002 - The Girl Dressed in Yellow

Some wounds don't announce themselves. They just wait, quiet and patient, for the next time life hands you the wrong moment to fall apart.In this first episode, Vanessa opens her journal to a little girl in a yellow pageant dress who didn't hear her name called, a father who packed his boxes and left, and a woman in a red dress who ended up face down on a bathroom floor over a man who never showed up. What looks like a story about being stood up is really a story about a little girl who decided, long before she had words for it, that she wasn't enough. And about the people who stayed anyway, including a grandmother who prayed angels over her and a friend who took an eight-hour bus ride just to say, "It's still Vanessa."If you've ever measured yourself by the people who left instead of the ones who never did, this one is for you.Please follow us on:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/therapistafterdarkconfessionsTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@therapistafterdarkpod
