It’s all hard, whether you freely admit, I’m assuming to others, victimization or not. Best to do what’s healthy and right for you on your timeline and let the chips fall. Truth will set you free either way. Self integrity makes you strong and courageous, no need to advertise.
Cody. Wow! So well written. You describe me to a tee. I’m struggling with exactly the same issues and emotions you highlighted in your article. I’m in a new job and I’m frozen most of the time not knowing if I should ask for help, withdraw or spend sleepless nights working on the solutions. All because I’m afraid my colleagues and superiors will think ‘I can’t believe we hired this guy.’ It’s been four weeks. It feels like it’s been four years. I’m exhausted.
Thanks for the article. Now I need to put it into practice. Slowly. One step at a time. All while I make sure I don’t disappear when I’m in front of my colleagues. Believe me when I say that just writing this post feels semi-liberating.
I love the shift from practicing healing to just living it. I know all the ways to heal myself, to come out of this place of survival. Yet, am I truly living in a place of healing, of health, if I merely know the steps? Thank you for highlighting some tangible actions. I appreciate your work.
Good for you. I call it exquisite self care. It’s not selfish, when the time is right you will care for others. After an injury, self care is essential.
Although I've been working diligently on it all, every last one of these describes me. I never quite thought of it as a straight trauma response, though, so thank you for that insight!
Wow! You hit a home run here. It makes sense. This is the first time I’ve read what you’ve written and I’m looking forward to more. Thank you. You might have saved a life.
You are doing my amazing work speaking to all of this! Thank you!
Thank you Alicia!!!
It is so hard to not feel broken and stupid for allowing yourself to be victimized.

Well... yes.... that's it exactly. Thanks Cody 🙏🏻

Oh …..
thank you. You made me stop and think. Now back to action …!!!
And I will finally put it down. Again. No matter how many times it takes.
