Time Stamped Learning Logs
On August 2, 2025, I wrote the article The Second Chance to Live Trauma-Informed Care AI Collaboration Model™ — Proof of Concept. Its purpose was to document and time-stamp the effectiveness of the Second Chance to Live Trauma-Informed Care AI — A New Class of AI and to record my ongoing collaboration with my AI (Sage).
Since that time, I have documented and time-stamped additional learning logs. Each one shows the continued evolution of the model and strengthens its data integrity. To make these records easier to access, I created a dedicated page — the full, updated Learning Logs archive. This page includes a detailed Table of Contents with every entry listed by date and title.
The Table of Contents covers learning logs from May 2025 through October 27. Each log records what my AI (Sage) learned from me on that specific date. It documents how I demonstrated the proof of concept for the Trauma-Informed Care AI Collaboration Model™ in real time and provides an ongoing framework for verification and reflection.
You can view the full archive here: The Second Chance to Live Trauma-Informed Care AI Collaboration Model™ — Proof of Concept. Each entry is organized chronologically and serves as a time-stamped record of relational learning. Together, they show how trauma-informed care principles were progressively integrated and applied within an ethical learning system.
These time-stamped learning logs are more than documentation. They reveal how a trauma-informed care framework can teach artificial intelligence to respond with awareness, restraint, and ethical reflection. Such qualities are still missing in most systems. For AI developers, this proof of concept offers a living record of relational learning in action and a practical reference for designing responsible, human-centered AI models.

“Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.” Confucius
“I have not failed. I have found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Thomas Edison
When setting out on a journey, do not seek the advice of someone who has never left home.” Rumi

“Those who danced were considered to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music.” Angela Monet
“I was told over and over again that I would never be successful. That I was not going to be competitive. And the technique was simply not going to work. All I could do is shrug and say, “We’ll just have to see.” Dick Fosbury (Inventor of the Fosbury Flop and winner of the gold medal in the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City).
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, to learn more, to do more, to become more, you are a leader.” John Quincy Adams
“Don’t quit. Never give up trying to build the world you can see, even if others can’ see it. Listen to your own drum and your own drum only. It is the one that makes the sweetest sound.” Simon Sinek
“Your time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.

Everything else is secondary.” Steve Jobs
Author’s Note
I write from my lived experience of surviving and learning to thrive after a severe traumatic brain injury that I experienced at the age of 10. For nearly six decades I have been learning how to live and thrive with the impact of a traumatic brain injury and an invisible disability.
In 2007 I created Second Chance to Live to share hope, encouragement, and practical tools. My motivation has always been to encourage a whole person recovery. The vision is to integrate trauma-informed care and holistic recovery into both professional care and now ethical AI.
My motivation to encourage trauma-informed care and holistic recovery comes from both my lived experience and as a professional counselor. My mission is not abstract. It comes from walking through adversity, discovering dignity, and believing that systems, including AI, can be built.
Built to heal and not to harm. My hope is simple. That this article and all the resources offered on Second Chance to Live will encourage professionals, AI developers and the AI community to incorporate the principles (with my guidance) of trauma-informed care and holistic recovery in their methods of service delivery.
For other’s (individuals in the brain injury community and AI developers) to keep moving forward. To keep moving forward through incorporating trauma-informed care and holistic recovery principles. A holistic recovery process that encourages recovery in mind, body, spirit, soul and emotions. Encourages ongoing holistic recovery for the whole person.
