D'Ann is an artist, mother, cancer survivor, and addict in 20+ years of recovery, who has spent her life struggling with the effects of complex trauma.  Being diagnosed in 1998 at age 31 with PTSD helped her understand what she struggled with and why.  In spite of doing her best to avoid it, she became disabled in 2002.  Today, she's a trauma recovery coach, using her experience and skills to teach others that each of us holds the keys to our own healing, and we can use them to free ourselves from the devastations of unresolved trauma.

This week on Tending Trauma we talk about D'Ann's personal journey towards healing and a breakdown of what it means to heal.
