Hello Reader,

Welcome to Changing Voices.

This field is precious and integral to my healing journey. It details the iterative process of changing the way I engage with myself, from the inside out.

Beginning with a piece that marks an almost-radical mindset shift, I learn to express gratitude for hostile intrusive thoughts. But it’s not as if that shift was adopted and integrated right away - nothing is that easy, Reader! Changes like this are practices of continual improvement, meaning they require daily alignment with the mission, regardless of how I felt in a given moment.

I find the process captured here quite endearing. People often say, “Healing is non-linear!” with glitter in their eyes and pinned-up cheeks.

This shows what non-linear actually means.

I’m proud of that. And so are the voices.

Happy reading!
