Adrian, I admire your work and what you're trying to do. I'm attempting to get together a substack publication, much like the one you've put together. I'm also a psychiatrist and believe that reframing can go far in the treatment of PTSD which I also suffer from. Please contact me directly at alsummersmd@yahoo.com or better yet, by phone 215 470 1467. Looking forward. Alan Summers.

I’m so glad I found your Substack. This was a fantastic read and I found myself relating to a lot of it.

Go you, on your healing journey...it’s not easy, but well worth it

That’s the point !!!!! People like us need to be filled up sometimes, we’ve been hollowed out by everyone INCLUDING OURSELVES

I definitely will, I’ve been writing about trials and tribulations of my life but Substacks and reading just helped me re learn a lot of things about myself

Substack needs a mental heath category. I'm a psychiatrist who has developed a self-therapy for PTSD and related condition I am new to Substack and am having difficulty getting my post going. Adrian, if your would like to communicate with me directly, I can fill you on in on some of the techniques I've developed, in exchange for your help on my developing my Substack program. I can be reached at alsummersme@yahoo.com. Thanks, muchly. Alan Summers, MD, Phd.
