For a little cry and a lot of smiles, this pod is an excellent listen 👍🏻 https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/who-am-i-really/id1223841587?i=1000519543060 #adoptee #adoptees #AdopteeVoices #adopteevoices #AdopteeTrauma #AdopteePodcast #Adopteedon #AdopteeFog #AdopteeFeels

I was especially struck by her description of parenting as an #adoptee - “I was parenting blind for the first 16 years of my child’s life. Because adoption is trauma … I’m parenting with a wounded inner child, not even knowing how wounded I was, or what the wound was. So I’m parenting almost out of paranoia.” Yes ! This ! This is why I needed to know this stuff earlier ! #AdopteeVoices #AdopteeTrauma #Adopteedon #AdopteeFeels #AdopteeFog #Adoptees

On my journey ‘out of the fog’, I’ve found #Adoptee podcasts invaluable for validation, comfort and community. Nothing beats sharing our stories and experiences. Absolutely no shade on any of the others, but this particular podcast episode is brilliant ! Dr Syb articulates so very many of the collective thoughts and feelings of #adoptees 👍🏻 #AdopteeFog #AdopteeVoices #Adopteedon #AdopteeTrauma #AdopteeFeels
