@angieholt736 It has to do with things that possibly happened in their childhood to cause them to destroy their minds and bodies. It often comes a strong belief in they are not worthy and a strong belief in self punishment. There are ways out by going to 12 step programs and getting in contact with your higher power to feel the unconditional love living inside all of us. Forgiveness is also essential. Without forgiveness, we can't vibrate to higher consciousness and self love. We all need to find who we really are by going within. We are all SOUL. And soul consciousness has nothing to do with this physical world and the unbelievable events that take place here. Get help. You deserve love. The program works if you work it. Wishing you all the best.

she tored the pic of pope that was the point of departure of karma

Thank you Tamara for this video, I’m male, from Ireland and my childhood was very similar to Sinead. I agree with you totally, all our problems stem from childhood abuse, but I will say, about Sinead tearing up the picture of the pope, when you are in an abusive household, with no way out, no-one to turn to and you suffer at the hands of those who are meant to love and care for you, you have no voice. This scenario develops an inner determination for the truth, you will not stand back and watch injustice take place, you will speak out, no matter what the cost is to you, for this alone, I will never forget Sinead O Connor. It really hit home when you referred to Sinead as your sister, I always thought of her as my sister. My only saving grace from all this, was the hunger for the truth, which led me to spirituality, which saved my life, got me off drink and drugs and gave me a life of sorts. I too am an artist, funny when you have no-where else to go, you turn inside, that’s the meeting place for God, it is from there that all creativity comes. Again thank you for this video.

Your response resonates with me at such a deep level! When I was a child, I turned to God/sprituality as I intuitively knew I couldn't trust my parents. We turn inside is correct. I believe it was my spiritual path that led to developing my methods for healing trauma. Truth hunger. The refusal to be silenced. The refusal to continue to suffer when I knew I was worthy of happiness. All of these things pushed me to keep going in spite of discouragement. It's what makes Sinead beautiful. Thank you for your words, brother! ❤

I love your comment. I, too, turned to spirituality, and to my inner creativity. I’m a poet, and I think that has saved my life. I loved Sinead, and I was absolutely thrilled when she tore up the picture of the pope, even though I knew it would probably ruin her career, which it pretty much did. She always said that it didn’t, but I thought she should’ve been more famous. She was amazingly talented. Anyway, I’m sorry to hear about your childhood. Mine was horrible, too, and I love this video because this woman cares, and I care also, and I hope that we all can learn to advocate for ourselves. Good luck to you. I hope you can find peace and happiness. I wish that for all of us who went through hell when we were kids. 💕💕

Thank you both for your replies, I do believe Sinead was well aware the pope incident damaged her career, but to be honest I don’t think she cared, it was more important for her to speak the truth. As she always said herself, she was a protest singer, not a pop star. If you ever need inspiration of bravery, look for the video of Sinead going on stage as a guest with Kris Kristofersen, (probably not spelt right) shortly after the picture tearing, a large part of the crowd booed and would not stop, preventing her from performing, she stood her ground, I wonder how all those people feel now. One of the things that hit me first when I delved into spirituality, was the flow of poetry that kept spiralling down to me, before I couldn’t string two sentences together. The most annoying thing about theses discussions is the realisation how common abuse is, for the large part the human race is quite mentally ill. I wish you both a very fulfilling life and pray you find inner peace, and always remember we have the strength to get through anything.

And God bless Kris Kristofferson for coming out to help her. It took so much courage for her not to sing the Dylan song she was supposed to sing, but rather, yet again, say what she was feeling inside and what the truth is. And you’re right; she often said she didn’t really want to be a famous popstar anyway, but so much negative reaction to her bravery hurt me at the time because I thought she was so awesome for speaking up. and yeah, most people are so messed up that our mental health system, if you can even call it a system, does practically nothing for people in need. We’re on our own so we have to help each other.

Take heart that if you strive to do the best you can for the right reason in as many ways as you can, that it does count. I said I understand you, because I also see little evidence of 'true' decency in people towards their fellow man on a daily basis, I strongly refuse to join the ranks of the negative attitude or action, I try my best for my self respect and care of others however I spend much time by myself quite disillusioned by society on the whole.. I don't watch TV, I don't do social media, I avoid trivia and gossip, so it makes me, in the eyes of others who live their lives doing all those general things, simply unwelcome, because I speak up and they do not like their narrative being questioned. I tend to research for worthwhile information, the snag is finding someone to discuss it with, who gives a toss...😂 Don't lose hope, there's so much good information as is in this video on You Tube...

