How One Adult Adoptee Transcended Her Anxiety and Addiction and Reconciled Her Grief

How One Adult Adoptee Transcended Her Anxiety and Addiction and Reconciled Her Grief
Welcome! My name is Patrece. My story reveals the complex realities of closed government adoption during Canada’s “Baby Scoop Era.” After a childhood marked by unacknowledged trauma, I became overwhelmed by fear and anxiety. This led to the development of an eating disorder as a means of coping. At thirty, desperate to escape the grip of an unrelenting addiction, I sought help. Today, I continue my healing journey through writing, connecting with other adoptees, and finding belonging within a yoga-based recovery community.
I am always happy to share my story of hope and resilience on podcasts, in panels, and at events. Please get in touch with me using the form below.
