Both editions of What Happened To Me will educate you about pimp, familial, and gang trafficking. It is filled with survivor stories (with their permission) as well as my own story of trafficking. Each story has a purpose and that is to help those who have been trafficked understand what happened to them. It will also help those who work with survivors understand the life of trafficking from many different perspectives. In addition to the real life experiences, you will learn about the healing process and how the brain responded to the trauma of trafficking. 

 

I believe that if each person who has been trafficked can understood how they were forced, coerced, or manipulated into trafficking that they could break the trauma bond that was formed with their trafficker and reduce the recidivism rate of being re-exploited. 

​

The 2nd edition includes a study guide for those who are facilitating groups or would like to dig deeper into their experience.
