description: When Carol Walsh pulled her fiance from the bottom of a diving well dead from a massive heart attack her life was turned upside down. Even though she was a psychotherapist working with clients suffering from trauma, this personal shock felt unbearable. Nonetheless, she had to heal herself while supporting clients and, as a single mother, her two children. Using the creative interests she d developed during childhood in order to emotionally save herself from a difficult mother, she fully recovered from her grief and PTSD symptoms and as she recreated her personal, artistic, and professional life, she began to thrive."