Thank you Tamera for your beautiful presence. You and I share a similar story. You nailed it. I’m just now learning about childhood trauma and the effects. Your message in this video is truly spot on. I watched Sinade’s interview with Dr. Phill McGraw and learned so much about her in her interview. I remember thinking to myself after watching it how deep and heavy the trauma she was experiencing was. It immobilized her and robbed her of the joy she should have been able to experience in her life. I had an incredible therapist who never gave up on me. And, when I was suicidal he told me something that I will always remember, “ this will get better, hold on to that hope, and if you can remember one thing while in those thoughts of ending your life, you deserve to experience the good days that lie ahead” The one thing he thought me that literally gave me hope was the understanding of how words can open so many doors to healing. Words that are used to explain the loop in our heads of the memories of the trauma and how we re live them over and over as adults. I was having attachment issues and couldn’t let go of the pain from certain failed relationships. The word he used to describe this pattern was that I would become ‘immobilized’. YES!! I thought, I was stuck in the trauma of abandonment, it wasn’t that the ‘guy’ was ‘the one’ and I again lost out on a great love!! It was that I got stuck in the loop of abandonment trauma. When he uttered that word ‘immobilized’ that was the moment I had clarity from the shame of not understanding why I was hurting so badly. The therapist and I went on to uncover more hot spots in my emotional recovery ❤️‍🩹 and he will forever be the earth angel who helped me to live. I can manage my emotions with understanding why they are arising. I still have some moments when I am around family members but, I am able to cope with better and get through them with understanding and love 💕. Words spoken by someone who has empathy can be the salve to our broken souls. ❤ You encompass those healing words and your beautiful empathy for the well being of others is healing many right now. Much love to you sister in spirit. You were and still are a vigilante advocate for your sister and others. Even in her death her story will live on to help heal others. May you continue to live your life seeking the joy art, and the new discoveries that lie ahead. I honor your decision to pay homage Sinade by shaving your head. You are truly beautiful!! ❤

Hi, I'm in Ireland. We don't have a mental health system here. Back in the 80's and 90's the terms mental health were taboo and generally we had a system which incarcerated (and still does to some degree) people suffering from any kind of trauma related health disorders. The incarceration was typcally done under supervision of religious orders (and continues to be in many circumstances) Sinead was instituted in a Magdelen Laundry for shoplifting at 15. She was then sent to reformatory school, as a border where her love for music was nurtured and gave her a door to freedom, following her mothers death in a car crash at 18. Being locked up for mental health related issues was used as a threat to subdue and silence often very grievious abuses, hence Sineads opposition to religious institutions here back in those days. We also had a serious pub driven social scene so alcohol and soft drugs were common forms of self medicating, practically on a national level. While some services became more available over the last 20 years or so, Ireland lags behind most of the western civilized world in terms of mental health treatment. Most therapies are provided through semi state backed voluntary sectors, as our national health service is unable to cater suitably for even the most debilitating conditions including more serious forms of Autism and childhood disabilities. Private treatment is difficult to obtain and even more difficult to maintain, as our public health service is not linked in with private health sector. I don't know if it's true but in the movie the departed Matt Damon claims that Freud suggested “This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever.” - Some claim this Freudian quotation was derived from a phrase by one of his followers. This student of Freud claimed that the Irish, when in psychic trouble, go to poetry, go to storytelling, or to escapism. and that he Irish have no interest in picking apart their own brains. I sometimes wonder if there is truth in it as the the last ten years has become a battleground of attemtping to label and define who we are by means of adopting a" theraputic identity" to suit a given narrative. Yes, Sinead clearly suffered and was troubled and God love her, got stuck in a moment as Bono would say, and found it impossible to get out of. I think we have a long way to go before we begin to unravel the consequences of importing American trends toward treating mental health here. Sometimes we feel like we are guinea pigs, as Sinead's continuously evolving diagnosis demonstrate. Surely, we have more to offer than attributing primacy to dysfunctional causality ( a troubled childhood, cptsd) and begin to navigate a more optomisitc approach to unifying our common distresses, because living in this world, no matter our upbringing or traumas, is for most of us a difficult, painful and isolating ordeal at the best of times. When we can seek confluence, rather than gorging ourselves on dystopian narratives that feed on pain, suffering and injustices, we will begin healing ourselves.

