Introductions
Welcome to the Self-Discovery Forum! 🌿
This is the place to say hello, introduce yourself, and let the community know a little bit about who you are — if you feel comfortable.
You might share:
-
Your name or nickname (whatever feels safe for you)
-
A little about your journey with self-discovery, healing, or growth
-
What brought you to this forum
-
Anything you hope to explore or learn here
There’s no pressure to share more than you want. This is a safe, supportive space for complex trauma survivors and those with acquired neurodivergence. Your story is yours to tell, and it will be met with empathy, not judgment.
A few tips to get started:
-
Keep it kind and respectful.
-
Take your time — you can post a little or a lot.
-
Respond to others if you feel called, but it’s okay just to read and observe.
I'm so glad you’re here. 🌱 Take a deep breath, share when you’re ready, and know that your presence matters.
Hello and welcome,
I’m Kimberly Callis, the creator of Tregaryn Publishing and moderator of this Self-Discovery Portal. I wanted to start this thread so everyone has a safe place to say hello and share a little about themselves if they’d like.
A little about me:
- I am a nearly 60-year-old survivor of CSA.
- I have endometriosis, a chronic invasive condition that acts like a benign cancer that responds to hormones and stress.
- I have survived sepsis and neurological impacts of sepsis-induced hypoxia as well as neuroendocrine effects of long-term hormone therapy.
- I’ve lived with complex traumatic stress and acquired neurodivergence, and much of my work comes from my own journey of understanding and healing.
-
I’ve created books, guides, and this portal to help others navigate similar experiences, and to provide tools, reflections, and community along the way.
-
I’m constantly learning and growing, and I hope this space can be a place where we all feel seen, heard, and supported.
What brought me here today is the same thing that brought you here — a desire for connection, understanding, and a safe space to explore self-discovery.
I’d love to hear from you, in whatever way feels safe... a small hello, a story, a hope, or a question. There’s no right or wrong way to participate here.
Thank you for being here. Your presence matters.
