I am going to try again. I wrote a lenghly review but for some reason was rejected just like I was for most of my life. I am learning much from your podcast. I am on the other side of the spectrum. I am a trauma survivor. I believe that I finally know what my diagnosis should be. I think I must be a RAD survivor but it has continued in my adult life. I did not get the therapy I needed. I wonder how old I am emotionally I am 78 chronilogiaaly . I know that I lost two years of my life some where. When I met my husband t thought I was a young 46 turns out I was 48. That’s what trauma does to you. I want to give you a 10 star review if it wasn’t for you I still wouldn’t know my diagnosis. I believe that God used this time to train me to be an Empath and a Overcomer . The good that came out of this I share my testimony on face book.I give them hope . I chose to forgive those who hurt and abused me in every way possible. I am sharing your podcast with others. Your guest was right share with others what you have gone through. I discovered this when I was 77 in therapy finally. I would give a couple of suggestions for either foster care or adoption. If the child is old enough please include them in the decision. It’s bad when you’re adopted at the age of eight adoption nullified at the age of thirteen. This is what happened to me. The other suggestion is to limit the amount of kids you are fostering. Each child comes with their own unique challanges. I am facing new challanges everyday after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease last summer. I want to reach out to people while God allows me too. He gift me the gift of writing Christian Poetry another way to share my faith. My therapist is having me write my story. Most would have turned away from God I ran to Him. The point that I am trying to express there is still hope after trauma. Maybe my brain was damaged. I don’t know I just know that some of my . past memories are gone Paula Day
