What do you think about post-traumatic growth? I think it’s great if you get there but we shouldn’t have any expectations for survivors.

Hi darlings! As I re-release my book, my previous reviews won’t transfer over. Could you please leave a review for me? I’d be happy to send a free review copy to anyone who’d like one. Just send me your email address and I’ll fire a copy over.

Two years ago I wrote to the Unladylike podcast hosts suggesting they do an episode on trauma recovery. Today they interviewed me for it, and we had a lovely open-hearted talk about my recovery, kindness and how to rebuild a good life. Airing June 1. unladylike.co