@@Lyrielonwind Irish mothers are notoriously hard handed, most of them being inducted into the role of Catholic child bearer of multiple kids at a very young age. Times were always tough and the 80's we're no exception. We had an incredibly high rate of unemployment and poverty which led to mass immigration. Being a child then is very different to today. We were raised like all the other Gen X'ers in the world, like feral animals, we were wild and also free, we took on greater responsibilities as children and learned fast and hard very young. Corporal punishment and discipline was normal and legal in schools and homes, and often, at least in Irelnd, alcohol played a significant part in at least one parents life. Abuse was rife, not to minimise it but it was normal. I was no different to many others in that regard and suffered at the hands of my mother, she is still alive. I also had an older sister who transfered her suffering onto my life, causing incredible amounts of pain. I am very aware of the violence of women. I have spent many years in various kinds of therapy, including somatic trauma therapy so I'm familiar with the process. Sinead always said that the song Nothing compares to you always reminded her of her mother and that is who she sang it for everytime. That it was what brought her close to her and the only time she could be with her. I'm sure Prince wrote it in the full knowledge that would be the emotional fuel for the ballad and what ultimately catapulted it and Sinead to the front of the stage. It woud make sense that when that energy had somewhere to go, when it was channeled into something, the power of it could heal nations. Do you not look around at this earth, that's quite literally on fire and not ask yourself why is our mother burning? When you reject the mother, you turn away fom the power of the divine feminine within you and that is the seat of all our creative abilities and sensitvies. Our power to love, empathise intuit and nurture. Literally all the tools you need to help extinguish that fire.

Thank you for sharing this. And, I agree with you . . . . identifying that childhood trauma is a root cause is only the beginning. Knowing where to look for the origin is simply a path toward healing ourselves - taking education from the pain in order to dispel the myths kept alive by dystopian narratives. As Sinead said, we must speak our truths in a way that allows us to hear our inner voice and take compassionate, loving action that heals. I so appreciate your insight into the Irish culture and pray for healing. xo

I cannot tell you how much i relate to all you said because as an abused child myself then later in life i got into an abusive relationship and at 60 years old i am still dealing with the demons but have a deeper understanding of my mental health. Listening to Sineads music and reading her book was like therapy for me as it resonates deeply and i was hit hard by her passing. Thank you also to you for speaking such truth as i feel heard and understood. The root causes need to be dealt with for the healing to happen. I have felt that mental illness is still not taken as seriously as physical illness and of course both can be a problem with a history of abuse and trauma. So sorry for the loss of your sister🙏💚much love from UK Ps writing poetry has been such a life saver for me as well as listening to music and being in nature. So glad your art helps you xxx

I’m sorry for the loss of your sister. May she rest in peace. I’m annoyed at some of the headings around Sinead O’Connor’s life around ‘troubled’. Which points it to her being the problem. Rather than abused. She had so much love. She was love. How wonderful she was! She is in all of us! I do not believe she suicided. I do not believe she quit. High profile people who speak out about child sexual abuse on a large scale etc often mysteriously suicide . It’s happened to quite a number of American entertainers. The same with her son. 🙏🙏🙏

I felt so bad for Sinead O'Connor. All her bad experiences. I related to her constantly. But I was kept against my will by drs. I'm a widow and my child and I are estranged. She knew all about my mental background.. I had this childhood trama the hospitals the medication etc. I know how Sinead suffered. My mother was abusive only to me not my other siblings. Not sexually. But when I feel sad I never get suicidal. never have never will. But poor Sinead let it take over. rip you lovely loved person. I'm so into her music. Her coolness. Love her.

