Wow, you described our journey perfectly. This year is the year I finally understood how important it is for me to slow down for my CPTSD husband.

That means so much — thank you for sharing that. It’s not always easy to slow down, especially when the world pushes us to speed up. But realizing how much that slower pace can support healing… it changes everything. I really admire your willingness to meet your partner where he is. That kind of steady presence makes a huge difference — more than words can say. Sending strength to both of you on this journey. 💛

I’m a few months into my healing journey … it’s been hard, but I felt joy again in late March. I appreciate your work and transparency. C-PTSD is just … hard.

Shelly, thank you for sharing that — and I just want to say, feeling joy again after everything you’ve been through is such a powerful sign of healing. I know how hard this path can be, and I really respect the work you’re doing to keep going. You’re right — C-PTSD is hard. But moments like that joy in March remind us it’s possible. So glad you're here. 💛
