Welcome to Surviving with Dr. Chrissie — a space where truth meets healing and survival turns into purpose. I created this platform to give voice to the stories we’re often told to silence — the ones shaped by trauma, resilience, faith, and the long road to becoming whole again. Here, we talk about real life: the hard days, the messy healing, and the moments of grace that remind us we’re still standing. Through honest conversations, survivor stories, and a little bit of humor and hope, Surviving with Dr. Chrissie is more than a podcast or a blog — it’s a community. Because surviving isn’t the end of the story; it’s where the rebuilding begins.

Took a trip

What was the last thing you did for play or fun?

The last thing that I did for myself was go on a cruise with my husband on the Disney Treasure. Just us for 7 days! I used to be afraid to go far from home or experience new things like go on a boat because my mind always went to all the bad that can happen.

But once I started to change my way of thinking I now can experience so much new, beautiful things that God wants me to see! My trauma was crippling for so many years and I allowed it to consume my life. The day I decided to take MY life back was the best day of MY life.
