Growing Pains Along the Healing Journey
I’m at a point in my healing journey where I’m much more aware of things... painfully aware of things, sometimes. It’s a good thing to be aware - it shows me what needs to change - but it can also be deeply uncomfortable.
I notice when someone isn’t a good communicator. I see who struggles to hold themselves accountable. I can read between the lines of people’s words, actions, or lack thereof.

What I Would Tell My Past Self
Sometimes I think about what I could say if I had my past self in front of me. As I've grown, let go, healed, experienced new things: I think of how much of what I know now that I would love to teach her.
Why I Run
If anyone had asked me if I ran prior to 2018, I would have responded, “I’m not a runner,” probably paired with an overdone joke about what would make me run—like a bear. Funny enough, I have run away from a bear, but that’s a story for another day. Back in 2018, I was going through a lot in my life, and I had just learned about a psychology theory whose main point was that we create narratives in our heads—and we maintain them to appear consistent.
Am I Overly Identifying with Being a Rape Survivor?
I am a rape survivor. This is something I say proudly these days. Proud? Yes. Why? Because for a long time I could not even utter the word rape, and now I can speak the truth of the worst things I have survived. So, recently I found myself incredibly triggered when I was reading a book where the author implied that by stating “I am a rape survivor” it means that I am overly identifying with this experience, and that I would be better off not identifying with it at all and letting it go. She seemed to believe I’d be free if I let it go.

Why It's So Important to Communicate Our Emotions to Our Partner
Communicating our emotions with our partner is a practice that many of us struggle with daily. There are so many reasons why we might hesitate to express our feelings: fear of being abandoned, judged, or misunderstood, to name a few. If we grew up with parents or caregivers who were emotionally volatile or unavailable, we probably felt safer keeping our emotions to ourselves and pretending everything was okay. We feared rocking the boat with our “inconvenient” feelings that revolted adults—or worse—went completely unnoticed.

What Is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and How Can It Help Your Healing Journey
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (also known as ACT) is a type of therapy that focuses on changing the relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings. It teaches skills to end the fight with ruminating thought patterns, and instead guides the person to reflect on, choose, and live their values. The idea is that you don’t have to get rid of your anxiety, trauma, or depression to start living more fully and meaningfully.
Why I Can’t Stop Talking About Rape
Why can’t I just let it go? This is a question I find myself pondering recently. I look back on the last seven years, and can see clearly how I lived in an endless loop of triggers, flashbacks, and challenging emotions that I had no idea how to process. I had to find a way to make sense of things that most people won’t even talk about. It was a day-by-day struggle to get to where I am. Now that I feel so much better, I look back and struggle to find the words to describe this healing journey I’ve been on.
