👉🏽 My Abuser Emailed Me. Here’s How I Handled It (When Trauma Resurfaces)

February 23
31 mins

Episode Description

This one is personal.

In this episode, I share something that happened in real time… I received an email from someone connected to my childhood abuse.

And it brought up things I thought I had already processed.

I talk about what it actually feels like when old trauma resurfaces.

What happens in your body.
What happens in your mind.
How healing isn’t linear.
And why forgiveness is not something you owe anyone.

This isn’t a polished “look how healed I am” conversation.

It’s real.
It’s layered.
It’s complicated.

Inside this episode I share:

  • What it feels like when the past reappears unexpectedly

  • How I handled the email without betraying myself

  • Why boundaries matter more than being “nice”

  • The truth about forgiveness

  • Why healing doesn’t mean you won’t get triggered again

  • How storytelling has been part of my healing

You don’t owe anyone closure.
You don’t need to be strong all the time.
And you don’t have to perform healing for the world.

If this resonates, comment below and let me know.
And if it helps you, share it with someone who might need it.
