APN alum, Elle, shares how unresolved childhood trauma, internalized rage, and military sexual assault led to trauma, complex PTSD, and suicidal ideation. After she survived a sexual assault as a public affairs officer in the Marines, the military failed to seek justice for Elle. Later, she fell into a suicidal crisis with no support. Elle pushed herself into treatment at APN Lodge, received specialized Veteran care, and found community among other military sexual assault survivors. Now, outside treatment, Elle continues prioritizing her mental health with HBOT, deep TMS, ketamine-assisted therapy, personal training, and other healing modalities.
