Survivor PTSD is about how living with trauma is a constant struggle, in some ways comparable to Survivor. Hashtag numbers game. Hashtag sign me up.

Let’s Play, Survivor PTSD!
It’s a question of numbers, I might have my ducks lined up, or it might be a ploy…

Angela J Williams, PhD, is a writer, illustrator and story teller from Wollongong, Australia.
She is the author of Snakes and Ladders: a memoir and host of the Deboning Power Podcast.
A writer, thinker and yeller, Angela Williams is mildly notorious for seeing problems and pointing them out. She’s tussled with Fred Nile in the Sydney Morning Herald, taken academia to task in the Guardian’s Anonymous Academic, gone to Crikey about the treatment of mentally ill women in prison, and most recently blown the whistle on dangerous risks in her (former) charity workplace. Angela does one thing really well – find problems and yell about them.
