Talk 1-on-1 with a Peer Specialist About Trauma recovery

Trauma recovery is rarely linear. It is slow, layered, and full of moments that catch you off guard. A 1-on-1 session with a Peer Specialist offers a private place to talk about that arc with someone who has lived it.

CPSS, Art Therapy Facilitator, Creative, Trauma Survivor, Narcissistic Abuse Survivor, Bipolar, STE, Spiritual Emergence. After a sharp hit to the skull, I had my first psychosis at the age of 33. Rather than getting imaging done, the ER assumed it was psychological and sent a psychiatrist to diagnose me with bipolar disorder. No physical check was done, no evaluation of my past family trauma. I believe I had a Spiritually Transformative Experience or Spiritual Emergence. I've had a few since then and have realized that I want to be a part of fixing a broken health care system. I've survived emotionally immature parents (a complacent mother and narcissistically abusive father), abusive siblings, and I'm still working on myself to this day. Writing has helped me with perspective, I hope to publish my memoir soon. I am also an artist who is certified as an art therapy facilitator to compliment my CPSS (certified peer support specialist) that I received in the state of Arizona.

I am passionate about advocating for victims of trauma, domestic violence, strangulation, brain injury, and recovery. As a survivor, I bring my lived experiences to the changes I want to see in the world. When I started my recovery journey, I wish peer support had been an option. I am so grateful it is now. It is an honor to be a part of it. On the personal/hobby side, I enjoy cooking, baking, gardening, and spending time with my family. Pinterest is my happy place! One day, I'll get around to making all of the recipes I've pinned, and my yard will be a showstopper with my DIY projects.

Why it helps

How a Peer Specialist helps with trauma recovery

A Peer Specialist helps with trauma recovery because the in-between stages of healing are often invisible to others. A private session can help you talk honestly, hear what your specialist learned along the way, and feel less alone in the parts of recovery that are not neatly labeled.

Frequently asked questions

What does a 1-on-1 trauma recovery Peer Specialist session help with?

Sessions help you talk about the long arc of healing, including triggers, body responses, identity changes, and rebuilding safety after trauma.

Is this trauma therapy?

No. Peer Specialists offer lived-experience peer support. Many people use it alongside trauma-informed therapy, not in place of it.

Do I have to talk about what happened in detail?

No. The session is paced by you. Many people focus on present-day impact and what helps, without retelling the trauma itself.
