Survivors Speak LIVE – Michael’s Story (video)

It seems that the only people who truly understand how much Complex PTSD interrupts our lives, are those who live with it.

Watch Episode #2 of Survivors Speak LIVE with Michael (@_mindful_michael_ on Instagram) and hear a story of pain, of resilience, and of hope.

Completely dissociated from his childhood abuse until just 6 years ago he is suddenly faced with learning to integrate his childhood into his life as a husband and parent.

Michael shares his struggles with drug and alcohol addiction, getting proper trauma informed care, a recent heart attack, job loss, and learning to live as someone on disability with an invisible illness.
