Trauma and addiction as one wound
The unified thesis: addiction understood not as a moral failure but as a symptom of an unfelt wound, the same wound telling itself in two languages.
Speaking
Topics Carrie speaks and writes about
Every topic comes from the work itself: the memoir, the method, and both sides of the chart. For stages, podcasts, panels, and trainings.
Staying human in an increasingly automated world
The soul is the point, and some things were never meant to be automated: why creativity, regulation, and human presence matter more, not less, as the world speeds up.
High-functioning trauma
Why the more capable you look, the more invisible the suffering becomes, even to you, and what it takes to finally become your own patient.
The nurse who became her own patient
A lived-experience story told with clinical fluency: understanding your patterns perfectly and still being unable to stop.
Nervous-system regulation: why insight isn’t enough
Self-aware and still stuck: how bottom-up, body-based work gives a dysregulated nervous system new evidence that safety is possible.
ADHD or trauma?
How nervous-system dysregulation can look like ADHD, and why the distinction matters for how people understand themselves.
For nursing associations and health systems
The keynote for healthcare audiences comes out of Both Sides of the Bed, a somatic workbook for nurses and healthcare workers arriving in spring 2027: burnout, moral injury, secondary traumatic stress, and practices that take under two minutes. Forty-five minutes plus questions, with a longer version suitable for continuing education settings.
The same story I tell in private, told into a microphone.

What makes her perspective different?
She has been on both sides of the chart. Carrie Davidson spent five years in nursing, three as a nursing assistant in the emergency room and two as a registered nurse in cardiology and oncology critical care, then became the patient who could not remember her own name. She speaks from lived recovery, grounded in clinical training and a method built from it.