Thank you for talking about the subject of physical and psychological abuse, as I suffered from this as well as a child, and continued to have abusive relationships as an adult. It all correlates as the same patterns repeat unconsciously throughout life. I never took any medication for anxiety, but became interested in spiritual practices such as yoga, meditation, Reiki, etc.. I also learnt Swedish massage and Shiatsu (a form of body therapy) which help to release stuck energy (trauma) from the body. By becoming a healer I intuitively felt that I was healing myself. It has helped me along the way, although anxiety and lack of confidence never completely left me. I also found refuge in nature and gardening, and lately I have started to paint too. Painting has helped me to express myself and to find my voice. Healing from trauma is a lifelong journey, and it is indeed important to share these experiences and never to give up. The more it is talked about the better. It is society as a whole which needs healing, not the individual in isolation. The American Indians knew this.

Thank you for your words and for never giving up!

There’s an interview with Sinéad by a lady called Ruby something in which she talks about how misdiagnosed and mimedicated was. It’s worth watching. What caused her death was the life she had. And the way she was treated by many around her, in personal, familiar and working relationships. She was mocked and abandoned by so many, but as you say, she fought. She fought up to the moment she could take it no longer. Whatever physical reason led to her death, the real core is easy to identify: it was the dispair, the regret for her lost childhood, her banning from the media and ultimately thee death of her son. It’s a tragedy that those avoidable facts can take away such a talented beautiful soul. The whole world loses a precious human being who gave us so much while enduring pain. Thanks a lot for this video - it’s time we reflected more seriously and responsably on this matter. Take care

Thank you for discussing such an important subject. People need healing with understanding the depth of how they have been affected. It’s not the fault of the people that were impacted though they suffered the consequences. This type of video provides a ‘brief’ understanding, Sinéad was a warrior. She needed more support. It’s about support. Let the healing happen. 🙏🏼

A brief understanding that *hopefully* will inspire some to seek more healing through support and education. Thank you for your comments.

Thank you for this. I recently went through a ridiculous assessment and diagnosis and I'm furious but at the time I was already in crisis and it made everything worse. I hate hate hate our system. I'm advocating for myself. I filed a formal complaint. Thank you again for your raw honesty.

Thank you for addressing this. About your own experience and remembering Dear Sinead in this context... I discovered 8.5 years of dream like happiness when I had my dog Tenzin and made a living petsitting ( after quitting my full time job) Tenzin and my life with fellow furry guests made me SO happy, however, a tiny voice inside my head was telling me that I was living a lie (sort of). I realised what that meant when Tenzin passed, Covid happened, I caught the virus and to top it all , all my childhood trauma from a very abusive mother, being sent away to boarding school, failed relationships, high pressure job, all had created a monster within that unleashed itself with full force. I thought I did not have long to live as I struggled. Two years have passed and I am realising that most of it was severe PTSD and weakness of my whole being through Covid. I instinctively relocated to a very quiet place full of fresh air and serenity and that is how I think I am healing but by bit. This was the first'time I actually understood what CPTSD is and how it maims us in so many ways...its going to be a long journey ahead for me for sure. And no guarantee if it will ever be okay . Your story resonates with me SO much! And SO happy you have started Art. Just returned to my ART and it's SO helpful. Watercolor seems SO therapeutic to me as the paints gently flow over paper...

It’s really nice art that you do! And you’re a beautiful soul! You are my sister too! SINEAD was gone far too early but she was bold as a spirit warrior, and we have her art as songstress and author to remember her for ever! And that’s her positive legacy!

Yeah, it is so terrible that she was not able to get the help she so needed. She was such an inspiration in my life. I feel so much of her struggles.

A Witness of Abuse is a Victim of Abuse. Trauma is created from a feeling of powerlessness over an unbearable situation....it's a natural, understandable, whole body/mind/Spirit reaction. You speak TRUTH....so clearly!

