​

So, here’s the lowdown – we’re a community healing centered effort. That means we learn from each other, through connecting about what we’ve seen and are currently dealing with.

​

Every month we publish podcast submissions from real MFs to broaden the perspective and deepen the mutual understanding of what life on trauma really looks like.

​

Take a story, share a story, and keep the view widening!

FAQ

​

What do we want? Your words, preferably recorded so we can hear YOU.

​

When do we want em? Anytime! Stay "on track" with upcoming topics, or send what you've got when you've got it.

​

What do we want them on? See the list of recent and upcoming topics, below!

 

Missed a topic? No worries, we always take spill over.

​

Wanna share something different? Fucking do it. We want that too. What’ve you got?

​

Can I share my “whole story”? Mhmm, we’re listening. What’s your life been like on CPTSD?

​

Can I share “part of it”? Fuck yeah, whatever you want to focus on. Pre-diagnosis, post-diagnosis, and beyond. Be as specific and weird as you want.

​

Will it be published immediately? Nah son (ng’d), not usually. It takes a beat to review and fit it into the show, with feedback if you want it. But don’t worry, it’s in the queue! Painting a picture week by week.

Instructions

​

To prepare and submit a recording:

​

Hint one: The Focus Hurdle. We all got it. Start small, with one aspect of your recovery or a continued challenge you seek advice on. Decide what you want to say and make an outline if you’re worried about your thoughts trailing off. Some MFs write out their full submission, some free ball it. We love both. Don’t overthink it, everyone is stoked on hearing from you.

 

Hint two: Equipment. Use any recording software – VoiceRecorder on your phone works fine! To upgrade, consider that Anchor thing that everyone uses (self included). Plug in a basic set of headphones so we can hear ya loud and clear.

 

Hit three: Don’t listen to yourself if it makes you uncomfortable! We’re all fighting the “I hate my voice” battle. Have confidence that what you record is good nuf, and that’s good nuf. No perfectionistic or self-critical tendencies encouraged.

​

Hint four: Submit with ease. Send the recording to traumatizedmotherfxckers@gmail.com with the information below (copy-pasted is easiest) into the email with your responses, so we can organize efficiently and respect your share boundaries!
