A memoir · 2026
A book about what it actually takes to walk out of the pattern, and into a life that finally feels like yours.

A working draft, summer 2025.
Addicted to Trauma is the story of how a nurse, trained to read other people’s emergencies, finally learned to read her own. It is about the quiet, daily work of unlearning the love story you were handed.
It moves through CPTSD and addiction, family inheritance, and the strange grief of leaving the version of you who knew how to survive but never how to rest.
It is also a love letter to the readers walking the same road, proof that the way home is slower, kinder, and more possible than you’ve been told.
