I have read “SECONDARY TRAUMA” by May 1st.

First and foremost, you are an amazingly talented artist, a wonderful soul who helps countless of people around the world to stand by themselves and come out in the world with their art.

I understand your pain.

As I see it, it is very difficult when you want to help all people in need. It is ideally loving and empathetic, unfortunately we cannot help all people no matter how much we desire. You need peace and balance. I do not know any other person who is as welcoming and giving as you. I wish I was in your presence so I could heal you. I am a Reikihealer and I would like to distant heal you if you want. I want to do it as a beautiful gift from my heart to yours. But only if you wish, and otherwise I send you my loving thoughts.

Promise to take care of you! Love and kind hugs from Mejbritt, MejFoto in Denmark

I understand, on some level, what you’re talking about in trying to help people coming out of the place I came from. It’s a difficult topic with no easy solution. <3

It is wonderful that people feel seen through your art and reach out; but I also think it’s an immense burden to hear/read/witness other people’s pain. And some of that pain is just too much. I hope you can find a good balance that works for you and allows you to feel open but also protected (as much as you can be, anyway). Perhaps motherhood also encourages an even greater sense of boundaries, for if our own cup is empty we can’t give to the little people who need us most.
