About Us
Trauma and the Brain was born from survival — and from a need to make sense of what was happening inside my own head.
In 2019, a sudden medication change triggered a severe psychotic episode that landed me in the hospital for five days. When I came home, I was trapped inside my panic. I couldn’t leave the house I was living in. My nervous system was stuck in overdrive, my mind was my enemy, and no one around me knew how to help.
Recovery didn’t happen overnight. It took years of learning, unlearning, and rebuilding — studying the brain like my life depended on it, because it did. In that process, I discovered how deeply trauma shapes who we are, how we think, and how we connect. And I realized something important: most of us are walking around with unspoken stories our brains are still trying to process.
Trauma and the Brain began as a way to give those stories language. What started as a few posts online became a growing community of over 80,000 people — and now, a full platform dedicated to helping others understand their minds and find a sense of strength within them.
This is a space built on safety, education, and human connection — where we learn together, speak openly and vulnerably, and train our minds the way others train their bodies.
