Digging Through Dominoes

About Digging Through Dominoes

Are you constantly wondering what the hell is wrong with me? Why don’t I trust people? Why do the same things keep happening over and over again? Is there something wrong with me? Why don’t I ever feel like I’m enough? HOW DO I CHANGE MY LIFE?! Then it’s time to grab your coffee, or wine, or whatever you need and curl up on the couch with these real and inspiring conversations with Teri Anderson of Digging Through Dominoes. Don’t be surprised if you see glimpses of yourself as Teri shares her very real (sometimes hard to believe) stories. From childhood neglect to abusive relationships, she’s seen her fair share of hardships and KNOWS the feelings of unworthiness, hopelessness and despair. But she fought her way through to where she is today – fighting the good fight to live a good life, learning about herself and how to love herself. More importantly, she wants to share that hope and optimism that she’s gained through enduring the hardest of times. In a world where depression and anxiety are growing, and PTSD is finally being recognized, we all need a safe place to go and be heard and understood. Digging through Dominoes is that place. It’s the place to be if you’ve experienced any sort of mental, physical or emotional trauma. It’s a safe haven that welcomes you in, but isn’t afraid to talk about what hurts the most. The stories may be hard but they are REAL and there is hope at the end of the day! Teri’s mission is to let you know that you’re safe, you’re definitely not alone, and to never give up because there is always hope!

   When Your Life Doesn't Look Like You Thought It Would #grief #loss #trauma #freedom

   Grief. Sometimes, you look at your life and realize the future you pictured at twenty-three simply isn’t coming. It isn’t a loss you can mark with a funeral or flowers, which makes it incredibly isolating. In this episode, I want to talk about the reality of nonfinite loss—those moments where you realize the path you are on looks nothing like the one you assumed was waiting for you. We often carry this weight alone because it feels like a secret. This is a form of disenfranchised grief that doesn’t get acknowledged by the people around us. Whether it is about career expectations, the family you hoped to build, or the relationships you thought would last, understanding this pain is a necessary part of recovery. When you live with complex trauma, healing isn’t about forcing yourself to want what everyone else wants; it is about finding the courage to accept the road you are actually on.

   What Everyone Missed When I Was Crying Out For Help S5 E4

   Have you ever looked back at a version of yourself and barely recognized the person staring back at you? A few weeks ago, I found a stack of old journals. Dusty notebooks I’d forgotten existed. I opened them expecting memories. What I found instead was a map. Page by page, entry by entry, I watched myself disappear. I watched a woman who was exhausted, overwhelmed, confused, and desperately trying to make sense of what was happening inside her own mind. I watched someone crying for help without even knowing how to ask for it. What shocked me most wasn’t how bad things got. It was how obvious it seems now. The pain was right there in black and white. The fear was there. The hopelessness was there. The loneliness was there. Yet at the time, people told me I was attention-seeking. They told me to snap out of it. They told me to think positive. What they didn’t see was that I was fighting battles I couldn’t even explain. And if I’m being honest, there were moments when I wasn’t sure how much longer I could keep going. Today, I’m going to share parts of that journey. Not because I want sympathy. Not because I want to relive the pain. But because someone listening right now may be where I was. Someone may be feeling broken, misunderstood, exhausted, misdiagnosed, overmedicated, or completely alone. And I want you to know something: You are not alone. I know because I’ve been there. These journals tell the story of my fall, the wrong turns, the labels that never fit, the medications that made things worse, the moments I thought I’d never find my way back, and ultimately, how I rebuilt my life piece by piece. This is the story of losing sight of the sun. And how, eventually, I found it again.
