You’ve been trapped by your trauma… but you can break free and start to enjoy your life again. Discover how. Your PTSD is unique to you, and you may not suffer from exactly the same symptoms as someone else…but your way out of the darkness is the same.

Painful childhoods naturally result in many sticky obstacles to adult success, ranging from distrust in others to self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors. Chronic family stress prompts a young brain to create deeply ingrained physical and mental habits that help survive childhood but later work against you in adulthood, often resulting in diagnoses like depression, bipolar, ADD, post-traumatic stress disorder, and Complex PTSD.
