Surviving
Your Mind

My name is Carrie Munier, I am a veteran, spouse of combat vet, 2X assault survivor, mental health, advocate, childhood trauma, enthusiast, natural born healer, and getting my certification in breath work. I grew up and graduated from Yukon, Oklahoma in 2004. I worked in flooring and granite right after high school and then went into the military for an education. I was in the Airforce a total of 4 years, out processed active duty after speaking with my commander when I was pregnant, my female commander talked me into going home to Oklahoma where I immediately reenlisted with the national guard. I stuck it out for as long as I could but the panic attacks and migraines would take over.  After several years of dealing with that, I out processed with a medically honorable discharged in 2010. I didn’t get help for my Military trauma until 2019 when I was finally with someone who I felt safe to tell. Jeremy made me feel like I was a true veteran. I was married prior of 10 years. I settled thinking it was all I deserved but they had my mother’s abusive energy.  In 2018, my husband, Jeremy had a CPTSD episode. We had to move from our new home, we were shunned from the entire neighborhood and school district. Our home town of Yukon, 80% of them still to this day, won’t talk to us, won’t follow us, wants nothing to do with what really happened or to hear the amazing transformation that took place. That night, something changed in me. Mental Health became a passion for me. I knew I struggled all my life, my biological father passed when I was in 9th grade and I am just now grieving and finding answers. Growing up, if I spoke about him or wanted to, I would hear stories about how he was abusive and a drunk. I needed a place to talk about my daddy the way I knew of him, but was never allowed. I didn’t even know I was verbally and emotionally abused by my mother, until I was 36 and started treatment. I learned to heal my childhood wounds and set out to help others do the same! When I was in my 30’s, I was sent my father’s bible from a man I knew when I was little, who knew my father. I’ve now pieced everything together from when I was a child, to visiting him as a kid and a teen and to having closure as an adult. I can’t wait to finish my breath work training so I can continue healing others, by teaching them to heal themselves. I was a child raised by an emotionally immature parent. It wasn’t their fault, but I never knew how to regulate my emotions and suffered from suicidal idealizations from the time my biological father passed in 2001, until last summer when I discovered how to heal in 2023. If I can get to where I am today. I know you can too. It’s not what’s wrong with you, but what’s happened to you. Love you all, go be the light
