Finding Sanctuary: Hannah Barnard's Journey Through 'Adult Tantrums'
Just because parasites and liars, users, abusers and disordered individuals exist doesn't mean we should allow them into our lives or to take over. Allow me to introduce you to my concept of kakatopia.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to find peace after experiencing trauma? In this episode of 'The Trauma of Abuse', Hannah Barnard takes us deeper into her creative writing journey with 'Adult Tantrums'.
