The Trauma That Is Hard To Name

Yet, you probably experienced it

Hello Fellow Travelers,

Some experiences leave visible scars.
Neglect doesn’t.
It leaves something harder to name—an absence, an invisibility that seeps into our beliefs, our relationships, our sense of self.

In this new episode of The Delicious Challenge of Being Human, I explore the misunderstood trauma of neglect.

I share a story from my own life—one I carried for years without realizing what it meant—along with the powerful moments in therapy that finally gave it language. I also offer Inquiry Questions and Releasing Statements that will help you begin to name and tend the parts of yourself that were left out in the cold.

If you've ever said “I’ll do it myself” more times than you can count…
If you’ve ever wondered why your needs feel like too much…
Or why being invisible can feel strangely familiar…
…this episode is for you.

As always, I’m so grateful to walk this path with you.
Please share the episode with someone who might need this medicine too.

With love and respect for all the ways you meeting, life’s challenges with grace and integrity…
Voge
