Licensed Professional Counselor Victoria Johnson took a unique approach to this book. This work includes poems with various themes. The poems are focused on the challenges of navigating depression and PTSD symptoms, love, betrayal, people pleasing, grief, family dynamics, capitalism, systemic issues, social justice, holding marginalized identities, and developing self-compassion.
This poetry will create a space for you to think critically, chuckle, cry, and unlock pathways for emotional growth and healing. Each poem has a corresponding journal prompt and a page to write your response. This creates the opportunity to reflect and explore the ways it may connect with your lived experiences. So, settle in—there’s much to explore and unpack.
