As I interview Amelia, we go deep into trauma and how writing it all changed her point of view, healed her, and gave her voice back. "I got so much more than a healing; I found my voice!"


The act of expressive writing lights up your neurology and everything connected to deeper negative emotions, limiting beliefs, and trauma. A writer automatically has a third-person view while writing it all out, which alters the trauma; there is a lesson that allows the beliefs behind the trauma to be rewritten. As you write the book, blog, or journal entry, your brain is rewriting the actual memory. The rewriting of past events is cathartic and leads to a deeper transformation than you could ever imagine. 


Amelia Zachry:


I suffered a major trauma; rape at age 19. The immense trauma from being ostracized and shamed brought to surface Bipolar Disorder to pair my diagnosis of PTSD. The manic and depressive states of bipolar disorder color my sense of being, mothering and relationships. My story is one rife with pain and struggles to function in a world my mind will not align to during the sprinkling of episodes.


I hope my memoir will help others going through the same grief or those with loved ones coping with this pain, to find solace and comfort in a possibility of a life with the pain. A functioning life that is ours.
