Join me for an important conversation on an often forgotten, yet deeply impactful ,form of childhood wounding.

Neglect is a silent wound that can be hard to acknowledge… and heal.

It’s often minimized, denied, and overlooked. Sometimes, even by those in mental health, child protective services, and the justice system.

Just as being able to acknowledge other forms of childhood trauma is necessary for healing, so is neglect.

In today’s episode, I’ll talk about the importance of recognizing neglect as a form of trauma and the need for individuals who have experienced it to receive support and validation in their healing journey.

Have you experienced neglect? Have you always identified it as neglect or a form of trauma?

About a year and a half ago I spit in a tube and sent it off to 23andme to learn more about my ancestry. I ended up getting a little more than I bargained for…

There have been some interesting and surprising things that have arisen since learning my father is not who I believed he was.

In this episode, I'm opening up about the unexpected journey this revelation has taken me on - the searching, the surprising revelations, and the complex emotions that have surfaced. It's been an experience that has made me question things I thought I knew and see my past through a completely new lens.

If you've gone through a similar story, I'd love to hear your story too. And even if you haven't, I imagine there are some aspects of this journey that you can relate to as well.

Whether it’s watching fiction on television or the 24 hour news and images of the devastation across the world, it’s nearly impossible to not feel the impact of the trauma so many are experiencing.

For survivors of childhood or complex trauma, the impact can feel even heavier because it tangles into the web of our own trauma… fear, betrayal, heartbreak, and grief.

In this episode, I share something I hope serves as a reminder of the importance of honoring yourself while still being present with other things that matter to you. I also share a guided practice to help us ground as a collective.
