I’m Lorilee Binstock. I am a recovering trauma survivor but I like to call myself a Trauma Survivor Thriver. For more than 20 years I’ve lived with the secret and shame of childhood sexual abuse that I thought I was going to take to my grave. This secret manifested in severe anxiety, depression, a bi-polar misdiagnosis and several suicide attempts.
After seeking treatment with the help of my husband, I finally realized I didn’t have to suffer through this trauma. Facing your demons head on is a choice. It’s a hard choice and many people don’t even know where to begin. I am here to do my best to provide resources for you. Through interviews with mental health experts and my own personal story, I hope you will join me on this journey to mental wellness.
