“I have experienced a decade of severe complex PTSD that started with a stroke and quickly spread to massive rejection from a church craft group; my closest friends. After a year of torment, I left a 30+ year career in Christian radio and moved 800 miles away for a fresh start. I never got it. I was too broken and my pain was so intense it scared people. It even scared therapists. Others saw that same pain as adolescent acting out; a level of invalidation I cannot describe. Afraid of confrontation, people and churches abandoned me without any explanation. Cyberstalking by at least two churches made things worse and worse and worse. Single, with no family and few friends, I have wondered if I'm even human. I survive by dissociating and isolating. I see Kevin Ness occasionally and am immensely grateful for this man who sometimes listens as I pour out my pain, and other times pours scripture into me. He listens. He cares. He is wise and godly. I'm still fighting and can't afford regular therapy. Until the shunning stops, I am trapped. When I get truly desperate, I scrape together enough to go see Kevin and get grounded again. I truly believe I would not be here if I had not found him. If you need a safe place to process inexplicable trauma, I cannot recommend Kevin Ness highly enough.”
