Hi! I'm Windy, a bi-racial military brat - born in Asia and raised for 17 years without roots stationed across the US and overseas. I am also a survivor of childhood sexual trauma, managing co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. I have traced my mental health and substance abuse issues to childhood trauma and toxic family of origin. I know, it's a lot to juggle, but I bet my story sounds familiar, right? I have attended years of in-person therapy and Intensive Outpatient Groups for Major Depression, Anxiety, PTSD and poly-substance abuse. (For the record, if anyone tries to take my caffeine addiction away - that's a hard NO!) At one point, I was incarcerated as a result of my substance abuse and found myself trying to figure out how to kill myself in jail. I survived by getting intensive treatment, researching alternative/complementary therapies to medication and finding support groups to share my story. I am learning to love myself, discover my true identity and find some moments of peace and laughter along the way. If there is anything I can do to support and prevent another person from slipping into a dark hole contemplating suicide...I've been there. It's why I got certified as a PRSS. Let's talk, let's try to laugh and let's heal together. Ps- I LOVE knitting (it helped me quit smoking), I HATE chores (my house is a mess) AND I'm trying REALLY hard to stop swearing (as much) this year
