Dissociation & The Multiverse
Dissociation and the Multiverse: Exploring my mind in and out of abuse, and what it looks like for me now, after a couple of years spent healing and processing trauma.
There's little I hide anymore. After decades masking and pretending to be someone palatable to everyone around me, I've found more value in sharing openly than in not. Men and women confide in me privately, every day, how much my story has helped them process things they can't speak aloud, even to a mirror yet. I'm grateful for the platform, the mic, for my voice, but there are still moments I hesitate. I pause because I know a future employer could stumble upon all of this, or a future love who might be skittish with too much honesty too soon.
