The people who say "satanic panic" are using the same language my cult abusers did. #cultsurvivor

08:38

please believe satanic cult survivors and don't use the term satanic panic to try to discredit us

03:25

there are parts of me that are amazed I am still alive. I didn't think I would survive #cultsurvivor

03:10

When we were remembering trauma it can be overwhelming; it helps to get distance #cultsurvivor

05:22

I haven't been on the trail since cataract surgery. there have been so many triggers #cultsurvivor

03:58

If you're a cult torture survivor like me you probably deal with mind control messages #cultsurvivor

03:32

Both the cataract surgery & Halloween bring up old mind control messages #cultsurvivor

Traditional publishing reflects our society which makes it harder for marginalized authors

02:39

I was talking about being a cult survivor and realized how much I love happy endings

01:36

I had intense pain in my shoulders for 2 years thought I had to endure it. #cultsurvivor

03:37

Tangle fidget toys are some of my favorite fidget toys. #neurodivergent #fidgets

01:04

I decided to stop hiding my fidgeting #neurodivergent

01:03

Book rec: middle grade fantasy The Mossheart's Promise by Rebecca Mix

01:01

because some of the torture happened in nature I find it triggering except for small pockets

01:03

I hope you can take in compliments. It is especially hard for survivors

02:00

Another possible sign of extreme child abuse is ongoing and severe dissociation

01:04

It can help so much to talk to other survivors. #cultsurvivor

02:01

I've been having a hard time lately #cultsurvivor

01:24

Grounding in nature, touching the earth, can help us feel calmer. #anxiety

01:06

I think it helps when we can talk about our fears and trauma and be heard. #mentalhealth

01:11

My friend Hilary is getting me the third book in the Sir Callie series by Esme Symes-Smith #mgbooks

02:16

another possible sign of extreme child abuse is ignoring pain in the body. #cultsurvivor

01:36

Banning books hurts the teens and kids who need them. #bannedbooks #queerbooks

01:05

I've been having more anxiety lately. #cultsurvivor #mentalhealth

01:42

Another possible sign of extreme child abuse is making oneself small. #cultsurvivor

01:06

Sometimes when it's a really hard time of year and there's a lot of triggers and old trauma...

01:15

I used to wish and pray someone would save me from the torture #cultsurvivor

01:31

Yesterday I reached out to someone I don't normally reach out to and it helped #mentalhealth

01:10

because I've been having a hard time lately I've been escaping more. #cultsurvivor

01:02

I've just had two days of anxiety and panic set off by triggers #cultsurvivor

01:11

I'm often told how amazing I am for surviving so well #cultsurvivor

01:16

There are days I can't find laughter or hope; I tried to remind myself of ways I cope

01:22

DID: some parts of me like foods that I hate. #dissociativeidentitydisorder

02:07

I am grateful to be safe now and I will always be healing from the effects of the trauma.

02:09

01:06

Someone reminded me when my book visions released to celebrate it. #yabooks

01:15

Books have always helped me get through the hardest times. #booklover #bookworm

01:24

I grew up without a voice so I am so glad to have a voice through my books now.

01:12

03:34

the four girls made me so much art for my birthday and I delight in it

01:30

01:06

Book rec: Superman: Son of Kal-el Volume 1

Safe touch feels like an important part of my heing as a trauma survivor.

02:58

I will be going to the 5 girls' place for my birthday after all.

03:51

I may have shingles so I can't visit the 5 girls on my birthday, 1 of my hardest days of the year

01:05

Visions pre-order giveaway now open until August 29th. #bookishgoodies

01:04

the four girls are excited I'll be coming to see them on my birthday

01:23

They mowed the fields of wildflowers; I saw it as a metaphor

01:29

I've had five books traditionally published & will now self-publish one. #queerauthor #hybridauthor

02:13

there can be a lot of frustrating things about self-publishing. #queerauthor

01:23

I'm not coping as well, hard time of year, but trying to be gentle with me #traumahealing

02:03

I'm usually not aware of the age my body is. #didsystem #cultsurvivor #dissociativeidentitydisorder

01:03

For Happy Mail this month I sent the kids ramen noodle fidgets. #chosenfamily

02:08

My parents were so extreme in the abuse so I never doubt not having contact is safest. #cultsurvivor
