Thanks for my body’s reaction to trauma
I hope you will excuse an unusual Thanksgiving message, but it’s unusual times. It’s about my experience with secondary trauma from the last couple of months — so read this with whatever gentleness you need, and feel free to pause if anything hits too close to home.
