When Trauma Blocking Gets in the Way

Listen To Their Story – Ex-CIA Undercover Officer
The video below is titled "Former Undercover CIA Officer Talks War And Peace". While I was listening and watching, what was loudest to me is how this applies to everyday life, not just foreign wars. What if we listen to their story as a practice we all keep when trying to resolve conflicts with partners, lovers, friends, family, neighbors and co-workers?

...1 is 2 Many: Men Standing Against Sexual Assault
It is both inspiring and somewhat comical to be putting your focus in the same place as the White House. Pres. Obama and VP Biden have just released a new PSA as part of their, 1 is 2 Many campaign, including famous male actors, The President and Vice President themselves supporting and standing against sexual assault and violence towards women.
