A rated, raw and real life interaction with a survivor of severe trauma. Debbie Ali survived a 2 week abduction; she was tortured, starved and raped multiple times. Debbie was brutalized at the hands of her captors and had an NDE. Once released she was forced to develop her own coping mechanisms to navigate the horrors of life in the aftermath.
She is an international best selling author of 'Bare Feet', winner of a Lifetime Achievement Award for helping others and Debbie continues her work counseling trauma and abuse survivors around the world. This is her daily journey where she shares the horrific reality of those who have suffered as a result of trauma and all that goes with it.

Anxiety can be caused and triggered by people and situations; neither of them have pleasant mental, emotional and physical outcomes. There are techniques however that can help abate some of the more debilitating symptoms. The shaking or shortness of breath can pop up when you're alone or in a public setting...either way there are temporary solutions.

Treated as trash, I was violently thrown into a 6 feet deep hole; a literal dumping ground. Amidst the horrific fall, and severe injuries I was humiliated, degraded and my spirit broken.

My Kidnapping - Pt.1
It is safe to say that at least 3 out of every 5 women have experienced abuse, trauma or sexual assault. The ramifications of our subsequent lives are forever changed as a direct result. We are shunned by our loved ones, misunderstood by most and we are forced to suffer in silence. My 'confessions' offer a deep dive into the horrendous reality we survivors are propelled into through no fault of our own...but then ultimately we are victimized repeatedly. My goal is to remove the thick brick wall that causes the average individual to refrain for seeing and experiencing the raw, horrible truths that pass them by every single day. Instead of living with our heads buried in the sand, delve into my tragic world and explore my challenges and those faced by millions and millions of women everyday. Hear my voice as the voice of millions who are unable to speak up or forbidden to come forward. However, in the face of it all there is hope; there are anchors and skills that can help keep our heads above water so we can live to see another sunrise.
