Seasons Of Trauma
My therapist once introduced me to an interesting concept when we were discussing the ebbs and flows of my mental health. I actually think it came up because we were discussing my birthday and how I felt absolutely no excitement despite being in a completely new situation now. In my abusive relationship, my birthday was…

My Week In Writing

Tapping at The Window – writing prompt

The Rabbit Hole
Writing, reading, editing, transcribing, meetings, emails, slack. Work seems to have consumed me the last few weeks, I’ve scarcely had time to post on my blog.
