In this episode of Quiet Confessions, Chelsea reflects on a hopeful session with their new psychiatrist, the ongoing struggle with sleep, overstimulation from chaotic parenting mornings, and their evolving relationship with trauma and healing.
They candidly share their challenges with burnout, their nervous system’s fragility, and the everyday chaos of parenting with PTSD.
