A CONSCIOUS STEP TOWARD HEALING

A CONSCIOUS STEP TOWARD HEALING



Struggling recently.




I was diagnosed with C-PTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder) in 2019. While PTSD is caused by a single traumatic event, C-PTSD is caused by multiple, long lasting traumas that continue for years.



For me? 20 years+ of sexual, physical and mental violence from men, alongside the traumatic deaths of both my parents, as a young adult.




Yes, I am strong and resilient. Sometimes that means I feel invisible. My pain is invisible.




No, despite the unimaginable suffering I have experienced, mainly at the hands of others, I am not jaded.




Yes, I am still forgiving, kind and thoughtful. Yes, despite it all, I have managed to build a good life for myself.



No, I am not bulletproof.



It is not easy for me to share this; I have a lot of pride. But I know, deep down, that this is not my fault. I have nothing to be ashamed of, which is why I’m sharing this here - as a conscious step toward healing.

All of my lyrics are based around these experiences. Music is therapy.
