Queenslanders can now access a landmark public s*x offender register, giving residents the ability to view the names, photos and details of almost 4,000 convicted child s*x offenders.
The searchable online database allows the public to access information about offenders who are subject to reporting conditions under Queensland law.

Known as Daniel’s Law, in honour of murdered Sunshine Coast schoolboy Daniel Morcombe, the register publishes the names and images of high-risk child s*x offenders. It will also include offenders who have failed to comply with reporting requirements and whose whereabouts are unknown, though no individuals are currently listed in that category.

Residents can apply to view images of offenders living in their local area by verifying their identity through a Queensland digital ID and a driver’s licence or other approved identification. Parents and guardians may also apply to check whether a person who has unsupervised contact with their child is a reportable offender.

The register will be managed by Queensland Police, who welcomed its official launch on Wednesday.

Parasocial bonds often form when the trauma brain is longing for safety, not closeness.
That doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It means your brain learned to reach toward what felt steady, familiar and non threatening when real connection wasn’t reliably safe.

The work isn’t about shutting that down or judging yourself.
It’s about gently experiencing the difference between felt connection and relational connection - so you can invest your energy where it can actually be received.

Trauma-trained reminder:

You’re allowed to connect with one real person before spreading your energy outward
You’re allowed to learn from others without attaching to them
You’re allowed to appreciate someone without assuming closeness
And professionals are allowed to be visible without being relationally available

Connection that heals is slow, mutual and grounded in presence - not access, familiarity or shared platforms.

Gentle truth: choosing depth with one safe person is not limitation.It’s how safety is rebuilt.

Save this if it puts words to something you’ve felt but never quite named.

These aren’t character flaws.
They’re ways the brain learned to adapt when stability wasn’t available.

Noticing them isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about understanding what shaped you, gently and without blame.

Awareness isn’t the finish line.
It’s the beginning of integration, at your own pace.

Many adults with CPtsd don’t lose themselves suddenly.
They were never given the space to stay connected to themselves in the first place.

Connection often meant being responsible.
Being attuned.
Being needed.

Over time, that can create closeness without being met.
Involvement without presence.

If this resonates, nothing is wrong with you.
These patterns once kept connection possible.

Recovery isn’t about becoming less caring.
It’s about learning how to stay connected to yourself while in relationship.

Save this if it names something you’ve felt but never had words for.

It’s late December.

For many women living with CPtsd, this season isn’t light or joyful.
It’s heavy in quiet ways.

It often brings
🔋 emotional fatigue
🧩 relational pressure
🧠 family-of-origin activation
🤍 grief mixed with ‘I should be grateful’
😮💨 the exhaustion of holding it together while the world gets louder

If this resonates, nothing is wrong with you.
Your brain is responding to history, memory and meaning – not failure.

You don’t need to perform gratitude.
You don’t need to explain yourself.
You don’t need to be okay to belong.

This season can be survived gently.
One boundary. One pause. One honest moment at a time.

If you recognised yourself here, you’re not alone – and you’re not late. You’re right on time.
No urgency.
No expectation.
Just an open door when you’re ready.

🎄 Merry Christmas from Down Under 🇦🇺

While some are wrapped in snow, we’re over here navigating heat, food comas and the eternal pavlova debate.

Days like this can hold a strange mix.
There’s the fun and the laughter… and there are tender places the brain hasn’t quite filed away yet. Both can exist at once.

Today looks simple here:
✨ conversations that feel connected
🍲 cooking together in the kitchen
😴 some napping, some laughing
🎁 Rosie lighting up over her gifts
🤍 friends drifting in
😌 the quiet relief of not needing to perform

I’m reminded how healing rarely arrives wrapped in one big moment. It shows up in small, ordinary connections… where our brains feel safe enough to soften and relax for a while.

And honestly, that’s enough.

From sunny Brisvegas to wherever you are, I’m glad you’re here. From my heart to yours sincere heart hugs dispensed as needed.

With care,
Linda 💝

Did you recognise yourself in the hypervigilance or hypovigilance posts? 💭

That moment of recognition can feel grounding
and unsettling at the same time.
Because once you see it, the next question is often
“Okay… now what do I do with this?”

What you’re noticing is your brain doing what it learned to do to survive.

🧠 Hypervigilance shows up as scanning, bracing, overthinking, staying alert
🧠 Hypovigilance shows up as numbing, going quiet, disconnecting, pulling away

Neither is a failure.
Both are protective.

