Explaining Is the Language of Survival, Not Connection

The Friday Edition | No. 49

Welcome back, dear readers! I hope the holiday season brought you moments of peace and healing, and that you're feeling supported and safe as we step into 2025. I know for many, the holidays can bring up old wounds, and I want to acknowledge how challenging that can be, especially for those of us living with CPTSD and the weight of past trauma. Please take care of yourselves and move at your own pace.

If you’ve found value in this space, I’d be deeply grateful for your support in keeping it going.
