As we all know this is not an easy time being a participant currently on Earth. Really, what’s happening is we are shedding the heaviness that we all have accumulated along the way. I believe what we are experiencing is the repeating of trauma of our past meaning we’re repeating Atlantis and the Orion wars. Atlantis was a highly technological and spiritually advanced society which we have on Earth now. Earth is also becoming very advanced in technology and we’re all becoming very aware of the advancement in the human race as we become very evolved humans. Earth is much more diverse than we were in the days of Atlantis but just as polarizing. I’ve said this in the past that the Old Testament was about Atlantis and if we repeat the same patterns we will receive the same fate. That diversity connects us to all different star systems in the galaxy.
We are to a smaller extent replaying the type of society that led to the Orion wars. Remember, much of the predictions that we are seeing on the internet have already happened and people are having a hard time deciphering the past and the future in their visions. They think that they are seeing one future we are all headed for when in actuality they are only seeing one version of the past but that’s the past that those and others like them need to re-experience.
We need to go through this turbulent time so we can create a better reality, a better future, a better version of society away from the polarized, oppressed current one we are experiencing. But, in reality what we are living currently is nothing like what we’ve experienced in the past and what we’ve come to Earth to resolve. We’ve come to Earth at this time to release that heaviness and trauma of our past. This is what this time for humanity is all about.
Much of what we are seeing in our world currently is the systematic destruction of the old system. We are watching the old world crumble before our eyes. Many are feeling hopeless because we don’t see the changes that we want to see in the external world. But, you all see those Ancient power structures coming down. Those people working in the dark, behind closed doors are all being exposed this is the beginning of major changes. Many might not know it but this is all coming about because of the rising of our awareness which is brought on by the activation of our dormant DNA. We are becoming higher conscious beings.
Many have become aware of just how much Darkness is in our world. Some choose to expand in this awareness and some choose to resist it. Those resistors who choose to deny and look the other way are in for a rude Awakening. Those of you that are becoming aware of this mass secret are ahead of those who simply choose not to expand and I believe that is due to fear. That initial hit that we all took when we became aware of this mass secret will morph into a healing process and that’s exactly what needs to happen. You are steering this ship to calmer waters. Meaning, the shedding of past trauma.
This is all happening vibrationally and soon enough you will SEE the results physically. I know many of you are FEELING these results physically as the frequencies rise. Meaning, headaches, dizziness, extreme ringing of the ears, digestive issues, losing memory… I could go on and on. But, this process takes time and we have to go thru the exposure of the Darkness in order to get past it. Remember, our numbers are growing every single day and the support by higher dimensional civilizations is unwavering. Also, the scope of help we are getting from them is unimaginable to our 3rd dimensional minds. Remember, any construct you envision, any perception you believe, any feeling that you contemplate with this lower mind is purely an illusionary creation of this lower mind.
This illusionary world has us looking at the shadows rather than the true reality that created them. These lower thoughts and feelings occupy your vision and senses with an endless amount of material to keep this illusion alive which many call the Matrix which we are breaking out of. It’s kind of like we are in the eye of the storm where the calmness resides while it rages on externally. In this state of calmness is where direct communication from higher dimensions occur. Some people call this zero point I see it simply as humanity’s ongoing process of DNA activation. When we start recovering memory from our dormant DNA it opens up levels of awareness and insight, wisdom and knowledge that our 3D minds couldn’t even fathom currently.
We are now experiencing the movement of information through frequency and interpreting it through our 3rd dimensional understanding. We could have never done this on a mass scale like we are doing now a hundred years ago. Remember, it’s a higher aspect of you that will step into this new world not a polished version of your current self. We are currently being set free from the constraints of the lower mind. Intention is extremely important. Listen to that intuitive voice rather than the head. Your head will tell you all you want to hear but intuitively you will just know. ~ Teri Wade ❤
I’m going after the licenses of the ignorant, incompetent, and unethical forensic psychologists. I don’t think they’re going to like that.
They worked hard for their licenses. They had to complete all the requirements for the doctoral degree, including a dissertation. Then they had to complete two full years of supervised practice before they’re even allowed to sit for the licensing exam. Then they have to pass the licensing exam covering all the psychology knowledge they ever learned. Then they get their license. That’s a lot.
