In a world that often values strength, independence, and self-sufficiency, the concept of vulnerability can seem daunting.  However, embracing vulnerability is a courageous and transformative journey that can lead to deeper connections, personal growth, and emotional well-being. In this blog, we will explore the importance of vulnerability, understand the barriers that prevent us from being vulnerable, and discover practical steps to cultivate and express vulnerability in our lives.

Wow, never did I ever think it would be a label associated with me, but it is. Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after exposure to prolonged or repeated trauma. It is similar to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) but can also include symptoms such as emotional dysregulation, negative self-perception, and difficulty with interpersonal relationships.
