THE LIES LOVE HIDES
The things love hides.
The truth you discover.
The person you find again.
Poetry, articles, resources and a blog, born from lived experience and drawing on trauma-informed counselling practice. A space to illuminate covert abuse, explore emotional recovery, and make sense of the things that are often difficult to put into words. Find honest reflections, practical resources and a quiet, safe space built on validation, understanding and empowerment.
Not all love is what it seems... here I delve deep and unpack those lies with truth and honesty.
Some lies are so deeply woven into love, you don't realise they're there until you begin to unravel them.
This is a space for understanding the lies, recognising the patterns, and finding your way back to yourself.
Healing begins when we start to understand what happened to us.
The lies love hides can take years to understand.
But the truth can set you free.
Education is key.
