It takes a second. And we're alive. So hey guys Drew here that anxiety guy.com. I have a special guest tonight. I'm really excited about my new friend Monique Kovan Monique is a trauma PTSD recovery resiliency. Resilience Cuzilience. Gosh. Okay no problem and so Monique and I have been talking for a little while about how we want to start to address an issue that comes up all the time, especially in the discussion group and if you're not in it, you should be in it.

I will put a link in the description wherever you're watching.

Monique is in the group, she's been contributing, it's been awesome.

Monique's background is trauma, PTSD recovery, resolency, those sort of things.

Social work background, give us the, give us the

readers digest version of how you got to where you are now.

You were a social worker for many years, right?

Yeah, I mean I was working in social work my whole career up until last year.

Yeah. And I worked primarily with Holocaust survivors.

So I really learned a lot about resilience,

let me tell you.

Let me tell you.

And then the reason why I got into trauma certification as a certified trauma recovery coach was because of my own diagnosis and history with I was diagnosed with generalizing anxiety disorder as well as post-traumatic stress disorder,

chronic post-traumatic stress disorder.

And I was very educated and all kind, I mean I've done all kinds of trainings and really it was for myself because I wanted to get better and I had spent decades decades decades looking for the right modality trying I wrote

15 different therapeutic modalities always hoping that that one would fix me.

And I was always disappointed, yeah.

So you've taken, you know, I mean,

I think people should know that you have you you've taken a

credentialed approach to this you have you have been a social worker you did your

training you've done your homework and and you've actually lived it as well so the reason why I've asked Monique to get involved is because you have that good combination.

That sounds terrible. It's not a good combination. But you have a combination of trauma PTSD and the end the anxiety thing.
