Born in a trailer to an alcoholic, abusive rodeo cowboy and a southern Christian mother who spoke in tongues, Terrah Hancock developed self-reliance, strength, and resilience early in life to survive severe child abuse. She has done extensive study of bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and Complex PTSD in adult survivors of child abuse. She is an outspoken voice for ending child abuse, rape, and any stigmas associated with mental health therapy or illness.
Terrah tells frank, compelling stories about her life and experiences in therapy. She regularly speaks and consults with other survivors about complex PTSD, helping them ...
- commit to the importance of therapy,
- be open-minded about medication,
- deal with thoughts of suicide, and
- overcome the fear of changing therapists.
Terrah has remodeled homes and worked as a marketing executive for tech startups in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona. She does daily hot yoga and cultivates flower, vegetable, and succulent gardens. She also posts a joke of the day for her neighbors on a white board outside her home in Phoenix. She has two forgiving sons, two lazy dogs, and one handsome Latin husband.
Other works include: "The Heart & The Ant", written at age 6, which was also a wild success.
Terrah would love to hear from you!
