- [Two Years On: The Day I Met Jackie](https://naavoices.com/two-years-on-the-day-i-met-jackie/): They arrived professionally. They were kind. One of my children had planned a surprise — walking into the room wearing a dress — and both officers played along, covering their eyes. Then I was handed an Anna costume and told I had to wear it too. So there I sat, dressed as a Disney princess, while investigators asked whether I might be a victim of something I could barely comprehend. This is what that day looked like — and what it revealed.
- [Back to reality. Two Days of Kindness Can't Erase Months of Trauma](https://naavoices.com/back-to-reality-two-days-of-kindness-cant-erase-months-of-trauma/): I left this morning — left a place that will always hold a piece of my heart. This family welcomed Matthew and me with open arms. They showed us genuine warmth and kindness despite barely knowing us, and the past two days were, in a word, pure bliss. Last night Matthew walked almost two and a half miles each way — including a steep hill on the return. His determination was something I’ll never forget. I found myself prouder of him than I’ve been of anything in a long time. I can only hope the world treats him with the kindness […]

- [Living a nightmare Mr S](https://naavoices.com/living-a-nightmare-mr-s/): Slept on the sofa as Toddler was woken by the snoring. He had a client this morning for an hour, and then surprise he is asleep again, or has he hit the alcohol, or drugs. Either way I spend 3 hours trying to get hold of him to check he will be there to collect the toddler from school. Crazy to think I am having to rely on a teen to check if he is awake. He messaged me this morning to ask if I hate him, you see no matter what he does he then tries to turn things. He […]
- [Nursing Love!](https://naavoices.com/nursing-love/): Home Nursing Visits today for Flu vaccines 😊This morning was a little different, I arrived to work to prep for my flu clinic for the housebound. Nice to see patients in the comfort of their own homes, although some incredibly sad situations. We are told not to take our shoes off due to Infection control but some of these houses are so beautiful it would be so rude not to. I am lucky to work with such beautiful people, one of our sectaries came along for administration support, really enjoy chatting to her. She has older children, and we had a […]
- [Day 3](https://naavoices.com/day-3/): Day 3 — 9 November Today began with a much‑needed lie‑in, as the little one woke up a bit later. The teens got themselves ready and left in the morning. I eventually got us dressed, went out, and cleaned the car — even mopping the car floor. I have a colleague accompanying me tomorrow for flu jabs. She hasn’t had young children for many years, so she won’t appreciate car seats and smeared finger marks. My ADHD often makes me worry about what others think, possibly due to Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). With the car clean, we headed off to post […]
- [Back story (Brief) :)](https://naavoices.com/back-story-brief/): So my back story in a brief. I was born in Yorkshire, mum left abusive husband with two young kids (me being one of them). Moved to mid Wales/Shropshire for support from grandparents. She met my ‘dad’, the man who took me on and raised me as his own. Joined the military to escape a small-town mentality and the fear of the unknown. Met my ex-husband. Had two wonderful children and seven years of happy marriage. Divorced (moved back towards family), qualified as a nurse, diagnosed with ADHD. The main issues started once I started dating… and from that point on, […]
- [Day 1](https://naavoices.com/day-1/): Day 1 7 November 2023 Last night, I lay in bed writing everything down, the good, the bad, the ugly. I’ve used this technique before; it clears my mind in a way nothing else does. Sometimes I write the difficult things in one colour, then go back over the page in another colour for the positives. It’s strangely therapeutic. I’d been sitting up for hours thinking. Eventually, I asked my partner if he wanted to talk things through with me, if I can even call him my partner.Of course not. I should have learned years ago that if it isn’t about […]
- [Heart of the Beast (2026): Why Brad Pitt's New Film Gets PTSD Right](https://naavoices.com/heart-of-the-beast-2026-brad-pitt-ptsd/): I thought I was going to watch a survival film. I didn't expect to recognise survival itself. Heart of the Beast doesn't oversell trauma. It shows the silent version of PTSD, the one people don't see, and it was probably the best portrayal of post-traumatic stress disorder I have ever seen in a film.
- [Is It a Label, or Does Understanding Neurodiversity Enable Us?](https://naavoices.com/is-it-a-label-or-does-understanding-neurodiversity-enable-us/): Is diagnosis really a label, or can understanding enable? An honest look at neurodiversity, masking, long waiting lists, exhausted parents and the children who grow into adults—sometimes without ever understanding why life has felt so difficult.
- [The Bravest Thing I Did When No One Was Watching.](https://naavoices.com/the-bravest-thing-i-did-when-no-one-was-watching/): What is the bravest thing I have ever done when no one was watching? My answer is simple. I kept going. Through trauma, diagnosis, and post-separation abuse. Through every hard day and every trigger. I kept supporting my children. I studied and passed with distinction. I built and learned and grew. Post-traumatic growth is real. It does not erase the wound. It just means you kept growing anyway. And in the silence, I became someone who will never again be silenced.
- [Home Is Not Always an Address](https://naavoices.com/home-is-not-always-an-address/): What if home isn't an address at all? A 140-mile journey, a song in the car and one simple comment from my daughter made me realise that healing can change what the word “home” means.
- [Four Julys: A Letter to My Daughter](https://naavoices.com/four-julys-a-letter-to-my-daughter/): For years, I documented the fear, behavioural changes and words my daughter brought home, while attempts to protect her were reframed as hostility and parental alienation. This is a letter to her, to the parents still fighting to be heard, and to the professionals responsible for recognising patterns before a child suffers further harm.
- [When Protection Is Framed as Parental Alienation](https://naavoices.com/when-protection-is-framed-as-parental-alienation/): The accusation lands, and from that moment the protective parent is the one under investigation. It happens to mothers and to fathers. This is what it did to my family, what finally shifted it, and the practical things I wish somebody had told me in year one.
- [The Therapy Nature Gives Me](https://naavoices.com/the-therapy-nature-gives-me/): Therapy doesn’t always happen in a counselling room. Life is often a million miles an hour, and I’m regularly asked how I keep going or how I never seem to stop. The truth is, that’s the reality of living with ADHD and PTSD. Keeping busy is often how I cope. Silence leaves space for memories, and with PTSD, silence isn’t always peaceful. But when I need to reset, this is where I come. Somewhere natural. Somewhere that helps me ground myself. I’ve said it many times: the body remembers what the mind forgets. In reality, the mind doesn’t forget the events; […]

