Map Your Healing Journey

Oy. Technology. It took me half a work day to make this video so I AM SHARING IT EVERYWHERE.

Why did it take me four hours? Okay, first, do you know that kid’s book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie? If not, find it and read it because it applies to so much of life. I read it to my kids when they were little, and I was like, “THIS BOOK IS ABOUT MY LIFE.” I submit the following:

If you want to make a video, first you have to wash your face, brush your hair, and look halfway presentable.

If you want to make a video about grief recovery, you have to read the first chapter and take notes.

If you want to make a video about the Grief Recovery Method, you have to use Powerpoint to make slides with the template that the organization provided.

If you want to use Powerpoint, you have to REMEMBER HOW to use Powerpoint.

If you want to post a video to Youtube, you have to add subtitles because that’s the decent thing to do.

If you want to add subtitles, you have to find software that can automatically add subtitles to the video on your computer.

If you want to use that software, you have to LEARN HOW to use it.

If you want to edit the video, you have to REMEMBER AND LEARN how to do it.

If you edit the video, you have to WAIT FOR IT TO PROCESS.

If you think there’s a problem after an hour of waiting for processing, YOU DELETE THE #$&&*%%# VIDEO AND JUST START THE UPLOAD PROCESS AGAIN.

Are you laughing? Please tell me that you are, I know I am!

Plus, this turned out well enough that I’m going to make two more – “What is Trauma Recovery?” and “What is PTSD Remediation?”

And I won’t have to learn how to do it, because I learned today! Until then, enjoy my if-you-give-a-mouse-a-cookie, tear-your-hair-out video about Grief Recovery!
