Espero que estén disponibles para imaginarse lo que les voy a proponer. Imagínense un río, un río poderoso, caudaloso, que viene directo hacia ti. Imagínenselo. Este río es como el trauma. llega sin avisar, nos desdibuja, borra nuestros límites. Esos límites no son solo fronteras, son nuestros puntos de encuentro con el mundo. nos ayudan a reconocer, esto soy yo y esto no lo soy. Cuando hablo de trauma, hablo de, no hablo de experiencias trágicas, todos tenemos traumas más simples, más complejos, incluso es ...

My story begins. October 6th, 2021. I going into real estate. I hired a coach to teach me how to flip properties, fix them up, resell them. He doesn't live in my city, so I'm on a road trip. Highway, double lane, high speed at night, moonless, dark. I come around a curve slightly to the right downhill. And in the blink of an eye, everything changed. A 24year-old man is riding a pedal bike in the middle of my lane. Dark clothes, no reflectors. It happened so fast. I didn't have time to react. I couldn't swer ...

[Music] So, I'm kind of a quote nerd. I'm always getting that notification on my phone that my storage is almost full. And it is primarily because of screenshots of quotes that I've come across online.And if I'm being honest, pictures of my pug tank. The idea that something someone said decades or even centuries ago has the ability to impact our lives today is such a beautiful testament to the power of language. Three quotes in particular have most profoundly shaped my life that I would like to share with y ...

I had a young six-year-old who came in with a gunshot wound. He walked in, his mom brought him with a non-life-threatening injury, but could have been so much worse. No child should ever go through that.>> And what is it like treating people you know. >> Well, when we first got the call, we knew it was one of our residents who called us, so we knew he was there.
