Title: Out of Fight or Flight
Subtitle: A Journey Through EMDR, Trauma, and the Will to Heal
Description: Out of Fight or Flight is a trauma-informed memoir told through the lens of EMDR therapy. It doesn’t just recount what happened. It walks you through what healing looks and feels like—one memory at a time.

Zebulon Thomas invites you into the room where the work was done—where survival patterns unraveled, flashbacks were met with safety, and the inner protector finally laid down his shield.

This isn’t a story of resolution. It’s a story of reclamation.
Of truth told gently. Of dissociation met with presence.
Of finding the strength to sit beside the wounded child within and say, We made it.

For survivors looking for language.
For therapists searching for a companion text.
For anyone walking the long road back to themselves.

This book is grounded in real EMDR therapy. It was written with respect for the clinical process, and with deep reverence for the courage it takes to heal.