What helps next isn’t fixing yourself or explaining it all away.
It’s giving the experience somewhere safe to land.

That might look like
🌿 writing a few lines about what’s happening inside, not why
🎙️ speaking it into a voice note instead of holding it alone
🤍 sharing it with a professional who can contain it with you
🪶 noticing whether you tend to spill it out… or shut it down

This isn’t about bleeding over others.
And it’s not about swallowing it either.

It’s about gently recognising your internal state
driven by a brain that learned survival early
without becoming lost inside it.

We’ll keep unpacking this together
slowly, clearly and safely.

If this post made something quietly fall into place for you, you’re not behind.
You’re not late.
You’re responding to clarity when your system is ready for it.

This work is for people who are tired of carrying everything internally, especially through family dynamics, relational strain and long-held trauma patterns. It’s for those who want change that actually holds up in real life, not just insight that sounds good.

When you’re ready, there are pathways of support available, both for individuals and professionals, through trauma-trained practitioners who understand CPtsd at a brain-based level.

Holiday Boundaries for Unsupportive Families

If you’re showing up where you’re not emotionally safe, keep this close:

🧠 Worth check
Your worth is not measured by their reactions, comments, silence, or expectations.

🧍♀️ Self-definition
Your worth is shown in how you protect yourself - not in how well you endure others.

🚪 Exit permission
You’re allowed to leave early. You don’t need a dramatic reason.

📱 Backup support
Have professional support within reach if things tip fast.

📚 Grounding anchor
Bring something that keeps you intact - book, game, colouring, headphones.

🛑 Boundary reality
If their rigidity causes distress, that’s information. Honour it.

Protecting yourself isn’t rude. It’s adult.

For some people, Christmas isn’t festive – it’s heavy.

It’s the tiredness that doesn’t lift.
The money stress.
The broken sleep.
The family visit you’re dreading – or the family member who isn’t there anymore.

If December feels like a slow emotional downhill run, you’re not imagining it.

There were years when Christmas marked the beginning of loss for me too.
A parent dying.
Then the first Christmas without them.
Then more goodbyes.
Divorce.
Christmases without my children.
Grief layered on grief while life kept moving forward anyway.

And then I realised I can choose joy to exist alongside the grief.
Not instead of it.
With it.

Today, I’m preparing Christmas with my adult children and my granddaughter.
There is love here.
There is care.
There is meaning.

What I’ve learned - the long, slow way - is this:
There’s no shortcut around grief.
AND there is life on the other side of courage.
Courage to lean on others.
Courage to let joy coexist with pain.
Courage to keep living when you weren’t taught how.

If this season is hard for you - you’re not weak.
You’re human.
And you’re not alone.

with love and care,
Linda x

Hypovigilance

What it is:
Your brain dampens awareness to conserve energy after long-term overload.

You might recognise it as:
• Missing cues, red flags, or rising tension until it’s obvious
• Feeling disconnected, foggy, or “not fully here”
• Delayed reactions – things hit you hours or days later
• Struggling to track conversations, tasks, or decisions
• Feeling flat, numb, or strangely calm in situations others find stressful

(This isn’t laziness or indifference – it’s a brain protecting itself from overload.)
If hypervigilance burns energy by over-scanning,
hypovigilance drains energy by under-engaging – both lead to exhaustion.

Hypervigilance

What it is:
Your brain stays on constant threat-detection, even when life looks “normal”.

You might recognise it as:
• Watching people’s tone, mood, or facial changes
• Replaying conversations to check if you upset someone
• Feeling on edge even during calm moments
• Struggling to fully relax or switch off
• Feeling exhausted without “doing” anything obvious

(This isn’t anxiety – it’s a brain trained to prevent danger.)

Coercive Control: Why Smart Women Miss the Signs

Most women don’t miss abuse because they’re naïve.
They miss it because they were taught to look for bruises.

If there’s no hitting, no yelling, no “obvious” violence, we assume it can’t be abuse.
So we minimise the control.
We rationalise the pressure.
We doubt ourselves instead of the behaviour.

This comes up constantly in real conversations - friends at dinner, educated women, capable women - all saying some version of:
“Yeah, but he never hit me.”

Coercive control works precisely because it doesn’t look dramatic.
It looks like confusion.
Exhaustion.
Self-doubt.
