Thrown out as a teen for leaving the religion, Caitlin spent years battling depression, anxiety, psychosis, and addiction. Her family dismissed her struggles, labeling her as schizophrenic instead of offering support—even during hospital stays. After surviving religious trauma, family betrayal, and unimaginable loss, Caitlin has been sober for years and now works as a certified Life and Success Coach. She shares her story to help others realize they’re not alone—and that healing is possible. Caitlin’s Links: There is an amazing community of professionals who assist with healing that Caitlin contributes towards. The services and resources are offered virtually.
