The Trauma Therapist

Amanda Anderson is a speaker and resilience teacher who draws on her lived experience with trauma, loss, and adversity to help others rebuild meaning and strength.

Having endured family deaths, a stroke, divorce, and frontline trauma that “rewired her nervous system,” Amanda brings more than 17 years of work in NLP, resilience, and real-world mental health to her talks and coaching. 

She shows people how to take what’s broken in their lives and transform it into something fierce and true, focusing on depth, honesty, and practical insight.