- [Breaking the Silence: Why Survivors Stay](https://naavoices.com/breaking-the-silence-why-survivors-stay/): Breaking the Silence: Why Survivors Stay “Why didn’t you just leave?” is the question survivors hear most — and the one we most need to retire. This is about the invisible chains that keep people bound, and how anyone who wants to help can offer support that truly helps. Leaving is rarely a single decision, and rarely simple. People try to leave many times before they manage it. Threats — including threats of suicide — often pull them back. And when they do leave, many discover the manipulation and control continue through new channels, in what’s now recognised as post-separation abuse. […]

- [Subtle Pattern Recognition, ADHD Strengths and Psychological Safety](https://naavoices.com/subtle-pattern-recognition-adhd-strengths-and-psychological-safety/): Why I Love Primary Care I haven’t written in a while. Today reminded me why I need to. It was one of those days when the list never ends. Morning clinic ran until 14:35. Afternoon clinic started at 14:30. Lunch was eaten between patients and finished as I walked out of the building late. That isn’t unusual in primary care. It’s the pace. It’s the reality. It’s the job. People imagine primary care as calm. It isn’t. It’s constant movement, constant switching, constant recalibration. It’s holding ten things in your head while someone tells you the eleventh. It’s safeguarding, chronic disease, […]

People often say that after two years, things should feel different, that healing should have taken root by now. And in some ways, it has. There are days when I can breathe again. Days when the world feels less sharp. But in other ways, the impact remains, still shaping how I move through my life. This isn’t a story I ever expected to tell publicly, but silence only protects the systems that failed us. I […]

Neurodiversity is the understanding that human brains and minds naturally differ from one another. Just as biodiversity describes the variety of life on Earth, neurodiversity recognises the natural variation in how people think, learn, process information, and experience the world. Australian sociologist Judy Singer coined the term in the 1990s, representing a shift from viewing neurological differences as deficits to recognising them as natural variations of human neurology.

