CPTSD, Loss, and Survival: Protecting My Family
About this episode
In today’s episode of Living Richardson, I open up about the deeply personal and emotional toll the defamation lawsuit took on me, especially as someone living with Complex PTSD. I share how the loss of my daughter Kaydance shaped my fierce need to protect my living children, and how that trauma drove me into survival mode during the lawsuit. From losing contracts to being stalked and harassed by strangers, this episode goes beyond the lawsuit to explore the raw truth of how trauma influenced every decision I made. I also reflect on how moving has impacted my healing journey, acknowledging that while things are better, the hypervigilance of CPTSD remains a constant companion. Join me for an honest look at life after loss, and the ongoing battle to find peace.
