Her non-profit, the 1 in 3 Foundation, provides recovery and counseling resources to survivors of sexual trauma..

Her memoir "The Return Trip" is about addiction, perfectionism, and making purpose out of trauma..

It was during a writing retreat with a group of strangers that I shared a personal piece about recovery and sex addiction..

My husband had known I was a sexual abuse survivor when he proposed in 2008, but neither of us knew how deep the trauma was embedded in my bones..

My husband has watched me work to heal and provide recovery to other survivors of sexual trauma acting out..
