Paula D Walters is a child abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence survivor. In 2006, she was a victim of a domestic violence incident that involved near-fatal strangulation. That 2006 event led her on an excruciating 13-year journey. Between 2006 and 2019, she was diagnosed with multiple medical problems and placed on multiple medications. In 2019, she was accurately diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury that occurred from that 2006 event. Since her proper diagnosis, she has thrived and became an inspiration of hope. She is now at her healthiest and her medical diagnoses other than the traumatic brain injury has been retracted.
Her frustrating journey has resulted in an inspirational story she shares at conferences, companies, and organizations to combat the stigma surrounding abuse and the long-lasting impacts of trauma. She is committed to raising awareness and providing education on the dangers at the intersections of abuse and brain injury.
