In reply to Ann. Normalization of trauma is the best defense I guess Ann when we can't explain our responses. The word normal is so different when it comes to trauma survivors isn't it. I am glad that my story resonated with you.

In reply to Alicia. It's definitely a hard and lonely road Alicia. I am glad that you feel a bit less lonely after reading my story. All of us need that virtual hugging once in a while and I am honored that my story can decrease that loneliness for amazing people like you. I am honored that my story helps!

I’ve been getting these “Trauma Informed Tuesday” for some time now and have not once looked at them until today. I am glad I did, I guess I never really felt like reading more about CPTSD (I’ve read so much) as I don’t feel like anything will ever help me feel “normal” even though all the stuff that happened to me as a child was normal for me.

I enjoyed reading of her trauma, I know that sounds wrong, but I am sure it helps her to talk about it and it likely helps many others, thank you.

Thank you for writing this. Mine was my mother and I just felt so much less alone after reading this. Trauma is a lonely road. I know there are others out there. I am so grateful you shared a chapter out of your story and are working to bring early trauma awareness strategies to light. I see the lack of training with regards to “Frontline” workers in the systems in Canada every day. Thank you.
