I was in my thirties when I went through a horrendous experience. I was dealing with a childhood abuse issue when a well meaning therapist / healer tried to force the trauma out of me. I didn’t know anything about trauma at the time, I just knew I wanted the dysfunctional pattern in my life to stop. I now know the last thing you want to do is try and  force trauma out. The short of it is my nervous system was completely compromised. I went from leading what would be considered a successful life to becoming unstable in all ways. I lost everything. I was broke within 18 months and homeless within 3 years. I was forced to go on a mad search to find out what the hell happened to me and how to get my life back.
