Debbie was a counsellor for twenty-five years. She developed Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) and Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES) as a result of severe childhood abuse and trauma throughout her life, rendering her unable to work. Debbie now enjoys a very simple life, and is surrounded by nature where she is on a path of healing. She tells her story of determination and hope so it will inspire others. Debbie's account of her ordeals, although sometimes difficult to read, will encourage others to face struggles head-on with courage. Debbie's husband says she is ""A force to be reckoned with."" Her innate drive has enabled her to overcome adversities which were meant to destroy her. Debbie believes our society is going through a preventable mental health crisis. The general public simply needs to take action to protect our children from trauma, and Debbie aims to help spread the education.
