How to get over a traumatic past?

Not sure so much about a full traumatic past, but for a traumatic event, highly recommend therapy and couples counseling (if you’re in a relationship). My wife and I had a stillborn and we wouldn’t have recovered as quickly as we did without it. The grieving took a good year (and still dealing with at times), but we are so grateful to have talked through everything.

First - it's hard to deal with trauma so sending encouragement to you. I agree about counseling. EY assist has a number to call and can help you find right type of therapist. I am glad you are asking for help. To Siegfried 1 - so sorry for your loss.

I don’t know you ever “get over” trauma, but therapy can help process it.

EMDR helped me, but there are a bunch of different therapy modalities that can be useful depending on your situation!

It take courage to recognize and to ask. I commend you.

The answer is it depends on your unique needs. Considerations that impact your healing include the severity and type of trauma.

There was a lot of addiction in my family so Adult Children of Alcoholics helped me. What helped the most was legal and safe psychedelic assisted therapy. I’ve also done traditional therapy, EMDR, and professional coaching (which is like cognitive behavioral therapy) but none of those modalities allowed me to unlock the trauma that was stored in my body nor get to the stuff my psyche had built a fortress around.

I love the work of Gabor Mate and the book the Body Keeps the Score.

Crazy ethics issue. Client 1 has VPO against man who later becomes Client 2. This is the 4th VPO this year, previous ones dismissed.

In the meantime, State has filed rape charges against man who becomes Client 2 and A/B charges against Client 1. Client 1 also files for divorce.

Clients reconcile (which is how they both end up clients...) and want VPO dismissed, divorce dismissed, and criminal charges dismissed.

DHS gets involved and want to remove the child from Client 1's custody. (1/2)

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)

Any advice welcome!

My sister and I have recently both come to the realization that our parents guilt us into spending time with them or visiting them and the guilt causes us both to shut down.

We’ve both noticed this shift in our relationship with our parents after graduating from college and starting our own adult lives. Continued
