Coming Back to a World That Didn't Mourn You - Dormancy Trauma in Non-Hosts
[Riley’s foreword:]
this iz written from my experience, + while im rlly frustrated at the lack of writing on this from the perspective of ppl like me, i don’t like writing informational stuff @ all. i kant write in a professional style, i’m not rlly that good of an educator, and more importantly i dont want 2 be. instead, this is being written (@ my request) by my headmatez, using only my perspective. u kan think of it as an interview.
i would like 2 politely ask that system hosts with experiences of dormancy (either their own or of mourning a headmate’z) not make this post about themselvez. trust me, i kno hostz experience dormancy trauma. it’z the only kind ive ever seen discussed.
