Original caption

The added context? Dee (that’s me)… I was only mildly acquainted with Kate and had been asked by Laura to host her as a favour. When I agreed, Laura went for drinks with her other friend… then this happened. Later, this group of 12-ish people would drag my name through the mud, name calling, using racial slurs, and digitally stalking me up until and including earlier this Summer. What do I do? I wrote a whole ebook about this kind of bullying which Psychology calls “Relational Aggression”, and you can get your copy at the link in bio. In other words, I keep moving forward and sharing the lived experiences I’ve gone through so we can have open conversations about why “grown ups” continue to behave this way… 🫶🏼✨ Hey, I’m Dee.

I’m just a woman healing from CPTSD out loud by talking about psychology, neurodivergence, safe people & emotionally healthy relationships, and what’s helping me heal along the way.
