Sam Silverman, CEO of Silver Linings Mental Health, shares her personal journey of surviving 9/11 and living with PTSD, which inspired her to write her book Silver Linings: From Surviving to Thriving After 9-11. She reflects on post-traumatic growth, establishing a trauma-informed group practice during COVID-19, and the balance between telehealth, in-home therapy, and sensory experiences in healing. The episode highlights resilience, leadership, and creating safe spaces for both clients and clinicians.
