Inhaltsangabe

Your body knew before you did.

The prickle at the back of the neck. The tightening in the chest. The quiet voice that says something is wrong here—even when everyone around you insists you're imagining things.

We are taught, especially as women, to override that voice. To be reasonable. Agreeable. Easy. To call our intuition anxiety and our clarity crazy. Chel Cartmill spent years doing exactly that—until the covert emotional abuse beneath her marriage cost her nearly everything.

Spider on My Neck is the story of a woman who learned—slowly, painfully, and not without a sharp sense of humor—to stop abandoning herself. It's about the kind of harm that leaves no marks. The slow disappearing act of becoming who everyone else needs. And the moment the life you've been holding together falls apart in your hands, and you find there was a whole person underneath all along.

This is a memoir for anyone who has silenced a gut feeling to keep the peace. Anyone who has mistaken control for love, or attention for being seen. Anyone rebuilding from a season that nearly undid them, one honest day at a time.

It is fierce and tender. Devastating and, somehow, funny.

Your body has been trying to tell you something. This is the story of what happened when she finally listened.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Chel Cartmill helps people find their footing when life looks different than they expected, or different than they want it to. As a Next Chapter Transition Specialist with coaching experience since 2007, she guides men and women through divorce, grief in all its forms, broken relationships and the longing for a fuller life - stronger relationships, a steadier sense of self and a deeper connection to what matters.Chel's work goes beyond conversation to deliver the tangible results clients actually come for: the ability to quiet the thoughts spiral, trust their own judgment and move forward with real clarity. Her "how-to" approach equips people to break old patterns, get out of their heads and into their bodies, helping many find their voice for the first time. By teaching practical tools like emotional regulation, breathwork, mindfulness and embodiment work, she partners alongside every client as a neutral observer, encourager and compassionate guide - direct, judgment-free and present through the whole process.Chel holds multiple advanced certifications, including Trauma-Informed Master Coach, Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), Reset Breathwork Facilitator, Grief Coach, and Divorce Coach. She is the author of Spider on My Neck. She lives in Florida with her husband and their German Shorthaired Pointer, and is never happier than when she is surrounded by family, out on the water, up in the mountains, or discovering a place she has never been before.
