"Antonieta, Your insight is incredibly grounding. I’ve read many explanations about trauma, but the way you break it down makes the whole subject feel less frightening and more human. You really have a gift for turning complex emotional realities into something people can understand and feel." —James H. Dickinson

​

"Your writing has always struck me as the product of someone who has spent equal parts time in the consulting room, in rigorous study, and in the quiet, interior labor of recovery. What distinguishes your contribution is not only your clinical precision, but the grace with which you articulate trauma as an ongoing phenomenon—something that continues to move through the body, interrupt meaning-making, and reshape the contours of daily life. That framing preserves the truth of patients’ suffering while orienting clinicians toward interventions that restore agency, meaning, and the capacity to move forward. "—Cindy Sample
