TRIGGER WARNING!!DESCRIPTIONS OF CHILD SEX ABUSE - LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISEDThis episode is part one of I don't know how many. I began a letter to my mother after her death and I share it here.#mother #parents #mentalhealth #survivor #childtrauma #trauma #abusesurvivor #racism #family #narcissism #gaslighting #abuse #childhoodtrauma #therapy #selflove #selfcare #mommyissues #fear #overcomingfear #healing

TRIGGER WARNING!! Statements of sexual abuse and domestic violence are shared. Listener discretion is advised.Welcome to Step Inside My Mind!Since there are little to no safe spaces for trauma survivors, WIPs (Works In Progress), and anyone else seeking solace from society's toxicity, I believe it to be up to survivors to create and maintain them. As a survivor myself, I live inside my mind and sometimes I feel like I'm alone. Hopefully, this podcast can serve as a community of respect, inclusivity and kindness. What form that will take is still a, well, work in progress. The only constant in the Universe is Change, so this podcast will evolve as more listeners join this community.I'm also hoping that it can serve as a way in which I can listen to voices that aren't inside my head. Not in a hallucinogenic/schizophrenic way, but in a "I spend way too much time living in there and while it's safe, it's not healthy" kind of way.Please be patient and kind. I'm a podcast "virgin" and as an introvert this is one of THE most painful and frightening things I've ever done. [DEEP BREATH...WOO SAA...
