From Survival to Self-Worth: Carrie Davidson on CPTSD, Trauma & her memoir "addicted to trauma"

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses trauma, human trafficking in Mexico, addiction, abuse and CPTSD.

In this episode of AuDHD and Then Some, Ellie speaks with registered nurse, CPTSD survivor, trauma-informed coach and author Carrie Davidson about complex PTSD, trauma recovery, self-worth, addiction, survival and learning to rebuild your life after profound trauma.

Carrie shares parts of her extraordinary story, including her experience of human trafficking in Mexico and the impact trauma has had on her life.

We explore how Carrie's career in nursing and her ability to hyperfocus helped carry her through periods of trauma, while also discussing the reality that achievement, knowledge and professional success cannot necessarily allow someone to escape CPTSD.

Carrie talks openly about doing the work on yourself, rebuilding self-worth, understanding trauma responses and learning practical strategies to live alongside CPTSD while continuing to hope for further healing in the future.

This is a powerful and honest conversation about what happens when survival is no longer enough and you begin the difficult process of taking your life back.

Carrie's memoir, Addicted to Trauma: A Memoir of CPTSD, Addiction, and Taking My Life Back, is available through her website.