- [Pet Safety- Protecting Animals When Abuse or Crisis is Present](https://naavoices.com/pet-safety-protecting-animals-when-abuse-or-crisis-is-present/): Pet Safety: Protecting Animals When Abuse or Crisis Is Present For many people, a pet isn’t “just” an animal — they’re family, comfort, and sometimes the one steady source of love in a frightening home. People who abuse know this, which is exactly why pets are so often drawn into the abuse: threatened, harmed, or used as a way to keep someone from leaving. If you’ve stayed, or delayed leaving, because you couldn’t bear to abandon your pet — you are not alone, and you have not done anything wrong. Many refuges can’t accept animals, and for a long time that […]
- [Plan, Exit, Stabilise: A Practical Guide for Survivors](https://naavoices.com/the-10-day-survivor-safety-plan/): Plan, Exit, Stabilise: A Practical Guide for Survivors Leaving an abusive relationship is rarely a single moment, and almost never a straight line. Many people plan to go long before they actually do — a bag packed, a date set, a statement written — only for fear to pull them back. If that’s you, please know it isn’t failure. Trauma bonds are powerful and real, and a delayed departure is part of how leaving so often works. This guide is built to meet that reality. Instead of one overwhelming leap, it breaks the process into small, manageable steps you can take […]

At the time, no one saw what that actually meant: the trauma, the pressure, the systems failing quietly in the background. I didn’t yet understand what had been done to my nervous system, my health, or my life. I barely recognise that woman now.And that’s not a loss, it’s progress. What hasn’t changed is why I kept going.That smile from my little one still cuts through everything. It always has. I didn’t survive that period just to endure it. I […]

When I mentioned that the children with me, all diagnosed with ASD/ADHD, were struggling to stay still, he immediately understood. He shared his own late‑diagnosis story, and his honesty stayed with me. Recently, Craig posted an original song that moved me deeply, both as an adult diagnosed with ADHD and as a healthcare professional. His words […]
- [When ADHD Met PTSD: How Trauma Rewired My Brain and How Understanding That Saved Me](https://naavoices.com/when-adhd-met-ptsd-how-trauma-rewired-my-brain-and-how-understanding-that-saved-me/): Content note: This piece discusses suicidal ideation and trauma. If you’re struggling, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Resources are at the end. For 34 years, I lived with ADHD, and never once needed mental health services. I’d worked through the front line during COVID, wards, diabetes clinics, and mental health services. Thirty-hour weeks, raising three children, advocacy work on the side, a mortgage, a routine that worked. No medication. No therapy. No “management plans.” I exhibited all the familiar traits, including constant energy, rapid processing, big emotions, and the usual executive-function challenges, but I’d built systems that worked for me.

- [When Your Nervous System Remembers: Understanding Polyvagal Theory After Narcissistic Abuse](https://naavoices.com/618-2/): When Your Nervous System Remembers: Understanding Polyvagal Theory After Narcissistic Abuse A personal reflection on the neuroscience of surviving and healing I’m currently working through a coaching certificate in post-narcissistic abuse recovery, and something struck me as I read through the materials: I already knew almost everything they were teaching. Not from textbooks or lectures, but from living it. Every pattern, every response, every survival mechanism, I’d experienced it firsthand. That realisation hit hard. It’s a strange kind of grief, recognising that your trauma was severe enough to serve as your own education in abuse dynamics. However, I then came across […]
- [When the Training Becomes Personal](https://naavoices.com/when-the-training-becomes-personal-2/): When the Training Becomes Personal December 28, 2025 I’ve just completed the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery training, and it was tougher than expected. I began to deepen my understanding of supporting others through this. Facing how deeply it resonated with my own experiences required absolute honesty, humility, and resilience. This process reinforced a critical point: recovery isn’t theoretical. It’s lived, layered, and often confronting, but it’s also where meaningful transformation happens. If you’re navigating this kind of healing, you’re not “behind.” You’re doing complex work with courage and accountability. And that matters. #NarcissisticAbuseRecovery #TraumaInformedHealing #SurvivorStrong #HealingJourney #DomesticAbuseAwareness #TraumaRecovery #EmotionalAbuse #MentalHealthMatters #BoundariesMatter #FromSurvivingToThriving

A Facebook Post That Hit Hard Recently, I saw someone post on Facebook about how hard they’d worked to get their kids’ Christmas presents. They were proud, as they should be. But the comments were brutal. People judged them, mocked them, accused them of showing off. Nobody knew their circumstances. Nobody understood that their version of “going over and above” might look completely different from someone else’s. […]

