Beth spends her life finding space between the rock and the hard place. Since the 1970s she has worked with traumatic stress. Since the 1980s she has lived with a traumatic brain Injury.
Beth began working with traumatic stress in the 1970s
when she and her husband were house parents for youth in child
protective services. At that time she discovered the reality of child
abuse. At the time we had no real idea how common child abuse and
trauma were nor did we have any understanding of how helping those who
had experienced sorrow and suffering affected affected us. Now we do understand.
