traumatize | Trauma-ties

I am Rosa M Luna, and I am the author of Trauma-ties and this website. I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about the Trauma-ties book and warn you about its contents before you decide if you want to buy a copy for yourself or not.

Even though much of the information in Trauma-ties is about children, it is not a book intended for children in any way. It is about trauma and includes the story of my chain of trauma which started when I was raped and nearly died at 5 years old, which was only the beginning of my traumatic journey.

The book features my stories of trauma and those of my clients whom I have been blessed to serve and who have also suffered inconsolable trauma. This book is not for the faint of heart or those who are easily offended.

My prayer is that my life is an inspiration for those who are feeling helpless and/or hopeless if they have faced a lifetime of continued drama, trauma, and abuse like I have.

Thank God, I was able to suffer a horrific life, nearly died many times, and miraculously suffered physical abuse that should have left me dead or severely brain-damaged, including religiously inspired physical and sexual abuse. I was even f*cked by the priest regularly who ensured I was a virgin for doing so, just like the Mother Mary.

The church and abuse “in the name of God” is a huge problem in America and the world today. It is not just about sins committed in the name of God against women, which is heard of, but the sins against the children are far more pervasive than any church denomination or religion would ever admit to.

We are only now hearing some of the stories of those who were sexually abused by clergy, religious followers, and family members. This has been going on for thousands of years and has been hidden in secrecy, Only in our modern days are we starting to hear the stories being disclosed by adult victims of religious child abuse.

If you have suffered any kind of trauma, know this

You are not alone

and

There is hope for you

This is my life. I did not die, and I did not end up in prison for trying to defend myself. Instead, I made the decision to stop the abuse, which was a process. I went to college and started expanding my curandero skills which I inherited from my mother. I became a mental health counselor for the State of Oregon and continued my practice of serving mostly women and children victims of abuse.

I turned my traumatic past into a powerful passion-fueled life of service, helping those who feel like there is no hope for them.

Since then, I have retired, but I still remain inspired to reach out and continue to help trauma victims and those who serve them. I will be doing this until the last beat of my heart.

Now you will find me still sharing with people, encouraging them to turn their traumatic past into powerful futures as an Olympian Life Coach. Find happiness, and fulfillment, and contribute in special ways that they are more qualified for than any college-trained “professional.” They have sat in the offices of the professionally trained and were traumatized even more through the process.

But the therapeutic community is changing. I work with, train, and certify trauma advisors, who include my students, psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, coaches, and consultants who are positively impacting and spreading light and love throughout the darkness of trauma-ties among victims and empowering them to heal and help others as well.

If you decide to get my book, Trauma-ties, you can get it at any bookstore, or online at Amazon.com.

We are all still under quarantine and restrictions, the poor, sick, and weak. This virus has spread and now it is a global virus and the world as a whole is infected. “As a whole.” How did this happen? No one really knows. There are many questions, the elderly, children, and people, in general, are dying. How did this happen? Now dogs, too?

There are so many questions and no answers. Now, we have a vaccine almost a year later. I was watching some doctors on YouTube saying some of the doctors had discovered a cure early on when we first heard about coronavirus, but I did not hear anything more. Why is this virus hurting millions and millions of people, their jobs, and businesses? It is like a Horror movie, like the movie “outbreak”.

I was reading this article that said they were all excited because of the vaccine. There are two different vaccines, one from Pfizer and a second from Moderna. I understand that there are other vaccines that apply different approaches to taking care of the COVID 19, but the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) needs to approve them and are going through them as quickly as possible.

As I understand this, there have been some shipped and people have been vaccinated. Especially, with those people who are at higher risk.

Does this mean we can go back to our regular lives?

No.

A doctor, MD, and assistant professor from Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at St. Johns Hopkins School of Medicine said, “To put this crisis behind us and go back to life as we know it”, “we need 80 percent of the United States population to get the vaccine, and it could take a year.”

It was stated that some people will not be able to get the vaccine until June of this year. How traumatizing is that, for those who are affected with the COVID-19 today?

As I understand it, the vaccination will begin in three phases.

First Phase

Because there are limited doses right now, it will be given to the higher risk people first, the health workers, the elderly, and the nursing home staff.

Second Phase

Once there are more doses of the vaccine, they will continue with the high-risk population, and then the vaccine will be distributed to the clinics, doctors’ offices, pharmacies, and other medical facilities.

Third Phase

In phase three, and if there are enough vaccine doses, it will be available to everyone. It also depends on where you live, and who gets what.

Phases will vary by what state you live in. Those decisions will be made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, along with the Governments, the local ones, where you are living.

Are You Safe Getting the Vaccine?

It is claimed that 73,000 people who participated in the trials of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine clinical trials, did not experience “serious safety concerns.”

Also, you will probably need two doses of the vaccine. The longest the vaccines last is 21 to 28 days. You will still have to take precautions at least two weeks after the last vaccination. Just to be safe. Social distancing and wearing a mask and avoiding traveling.

These restrictions will still be required due to only 10 percent of people having the vaccine, they will not be protected from getting the COVID-19 and could be reinfected, yet it could be a good possibility.

The vaccine will cause body aches, chills, fever, and swelling in the vaccine shot area. They recommend not to take anti-fever medication or painkillers for at least six hours after your vaccine shot.

Once Vaccinated, Can I Go Back to My Normal Life?

No.

And here is why: The vaccine is not made to prevent you from contracting the virus. It is simply to prepare your body, as a defense, so that you do not become infected and resulting in a life-threatening illness. When the COVID-19 has eased its presence in your community, then officials or the FDA advisory panel from the COVID-19 may lift the restrictions.

Should I Worry About Allergic Reactions?

Yes.

They said if you are allergic to anaphylaxis. If people have an allergic reaction to food, drugs, or vaccines they should not take Pfizer’s vaccine. In mid-December 2021, The FDA will be working with Pfizer to make a determination on this point. The General reaction could be like being allergic such as reactions to eating peanuts or getting a vaccination for the flu. Symptoms could include hives, swelling of mucous membranes of mouth and tongue, difficulty breathing, a drop in blood pressure, and toxic shock.

I have taken vaccines that cause me to have muscle spasms, and I thought I was having a heart attack. That was the first time I had taken a vaccine, the second time I tried this again and my reaction was worse.

Making this decision will be a hard one for me.

May God bless us all and continue to protect us.
