Trauma response and putting up walls
And especially in a lot of these kiddos cases where they're very young, they can't even put a name to a lot of what they're feeling. And this really got me thinking about how they deal with these things, if they do, or if they're even able to. So I wanted to introduce this topic to all of you, my dear listeners, and to start a conversation about this. I don't feel like it's something that is talked about enough or acknowledged enough

Hi, Leanne. I just have to say that after listening to this one today, I really appreciate you doing this, truly. Because it not only spoke to something that I connected with in my own personal family history, but also things that I've been dealing with very recently within the last couple of days. For starters, like you and your students, who have both dealt with a lot of trauma in the family
Hey, you're welcome, Nick. Always glad to help. Yeah, social media can be an interesting thing. Good and bad. Definitely. Sorry that happened to you. It does suck. I don't know. People are different. Like I said, they're a trip. But somehow we got to learn to rise above it. And I do say somehow not easy, but definitely necessary. Anyway, thanks again for always listening and responding, and I wish you all the best. Bye

The important thing is, as you said, yes, to rise above it and to move on from it and learn from it, because that's all you can do, you know? But besides all that, or despite all of that, I still just enjoy being on social media and enjoy posting and putting out things for people to see and for people to know. Because I think it's important, as I'm sure you do as well. I always appreciate that you were always there to help

And I think if we took a minute to understand it and view it from the perspective that you've given here, that it is trauma response walls, that we don't always know what people are going through or what they've been through in the past or how they're feeling. We might think we know, but we're only seeing what version of them they wish for us to see
I've had to cut some people off because they've just been very toxic and not good for me, as much as I might care about them human to human, but it's just not a good family relationships. So, yeah, I was really appreciative, especially of that point that really hit home. And I also wanted to thank you for being you

I would say that even growing up as a person who would share a lot of personal details so openly, boundaries were not really something that I really used or really was taught necessarily. But as I've gotten older and since being online with social media, it's something I've at least realized that I needed to start doing. And I have found that it has helped
And again, I've had to cut out a lot of people from my life, and I don't like being that way, but it is a reality. It is the reality we live in, and it's what we need to do. So thank you again. I appreciate it, and I hope you have a good day. Bye

You. Hello. I I think that any person that has suffered trauma will most likely use the habit, I guess, of of building up walls. I know I certainly have, and that's continued through my whole life, and I'm 73 years old, so I suspect it will continue through the remainder of my life. And I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing
You. Thank you, jeremiah, for what you had to say. I really took it to heart. Like you, I'm pretty much the same. Well, I have to interact with the public. It's what I do as a special education teacher, and I definitely have to put on that facade. And, yes, like you, I let people know my opening chapters. That's not even an issue in terms of getting really deep down and nitty gritty another subject altogether. Yeah
