Deborah Domanski MSW with 20 years of experience and a podcaster with PTSD has a mission to help others navigate through modern-day mental health services, to live the most fulfilled life as possible.
I am 14 years post-rupture. Brain aneurysm conqueror who wants to become an advocate. That stresses mind over matter. Works. Anyone can do anything they can set their mind to, regardless of limitations”. I want to be a beacon of hope. I went from a wheelchair to strutting in 4-inch high heels after weight training and a lot of physical therapy, of course. All worth it. “Dedication with a positive mindset will always pay off time and time again.”
My major goal is to have CPTSD diagnosed as a primary diagnosis in the next DSM, the diagnostic tool for therapists for diagnosing patients. Currently, it's just a footnote under the PTSD diagnosis in the current DSM-5 TR. This is important to me not only as an MSW, whose whole life mission has been helping others for the past 20 years, which I feel, saved my life. I'm more spiritual than religious. I have witnessed miracles and unexplained phenomena with patients over the years. Surpass their mental health challenges, but also as an MSW with CPTSD from my brain aneurysm.
Life is tough enough without having a proper diagnosis, to get you the right medication you need. So you don't have the flashbacks, nightmares, physical pain, the feeling you want to put a mask over your face and forget who you truly are. Includes your inner strength..
My expression is. ”I am. Not I will.”
I currently run a mental health awareness campaign all over social media on Instagram. I currently. Have 1.5 million people observing my content of my mental health awareness campaign. I also have a podcast, ‘Getting Back To Your True Self‘ on Spotify. Which I'm very proud of:
Years ago, I started a YouTube channel, helping others with PTSD. In all my videos, regardless of the platform, I show true emotion and get real about what's important, and your mental health includes the consequences of not taking care of yourself, but also giving professional direction in an interactive way.
I'm currently collaborating to be a co-owner in an LLC. I will keep you updated.

I've seen all kinds of miracles, an unexplained phenomenon over my years as a medical MSW Ironically, the biggest miracle was me. Personally, it was such a game changer. The immense recovery I faced made me stronger and smarter because I felt I had to do everything on my own all over again at age 38.
