I was still a teenager when I left my first husband and his abusive criminal strategies. In my trauma, I bonded with two young women who could withstand my story. Now, in our 60s, the three of us continue to you remember our histories and celebrate our victories.
We shared a FaceTime video conference call for their birthdays. Scheduling it around work, family, surgeries and travel left us with a few golden moments of reconnection. Long after the traumas that once bound us, we continue to bond over our shared stories of survival and thrival.
Have you checked in with your old friends? When you’ve released your trauma bonds, what’s left? Ki to Happiness thrives on the golden relationships that once contributed to survival.
