D'Ann is an artist, mother, cancer survivor, abuse survivor, and an addict in 20+ years of recovery, who has spent most of her life struggling with the effects of complex trauma.

Being diagnosed in 1989 at age 31 with PTSD and Dissociative Identity Disorder helped her understand what she struggled with and why. In spite of doing her best to avoid it, she became disabled in 2002.

Having discovered that the latest science intersects with and supports her faith, she’s combined that knowledge with her experience and skills as a trauma recovery coach, teaching others that each of us holds the keys to our own healing and how we can use them to free ourselves from the devastations of unresolved trauma.

She can be found on Facebook; her personal profile is D’Ann Smith

My parents were hard working city kids from Newark N.J. and they were both out of their minds. I spent a great deal of my life brushing it off and pretending things were great but they weren't and here I am amazed that I survived at all. My sister didn't and the jury is still out on my brother although I'm always rooting for him. Writing, for me, is an escape, a way out. I could let myself go in some poem or write a forgettable tune on guitar and for a time i would feel almost normal. Almost, but not quite.

I was in the first grade when I wrote my first poem "Tracks in Snow" and then later on I figured out how to write a clever Haiku. When I was committed to rehab at 15 years old (about 2 years before I used any drugs at all), I wrote a novel's worth of poetry and short stories which were summarily thrown away by my mother as garbage and unclean.. Oh well. This may be TMI but it all leads me to here, this place in time where I have written and published my first real work. Work. That's what it really is, was, will be.

For years I tried to write something worthy of a next step but I never made the connection to misery and self loathing that makes it possible, for me anyway. When Allan died I had to write about it. I was angry, I felt jipped, and I was finally at a place in my life where I could see a little clearer and grind through the angst. Thank you for taking the time to meet me. I'll see you in my next story.
