Laura, your wisdom and insight shine through with such sensitivity and compassion. Thank you for sharing! Your advice on how to create a safe self-container when writing about hard stuff was very helpful.
I'm glad you found it helpful, Mahi. I've spent my life writing about "hard stuff" and know it doesn't do anyone any good if I get triggered and emotionally devastated by my own remembering and writing. I've learned a lot about how to protect myself and still get the core of what I want to write. It felt good to share some of that wisdom.
