Recovery Concert on January 24--mark your calendars!

I'll be presenting a Recovery event on January 24 for Chainbreakers in Orem.  Join me, Jenna Pinnegar and some other singer friends to be announced for a night of music and stories about healing and recovery.

Also--please contact me through pm if you are interested in sponsoring some of our women needing financial support over the next couple months.  The path of recovery for a domestic abuse survivor is complicated! Our goal is to help them establish safety in an environment that is supportive and predictable.  The gas lighting effect of always worrying about your "luck running out" causes prolonged symptoms of PTSD and only lengthens the recovery process.  Worrying about where you're going to live next month on an already flooded brain (see link!) damages neuro-circuitry! 

"The ‘stress hormone’ cortisol is believed to create a domino effect that hard-wires pathways between the hippocampus and amygdala in a way that might create a vicious cycle by creating a brain that becomes predisposed to be in a constant state of fight-or-flight."
Chronic stress damages brain structure and connectivity!  

Alright then--watch for more info and have a safe and peaceful December 2016:))
