Kate Price grew up in a small mill town in central Pennsylvania. Through her academic accomplishments, Price escaped the cycles of poverty, violence, addiction, mental illness, and abuse that had plagued her family for generations. But despite having left this dark world behind, it still kept a firm grip on her. Price sought out Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, a trauma specialist, to help heal her constant emotional pain through EMDR therapy. Price discovered that her father had abused and trafficked her as a child. From victim to advocate and from despair to triumph, This Happened to Me is a story of astonishing resilience.
