A Quick Disclaimer

I’m not a licensed therapist, psychologist, or mental health professional. I’m simply someone who has experienced trauma, spent years trying to understand it, and is passionate about psychology and healing.

I’ve gone back to school to study psychology, spend a great deal of time reading research, and regularly discuss these topics with my own therapist. Many of the ideas I share are information I learned, but they are also shaped by my own personal experiences, reflections, and opinions.

Nothing I write should be considered professional, medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice. My hope is simply to encourage curiosity, self-reflection, and healthy conversations. If you’re struggling with your mental health or relationships, I encourage you to seek guidance from a qualified mental health professional.

I’m still writing mostly for me, but I genuinely want to help others now too. Healing is often misunderstood. We think that if something clicks, the pain and suffering stop. It does not. This is the truth about healing. You’re not healing wrong; you just weren’t told what healing really looks like. I hope this helps you. Hugs to anyone who needs them today or any day.
