The cyclical, spherical, all-encompassing, exponential, pervasive effects of childhood trauma as told through the lens of my life and maybe a bit of yours, so we can start to understand and grow.
Lia, wow. I know I will need to (and want to) come back and read this again, and probably again and again. Much to absorb and some of it so very heavy. (Although some of it also so funny and healing! In any event, all of it deeply honest, human , warm.) And as I was reading, I kept finding myself writing my own story in my head, in parallel. Lots of flashes of very familiar feelings to unpack. I appreciate that you’re so clear-eyed and direct, unpacking your history and how you’ve made some kind of sense of it.
Thank you so much. There is still so much I want to tweak and add, and while I will probably clean the text up over time , I’m going to resist giving into perfectionism and thinking I can take a panoramic of the proverbial elephant with many sides. I would love to see your reflections on what these ideas brought up from your own history. Hopefully you’re writing some of it down!
