Time to curl up with my second cup of coffee (two days in a row!), my whimsical little flowers, my giant and lovely Cabin in the Woods candle, the Sunday Baroque radio program, and my book The Beauty Queen by @sallyannemartyn.bsky.social! I plan to sit here until I finish this book! ☕️🌸🕯️🎶📚💜 #BookSky

Complex trauma, & dissociation especially, significantly impact how emotional & behavioral struggles manifest & heal. Trauma informed care is not "everything is trauma." Trauma informed care is, "when it's a factor, trauma changes everything."
