trauma.chat
A place to heal.
I showed the site to another person (who has previously given push back on lakebed.io, so I know she doesn't mince words). She said the site looks great. "When I had my near-fatal crash I wished for a coach or mentor; someone who's been through this and can guide me." explained the concept really well, and she immediately understood the value proposition. She offered to introduce me to counsellors she knows, which implies she sees value and is willing to put her reputation on the line.
A trauma-physio, a death doula, and a person recovering from trauma have all said it's a good idea and the site looks good. No one has said $50/month is too much so that's a good sign too.
Now to do some marketing without being an "ambulance chaser".

Athletic tape can be helpful to reduce the possibility of ankle inversion and eversion in the subtalar joint. It can also be beneficial in lowering plantar and dorsiflexion of the ankle joint. By protecting against the joints' excessive range of motion, taping can help reduce the risk of injury during competition or training. Athletes who have had previous ankle injuries can use Tape https://dunbarmedical.com/product-category/taping-wrapping-padding/athletic-tape/ to support ankle structures help wounds heal more quickly and thoroughly. Incidentally, It is also helpful for temporarily immobilizing certain parts of the ankle joint immediately after a fracture or severe sprain.

Thanks. I now define trauma as "In most cases it is an unimaginable event out of the range of what you expected to handle.", which came from Healing Together. So yes, divorce could easily be considered trauma. It catches you off guard and no one is trained to cope with separation from a loved one.
This project has stalled b/c I'm at a loss on how to market it without being an ambulance chaser.
I'm happy to have anyone involved in any way they want. Really the idea is about healing and support those in trauma so whatever works is good.

No, no one has told me I'm an ambulance chaser. So it is just an internal feeling. I just feel like to be successful you have to be "in front of people when they need it" and the only way to do that is to target people in the midst of trauma.
I will think on it and get back to it in the very near future.

When my crash happened I wished I had someone who had been through trauma & recovery before; it was all new to me. As I slowly recovered I wanted to write about my own recovery to help others who may have to go through it. I had trouble getting motivated and organizing my thoughts for writing. More recently, I've been looking at replika.ai, a personal chatbot. It occurred to me, that a personal, private chat might be the way to support those recovering from trauma.
