2A Daily News – Tuesday, February 28, 2012 Community people&events Canned food drive Post traumatic growth We've all heard about post- trau- matic stress. Surviving, witnessing or somehow being a part of a stress- ful situation that goes beyond our coping skill sets and leaves us with a bag of symptomology to hold. The feelings and actions associated with the stress have become a disor- der that is recognized by your health provider and can be treated if diagnosed properly.

In my life study of all things people and success, I have discov- ered that the same incident experi- enced by multiple people will, in fact, have multiple outcomes. One person's tragedy will be another person's triumph. One person's failure will lead them into a never ending spiral of negative behav- iors and self-sabotage, while another person will use failure as a starting off point for a massive turn around. Trauma, stress, bad luck, crap- py experiences, being fired, left by a spouse, losing all your money, gaining weight, losing your edge, your friendships, your dog or what have you all have one thing in common. They are simply events in your life. It isn't the magnitude of the event that measures who you are, it's the way you recover from it that matters. You can sur- vive an event with post -traumatic stress or post-traumatic growth. Special to the DN The Marine Corps League, Detachment 1140 (Tehama/Red Bluff), Department of California Marine Corps League and the Commandant of the United States Marine Corps, Washington, D. C., each awarded Michael DeFonte Certificates of Accomplishment for attaining the coveted Eagle Scout.

DeFonte's parents, Robert and Lisa DeFonte, were also presented a Cer- tificate of Appreciation from the Marine Corps League for their long and very dedicated work with Those of us who have faced trauma and lived to tell a positive story are not bullet proof. The residual pain is real and so are the hang ups that develop. After living all of my first thirteen years with an abusive step parent, I grew into an adult woman who really rebelled against male authority. In relationships that seeped out as micro- managing my partner and in the work place it result- ed in alienating myself from promotions. In my personal weight story, being denied food as a child created multiple control issues that mani- fested in self destructive eating. I was living the quintessential post- traumatic stress disordered life. Somewhere in my thirties, after a divorce and a true desire to understand myself, I became aware of my habits and the root of them. As I attacked the feelings associated with how I was behav- ing, my life changed. I lost 100 pounds, I elevated my career and I started having better results in my relationships. All along the way, new experiences were being dropped into my life, but because I looked at the challenges and resulting situations differently, I was not in post- traumatic stress disorder, I was in post- traumatic stress growth. Now in my forties, I find that my resiliency in traumatic situations is something I am proud of. I find my willingness to see challenges as sim- ply situations that need solving something that has improved my quali- ty of life. Faydra Rector You Matter Humans are designed to be intellectual and emotional beings. Try- ing to find harmony in both areas is the key to avoiding post- traumatic stress disorder. Don't over think your situations and don't over feel them either. Every- thing just is until you attach a meaning to it. You control your growth or your disorder.
