You swore you’d do it differently.
This is where you start.
A free starter kit from nurse and author Tressa L. Bell—for the survivor who became a parent and is trying to interrupt a cycle no one taught her how to name.
If you grew up bracing—scanning moods, keeping the peace, never quite safe—your body learned that. It wasn’t your fault, and it isn’t a flaw. It’s a survival skill that worked.
The First Interruption gives you somewhere to begin. Not another thing to feel guilty about. Something to do.
What’s inside
• What your nervous system actually learned—in plain language, without shame.
• The Interruption Model™—a simple, six-step map for changing course in the moment.
• Your first interruption—one small practice to try this week.
I’m Tressa Bell, RN—a registered nurse, former forensic nurse examiner, and survivor of childhood trauma and domestic violence. I write where the clinical meets the personal.
This didn’t start with you…but you can interrupt it. 🪟