And I’m going to take that all away from them and end their careers in professional psychology. That’s not a nice thing to do to them, to take their license away.
They are participating in the psychological abuse of the child because of their negligent malpractice – they are ignorant, lazy, incompetent, and unethical. As a result, they collude and participate in the psychological abuse of the child and the targeted parent.
I’m not from here. I’m not from this court-involved custody pathology world. Look at my vitae. I’m a trauma psychologist out of child abuse and foster care. I’m here to protect children from child abusers – from the child abusing forensic psychologists who are here exploiting the vulnerabiligy ov targeted parents for financial gain.
They deserve to lose their license to practice for being ignorant, incompetent, unethical, child abusers. We have duty to protect obligations. To participate in the psychological abuse of the child is a huge failure in duty to protect obligations. They are the child abuser.
I don’t think the forensic psychologists are going to like me. That’s okay, I’m not here to make friends, I’m here to protect children and their parents from psychological abuse. I know exactly where I am and I know exactly what I’m doing.
I have developed an assessment protocol for this court-involved attachment pathology, supported by the established scientific and professional knowledge of the discipline (Foundations; Childress, 2015).
The assessment protocol involves two data-documentation instruments – the Diagnostic Checklist for Pathogenic Parenting and the Parenting Practices Rating Scale. If more was needed, I would have developed more. Clearly documenting the child’s symptoms and the parenting practices of the targeted-rejected parent is all that’s needed.
This is not the first time I have developed an assessment protocol for a forensic pathology. I served as the Clinical Director for a team of psychologists tasked by the Department of Justice and FEMA with developing a national model for the assessment of juvenile firesetting behavior, a court-involved forensic mental health pathology.
The Executive Director for the team was Dr. Fineman, a forensic psychologist and the world’s leading expert on juvenile firesetting behavior. We had Dr. Patterson on the team as the Organizational Development psychologist to help implement the assessment protocol into the fire agencies. We worked under the aupices of the Orange County Fire Authority through grants from DOJ and FEMA.
I’m not a puffy-vitae psychologist. I’m too busy working to worry about getting stuff on my vitae. But there’s stuff. I’ve worked at high-levels of clinical psychology throughout my life, on major NIMH research projects with the leading experts in their respective fields – Nuechterlein, schizophrenia – Swanson, ADHD – Fineman, juvenile firesetting.
My role on the DOJ/FEMA project was to develop the assessment protocol, I was the clinical psychologist on the team, my responsibility was developing the actual assessment protocol itself. Dr. Fineman was the content expert, Dr. Patterson was implementation. I was responsible for developing the assessment protocol.
Our project produced some paper presentations to professional organizations. I don’t worry about puffing up my vitae, so I kind of lost track of citations and stuff because I was busy doing things to solve things.
I’ve never really applied for jobs. I was recruited out of Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles to join the ADHD in preschooler project of Jim Swanson. I was recruited by the DOJ/FEMA project to develop the assessment protocol for that. I was recruited to be the Clinical Director for a three-university assessemnt and treatment center for children in foster care.
I didn’t apply for any of those positions, they recruited me. People who work with me know what I can do and they tell other people, “You should get Childress for that.” So my vitae is sort of secondary. I’m not a puffy vitae, I’m a working guy.
Of note is that I have worked with top-tier professionals all my life across multiple professional domains. Birds of a feather…
I was in charge of running a project call Cuidar organized by Jim Swanson, a top-tier expert in ADHD. He wanted to look into doing neuro-cogntive remediation of attention networks in the brain using specially developed computer games for preschoolers.
Dr. Swanson is THE leading expert on ADHD in the world, I’d place him at #1. But his team didn’t have Early Childhood Mental Health specialization, and working with children zero-to-five is a highly-highly specialized field. It’s a boundaries of competence issue.
I have Early Childhood Mental Health specialization (i.e., attachment and the neuro-development of the brain in childhod – I know everything there is to know about both – everything). I was brought on board as the lead clinical psychologist running the Cuidar project.
That’s what led to my fourth author position on a multi-author paper produced for this project, published in the journal Clinical Neuroscience Research (Tamm et. al., 2005).
