“Tending to others is as natural and biologically based, as searching for food or sleeping, and its origins lie deep in our social nature.”

Feeling Connected Makes Us Kind

Dr. Judith Herman

"The restoration of social bonds begins with the discovery that one is not alone. Nowhere is this experience more immediate, powerful, or convincing than in a group."

Practical Jude says:

"As you begin your journey, be kind and gentle with yourself and the Keyboard Faeries will help you find your way."

Yea, What She Said

“He raged on and on, laying the groundwork for our relationship. One in which I would be cautious expressing my needs, wants, or desires. I started editing myself to avoid repeat a performance of his histrionics. It only went downhill from there.” ~WoN member

Dr. Judith Herman

"Traumatic events destroy sustaining bonds between the individual and her community. Something in herself that the victim believes to be irretrievably destroyed---faith, decency, courage---is reawakened by an example of common altruism. Mirrored in the actions of others, the survivor recognizes and reclaims a lost part of herself. At that moment, the survivor begins to rejoin the human commonality."
