SHARING MY RECOVERY JOURNEY ON INSTAGRAM
Instagram Account: @breakingdowncptsd
Being a part of a healing community is essential to my recovery journey. Sharing my story with other survivors and hearing their stories in return gives me hope that I can heal from the abuse and trauma I suffered. I am not alone. I share my story on Instagram to bring awareness, education, and resources to the issues complex trauma survivors are facing and to build a community of support, compassion, and hope.
Donate to the Breaking Down CPTSD community and support the growth of resources, offerings, and support of complex trauma survivors.
In addition to providing resources for complex trauma survivors, my account highlights my ability to write and design meaningful social media content for a targeted audience. If you are interested in collaborating on a project or would like to inquire about fees for custom content creation, please contact me.
