Dr. Shan Shan Jing is a Consultant Plastic and Hand Surgeon working in a Major Trauma Centre in London, where she has spent years treating patients with devastating injuries, restoring nerves, vessels, and soft tissues after life-altering trauma. In 2022, while working abroad during the pandemic, she experienced trauma from the other side when she survived a high-speed collision that killed her partner and left her hospitalized with multiple injuries. Her recovery involved navigating profound grief, neurological healing, and the identity shift of becoming a trauma patient within the very healthcare system she had dedicated her career to serving. This experience transformed her understanding of post-traumatic growth, the nervous system’s response to catastrophic loss, and the hidden burdens carried by healthcare professionals, deepening her belief in what she calls the “Holy Trinity” of health: the physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of healing.

NATALAFN on IGLiving Alongside Trauma (Post-Traumatic Growth): Aviv champions a shift from merely "fixing" PTSD to fostering post-traumatic growth (PTG).

Alanna Bell has spent over two decades as a trauma-informed therapist, school counselor, and healing arts practitioner. But her most powerful credentials weren’t earned in classrooms—they were shaped in the quiet, painful spaces of her own recovery.Like so many helpers, Alanna was trained to listen, hold, and guide others toward healing. What she wasn’t trained for was how to fall apart. Years into her career, she found herself facing the very thing she’d helped others navigate: addiction, shame, and the unraveling of a carefully held-together life.What followed was not a clean or linear redemption story—but a raw, deeply human journey back to wholeness. Through treatment, truth-telling, and long-term recovery, Alanna discovered what she now shares with others: healing is possible, but it doesn’t come through perfection. It comes through honesty, community, and grace.Today, she blends clinical insight, lived experience, and spiritual depth to support others—especially those in helping professions—who find themselves on roads they never meant to take. The Road I Never Meant to Take is her first book, and the beginning of many overdue conversations.The Road I Never Meant to Take, unfolds through a series of deeply personal letters written by a character known only as L—a therapist in recovery whose voice carries the lived experiences of Alanna and countless others she has worked with along the way. Through L, readers are invited into the quiet truths that often go unspoken in the lives of helpers and healers. The result is a memoir that is both intimately personal and universally relatable.
