My name is Di Bryant, I am 35 years old and a mother of 4. I was diagnosed less than a year ago with complex PTSD from childhood trauma, I lived the first 34 years of my life in a constant state of fight or flight, trying to control everything in my life including people, destroying everything in my wake, it took 34 years before my body finally shut down in every way, physically, emotionally and mentally, I was physically ill and had completely disassociated, I was ready to end my life because I couldn't even control who I was, I couldn't control who I was from one minute to the next, I brought myself to the hospital and couldn't even remember my social security number, my address any basic information and I couldn't speak. I was put in an intensive outpatient program because I refused to be admitted. Taking myself to the hospital that night was the best decision of my life. In the outpatient program I finally got the correct diagnosis and my journey began, intensive therapy EMDR, weighted blankets, inner child work, everything I could research that was shown to help me in my recovery, one of the things I found was modeling, I'm not a model by any stretch however when I am in front of the camera it takes me out of my own head, I have to tell another story with my face and body, I can speak without words, I can watch myself evolving through each shoot becoming more and more comfortable in my own skin.
