Life After PTSD Podcast: Healing From Trauma

In this episode we welcome back Kim Krawczyk, teacher at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Coral Springs, FL.  With the Broward County School Board having announced that classes will be held online for the remainder of the year, teachers like Kim had to shuffle to transition to an entirely different style of teaching.  Even more significant, this represents yet another year where students at the high school face a traumatic ending.  Kim shares her perspective on what the kids are feeling and offers some encouragement for teachers everywhere. - The show is intended to provide encouragement for the listener but is for entertainment purposes only and NOT a substitute for proper treatment or to be used in any legal capacity whatsoever.

In this episode we welcome therapist Chris and client Samantha, who was in a long term abusive relationship with a boyfriend who not only sexually assaulted her, forcing her to have an abortion, but imposed curfews and systems of permission concerning what Samantha could or couldn't do as a human being.  Domestic violence is real and it's all around us.  Please be aware of your own situation but also your friends and family around you who may be victims themselves, in need of a lifeline. - The show is intended to provide encouragement for the listener but is for entertainment purposes only and NOT a substitute for proper treatment or to be used in any legal capacity whatsoever.

In this episode we welcome back special guest Scott Brook, Mayor of Coral Springs, Florida.  In these uncertain times of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), emotional health is perhaps more relevant than ever, with a panic stricken world suffering for relief.  As powerful and wonderful as reconnection can be, some among us need more care and the mayor is on a crusade to end the stigma and help them find it. -  The show is intended to provide encouragement for the listener but is for entertainment purposes only and NOT a substitute for proper treatment or to be used in any legal capacity whatsoever.

In this episode Kari joins Jeff & Shannon McLaughlin to welcome special guest Ryan December.  Ryan is a Wall Street Journal reporter based in New York and writes about financial markets, investing in energy, infrastructure and real estate and other Wall Street topics.  His upcoming book "Underwater" will be released on July 14, 2020 on Amazon (https://amzn.to/39RWK2B) and at all major booksellers.  In it he shows how decisions in New York and Washington played out on his street in a booming corner of the Sunbelt that was convulsed by the crash.  Instead of watching the U.S. housing market collapse from trading floors in Manhattan as in previous accounts, readers will witness the mortgage meltdown from his perch as a newspaper reporter, first in the boom-to-bust South and later in New York, among the financiers who are gobbling up suburban homes and profiting in the aftermath.  Jeff & Shannon McLaughlin were among those who saved up to purchase their first home in 2005 and continued to pay down their mortgage as they built their financial dreams, only to see all their equity and more evaporate by the consequences of Wall Street speculation and subprime lending.   To learn more about what actually happened in the 2008 housing bubble, see:  https://www.wsj.com/articles/my-10-year-odyssey-through-americas-housing-crisis-1516981725 https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-hedge-fund-makes-billions-off-americans-underwater-mortgages-11545742800 https://www.wsj.com/articles/meet-your-new-landlord-wall-street-1500647417 https://www.wsj.com/articles/so-you-make-100-000-it-still-might-not-be-enough-to-buy-a-home-11571149819 Additionally, check out "The Big Short" (movie) on Amazon Prime (https://amzn.to/2Qhky8c) and Netflix (https://www.netflix.com/watch/80075560).  Life After PTSD is produced by Jeff McLaughlin.  For production inquires: jeff@motormouthcreations.com Support the show at PATREON.COM/LIFEAFTERPTSD/ Please leave us a positive review on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-after-ptsd/id1448130626 Any rebroadcast or retransmission of an episode, without the express written consent of Life After PTSD, is prohibited. ©2020 Life After PTSD NLP, neuro linguistic programming, therapy, counseling, coaching, trauma, TF-NLP, trauma focused, veteran, military, armed forces, United States, war, wartime, marriage, family, children, adolescence, Consano Group, training, ART, EDMR, RTM, firefighter, first responder, relationships, intimacy, sex, romance, housing crisis, housing bubble, Wall Street, Wall Street Journal  Sponsorships: on for this episode --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lifeafterptsd/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lifeafterptsd/support
