First Responder Trauma Recovery
The posts here at First Responder and Trauma Recovery will highlight the folks involved in professions that expose them to trauma at different levels.
Trauma is a concept that is fairly new, having evolved in the last 20 years and it has it’s impact on the relationships it touches go far beyond those professionals originally traumatized.
These first responder groups include, but are not limited to: Psychotherapists, Weather Forcasters, Storm Chasers, Corrections Personnel, Law Enforcment, Emergency Dispatchers, Active Military, Veterans, Emergency Room Physicians, Nurses, EMT Personnel, Firefighters, Teachers, Morticians, Medical Examiners, Social Workers, Pastoral Staff, and Hospice staff to mention just a few.
We want to explore why these particular types of jobs expose individuals to both short and long term traumas as well as give some definitions of trauma and outline of the main symptoms experienced.
We will also provide useful links to other helpful resources.
We welcome feedback and suggestions for adding additional professional groups that are trauma exposed, and any additional links to other related sites.
Believing – After Divorce
Divorce can rob you of your faith in life. You can find yourself wanting to stop believing in things like marriage, love, family, in God or even worse…in your own worthiness as a man or woman.
Music and music that contains inspiring lyrics, often helps give us hope and gives us a focus that helps us heal from traumas such as divorce.
I have included the music and lyrics by Lyrics by LeAnn Rimes to her song “I Believe”, sung by Elvis Presley to this post. I hope you give it a listen!
Here are the lyrics and the song as sung by Elvis Presley
Here is the I Believe video: https://www.youtube.com/wa ch?v=sfMMpHscPmQ
I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows,
Then I know why I believe.
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
I believe for everyone who goes astray
A candle glows.
Someone will come to show the way.
I believe,
Oh, I believe.
I believe above the storm
The smallest prayer will still be heard.
I believe that someone in that great somewhere
Hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry,
Or touch a leaf
Or see the sky,
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry,
Or touch a leaf
Or see the sky,
Then I know why I believe
Without believing in a future that exists beyond divorce or separation, or any type of loss for that matter, you are at risk of losing sight of your personal meanings in life that are critical for your healing.
In the process of opening yourself up to the raining down of your tears, the thundering noise from the legal process, and the lightning like pain to your heart, it is possible to appreciate that the simple and free things in life, you can come to believe in something beautiful again.
Looking beyond your current emotions, and outward to that “great somewhere”, often has the power to eclipse painful losses, allowing you to discover, that amid the storms of divorce or lost love relationships, or financial loss, there exists a quiet certainty and peace.
That certainty can be discovered free for the taking like the sound of a baby crying or the sound of the falling leaf that quietly flies down to the earth in a gentle breeze.
These types of things are gifts to the heart and soul that can serve to remind you that you need to look to the power of belief in your life.
