The Shift
A visual reflection on the moment I stopped blaming myself and started seeing the truth. This carousel captures what rewrote itself when I finally understood ADHD and CPTSD, and how that shift changed just about everything.
This is what safety actually looks like.
Not tiptoeing, not hustling, not pretending.
Real safety lets you exhale and tell the truth - even when it’s messy.
That moment when hope shows up, but so does fear.
When you start to dream, but still brace for the crash.
Hope and hypervigilance, tangled together.
A knight. A drawbridge. A nervous system screaming no.
This MGEL Mini explores the freeze that follows vulnerability—and the hidden cost of being seen.
