Chantel Morin grew up shaped by her own preterm birth, maternal illness and loss, silence, and caregiving. Through a life of nursing, advocacy, and burnout, she discovered the quiet ways survival can disguise itself as competence. Her memoir is about making meaning of a life shaped by grief, care, and survival-and about what becomes possible when trauma-informed understanding finally makes room for truth, grief, regulation, and becoming.

Trauma-Informed Me is a reflective, emotionally honest story about nervous systems, hyper-functioning, love, identity, and the cost of living too long in survival mode. Written in a lyrical but accessible voice, the book explores how early experiences shape the body, how women learn to be "fine," and how healing often looks less like arrival and more like a slow unfolding. Many readers will recognize themselves in the patterns this book names, giving language to grief, caregiving, advocacy, burnout, and healing - and making them feel less alone in their experiences.
