Here’s me, doing my bit to participate weekly in Kelly’s Seven Quick Takes over at This Ain’t the Lyceum.
So here’s…
This Week’s Resources for Catholic Trauma Survivors
Takes. Best described as quick. Seven of them.

- Compassion shot: Adults with PTSD have lower brain connectivity.
- More deeply on that note: People With Neurological Conditions Often Experienced Childhood Trauma.
- Moral injury is when hurt people hurt people: The anguish of unintentional killing.
- I’m a big promoter of finding groups of supportive voices to help you rebuild your relational self. Here’s a piece rating (in that writer’s opinion) The 6 Best Online PTSD Support Groups.
- Another study on the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on chronic disease in middle age: read it here.
- Ending with your weekly reminder that All Things New: Breaking the Cycle and Raising a Joyful Family is available for purchase. Already read your copy? Leave a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads, and don’t forget to link up with this month’s An Open Book from Carolyn Astfalk & Catholic Mom.

This week’s media: Dr. Ramaini on a little-mentioned type of emotional abuse: future faking.
