Maybe not in the ways I’d wish, but at least he was strong enough to say where he was ‘at.’ Whether he knows what it told ME or not—I’m thankful. The freedom allows m

I have been caught up on this: "If They Only Knew How Their Behavior Hurt Me - SURELY They Would Choose To Act Differently".

With healing comes epiphanies, with each epiphany and revelation you get to decide what you are going to do with your new knowledge. Healing is definitely non-linear and messy. For me? I realized a lot today actually. I realized that people who have treated me however they see fit? Those who run on cycles - not only have I allowed myself to cycle through toxic behaviors I HAD learned to control and understand but the trauma of 2023 seemed to cause me a great deal of regressio

Today, we are talking about the invisible strings that control how we connect, love, and react to the people in our lives.

Today is the FIRST Survivor Sunday, Siren Squad! Today, we are anchoring down in our safe harbor to shine a light on a type of trauma that leaves no physical bruises but completely reshapes how you view yourself and reality: Narcissistic Abuse Syndrome (NAS). In May of 2025, I was still struggling with behaviors and emotions which I assumed were simply due to my long-standing complex trauma and CPTSD diagnosis. I was getting frustrated because certain symptomatic behaviors we
