How Trauma Therapy Cultivated My Recovery
I was 5 years old when I had my first encounter with trauma. Too young to comprehend the magnitude of the situation, my first grade class participated in a “Good Touch/Bad Touch” workshop,centered around educating and recognizing signs of sexual abuse.

Instead of giving up and resigning myself to a wheelchair and perhaps more deterioration, I looked for an MD Nephropathy specialist, who told me she can not cure me but she can help me have a better quality of life.
