🌀 Written from inside real EMDR therapy, not after recovery was complete

🌀 Offers a rare view of complex PTSD healing as it actually unfolds

🌀 Trauma-informed by design — no shock value, no glamorized pain

🌀 Honors the body’s experience, not just cognitive insight

🌀 Bridges lived experience with clinical accuracy and emotional truth

This book was written for:

🌀 Trauma survivors looking for language, validation, and safety

🌀 Counselors and therapists who want to understand what EMDR feels like from the client’s chair

🌀 Loved ones seeking to better understand complex trauma and nervous system survival

It meets readers where they are — whether they are still surviving, just beginning to feel, or learning how to name what happened.

🌀 EMDR therapy as a path to nervous system regulation

🌀 Complex PTSD and emotional flashbacks

🌀 Childhood abuse and survival adaptations

🌀 Dissociation and protective parts

🌀 Somatic memory and body-based trauma

🌀 Safe-place imagery, grounding, and integration

🌀 Faith, therapy, and the rebuilding of trust

We all carry things we were never meant to hold alone.

Out of Fight or Flight tells the story of what happens when a trauma survivor stops running from memory — and discovers that the truth doesn’t destroy you.

It frees you.

“I’ve never read a trauma memoir that felt so real, so safe, and so needed. I finally feel seen.”
