What is Electroconvulsive Trauma?


Listen Later

Deborah was coerced into having electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) at a vulnerable time in her life. 

As a result of these treatments, she lost her career as a trauma nurse, skills, marriage, memories of her children's lives, and the ability to make new memories, and more. Read The impact of electroshock on my life

She has since worked tirelessly to help educate society and help peers obtain legal and medical support for their injuries.   

Over the years she has done extensive research and her activism efforts have propelled our cause forward with the first successful class-action lawsuit, and medical & psychological tests that confirm brain damage from electroshock.  

She has generously let me convert her videos to podcast format so this valuable information can reach more people.
