Audria Proctor, a service-connected disabled United States veteran, has released Thriving Beyond Trauma: Embracing Mindset Work to Heal, Grow, and Thrive. This book offers readers an interactive journey through Proctor’s personal story while incorporating cited medical information to create both a healing and informative experience. The book is designed for those affected by trauma and grief, as well as individuals supporting loved ones through their healing journey.
Over two decades ago, Proctor’s life took a devastating turn when her military superiors delivered the shocking news of her first husband’s tragic death. At the time, the unyielding structure of military life denied her access to essential resources that could have helped her process the immense loss. For more than 20 years, she navigated the emotional and psychological aftermath alone, conditioned by the experience. It was only after receiving a mental health diagnosis in 2018 that she discovered the healing power of mindset work, a realization that ultimately transformed her life. Now thriving, Proctor shares her journey as a testament to resilience and invites others to embark on their own paths of healing and self-discovery.
