Trauma Theory & Testimony: Breaking Cycles Through Lived Experience and Developmental Theory

By Charlietta D Owens

Charlietta's story begins in the chaos-raised amid addiction, instability, and the piercing silence of unmet needs. But this is not just a survival tale. It's a reckoning, a curriculum, and a call to reimagine how trauma, resilience, and reform are taught.

Blending raw personal narrative with foundational developmental theory, Owens moves from childhood neglect to professional advocacy, from incarceration to graduate honors, charting a journey that defies statistics and redefines legacy.

Written for students, educators, and those striving for growth, Trauma Theory & Testimony is both a reflection and a teaching tool. With references, discussion prompts, and accessible theory, it invites readers to witness, reflect, and act-because breaking cycles isn't just personal. It's systemic.
