Ever feel overwhelmed but can’t quite explain why?
This new post explores the quiet, relentless weight survivors carry — the stress that builds up without ever being named.
It’s not just about trauma. It’s about grief, responsibility, emotional tension, and the pressure to keep going when you’re already stretched thin.
We’ve also included a printable journaling worksheet to help you gently map your own invisible load — with survivor-safe prompts like:- “I didn’t realise I was carrying…”
- “One thing I can put down today”
- “If someone could see my load…”
Plus: three lesser-known book recommendations that go beyond the usual trauma lists:- The Myth of Normal by Gabor Maté
- The Deepest Well by Nadine Burke Harris
