therapy: a journey of healing the mother wound

** for them, i would do what she couldn't; for them, i would choose to heal **therapy is a poetry collection full of honesty and raw emotion, exploring not only the complexity of childhood trauma and the mother wound, but how these traumas follow young girls into adulthood, and eventually into motherhood. Written from the pain and angst of a broken child, adult, and mother, this six-part collection takes readers on a journey that begins in a childhood drowning in trauma, and ends in a motherhood full of love and hope. Ultimately, these words are for the children who never felt they had a voice, and the adults who have spent years trying to figure out where the trauma ends, and where they start. While it's true that the pain never truly leaves, healing offers a bittersweet kind of peace. *Trigger warning* this writing explores: - childhood trauma - physical abuse - emotional abuse - sexual assault - self-harm - suicidal thoughts - post-partum depression - post-partum anxiety
