🌱 every arrangement has a story. Most of us can tell it in our sleep: who said what, who left, who is wrong. But under the story, there’s usually ONE moment. One moment. The ego took that moment and built a case around it. Then it kept collecting evidence. Every memory, every silence, every holiday became proof. Here’s the hard part. The case keeps you safe, but it also keeps you stuck. You can’t feel what you’re busy defending. So set the case file down for a minute. Go back to the one moment. What did you need right then that you didn’t get? That’s the story. That’s the wound. And wounds can heal with open hearts. ##estranged##fyp##healing##healingjourney##egodeath

For four generations, the women in one family passed down the same middle name—a quiet thread connecting great-grandmother to granddaughter. Then they erased my name. They tried to erase me. And they changed hers. Before They Changed Your Name is a therapist's unflinching account of losing a grandchild while she's still alive. A therapist/group practice owner of 20 therapists, has spent nearly fifteen years helping clients through trauma, attachment wounds, and family rupture. None of it prepared her to live it. Part memoir, part map through the grief no one sends flowers for, this book is for every estranged parent and grandparent who has been written out of a family story they helped build. A name can be changed. Love can't be erased. #beforetheychangedyourname #estranged #erased #healingjourney

🌱 showing up isn’t the same as being received. If you’ve kept reaching out and kept getting blanked anyway, you’re not the one who stopped trying. 💜 #estranged #erased #healingjourney #fyp #heal