- [Why Do I Do It to Myself?](https://naavoices.com/why-do-i-do-it-to-myself/): Why Do I Do It to Myself? 21 December 2025 The Kitchen Floor I collapsed on the kitchen floor, crying while washing up. Not a tidy cry. Not a “have a minute and pull yourself together” cry.The kind where your body gives up because it’s held too much for too long. And what triggered it wasn’t a siren or a court letter. It was a parcel. Two parcels, actually, two moments, two versions of me. The first arrived two weeks ago and broke me.The second came on Friday, opened on Saturday morning — and that’s the one where something finally shifted. […]
- [Mental Health and Neurodiversity - Understanding the Link](https://naavoices.com/mental-health-and-neurodiversity-understanding-the-link/): A detailed, evidence-informed blog for survivors, families, and professionals By Laura Prince | NAAVoices.com Why This Conversation Matters Neurodiversity and mental health are deeply interconnected — not because neurodivergent people are ‘predisposed’ to mental illness, but because society has historically failed to recognise, support, and accommodate different neurotypes. Research consistently shows that autistic, ADHD, and otherwise neurodivergent individuals experience higher rates of anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma responses, and chronic stress. These outcomes are shaped by unmet needs, stigma, late or missed diagnosis, and environments that demand constant masking. This is not a story of inherent deficit. It is a story of […]

Not my job—work remained my only safe haven, the one place that still made sense when nothing else did. What I lost was far more fundamental. I lost my belief that people do the right thing. I lost my trust in the world. I lost my ability to understand how humanity functions. Because when my children needed protection most, the world looked away.

Awake Again. I am lying awake again. My body will not settle. My mind will not switch off. I am exhausted, but wired. That horrible tired-but-alert feeling where sleep is nowhere to be found.

Twelve months since that day in family court when everything finally clicked into place. More than a year after I left […]

The clinic lists. The assessments. The routine pressures of general practice. You might notice that I take safeguarding seriously, that I ask different questions, that I pay attention when something doesn’t quite fit.

- [When Emergency Calm Hides a Different Kind of Crisis](https://naavoices.com/when-emergency-calm-hides-a-different-kind-of-crisis/): When Emergency Calm Hides a Different Kind of Crisis 25 November 202 Content note: This post discusses domestic abuse, child trauma, safeguarding concerns, and emergency medical situations. Two Years On — And Still Learning Two years after leaving domestic abuse, people tell me how strong I am. They see how I keep going, how I deal with whatever comes next. They are beginning to understand that control does not end when you leave. What many people still do not realise is how much children continue to carry their experiences with them. It is not just in their memories. It shows in […]

Part One of a two-part testimony on police misconduct, institutional betrayal, and the long-term impact of being failed by systems meant to protect.
- [Why Identity Validation Matters](https://naavoices.com/why-identity-validation-can-save-lives-what-the-evidence-shows/): Your identity should not be up for debate. Yet for many LGBTQ+ people, having who they are questioned, dismissed or invalidated is a repeated part of life. That is not simply upsetting. Research shows that rejection and discrimination are associated with poorer mental health, reduced help-seeking, and increased risk of harm. As a healthcare professional, parent and advocate, I have seen how powerful validation can be. Acceptance is not about ideology. It is about dignity, safety and recognising a fundamental human need. The Mental Health Reality The statistics are stark. Stonewall’s 2018 LGBT in Britain: Health report found that half of […]

- [Day 2 Pending- Breaking the Silence about West Mercia Police](https://naavoices.com/day-2-pending-breaking-the-silence-about-west-mercia-police/): Most people never hear what happens after the harm is done — especially when systems, not survivors, are protected. This post breaks the silence on the procedural failures behind the investigation into Sgt Conrad Smith, revealing how missed witnesses, delayed decisions, and institutional assumptions caused avoidable damage. This is not character assassination but a survivor’s audit of process, transparency, and the cost of silence.

Some abusers master the art of public charm while inflicting private cruelty. This piece explores the disorienting experience of being harmed by someone the world praises—where words become weapons, silence becomes punishment, and charm becomes the perfect disguise.

As Domestic Abuse Awareness Month winds down, this reflection explores how coercive control first appears as quiet devotion, slowly shrinking your world until your autonomy is traded for someone else’s comfort.

I stayed at work, managed the adrenaline, and logged into the remote hearing steady. No performance—just dates, notes, and boundaries. This is how I handled a professional standards playbook using documentation, ordinary decency, and integrity.