Leanne Tamm, my colleague on the project, wrote the paper itself, so she’s first author, Jim Swanson is second author because it’s his project, Marc Lerner is third as the Medical Director of the UCI Child Development Center, I’m fourth author because I ran the project. The other authors are the various people I supervised in the project.
I ran the project reported in the journal Clinical Neuroscience Research. I had kinda forgotten we had a paper from that. I remember that Leanne was super-excited, but I didn’t much care. I was on to other things – I moved on from that project to become the Clinical Director for a three-university assessment and treatment center for children ages zero-to-five in foster care.
A few years back I was trying to locate research articles from other people that caught my interest. That’s become harder now that I’m no longer a faculty teaching graduate-level courses in psychology,
I’ve taught graduate-level courses in assessment and diagnosis, treatment models, child development, testing and psychometrics, and research design after I left the Clinical Director position and moved into private practice on my (anticipated) way to retirement.
Then I feel down the rabbit hole into here and my life-course took a different direction.
One thing about teaching – to teach a subject you absolutely have to know everything about that subject. That’s the importance of a faculty position on the vitae – what courses did you teach? – the courses taught show the domains of knowledge. If you teach it, you absolutely know it.
I thought I was headed to private practice, guess again. Instead, I came tumbling over here into this world of forensic child custody conflict.
I had worked with Dr. Fineman, a leading forensic psychologist, on the juvenile firesetter project. I’m well-familiar with the world of forensic psychology – just not child custody confllicts until I arrived here, and even when I was previously in forensic psychology world, I remained a clinical psychologist in a forensic pathology world.
When I was looking to locate articles of interest a while back, I signed up with this online group – Academia – that tracks research on things. It tracks me. It locates whenever my name is used in research and sends me an email.
A lot of the time it’s not the same Childress. There’s a Childress in biomedicine it seems. But sometimes it is me.
That’s how I located me in the Tamm et al. article in Clinical Neuroscience Research. Then Academia located my name in the paper presentations to professional organizations generated from my work.
I’m surprised at what it can turn up, I’d kinda forgotten about them. I’m not focused on my vitae, I’ve got things to do, I’m working.
Academia recently sent me the link to two presenations I thought I’d share here on my Public Facebook Page to support my expertise with this court-involved family conflict domain. I’m a real expert in real things.
The abstract from the paper presentation by Childress, Fineman, and Patterson (2006) on the Mental Heath Assessment of Juvenile Firesetting – Topic Psychology and the Law
“Funded through grants from FEMA and the Department of Justice, the Orange County Fire Authority has contracted with an expert team of psychologists with nationally recognized experience in the mental health assessment of juvenile firesetting behavior, to undertake the development of a mental health assessment protocol for juvenile firesetting behavior.”
The abstract from a Cuidar paper presentation by Grimes et. al, (2006) on cultural factors in parenting.
“The Community University Initiative for the Development of Attention and Readiness (CUIDAR-SB) is a community-based pre-intervention education program that teaches parents how to manage preschoolers at risk for emotional and behavioral problems in a non-didactic group model called COPE (Community Parent Education; Cunningham, 1998).”
In the Grimes et al., paper presentation, Dr. Kamptner and I are the faculty mentors on this paper, the others are students we mentored. Dr. Kamptner was the Director of the Institute of Child Development and Family Relations at Cal State University, I was the Clinical Director for their clinic working with children in foster care.
I’m bringing these presenations from my earlier days days with other pathologies to general public attention here on my Facebook page to highlight an important issue – I’m an actual real expert in actual real things.
This is not the first time I have developed an assessemnt protocol for a forensic court involved pathology. I have previously worked on grants from the Deparment of Justice and FEMA to develop an assessment protocol for a forensic court-involved pathology.
I am an expert in parenting. The Cuidar program taught parenting skills across the multiple counties in Southern California.
I led the Cuidar program – Tamm et. al. (2005) Clinical Neurosciene Research. The Cuidar program taught parenting skills using the COPE model of small-group dynamics. I know everything there is to know about all the parnenting models out there.
