New videos on getting over trauma

I have released a series of three free videos on myths about trauma and PTSD and on post-traumatic growth.

This might be helpful for retuning Iraq veterans, but it is designed to be helpful for anyone who is struggling with the aftereffects of trauma.



Half Evil

I just came from the supermarket, where I passed a guy with a t-shirt that read:

333

Half evil

An Inclusive T-Shirt

I laughed, but also thought the shirt’s message was a nice way to point to inclusion. I have spoken and written about this subject many times. Most situations and people are not one thing or one way; they are a mixture of dark and light; good and evil; hope and despair; wanting to change and fearful of change.

It’s good to be reminded of that, especially with a little dose of humor.

And that’s my thought for the day.

Bill on The Today Show on St. Patrick’s Day

Out of the blue, I was invited to be on The Today Show on Monday, March 17, 2008. Since I am already on the East Coast (I’m in D.C. at the Psychotherapy Networker Symposium teaching until Sunday), I agreed. A few people I have mentioned this to wanted to know how it happened. I was contacted by a writer asking me to comment on some Irish proverbs (I had never heard any of these proverbs) and their relevance to relationships. The resulting article was published in Women’s Health magazine and timed to come out in time for St. Patrick’s Day. Since I have an Irish background and name and am male, they wanted to know whether I would come on The Today Show for a “He Said/She Said” segment featuring the theme and Women’s Health editor/columnist Nicole Beland. I don’t really have a current book to hawk, so I plan to just have fun with it. They tell me it will be on during the 10 O’clock hour.
