Super excited to be interviewed on A Mighty Blaze this TODAY at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET. We'll be talking about family estrangement, difficult mothers, and why there's a cake on the cover of my memoir—which is, and isn't—about CAKE. Find us on Facebook or YouTube @amightyblaze.bsky.social

SO excited, this book will be a game-changer for anyone who has experienced trauma, the 4th trauma response is Fawning. This book is the most important self-help book of this decade and Ingrid is the real deal. See my review here: sweavermph.substack.com/p/emotional-...

"A road map for healing that's a must-read for any trauma survivor as fawning is subtle, pervasive, and corrodes all aspects of true happiness." Stephanie Weaver, MPH, author of the upcoming memoir Bitter, sweet. Fawning by Dr. Ingrid Clayton

I myself have become prone to environmental embrittlement.

wired headline: nearly all cyber trucks have been recalled because Tesla used the wrong glue. Tesla says it will fix the sticky issue which could cause panels to detach from trucks while driving with a new adhesive “not prone to environmental embrittlement“
