A Marionette Struggling to Touch the Ground: A CPTSD Journey

I’ve written quite a lot about my recent move and all the pain and pressure points that have come with such a big life change. Moving has been a recurring theme in my life – not out of a desire for new experiences, but because it’s often been necessary and unavoidable. It seems like overkill, as if the Universe is pushing me beyond my comfort and sanity zones, forcing me to release what no longer serves me, to heal, or to evolve, or some such agenda I am not privy to. I find myself shaking my fist at whatever force I can blame for crafting these big changes and making them feel so draining, difficult, and burdensome.

The only way out is through.