Behavioral Parent Training Brazleton’s Touchpoints Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP) The Wonder Years (Webster-Stratton) Higher Purpose Parenting
I’ve read all the research on parenting. I was in charge of the university-based program that taught parenting skills to parents across the multiple counties in Southern California.
I am an expert – a real expert supported by my professional vitae – in parenting skills and parenting skills training. I know everything there is to know about parenting and parenting skills training… everything.
I am an expert – a real expert supported by my professioal vitae – in the assessment of court-involved forensic patholology.
I know exactly what I’m doing. I know exactly where I am and exactlty what the pathology is. I’m a trauma psychologist out of child abuse and foster care – this is my pathology. I’m working.
I’m here to protect children from child abusers – the forensic psychologists.
I’m peer-review from clinical psychology. I’m their worst nightmare – and I’m going after their license to practice for participating in the psychological abuse of the child and the parent. I want their license revoked for being a child abuser, because of their ignorance, incompetence, and unethical malpractice.
Standard 2.04 Bases for Scientific and Professional Judgments Standard 2.01 Boundaries of Competence Standard 9.01 Bases for Assessment
Failure to protect the child from child abuse (V995.51 Child Psychological Abuse).
Failure to protect the parent from IPV spousal emotional and psychological abuse using the chidl as the weapon (DSM-5 V995.82 Spouse or Partner Abuse, Psychological).
I don’t think they’ll like that. That’s okay, I’m not here to make friends. I’m working, I’m protecting my kids from child abuse. We have obligations. I know exactly where I am, I know exactly what I’m doing.
Everything – everything – I say is 100% true and correct. The forensic psychology people are participating in the psychological abuse of children because of their ignorance, incompetence, and unethical practice. I’m going after their license to practice, I want it revoked for their negligent malpractice and participation in the psychological abuse of the child and parent.
I’m an actual expert in actual real things – and I’m here for a purpose. I’m peer-review from clinical psychology. I’m their worst nightmare – knowledge applied.

“The gatekeeper believes that there is not enough to go around, therefore the gate has to be closed to some. The gatekeeper decides on a set of criteria to “weed out” the unworthy, they will be excluded, they will not have access as it is reserved for an élite. The gatekeeper is a lover of quick right/wrong tests, easy distinctions support the justification of a “no entry” decision.
The bridge builder, on the other hand believes in offering a helping hand to give access even where there are barriers to be overcome. The river may look too wild to cross but the bridge builder has the ideas and ingenuity to assist. The bridge builder has an abundance mindset, there’s plenty for everyone, you just have to know how to get to it.” ~Teresa MacKinnon
“Involving an entire family in their stupid gate keeping scheme is ridiculous and dysfunctional. The gate keepers will learn that their children will jump that gate some day and unleash a feary like they never saw coming. Grandparents—keep up the good fight, stay strong, and lean on each other….like the redwood trees!!!” ~Lucy Augustson
HOW MUCH TIME AND HEARTACHE DID IT COST YOU, WAITING FOR AND IMAGINING THE NARCISSIST WOULD CHANGE? I wasted…wait for it…half my adult life! Time I can’t get back. A dead life filled with confusion and hurt.
I decided to put that behind me and to stop thinking about the past, and to try to have a good present and future. I asked myself, “What can I do today to make my life a little bit better?” I dated some…not much. When I decided to just concentrate on making my life better right now, and on my children, one day, about year later, I met the love of my life.
I had no hesitation about being friends. Everything went so easy. We got along well with our kids. Learned to laugh again and enjoy ourselves. Love grew out of that experience.
I used to use the metaphor “falling in love”, but now I think the better analogy is of a tree growing. When we met, a seed was planted, and soon sprouted, and as time passed, it began to grow. Trees grow slowly, but they can get very large…large enough to withstand anything. It was not how I imagined it would happen. But that’s what happened.
Now I think of love, not as excitement, but as quietly resting in the shade of the tree, protected by its outspread arms, smiling, laughing, caring, feeling totally secure in every respect…personally, emotionally, financially, and it every way. That’s love that lasts.
She is Powerful “Here is a truth you often don’t hear: traumatized women have the potential to become the most powerful people in this world. The most ignorant members of society call this type of woman “damaged.” But she is the most powerful type of woman there is. What they forget is that survivors have the most dangerous advantage of all: resilience.
