Welcome to Through Fire and Brimstone

Welcome.

In the past, people often encouraged me to share my story to help others, but I always shot the idea down immediately. Now, I face major milestones in my life and recovery, moving out of state and starting a new job. Things finally feel different. I’m different. For the first time, I feel like I have something meaningful to offer.

Content Warning: Please note that this blog will touch on sensitive, graphic, and disturbing topics, including my personal experiences with abuse. Along with my thoughts and feelings on my journey, I hope to share helpful insights to guide you forward or, at the very least, help you feel a little less alone. I will also share practical resources, research, and tools that I hope you find useful.

While the stories shared here are completely true, all names have been changed to protect privacy.
