"The Scary Power of Negative Words." - Sunday (TONIGHT) Warriors for Life (WFL) Virtual Group Support!

https://www.victoryforveterans.org/post/the-scary-power-of-negative-words-sunday-warriors-for-life-wfl-virtual-group-support

Please join Victory For Veterans (VFV) for Warriors For Life (WFL) TONIGHT, with your host Veteran, Mental Health Counselor, and Jungian Psychotherapist PO3 Christopher St. John, as he talks about the scary power of negative words.

TONIGHT's Topic: "The Scary Power of Negative Words."

Words have power. Their meaning crystallizes perceptions that shape our beliefs, drive our behavior, and ultimately, create our world. Their power arises from our emotional responses when we read, speak, or hear them. Just say the word “fire” while barbequing, or in the workplace, or in a crowded theater, and you’ll get three completely different but powerful emotional and energetic reactions.

Words are extremely powerful tools that we can use to uplift our personal energy and improve our lives, though we’re often not conscious of the words we speak, read, and expose ourselves to. Yes, even the words of others can easily affect our personal vibration. Spend a few minutes with a chronic complainer who uses all sorts of negative terms, and you’ll feel your personal energy bottom out. Words have great power, so choose them (and your friends) wisely!

COL Mikel J. Burroughs “Words” are also interpreted differently by men (speakers), and women (listeners)! Or vice versa!

Think first, then talk. Be willing to listen, communicate well, and be willing to offer a sincere apology.

I know that one well, and same here. Some of those words and actions of those people took half my life to get past. I was suffering from PTSD long before anyone even knew what it was, and long before I enlisted.

We often will remember the hurtful things the most. I have said things to hurt, no other purpose. Later, I had to make amends. Eating crow doesn't taste so bad if you make amends. PTSD is a constant battle to fight regardless of onset.

PO1 Lyndon Thomas - Mine began after enlistment - but had zero to do with military combat. Some of those words - 50 years later - I'm still not past. Sometimes I think I am - then something is said - and here we go again.
