Thank you for sharing your story, Gretchen ❤️ I deeply resonate with the line: “The traumatized child me wants to believe the writer me, but she doesn’t yet.”
So sorry this happened to you and so brave to write about it in a way that can be healing for you and for others. I too have predator trauma history - and there this same writer me child me dichotomy - the more I write, and give her words life, the more she trusts me.
