William Head Inmates Heal from Trauma

The coarse (sic) opened a lot of past memories and things I tried to bury. Re-opening these life experiences helped to refresh some of the reasons I ended up here (in prison). Negative choices, a negative life style, all to cover my pain. This coarse (sic)….really helped me understand why I made such poor decisions. It is an “amazing” tool in my tool box to cope with trauma. My journal will help me improve my future.

The program was wonderful and helpful. I have rediscovered my love of art.  Looking at past decisions (I made) helped be seem them in a different light – from a different perspective. The Spiritual Steppingstones section and the Re-Openings of Road Taken and Not Taken were VERY helpful.

The most helpful part was the continued informal writing expressing oneself on paper – good or bad. Gave me meaningful thought that in my past I was lazy in my thinking and always felt negative. Being true to myself opens the door to spiritual steppingstones that I had lost when I was young. Re-opening this part of my life greatly improves my communication with others.

This course has helped me to re-cap everything (programs) I participated in throughout my sentence. The difference, from another perspective, is the non-judgmental, positive energy of the good bunch of guys in our group. I am free from my negative intensity.

It streamlined ways of looking at past events. Even “talking to” those events – opens them up in new and innovative ways. Great (tool) for unpacking my past and see events in a new light or from a different perspective. It will be an invaluable tool (my journal) to expand on.
