I really enjoyed this essay and Kate’s thoughtful reflections especially this: “Writing about trauma is not just writing. It’s reopening a wound and digging out the twisted metal, the shards of filthy glass. It should only be done in community, whether with peers, mentors, or a therapist. The process heals, but first it hurts. It has astonishing power, and it cannot be rushed.”