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for making this video. Sinead’s death hit me very hard as well. I had a very abusive childhood also and you’re absolutely right that it lives in the body and takes its toll. I’ve dealt with ongoing health problems all my life, but I’m 68 and I’m still here. I had a long bout with chronic fatigue syndrome though, and spent probably about 13 years in bed, 9 of them straight in a row. And you’re absolutely right about relationships bringing up the trauma because I was in a long-term relationship when I was young and it somehow brought everything to the surface because I had what they used to call a nervous breakdown. I recovered and started to have a “normal“ life until I got married, and then here came the trauma symptoms again. That’s when I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and spent so many years too ill to have any fun with my husband, who was the sweetest person in the world. He took care of me until he had a psychotic break from Lewy body dementia with Parkinson’s, which he developed as a result of being exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam, where he did not want to go (institutional abuse). That got me up out of bed, even though it took me a while to get stronger, but I was able to care for him during the four years he suffered until he passed away almost 2 years ago now. The mental health system definitely fails us, and my mom was mentally ill, but all they did for her was put her in a facility, now and again, and give her shock treatments, which did nothing but wipe away her memories. She suffered from anger and depression, all of her life. She was emotionally abusive, but I forgive her, because I know she didn’t do it on purpose. Again, I want to thank you for making this video because I feel devastated by Sinéad’s death. We played one of her songs at our wedding. She was indeed our sister. I love the way you put that. And may I offer my deepest sympathy for the loss of your sister. My older sister also suffered abuse at the hands of my mom, but she did not suffer the sexual abuse that I underwent from an uncle. But she has suffered from lupus for the last 20 years and now she has Alzheimer’s. She’s my last family member and I’m terrified of losing her. But she made it through pretty well because she will turn 80 in November! Her quality of life is horrible though. Thank you again. This is very self-validating. I’m tired of being called neurotic or phobic or anxious, even though I am all of those things, but what I really am is a survivor of tremendous abuse and no one acknowledges that. I’m glad to hear that you’re doing something for yourself, and I will check out your other videos. I’m so glad I saw this. It was a pleasure to meet you and I applaud you for being vulnerable. Love each other! And love ourselves! 💕💕

I was born in New Zealand in November 1966, and relate to oh so much of what you articulate so beautifully.. and so painfully. I am greatful to Sinead for waking us all up to the issues of childhood trauma and adult mental health. I too, relate to Sinead O’Connor, and feel such a strong sense of kinship. I too, stand with her, with you, and with so many other sisters who grew up in this era. Thank you for being a voice for so many of us. I applaud you. PS.. I have been listening to Sinead’s songs and focusing on the lyrics ever since I heard about her tragic passing. I thoroughly recommend her rendition of ‘hey Jude’. It’s like a sacred prayer sung by an angel.. goosebumps every time. 💔🌷

Thank you and many special blessings for you 🙏😔💜🎶😇🦋

Thank you ever so much for this powerful video. I, too, am a victim of childhood trauma, and I do not want to die too early based on unresolved issues that keep rearing their ugly heads. I pray that for those of us who have suffered that we can get past it. I have had two failed marriages and no children that in itself is traumatic, and no one understands that either.

Totally!! This is really not to be ignored this is so so tragic. Us women need to speak out about abuse and the abuse needs to stop.

Thank you for promoting this type of awareness that so many aren't aware of. You picked up on all of the important elements on unhealed childhood trauma. It does get buried and brutal to live with for the duration of your life. It often gets worse in your 50's, but it's never too late to seek help. The media and so many people just blow this off. So inhumane! I'm thankful for your sharing because it does need to be addressed. To reach joy at almost 60 is a wonderful accomplishment. Why doesn't anyone understand MENTAL health on a serious level. Keep healing my sister, I too am struggling from the complexity of her death that is ignored. And for you, I offer love, hope, strength and many hugs for happiness.

Thank you for doing this video. I am a mother of two beautiful young women. I am so sorry you had to go thru your childhood years being tormented abused. You, nor any other child, deserved this. My prayer for you is peace for your inner child. No child should grow up being hurt and being afraid. Know your strength and continue to heal. You are such a beautiful person and deserve to live a happy life without horrific memories. We cannot change what sick parents have done to their beautiful children but this video is evidence of a sweet innocent child fighting back. Please live your life and continue loving yourself. You are valuable in helping other adults, who have been abused and traumatized. I cannot say I know how you feel because I have not experienced childhood trauma or abuse. But I watched your video and I heard what you said and I saw your pain. By living and healing yourself, you make a difference in helping yourself and helping other victims. I pray for peace and happiness in your life. Again, thank you for doing this video. Hopefully it will help other people who grew up with monsters.

