Let the Rain Fall Down Upon Her
“She learned early how to hold it all in. Grief. Rage. The ache of being unseen. Her body became the container. Her silence became the offering. But even silence has weight. Even the strongest vessels crack.”
This chapter traces the quiet violence of emotional repression and the cultural myths that reward containment over truth. Kimberly Revis Callis writes from a survivor-led perspective, reclaiming voice through memoir, memory, and the slow work of release.
A Long, Long Time Ago
“She was the quiet one. The good girl. The one who didn’t ask for much. But silence was never safety. It was survival. And survival came at a cost.”
In this opening chapter, Kimberly Revis Callis traces the early imprint of neglect and emotional abandonment. A survivor-led memoir of invisibility, longing, and the myths we inherit when no one is watching.
Trauma significantly impacts the body and mind, often keeping the nervous system in a heightened state of alert. Returning to a baseline of safety involves practices like breathing exercises and self-compassion. Healing is a gradual process, leading to a deeper understanding of purpose and resilience through small acts of care and grounding.
In December 2025, the book “Seeking: Healing, Hope, and Agency for Survivors of Sexual Trauma” will be released. It offers a survivor’s perspective, providing compassionate guidance and exercises to help individuals heal from trauma. Preorders include early access and support for the author’s ongoing work dedicated to survivors’ healing and justice.
