Trauma Recovery | April Cadran

Sharing my story about trauma, survival, and lived experience.

This website is a place where I share my journey toward strength, healing, and connection. Here, I share the challenges I’ve encountered, from my early childhood through adulthood. For a long time, I carried my story in silence, burdened by fears of judgment and misunderstanding. In creating this space, I want to confront those experiences, bringing awareness to the realities of trauma and abuse.

As you navigate through the chapters of my life, along with blog posts and advocacy efforts, I hope you find reflections on trauma, resilience, and the complicated path to recovery. My writing comes from a place of lived experience, and I want to create a space for understanding, connection, and a sense of community for anyone who may feel isolated in their own struggles.

You are welcome here, and it is my hope that as you explore these pages, you might discover pieces of your own story. Together, let’s break the silence and embrace the healing that comes from sharing our struggles and healing journey.

I am April Cadran

I write about trauma that began in early childhood and shaped everything that came after. More followed in adolescence and adulthood, and the weight of those experiences stayed with me. I speak openly about survival, silence, and resilience, and how they’ve shaped the person I am today. This site is where I share what I’ve been carrying alone for too long.
