Writing about healing after an abusive relationship. The small steps, the lessons learned, the science, and everything in between.
I started writing here because I couldn’t find what I needed to heal after I was safe. I didn’t understand why I felt the way I did, even though I was safe, and I couldn’t find what I needed to help me learn.
I needed content that took my experience seriously without treating me like I was fragile, while giving me actual information. That is what this blog is.
Posts here cover neuroscience, explanations on why how you feel makes complete sense, the practical and often unglamorous work of building your life, creative and the body as tools for healing, and what it looks like to grow into someone new on the other side of an abusive relationship.
