It's difficult to be vulnerable and authentic. A well written article on an issue that needs to be destigmatized. Kudos!!

Good for you! The article was well researched and highlighted a topic that needs normalizing. Did you by chance read my most recent post, https://open.substack.com/pub/louisejulig/p/when-shame-loosens-its-grip?r=29kh6&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post ? It’s also about talking about the things we’re not supposed to talk about. The more I do it, the braver I get! And BTW my daughter the journalist said she never reads the comments on her articles and I think that’s great advice.

I had read your piece and I just reread it. Great advice this: "Shame feeds off silence, and starves when we tell our stories." Your daughter is also correct, I read the comments on day one, but haven't returnes for more. I was glad to have done that though as it made crystal clear how unsupportive commenters are really just grinding their own ax. Thanks for the read!
