Zebulon Thomas is a trauma survivor, filmmaker, and author of Out of Fight or Flight.
His story is not one of inspiration packaged after the fact — it is a record of survival, healing, and return, told from inside the work itself.
After living for years with undiagnosed Complex PTSD rooted in childhood violence, emotional abandonment, and sustained fear, Zebulon entered EMDR therapy. What followed was not a quick transformation, but a slow, destabilizing, and ultimately grounding process of learning how to feel safe again — in his body, his memories, and his voice.
Rather than writing about healing once it was complete, Zebulon wrote through it.
Out of Fight or Flight was shaped session by session, memory by memory, inside real EMDR therapy — capturing what recovery actually feels like in real time: dissociation, resistance, protector responses, breakthroughs, grief, and the gradual return of safety.
Today, Zebulon speaks and writes from lived experience — not as a clinician, but as someone who sat in the client’s chair and did the work. His voice bridges trauma awareness, faith sensitivity, and ethical boundaries, creating space for conversations that honor pain without bypassing it.
He does not offer fixes.
He offers presence.
And the truth that healing, while slow and uneven, is possible.