As a mother of 2 and a new grandmother, I can't wrap my head around harming any child... especially your own. I have some childhood trauma but not from my parents. Most of my trauma stems from horrific physical abuse as a very young adult. And I've been diagnosed with ptsd, anxiety disorder, and depression. However, I've never heard anyone describe trauma this way, and I want to thank you. I, too, suffer with thyroid issues, fibromyalgia, panic attacks, etc. And I definitely think the traumas I've endured have caused irreparable damage. They do live inside me 😢 yet I've never heard that before the way you've described it. Thank you for this video. My 💔 heart shattered finding out about Sinèad, but I wasn’t shocked. She was definitely ahead of her time, and ripping the pic of the Pope (I read it was an actual picture that hung in her mother's house) was her way of trying to expose child abuse in the Catholic church. She was canceled before it was a thing and ridiculed, but... she was right. I knew-or felt, when her son died, it was the straw breaking the camel’s back. 😭 She deserved so much better. Children ALL CHILDREN should be protected. Period. ❤

Thank you for honoring her & honoring yourself by giving the space and capacity to grieve and share the truth of our stories 🙏🙏🙏

Well done Tamara. Your art is very good! Art is a great healer. My aunt suffered greatly from mental illness and was subscribed multiple meds. She lived to be 90. Who knows?

Thank you for this very heartbreaking video. You’ve articulated what I’ve known my whole life. The medicalisation of ‘mental health’ has only served to distract us from the real root causes. I’ve always known that Sinade Oconnor wasn’t crazy. The denial within society is huge, no one wants to open Pandora’s box, The inter generational abuse cycle goes on and on. I’m grateful my children chose not to have children, The dysfunction stops there. God Bless x

Muchas gracias Támara por compartir desde el corazón y la experiencia. Gracias por honrar de ésta forma tan constructiva y respetuosa a Sinéad O'Connor, y en este sentido, hay muchas cosas que Sinéad reflejo en su vida como artista pero, más aún como ser humano que nos hace reflexionar desde un lugar honesto y profundo.

Hi, I just watched your video and boy did it bring up memories for me. I too suffer from Chronic PTSD, Bipolar, Major Depression, Anxiety from past trauma all the way from my 3rd birthday to now. And I'm 50. We never really heal correctly. And you are a very passionate and educational person!! You are a very Beautiful Sister and Survivor! Just like me!! I appreciate you!!❤

No matter what anybody says about getting healing after losing a child, it's very hard to want to stay here. I experienced it myself and I've done a lot of healing but it never really gets completely healed even without severe mental issues.

I always felt so close to Sinead. I found her even before her first US record release. My heart breaks for her and you, your sister and all of us with PTSD from living through childhood trauma. Sending love & hugs and healing prayers.

I didn’t experience abuse by the hands of my parents (unless you count being spanked.) but I was terribly bullied at age 10-11 by some mean girls at school. I often wonder if I have childhood trauma as a result of those experiences. Also, I was devastated by the news of Sinead’s passing. I wonder if she was an HSP which might help explain why she felt the pain of injustice so deeply.

Thank you very much for talking so openly about it. Your Video touches me.

I have experienced physical, mental & sexual abuse as a child... Then again in a relationship... By 26 years old, I lost my entire family (the ones I grew up with) from drug abuse & murder...And now my kids are all adults, for the first time in my entire life, I feel truly lonely. I refuse to EVER get into another relationship ...only had 3 in my whole life, all were abusive! I will stay single forever, no one else is ever getting in. My body is suffering BIG TIME. I have chronic illness which causes intense chronic pain MOST days.. I'm gonna be 48....I KNOW burying my trauma has settled IN my body to create this maddening physical pain & illness... But NOTHING will EVER take my emotional pain away ... Nothing except allowing myself to "feel it for now"... Then bury all the PAIN again until next time 😭 Sinead helped me through my childhood.... something about The Lion and the Cobra album got me through... It's ALWAYS been my go to, even as an adult... I never allow myself to be affected by celeb deaths, but this one hurt. I was already in one of my dark places where I cannot get out of bed...I CANNOT find joy in ANYTHING...I call it one of my "funks" USUALLY it doesn't last THIS LONG! Hopefully soon, I will be able to suppress this... No amount of therapy has ever worked... In fact, it only makes things worse
