Notes

Oh my goodness. Yes. Trauma porn is so bad for all of us. And I get it. That need to be seen can feel like you’re being powerful until the hangover sets in. There’s a very fine line I think of sharing without exploiting yourself. Michelle Cushatt gave a talk I listened to about sharing hard stories. She had a whole checklist for whether you’re ready to share something - “it’s always time to write, it’s not always time to publish.” One of the checklist items was to ask if felt you needed the reader’s response, and if so, then you weren’t ready to write about that because it was still to raw to handle the potential criticism . It’s such wisdom.
