Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist, and Author in Fayetteville, North Carolina
Hi, I'm Joanna, a practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with an office near Ft. Bragg, NC! I grew up an Army Brat at the end of my Dad's Army career- he retired when I was 4 years old. My Mom remained in the Reserves until I was 23, going through several activations in support of Desert Storm/Desert Shield and OIF. I didn't move around like the typical Brat, I didn't have to deal with long deployments, but I did have to deal with a Dad that had undiagnosed, untreated PTSD.
After I became a therapist, specializing in PTSD, I made the connection and the dark cloud of anger and stubborness slowly began to lift from our relationship.
