Joyelle Brandt - Parenting with PTSD

Joyelle was sexually abused at 11 by a high-school boy, which became the grounds for bullying and isolation. As an adult, she thrived and became a talented vocalist and teacher. Joyelle felt like she had done the work of dealing with her past traumas: she had gone to therapy, practiced yoga and meditation. And then she had kids and her trauma came barging in. Postpartum depression hit hard and she felt so isolated and shameful. She knew she could not be alone, struggling to parent with PTSD, and so she created an online community and published a book. And she became a coach, to help others parents with trauma learn how to heal and break the cycle.

Bio:

Joyelle is a speaker, mothering coach, and multi-media creator, working to break the silence that keeps childhood abuse survivors stuck in shame and self-hatred. She illustrated and self-published the children’s picture book Princess Monsters from A to Z, a book about accepting all the “monstrous” parts of ourselves that we might feel are un-loveable. Together with Dawn Daum she formed an online community for parenting survivors of childhood abuse and created the anthology Parenting with PTSD.
