My Friend Ted: The Lines Behind Me

by 8 Comments

We talked about lines in the sand. But I was so busy looking forward to see the lines, I didn’t realize they were under my feet all along. So that’s when I had the resolve to end my life.

Pocket Girl Podcast: CPTSD

by 1 Comment

The more I think about it, the more I understand that Pocket Girl started long before I began dating terrible men, flailing in my artistic career, or smacked hard into the wall of sexism. I was raised to not have a self. Gas-lit into believing the problem was me, and not the horrendous, dysfunctional, misogynist, abusive bullshit, I was marinated in.

Pete Walker is not only a survivor of CPTSD, but also a therapist. His book Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving is a must read and offers so much hope.

Beauty After Bruises is one of the very few sites dedicated to CPTSD awareness and can help connect you to therapists and resources.

Shahida Arabi: Her book Power: Surviving and Thriving After Narcissistic Abuse was instrumental in helping me with some breakthroughs last year.

The Body Keeps Score by Bessel van der Kolk. Not CPTSD specific, but tons of relevant and helpful information.

In spite of all the suffering, this a fantastic time…to really think inwards and try to realize that there are so many things that we change. This is the first time since the industrial revolution that the whole world stops.

Yellow Jack: Pause Everything

by Leave a Comment

If we could just somehow pause all rent, all mortgages and pause all interest for this time period, I think that could help everyone. Because then those small businesses won’t be paying for a building that they can’t run a business out of.

Yellow Jack: Imagine Everyone at Home

by Leave a Comment

People make documentaries, not for money, they make them for love because they’re committed and have stories they want to tell and think they can make a difference…but it’s very precarious work, always. And now this.

Yellow Jack: There’s a Lot To Do So We Better Go Slow

by 3 Comments

Everyone has kicked in here….our doctors…all the health care professionals we’ve had any contact with…we were just so thrilled and we just felt so confident…you’re so vulnerable in this state. And then when you have people who are saying, it’s OK, come on and wash your hands, put a mask on, we’ve got this. It just does wonders for your sense of safety.

Yellow Jack: What Choice Have I Got?

by 1 Comment

Part of my world is to experience it with my hands. And…it’s very difficult for me to know what proximity I am to other people. A lot of times I will bump into somebody or I just won’t be able to maintain a distance that they’re comfortable with…I touch more things than most people touch…and that also comes with a higher risk factor.
