Hello — I’m Vanessa, but you can call me Ness.
Welcome to Traversing Trauma — my personal blog space where I explore the deep, often messy, and always meaningful journey of healing from childhood trauma and C-PTSD.
Why I Started This Blog
For over a decade, I’ve been actively working through the layers of trauma that have shaped my life. It hasn’t been a straight line — it’s been full of unlearning, relearning, relapsing, growing, and slowly rebuilding.
Eventually, I reached a turning point:
I chose to take off the mask I’d worn for so long and step beyond the safety of my home’s four walls.
That moment changed everything.
This Is a Space for Truth and Healing
By sharing my story here, I hope to do more than just document my journey. I want to:
- Encourage others to embrace their truth without shame
- Offer insights into trauma, healing, and mental health
- Create a space where you feel seen, supported, and not alone
This blog is a window into my world — not polished or perfect, but honest and real.

Thank you for choosing to traverse this path — in your own time, your own way.
With warmth,
Ness 🕊️
