Rewired: A Trauma-Informed Healing Series

🌿 Start Here: How to Follow the Rewired Healing Series

Jun 03, 2025

Welcome to ‘Rewired’ — a 14-week guided healing experience for survivors, supporters, and anyone ready to heal at their own pace.

This post is your go-to guide for following the series in order. Whether you’re reading week by week or joining later and catching up, you’ll find everything you need right here — all in one place.

💡 How it works:

Each week includes two posts:

A free post introducing the week’s theme
A paid post that goes deeper with survivor stories, reflection prompts, and a trauma-informed worksheet

You can follow along weekly as each post is released, or revisit topics later as they become available.
Each post is designed to meet you wherever you are in your healing — whether you're just beginning or coming back to the work with fresh eyes.

📝 As new posts go live each week, I’ll update this list with direct links — so feel free to bookmark this page and come back anytime.

🧱 Start with the Foundations

Before Week 1 officially begins, I recommend starting with the Foundations — 10 educational posts that give you the language, context, and clarity to make the most of the full journey.

🛑 Heads up: Unfortunately, Substack doesn’t allow me to reorder the posts in this section — so to follow the Foundations in the correct order, you’ll need to start from the bottom and work your way up:

What Is Complex PTSD?
→ This post introduces what Complex PTSD actually is — and why so many of us lived with symptoms for years without having the words to name it.
Emotional Flashbacks
→ Learn how to recognize emotional flashbacks, why they’re so common with CPTSD, and how they may be shaping your reactions without you realizing it.
Survival Mode in Adulthood
→ Understand freeze, fawn, and shutdown responses — and how nervous system dysregulation can show up in daily life long after the original stress has passed.

📌 These posts give you a solid foundation before diving into the Rewired series. You can revisit them anytime.

🔑 Building Your Foundation as We Go

📚 These first 10 foundational posts in this series are designed to help you build the language, tools, and nervous system support to begin healing — or to finally understand why everything you’ve tried before didn’t stick.

Each week, we’ll introduce a new concept, reflection, and trauma-informed tool — so you can move through the series at your own pace, one layer at a time.

You don’t need to know everything to begin.
You just need a place to start.
