As a trauma therapist, I work with adolescents and adults who have histories of loss and trauma, many who have coped by developing raging eating disorders, addictions, self-harm behaviors, unexplainable rage, etc. Simultaneously, I am navigating my own journey of recovery from Complex PTSD. Over the years, I have realized that, although at times we can only feel darkness, there is in fact light to be found find in the aftermath of loss and trauma.
Yet, when I look around, I still see a world full of trauma survivors who are carrying so much shame, guilt, anger, and fear. I see how trauma causes us to cope in ways that can be life-threatening. From my own experiences and throughout my career, I have realized that despite the many trauma warriors that are already in this field, fighting to spread awareness and messages of hope, there is still so much work to be done.
Thus, the goal of the podcast is to help trauma survivors fight the stigma of trauma and learn to reclaim our lives.