- [The Accountability That Never Comes from West Mercia Police](https://naavoices.com/the-accountability-that-never-comes-from-west-mercia-police/): May 28, 2024. Content note: This post discusses police corruption, domestic abuse, coercive control, and the psychological impact of institutional betrayal. Some sections describe acute mental health crisis. A year ago today, my workplace was taken from me as a safety net. The anti-corruption and professional standards team called to pop in. I had no idea that my seemingly innocuous actions would trigger a wave of panic — one that spread fast among those deeply embedded in a culture of corruption within the police force. I stood up against that misconduct. And for that, I faced the wrath of an institution […]
- [Living Behind the Mask: My Journey with PTSD](https://naavoices.com/living-behind-the-mask-my-journey-with-ptsd/): There’s a particular kind of exhaustion that comes with surviving trauma — not just the initial impact, but the daily reality of living in a world that no longer feels safe. For me, trauma arrived in two devastating waves. The first was domestic abuse that shattered my sense of home. The second was police corruption that destroyed my trust in the systems meant to protect us. Both left marks that don’t fade. The Weight of PTSD Over the last nineteen months, I’ve watched my children reclaim joy and safety. They laugh again. They sleep. They play. They are healing. My own […]
- [The Power of Truth: Advocating Against Police Misconduct](https://naavoices.com/the-power-of-truth-advocating-against-police-misconduct/): Walking Through the Corridor of Truth: A Journey of Pain, Corruption, and Resilience Last week, two friends unknowingly shared the same thought on the same day—the 11th. Little did they know that this date holds profound significance for me. It marked the day I walked down my work corridor. I confronted the shadows of my past. I decided I could no longer live a life haunted by trauma. A History of Abuse and Betrayal The trauma inflicted by my ex was deeply scarring. What worsened it was the role West Mercia Police played in exacerbating my pain. They forced me to […]
- [When Supervision Ended Before the Fear Did](https://naavoices.com/when-supervision-ended-before-the-fear-did/): A personal advocacy account of a final family court hearing and the decision to progress contact beyond supervision. It explores how coercive control can be hidden behind a convincing professional presentation, while a four-year-old child’s distress appears before and after contact rather than during the observed session.
- [The Healing Power of Connection: Lessons From My Grandmother’s Journey](https://naavoices.com/the-healing-power-of-connection-lessons-from-my-grandmothers-journey/): A reflection on my grandmother’s 25‑year journey supporting widows and widowers, and the extraordinary community she built from her own grief.

- [The Friday Everything Broke](https://naavoices.com/the-friday-everything-broke/): After my coercive control case was dropped and police corruption became undeniable, I collapsed at work. This is what despair after re-traumatisation really looks like — and why it is never a sign of weakness.
- [Finding Silence in the Midst of Overload: Navigating Safety and Trauma](https://naavoices.com/finding-silence-in-the-midst-of-overload-navigating-safety-and-trauma/): Many individuals carry the burden of trauma from relationships with narcissists, finding home a challenging space filled with anxiety and reminders of their past. Hyper-vigilance wears on the nervous system, complicating daily life and parenting. Healing takes time and small anchors like mindfulness, safe spaces, and support help reclaim one's story, emphasizing resilience and connection.
- [ADHD, RSD and Coercive Control: A Survivor’s Guide to Understanding and Awareness](https://naavoices.com/adhd-rsd-and-coercive-control-a-survivors-guide-to-understanding-and-awareness/): In July 2023 I was diagnosed with Combined Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. For the first time in my life, everything made sense. I had never realised that the constant internal restlessness I lived with was hyperactivity. I did not know it could present this way, but it is common in women and girls. I had not planned to start medication. The clinician used a simple comparison that stayed with me. If I were deficient in B12, would I take supplements? Of course I would. ADHD involves differences in dopamine regulation in parts of the brain such as the substantia nigra, ventral […]
- [When the Police Came Knocking: A Personal Journey Through Fear and Recovery](https://naavoices.com/when-the-police-came-knocking-a-personal-journey-through-fear-and-recovery/): 29 December 2024 — 11.45pm “I don’t want to be labelled as resilient or strong, nor do I want to bear the weight of those expectations. I simply want to be myself — to live freely, unshackled by the burdens of the past and the control others seek to impose on my future.” I finally managed to get up off the floor. Shaking and crying. Feeling the weight of everything that had happened. The emotional turmoil had been overwhelming. I took a deep breath, trying to regain some control. Just when I thought I might find a moment of peace, there […]

This is what kindness looks like when no one teaches it.
- [The Cost of Speaking Truth: A Year That Changed Everything](https://naavoices.com/the-cost-of-speaking-truth-a-year-that-changed-everything/): December 27, 2024 I found myself thinking about the past year this morning, and what might come next. It’s been nearly seven months since Professional Standards and Anti‑Corruption turned up at my workplace. I had no idea what was coming, and I certainly didn’t expect my life to be turned upside down all over again. It only strengthened my belief that the police are anything but incorruptible. West Mercia Police took my voice, dismissed my reality, and violated the sanctity of the abuse we had endured. They stripped me of everything, driving me to the precipice of survival. But when you’ve […]
