Triggers are neither good nor bad, it is how we consciously choose to respond to them that matters. In order to consciously choose, recognizing triggers is key to understanding their perceived effects and directing them.

Keeping a notebook and pen within reach empowered me to make note of triggers before they slipped away or subconsciously drove my actions. If I was busy when my past intruded on my present, I would simply make note of the trigger to stop the intrusion.

Later, when I was in a comfortable quiet space, I would take out my notebook, look at the trigger, and write out the memory- opening neuron pathways in my brain in the process.

Opening neuron pathways allows for conscious self control. Whether we are triggered by a traumatic past, or simply triggered to buy Big Pharma’s latest product as inspired by subliminal advertising, making note by hand is key to making wise choices.

My new book reSOULutions illustrates how to take control of triggers and ultimately reclaim self control and inner peace.

Mark taught me at the very onset of my healing process to make collages as a way to trigger memory. He set a pile of magazines and newspapers in front of me in 1988, and told me to clip out anything that caught my attention and gave me pause. I kept these clippings in a box as suggested. Mark told me that how I assembled all those images would be like assembling pieces of my mind, and advised me to choose carefully.

Of course I kept my notebook within reach, making note of images that flashed across my mind’s screen as a result of clipping key triggers. Later I would write out the memory in photographic detail as per birthright methods in PTSD: Time to Heal.

Triggering my own repressed memory with collages was a giant step toward healing from decades of traumatic MK Ultra mind control. I found that through assembling the images, I could take control over my triggers and begin consciously directing my own actions.

Since my collages are included in reSOULutions, I strongly recommend readers keep a pen and paper within reach to make note of any inspiration or in the event my old triggers trigger yours.

My ability to cope with the reality of my experience took time, and I vented through poetry often written in the subconscious language by which I had been manipulated. Double and triple meaning words, making demands of my commanders, and taunting my abusers empowered me to cope.

When Mark passed away in 2017, I vented through poetry to cope with the grief of losing my hero, best friend, and soul mate.

The vast array of poetry I vented in order to cope may serve as inspiration for you to vent likeWise. These poems are as personal as my collages, yet are freely shared in reSOULutions as a healing tool for others.

Taking pen to paper inspires self control and inner peace, in addition to diffusing triggers.

Make a grocery list on paper, and consciously question each item to make sure it is something you need rather than something you are triggered to buy from advertising. You will find it easier to stay focused in the grocery store, buying what you need, and remembering those needs with ease whether you look at your list or not. Having written the list by hand will help you mentally retain your list and stick to it without being triggered by products on the shelf.

Other ways people trigger themselves may be through aroma therapy, sound or light therapy, church bells and chimes, mood music, and infinite other ways depending on life’s circumstances and conditioning.

Repetition is the most basic form of mind control, whereby triggers are being deliberately set through controlled media and school indoctrination.

Cathy O’Brien.

A voice the program couldn’t silence.

A survivor of government sanctioned mind control under the MK Ultra system, Cathy has spent the last three decades exposing hidden truths and reclaiming her sovereignty — one word at a time. While her testimony has rattled institutions, these poems reveal the quieter revolution: the return of her own free thought.

ReSOULutions is not just a collection of poems — it is the aftermath of memory, the soul’s resistance in ink. From raw venting to refined verse, Cathy charts the brain’s journey out of bondage and into clarity. These writings, penned over thirty years of healing, rise from personal and planetary trauma with wordplay, grief, grit, and truth-telling that lands in the body.

In a world still reckoning with control, coercion, and cover-ups, this book is a companion for those waking up — a lyrical reminder that free will begins in the mind, and the soul will always find a way to speak.

Church bells, chimes, Tibetan bowls all emit frequency that stimulates our brain, opening neuron pathways. Vibrational frequencies can also be used to compartmentalize memory, shutting down neuron pathways.

Consider how harmonic tones in a song can trigger memory when you hear that song again. Perhaps it is a love song that reignites passion, or a melody that takes you back to teen years or childhood. Have you ever had a song come to mind that plays over and over again until it is annoying? This is akin to compartmentalized memory being triggered into photographic recall

Understanding mind brain function empowers conscious control over what is allowed to influence or trigger thoughts and actions.

Repetitive advertising narrative riding on deliberately tuned harmonic frequencies can trigger you to buy a product when you see it in the store whether you need it or not. Lyrics intended to incite violence riding on vibrational tomes that stimulate the part of your brain capable of violence is no accident. That little ting your phone makes when you get a text can either alert you to the message or demand your immediate attention depending on conditioned response.

With constant repetition, frequencies like your cell phone’s notification ting become so engrained that response is no longer a free choice.

Advertisements, music and tech industries, video games, children’s cartoons, and even news programs are driven by people who have access to “privileged” information on brain frequency manipulation which they use to their advantage. Awareness is key to stopping intrusion in favor of wise choices.

Think how different music can energize, regulate heart rhythm, or inspire relaxation. What lyrics are riding on these deliberately tuned frequencies? Be consciously aware of those lyrics because they are vibrationally intruding on your subconsious.

MK Ultra mind control often uses both audible and subaudible frequencies to vibrate neuron pathways in the brain for mind control purposes. Phone tone calls are a means of triggering programmed action, much like the ting on your phone alerts you to respond to a text- only with more intense demand.

It was once believed that harmonic programming could only be deprogrammed by the same harmonic triggering. In fact, it is possible to deprogram technologically imposed programs through photographic conscious recall of those tones! When I mentioned the sound of your text tone, could you hear it in your mind?

Just like that song playing in your head can remind you of the time you fell in love, remembering a harmonic tone, how it was delivered, and by whom can diffuse the program when written out by hand.

Asking yourself questions such as “what makes me think I have been programmed with frequency” and “who told me that” can open neuron pathways. If your brain’s neuron pathways trigger open with tones from Tibetan bowls or chimes, what flashes in your mind? Write it out.

For generations birthright information on our mind brain function has been suppressed, causing us to forget that we have photographic memory capability! By forgetting to use this capability, healing from within becomes disrupted by outside input.

Knowledge that is our defense against mind control, is also our birthright path to healing from within. We have been blessed with resiliency of body, mind, and spirit. When we access our divine photographic memory to remember who we are and why we are here, there is no limit to the healing that can occur… harmonic programming and all!
