Content Considerations (Gentle Trauma Warning)

Content Considerations (Gentle Trauma Warning) {.content-warning}

This book discusses:

  • emotional overwhelm
  • shutdown and withdrawal
  • anxiety
  • trauma responses
  • childhood emotional roles
  • internalized shame
  • abandonment fears
  • the nervous system under stress

All topics are approached gently, compassionately, and without graphic detail.
The intention is not to trigger you — it's to give language to what has previously gone unnamed.

But if at any point you feel activated:

  • pause, breathe, and return later
  • skip ahead to chapters on reconnection, healing, and capacity
  • or simply give yourself permission to rest

You do not owe this book endurance.
You owe yourself care.
