The Letters Beside Your Name: Credentialed Care, Performative Allyship, and Real Harm

from Unspoken · host Kate

In this raw and unflinching spoken word poem, Kate explores the rupture that occurs when therapists speak the language of trauma-informed care—but fail to embody it. The Letters Beside Your Name holds space for survivors who have been retraumatized by silence, by absence, and by clinicians who disappear just when attachment becomes real.This episode confronts the gap between theory and presence, between credentials and compassion. It’s about the cost of waiting, the grief of reenacted abandonment, and the sacredness of trust in therapy.If you’ve ever felt too much, too loud, or too real for the person who promised to hold you—this is for you.Copyright ©2025 Kate EarleyMusic: Dietro Casa by Ludovico EinaudiWritten: May 18, 2025
