In Tracey’s words:

I’ve been on a healing journey for 25 years, and it was just last year that the final puzzle piece fell into place. As someone who has been in and out of therapy for over two decades, I was shocked by the realization that my whole life, my whole adult self and all my relationships, had been impacted by the reality of my childhood. Most of us believe that we cannot experience trauma if our childhood doesn’t tick traditional boxes: sexual or physical abuse, poverty, and incarcerated parent. But I can tell you, for sure, that waking up to the toll my conditioning took on me and, thereby, the people I love most has changed everything.

And, my daughter was diagnosed with an eating disorder and depression when she was thirteen. She’s 25 now and fully supports me in talking about our experiences. Her mental health diagnosis, along with my own inheritance, is the subject of my forthcoming memoir, Bloodlines: A Memoir of Harm and Healing. I’m passionate about dispelling the myths around mental illness, mental health, and healing. Accepting the fact that I could not control the trajectory of my daughter’s illness was extremely painful, but I needed to wake up to the need for me to do my own work—the means to the end of supporting and loving her the healthiest ways I could.
