  • Summary

  • Humbly sitting and assisting others in healing from severe trauma, I have spent my career understanding the human psyche and its response to suffering. My clients say: “It is sad that we have to sever a spinal cord or be amputated to care where we land on the Humane Spectrum!” Today, my Intentional Evolution app offers evidence that our shared inner journeys have a common theme: everyone experiences division. I am suggesting that people have to heal their inner division before repair appears in the culture. Then, and only then, can we connect, be empathetic, and have a reciprocal relationship with ourselves and others.

  • How Trauma Hinders Emotional Healing

    How Trauma Hinders Emotional Healing
    Nov 8 2024
    Tune into a discussion about author and trauma psychologist Ernie Vecchio, as we explore the ways in which he feels trauma can hinder emotional healing. He posits that our survival instincts, while beneficial in times of crisis, can lead to emotional suppression and avoidance of self-reflection. His teachings highlight the role of the ego in shielding us from painful emotions, and how this defense mechanism, though initially protective, can become a barrier to authentic living. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of cultivating an "inner observer," a compassionate part of ourselves that helps us acknowledge and move beyond these survival-driven defenses, allowing us to embrace our past while finding lasting peace and fulfilling our potential.

  • The Roots of Self-Esteem

    The Roots of Self-Esteem
    Nov 8 2024
    A discussion of The Roots of Self-Esteem by author and trauma psychologist Ernie Vecchio. He proposes that childhood experiences deeply shape an individual's self-esteem. He posits that harsh judgment, neglect, or criticism from caregivers can wound a child's developing sense of self-worth, leading to internalized shame. This shame can manifest in adulthood as self-protective behaviors like perfectionism or people-pleasing, ultimately reinforcing negative self-perception. Vecchio emphasizes the detrimental impact of such early experiences on an individual's emotional well-being and overall sense of self.

    Nov 8 2024
    A discussion of Ernie Vecchio, a trauma psychologist, who argues that we often hold onto illusions that, while seemingly comforting, ultimately hinder our personal growth and fulfillment. He proposes embracing our mortality, finding worth within ourselves rather than seeking external validation, and accepting our imperfections as part of our humanity. Vecchio emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment, finding meaning in ordinary experiences, and approaching challenges with compassion and understanding. By letting go of illusions, we can experience a more humane and meaningful existence.
