Amy Peterson: Transforming Trauma into Triumph
I'm very passionate about trauma recovery and our company, lion rock recovery.
Amy Peterson's story is nothing short of remarkable. As a child, she endured the unimaginable horrors of sex trafficking, leading to complex PTSD that haunted her for years. But Amy's journey didn't end in despair. Two years ago, she took a brave step by seeking help from a psychotherapist, setting off on a path of healing and transformation.
In this episode of 'The Courage to Change', Amy opens up about her traumatic past and the profound impact therapy has had on her life. She talks about how art became a lifeline, helping her cope with the lingering effects of trauma. Through her creative expressions, she found a way to document her journey and give a voice to those who often go unheard.
Beyond her personal healing, Amy balances her role as Operations Manager for an online public school while managing Klippel-Feil Syndrome, a degenerative skeletal-muscular disease. She also shares moments of joy, like cuddling up with her loving husband to watch Netflix. Amy's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit's ability to overcome even the darkest of times. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and proof that healing is possible.
