A GUIDE FROM PELAGUS VITAE

What Women
Carry.

A guide for women in recovery.

Most recovery frameworks were built by men, for men. This guide names some of what women in recovery often carry, but rarely name out loud, and what tends to help.

Colin, Co-Founder of Pelagus Vitae

Colin has spent the last decade around people in early recovery, and the families who love them. He co-founded Pelagus Vitae to build the kind of aftercare he wishes had existed for him.

Everything Colin writes about women's recovery is drawn from a decade of working alongside women in recovery, not from his own experience. This guide is written with that humility built in.

Common questions.

Colin is a man. Should a man be writing this?

A fair question. This guide is written from a decade of listening to women in recovery, not from a claim to know their experience. If you'd rather hear the same material from a woman on our team, email colin@pelagusvitae.com and we'll respond.

Is this only for women in early recovery?

No. Some of what it names applies to women years into recovery who never had these patterns spoken about openly.
