I am not my thoughts. If I hate you, I am not the thoughts of hate, although the thoughts are inside me. If I love you, I am not the thoughts of love, although they are inside me. And so it is with emotional trauma.

The thoughts of emotional trauma are not us. That’s why in chapter one I said: “The traumatic feelings and thoughts were a part of me, but not me. They were a part of my consciousness, but not my consciousness—like a hand is human, but not a human being.”

The above words are so important to me on a lot of levels. My hand is human, my flesh, my skin, and all of my body. But my body doesn’t make a human being. Something much more than flesh and bones makes a human being.

A body and soul make a human being. If you study the miracle inside my mind, you’ll see that the soul can win over the body, and that’s why I was able to overcome powerful emotional scars.

About Me

My photo
I believe that I can speak about emotional trauma, especially PTSD, in a unique way and give voice to those who may find it difficult to articulate what it's like to be emotionally traumatized. I had the experience of being put in the hospital at the age of two due to being ill with encephalitis. Ironically, encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain, and it was my brain that I needed to use to escape the horrible things that would subsequently happen to me. I was severely emotionally damaged at the age of two by what I believe to be the EEG that the doctors gave me. They put wires on my head and weren't nice about it. The trauma from the hospital experience incubated in my mind until I was seventeen years old. It was at that time that things got ugly. Images and feelings from the hospital popped in and out of my mind. I developed techniques to stabilize my mental state and then to ultimately overcome the emotional trauma. I did this without going for help or talking to anyone. I only kept a journal, "My only friend." If you'd like to learn more, you can go to my website, THE MIRACLE INSIDE MY MIND.
