I Don’t Just Know About Trauma, I LIVED it

Joselyn Zambrana, LCSW
Certified Trauma Professional

“I don’t guide people through anything I haven’t personally put in the work to understand. Healing isn’t just theory—it’s lived experience.“

I only knew how to exist through achievements, so I achieved. I joined the military and graduated top of my class, went to grad school, and did my absolute best to be the ‘perfect person’. The perfect wife—only to get a divorce; the perfect soldier—only to get sexually assaulted; the perfect mother—only to find out I had PTSD and could not connect with my children; the perfect daughter—only to rid myself of all boundaries at the expense of my needs and wants. Perfection gave me stress & stress cost me. It cost me my physical health, my mental health, and my relationships. Perfection also gifted me anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, irritability, and having unrealistic expectations of myself and those around me.

“Stress cost me. It cost me my physical health, my mental health, and my relationships.”

I don’t guide people through anything I haven’t personally put in the work to understand. Healing isn’t just theory—it’s lived experience. As a Spanish-Speaking Afro-Latina, veteran, mother, and wife, my journey is deeply personal, and my work is rooted in both professional expertise and real-life struggles. Growing up, the chaos of emotions and constant change was my normal. Mental health was not valued in my culture as a Puerto Rican woman. There was a constant dance in my life between wanting to be loved and seen, and the desire to cease existing. The grip of abuse was overwhelming and seeped through both my personal and professional life. It destroyed my relationships, the connection I had with myself, and my ability to see others' pain, as I could only see my own.

Then I learned. I learned to build a life worth living. I went to therapy and, ironically, became a therapist. I was able to heal the wounds that defined me. I also learned how these wounds impacted myself and those around me. I then saw that I was privileged enough to get therapy, and those who need it the most often do not have representation in this field - someone who looks like them, understands them, and has been in their shoes. This is for you—for those who have walked the path of pain and have given up hope; for those who want help but have no idea where to start; for the parent that is spread thin but wants to connect with their children; for those with strained relationships because sometimes... you just can’t, even when you want to.

“For the lost, the brokenhearted, the marginalized, this is for you. May you too learn how to build a life worth living.”
