard. You just have to do it. It doesn’t matter what we think. It doesn’t matter what we feel or want. The only thing that matters is what we do.

Like the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion, we find our character in our adversity and challenge, but it’s out there we find it. It was with us the entire time, the context just called our character forth from us.

You each fight your battles alone. That’s what the pathology wants you to believe. They lie about you. No one believes you. No one cares. No one is coming. You’re alone.

That’s the experience of that abused child so many years ago – alone – no on sees – no one cares – no one is coming.

It’s true, you are alone – but you’re not. That’s a lie. You’re not alone. We see. We know. We’re coming. This is a pathology of lies. It had you trapped. Not anymore.

You have your voice, you have your path. We are changing everything because everything needs to change. It’s both a systems failure as well as the negligent professional failures of the psychologists. We’re fixing both.

The pathogen triggers your fears. The pathogen surrounds you with lies to disorient you, you’re constantly having to prove reality. No you don’t. That’s a lie.

You just need the mental health people to do their job. The “forensic” psychologists are failing you, your children, and the court.

Strength. What is it? Where does it come from, how do we find it?

You’re right. Your reality is right. They are wrong. They are immensely ignorant and negligently incompetent. You’re right. They are wrong.

You know that. I know that. They are powerful. So are we, when we find our strength. Don’t surrender to the chaos it tries to create, don’t be reactive.

Don’t dance to the pathogen’s music of chaos de jour – find the longer lines that will be productive, that move to a purpose and goal.

I think strength comes from courage. Where does courage come from?

I dunno. Maybe ask a lion where courage comes from.

Medusa

“By turning men to stone [Medusa] prevented “the male gaze,” thus denying the possibility that women could be defined by men . . .

Her snakes represent unintimidatable self-possession. She had to be killed because by her very existence she could expose the contingency of the Law of the Fathers . . . Medusa symbolizes female potential. In short, Medusa is the unvarnished, undomesticated counternarrative to patriarchy.”

~ Ann Scales

Ann C. Scales was an American lawyer, activist, and law professor at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law from 2003 to 2012, where she taught in constitutional law, sexual orientation and the law, civil procedure and torts.
