    logo_mentalhealthawarenessweekSedona AZ (July 11, 2017) – If you’ve survived a traumatic experience, then you may have built your entire life in such a way that you completely avoid being triggered by sensations that remind you of the event. What is a pseudo drama? How does it impact your life? What does it take to overcome them? What are the benefits of embracing real life dramas? How do we embrace real pain? What is the difference between pain that serves and pain that destructs? What do we do when a friend or loved one is experiencing a pseudo drama? These and more questions will be answered by Jo Standing, featured speaker on Mental Health Monday.

    Sponsored by the Mental Health Coalition Verde Valley in partnership with OLLI, the meeting will take place on Monday, July 24, 9:30-11AM at Yavapai College Sedona Center, 4215 Arts Village Dr., Sedona. Jo Standing will be live on Zoom from the East Coast. Her presentation, “Conquer Trauma Drama” is free and open to the public.

    Jo Standing is an author, a speaker, classroom facilitator, spiritual warrior and certified professional coach. She has taught for over 10-years and over 10,000 hours. She is the daughter of an Army Veteran who mostly raised her, although she was also his caretaker throughout her childhood, as he ailed for most of it. Strength is not just a word to Jo, it is a way of being, and is believed by her to be everyone’s birthright. Jo believes the inner wounds of a warrior are not meant to be stuffed-away, or hidden, but instead used as signposts and guides to live a full, whole and rewarding life. She has written “Conquer Trauma Drama: Get Your Life Back,” “Conquer Trauma Drama: Breakthrough Curriculum” and her third book will be released in December 2018 – “The Power of PTSD: Empowered Through Pain.” Her work has been the subject of articles in USA TODAY and the Huffington Post. Jo offers workshops and speaking forums to youth, military and corporations to assist the audiences to end the cycle of drama within their own lives, discover their life purpose and to recover their resilience during and after life’s greatest challenges.

    Following the presentation, the Coalition will conduct its business meeting from 11AM-Noon. The public is invited to stay and learn about the work of the Coalition.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
