This is 46. Rising up from the ashes, I am ready to tell what happened to me. To Eight. At 8. To us.

This sanctuary aims to comfort, validate, support, inform, and guide those who may find solace here. Whether you have trauma yourself or your friends and family do, everyone is welcome here.

Thank you for being here.

Ours is a trauma story full of gory glory. What’s your story? Do you want to give voice to it?

Ours is a guide from SURVIVAL to THRIVAL. What are the ways you survive your trauma?

CPTSD from Narcissistic Smothering and CSA doesn’t define me, but it sure does guide me. It kills and heals me. It conquers and rebuilds me. Let’s redefine ourselves together and see just how beautiful we are.

I am Eight. Forever and ever. For infinity.
