So, if I'm hearing you correctly...???

Be mindful and judicious about when we share our traumatic experiences. Make sure it's relevant to the content about which we're writing. Recount it as a tool that can help lift others up, for when they're experiencing parallel/similar dynamics of their own. Cap it off with a call-to-action or a teachable moment for the reader, rather than just as an attempt to earn pity.

Accurate?
