Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions

Hello, welcome to the podcast of health and healing in the areas of addiction and abuse, with Michael. My passion and interest started with becoming aware that many of us have childhood traumas that we carry into our adult lives, but we didn't have them addressed or never acknowledged that we had an addiction or a mental illness. Some of the abuses, we suffered were slight or verbal that we just wrote off, other abuses were kept in secret for many years. Now we want to expose those lie-based beliefs, through tools and partnering with the Holy Spirit to help us heal those traumas and Illnesses to become whole. Hurt people hurt people, so we must seek ways to heal so that we can assist others in their healing processes. Disclaimer: * I am not a doctor or professional therapist. However, I am licensed and an ordained Minister, who's interest was piqued as it related to my personal journey and struggles with addictions and abuses that found their way into every aspect of my life unknowingly. God knows I'm a work in progress. Come along as we heal together.

  • Emotions as it relates to man. It starts as boys
    Apr 12 2026

    The trouble with boys. They're kinetic, maddening, and failing at school; all is a result of emotions that start as boys.

    This issue is twofold: 1st critically and 2nd the research.

    Men's emotions are given less importance. They are expected not to cry when they feel hurt or vulnerable because of their gender. 30% of men experienced depression at some point in their lives, and 9% are feeling depressed and anxious daily. However, it's difficult to express how he feels for fear of being labeled.

    Men compared to women encounter more external symptoms and these structures are likely related to gender differences in social interactions, coping, or treatment-seeking endeavors. These differences sometimes manifest differently as well. Men, when they repress their emotions, it can show up in violence and aggression towards others or anything within reach.

    Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral, physical, and mental health issues. It is especially hard if you are dealing with other personal, work, relationship, or family-related issues. Please be aware that it is okay to ask for help.

  • Florida Teen Shot and Killed
    Mar 28 2026

    It was a typical night for a teen who was visiting with his dad and bonus mom when he decided to go to the store to grab a snack. Returning home on the phone with his girlfriend, he was abruptly approached by a man that was patrolling the neighborhood.

    The kid and the man got into an altercation only after the man called the non-emergency police. Dispatch on the other side informed the man NOT to pursue the alleged suspect; the police would arrive soon.

    Before the police arrived, that altercation resulted in the man shooting the teen where he died on the scene.

    On this February night in 2012, the teen Trayvon Martin took his last breath—the events that followed rocked the nation. A nation that hasn't healed, reckoned with, or acknowledged the perils of brutality and injustice.

    Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral, physical, and mental health issues. It is especially hard if you are dealing with other personal, work, relationship, or family-related issues. Please be aware that it is okay to ask for help.

  • Understanding the Difference between Trauma and Crisis.
    Mar 27 2026

    Trauma and crisis are two terms that are often used interchangeably, yet they possess distinct differences. Exploring their impact on mental health, a traumatic event can trigger a crisis situation, and a crisis situation can potentially lead to lasting trauma.

    "Trauma" refers to the lasting emotional and psychological effects of a distressing or disturbing event.

    "Crisis" denotes an immediate threat or danger to an individual's safety or well-being.

    Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral, physical, and mental health issues. It is especially hard if you are dealing with other personal, work, relationship, or family-related issues. Please be aware that it is okay to ask for help.
