Piata, this has been a very brave post and I would like to be the first to acknowledge this. You are doing amazing work, both personally and in supporting other mums to find the self-compassion which, as you rightly say, is at the heart of all healing after trauma. I am proud to call you my Substack friend 🤗
This feedback is very much appreciated. It shows that pouring out my heart for this challenging journey of my healing that I'm connecting to others too. I sincerely value our connection and our online friendship 💔❤️🩹❤️
I especially appreciate the link between healing and writing - storying through our pain and lived embodied experiences, of what we've lived through - I think --has the effect of both helping us and being of service to others along the way. <3 Keep writing.
Thank you, Rachel. Your feedback is much appreciated.
It summarises decades of reflection with my combined work and lived experience. I feel I need to share even though it leaves me feeling nauseous with vulnerability. Do you think that sharing challenging stuff is your calling too? ❤️🩹
I definitely feel that need to share. At the same time as feeling very complicated about the vulnerability. But I'm addicted to authenticity. Others, and my own. That's how I currently understand it.
