This gets me every day. Good on you for putting this out there; it mattered.

Thank you so much for this vital insight and warning.
It’s refreshing to read an article with a different angle than all the same old commentary that becomes so trite to those of us who have been on the healing journey for so long.
My therapist often told me my work environment was repeating old trauma patterns despite my having cut off all ties to my abusive family.
Your candor and willingness to share your experience with us is so helpful and brave.
Thank you, Mary

It is a timely article for where I am right now in my recovery. As you said, we all focus on the original childhood trauma and less so on when trauma happens to us as adults. And that is the shift in thinking that is occurring currently for myself. I’m trying to go for a more holistic approach in regarding where and who I am, looking at everything that happened to me so far and what it has done to make me as I am.
Thanks again, Micah.
