In this episode we will talk about why separating PTSD in categories (stages in the last episodes) is so important and needed for everyone involved. A system of categories that tell the patients where they are, so they know what to expect and what they need.

In this episode we will talk about the question that is important to the way we treat PTSD and in society: Is there a difference between military and civilian trauma? Luckily it is no longer a question if only soldiers get PTSD, but there have been some muddied water and confusion on those different situations. I think it is very important to understand this point, as this leads to confusion and to a lot of dead ends. So let us shed some light and talk about it. Transcript : www.johannadraconis....

Hello my dears, I’m sorry to say that I just can’t record an episode. Down with a nasty cold, which sadly makes my voice not work properly… and recording the episode in cough code would take a bit too long. I am mostly fine, which is why I HAD hoped I could record it in time, but alas it was not meant to be and I had to admit defeat, as much as I hate it. Hope you are all better than me and in a good place Take care and watch yourself Johanna Transcript : www.johannadraconis.com/episode-81-100 C...

In this episode we get into the age old question of "Why do I sabotage myself?" - or keep if you repeately doing it. Despite our best efforts we seem to run into the same issues again and again. It happens to many, but especially those affected by PTSD can end in a loop or worsening their situation or the like. So why do we do it? Why does it fail? We need to break the cycle, which starts with talking about it. So let us talk about it. Transcript : www.johannadraconis.com/episode-81-100 Contact ...

Hello my dears, I am sorry to say that I have to skip this episode again, because I am sick. I hope it is just a regular cold.

In this episode we will talk about something most of us go through when they start uncovering the trauma - and what it is connected with. The truth we once believe crumbles and in worst case - we are only left with rubble. This is one of the most bitter and harshest truth, but how do we go from there? Even if it just an aspect of your life that needs to change, it is good to know in what direction to head. So let us talk about it.

Hello my dears! First I just wanted to say I hope you had a wonderful holiday season - independent from the form or shape you choose to celebrate it. Though sadly it is that especially in this season we get a lot of dark thoughts - be it because of the darkness or for the chance to reflect what we have, had and could have. Or remind us of “things”. Often we are forced to put on a face - I hope it wasn’t necessary this year. All oft his can make you feel incredible lonely, alone and isolated. I f...

In this episode we tak about being raised to be a victim - it doesn’t really matter if it is intentional or not. (Not grooming) Many people wonder why they are prone to fall for predators or why they have such a hard time to stand up for themselves or why they are just such a doormat or the like. This leads often to feeling of strong insecurity, vulnerability and so on. Many don’t really know why they are like that. So it is important we talk about it.

Hello my dears, I REALLY tried to avoid this, but there is no way around this sadly. I am sorry, I should have recorded it earlier - but as mentioned I am VERY stubborn and refused. I am very sick, the seasonal flu, kept me basically in bed the last weeks - I was actually surprised I could record last weeks episode. It is caused by the situation I am in and I hate every minute of it, but I rather give myself a bit more rest than to push too early. So, I hope to see you soon and please stay well,...

In this episode we talk about a topic I keep running into - especially with men: Why can’t I change my emotions with logic? Despite logic being a useful tool to keep emotions in check and use them responsible as an adult - it isn't helpful in dealing with the source of our emotions. We talk about the difference between logic and emotions - and how we change the latter.

In this episode we talk about what kind of life is worth living, as this question usually comes up during the PTSD period. We are comparing the argument "Surviving - Life is precious on its own" and "Living - Life needs to be worth living" and at the end have some final words about it. I think it is an important topic to talk about, despite being quite ab it of taboo. It is a question we need an answer for - for ourselves.

The only good news is, that it will be over in the next days - one way or another. After that I should also be finally more active again. It has been a very long fight and struggle.
