Fear of Communication
Trauma Response
A few weeks ago, my brother reminded me that our stepdad would tell us to think before we spoke whenever we had something to say. However, somewhere along the line, we got stuck thinking and stopped speaking altogether. I've spent the majority of my life withdrawn and in my head, so communication skills are one of the skills I'm going to need to focus on improving in the near future.
I have finally found my voice and the courage to speak although communication doesn't come easy yet and I have to be intentional.