When you try and you try but you can never bring a woman down, you’ll know there is no going back. Don’t fool yourself. You could never defeat her. You never will. This is the woman who will always rise from the dead; Lady Lazarus, after going through hell and back.
This is the woman who has burned her feet in the flames time and time again and always lives to tell another tale – even if she has to crawl back to life. She was never given love or approval on a silver platter, so in order to survive, she had to love herself in a way others could only dream of. She fought tooth and nail for her own self-acceptance. No one cuddled her as a child or told her pretty things; she had to fend for herself each step of the way. She knows she can survive because she already has and will again.
When someone tells her, “You can’t do it,” she says, “Watch me.” She is fiery light birthed out of wintery darkness. Brought into the underworld by Hades, Persephone brings forth spring and rebirth when she reemerges finally from the cold.
She owns her shadows and seamlessly weaves them into the fabric of her freedom, creativity, imagination and independence. All of her life, she was given every evidence of human cruelty and the evil people were capable of. She understood early on that the monsters people dreamed of existed in human skin.
She lived all of her nightmares in high definition. She was given every reason to give up, handed every justification to never believe in herself or anyone. But there is raw magic in the ways in which she cultivates a faith in herself, to manifest the dreams her soul was meant to bring forth. Despite it all, she still conquers.
She still survives and thrives. The “damaged” woman is capable of immense manifestation not just in spite of, but because of the traumas she has gone through. There is no one more motivated than a woman who has constantly been told what she cannot do or who she cannot be throughout her lifetime.
There is no one more determined to succeed than someone who has nothing left to lose. The “damaged” woman doesn’t sign up for the hardships of her journey – but she plays the hell out of the cards she’s been dealt. The “damaged” woman is not damaged at all – she is wounded, and in channeling and healing her wounds, she becomes the source of incredible energy, the site of unbelievable potential for abundance and change.
She possesses the power to use her wounds for the greater good and her highest good. She builds her own success and becomes her own rugged hero; tends to her own scraped knees. She uses every stone thrown at her to build the foundation for her empire. Brick by brick she builds – and despite every attempt to tear her walls down, she rescues herself again and again.
Despite it all, this type of survivor may still face hatred, envy, greed from those around her. They try to tell her she is too damaged to soar. See, when the women society call too “damaged” perform better than those who never were, it tends to upset the status quo.
As a result, she becomes the survivor of countless witch hunts, the target of many persecutors. Yet when they try to burn her at the stake, she does what comes naturally: she resurrects herself. After all, nobody suspects that it is the wounded woman who has more power inside of her than the bullies who appear to overpower her.
They laugh and ridicule the mute warrior, the one who seems to never fight back. But here’s the thing about this type of woman: she observes. She learns how to pick and fight her own battles. Her spirit may be broken, but it is relentless. She perseveres, bit by bit. She takes it all in.
Perhaps she stays voiceless for years. For her soul, it may seem like for centuries. This is an ancient wound, one that seems to follow her from generation to generation. Yet at some point, it comes time for her soul to fight back in order to survive. It comes time for her to rise.
She stays silent for so long that when she finally speaks, the world erupts and cracks wide open. Her pent-up magnificent energy, born and bred in the pressure cooker that she calls life – is that of lightning.
Where once hopelessness was her default, now abundance becomes her birthright. Where once she was timid, she now unleashes thunder in every action and word that she wields like a sword – and with it, she always brings a storm.
Now when she creates, she creates new worlds and transforms and manifests on a level that cannot be recreated by someone who never had to struggle to survive. When you hear the voice of a powerful survivor and the will of a warrior – there is nothing you can do but to stop and listen. She is the voice of a million lifetimes lived. She is the voice of the hopeless and the powerless when the fire is brought back to their eyes. She is the harbinger of the justice that the voiceless have longed to hear and feel and touch.
Regardless of how much you try and how it may seem, you can never truly bring a survivor like this to her knees; she already knows the value her scars bring. She knows how to fill the cracks between her wounds with gold. She knows how to transform each bitter word cast upon her into an iron-clad will that will set her and other caged birds free. You can’t ever defeat a “damaged” woman, because she knows exactly how to save herself.
