Domestic Abuse | Trauma Recovery : The Gift of Freedom and Gratitude
“Survivors of abuse show us the strength of their personal spirit every time they smile.”
― Jeanne McElvaney
“Don't judge yourself by what others did to you.”
― C. Kennedy
"After two years I can finally drew a line under one of the most disappointing experiences of my life (facing and healing from extreme psychopathological behaviour from the person I cared for the most for her perpetual infringement of my expectations, norms, values, safety and quality of life - and the subsequent journey to accept that I cannot take responsibility for someone else's abuse towards me) ." ― Vernon Chalmers
Since my first year at university I was fascinated by (clinical / industrial) psychology and psychopathology - to a point where I became almost too overwhelmed with all the prescribed academic information (and research) available in understanding the 'sensitivity' in studying individual human behaviour characteristics (and the classification of various personality disorders with the many classic student / lecturer nature vs. nurture human behaviour development debates).
Perhaps, due to this (and to find a balance between clinical psychology and other personal interests in economics and organisational behaviour), I pursued industrial psychology, economics, various managerial science subjects and elected post-graduate studies (and lecturing) in industrial psychology, human resources management, organisational behaviour and business administration.

Over the past two years, due to various personal 'strategic inflections points' of abuse, loss and related trauma I persisted for almost two years with intermittent therapeutic journaling here on the Mental Health and Motivation website. Through this highly effective process (and medium) I narrated my own recovery journey (for also redefining the self through the comprehension of a toxic mind field of narcissistic abuse, personal loss and subsequent trauma recovery).
This extraordinary personal journey also facilitated a conscientious return to an existential interest in clinical psychology and neuroscience (with specific reference to emotional and cognitive intra-individual decision-making). Together with an extended range of peripheral research associations with regard to (undesirable) human behaviour dynamics and related trauma (of 'cause and effect') and impenitent psychopathological behaviour (towards me) I came to terms with definite antisocial characteristics challenging acceptable human behaviour expectations, values, standards and social norms.
Throughout this journey I maintained a keen awareness of how the international mental health community; academia, institutions, practitioners and other associated research practices continuously research, define, identify (and attempt to rehabilitate) psychopathology, human behavioral discomfort and / or disorders in the development of contemporary emotional wellbeing practices and techniques.
I am humbled by the efforts of thousands of wonderful and caring people associated with the broad international mental health support community for their continuous (and in many cases priceless) contributions, research (and / or interventions) for assisting anyone diagnosed (or who is struggling) with any kind of behavioral / mental discomfort.
The mental health fraternity and associated formal / informal support services desire for assisting someone (or a couple / family and / or community) with various mental challenges and / or the development of emotional wellbeing practices is one of the greatest gifts I have had the privilege to research, witness and be part of (in recently also assisting so many others here on the Mental Health and Motivation website with relevant research and resources).
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Awareness, Information and Research
"Each of us needs periods in which our minds can focus inwardly. Solitude is an essential experience for the mind to organize its own processes and create an internal state of resonance. In such a state, the self is able to alter its constraints by directly reducing the input from interactions with others." — Daniel J. Siegel

The goal of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience is to relate the genetic, neural, cognitive, and behavioral accounts of human development, devising theories that relate the different levels of observation seems crucial. (Source: ScienceDirect)
