Recovery isn’t the end of the story. Sometimes it’s where the complicated part begins. Especially when we think we still need to perform like we’re suddenly OK.
This episode is about what survival can quietly do to your personality. The hypervigilance that doesn’t turn off when the crisis does. The control that saved you becoming the thing that isolates you. The armor that got you through becoming the thing that keeps everyone out.
This one is raw. It doesn’t have a clean resolution. But it’s honest. And if you’ve ever survived something only to find yourself looking at who you became on the other side and thinking — this isn’t quite right either — this episode is for you.

And I try my best to make sure every post is articulate and free from errors. However, being that I edit my own work—and it’s next to impossible to properly edit your own work—I admit, occasionally there may be an error or two I miss. But doing so doesn’t make me an idiot so don’t be mean. Just smile, pat yourself on the back for finding an error and be glad you’re not the only one who makes mistakes sometimes … xoxox
