Alix Ahles has worked for over a decade as a trauma therapist and expert, facilitating  presentations, workshops and interviews detailing her expertise in traumatic stress  while cultivating her practice as a creative non fiction writer through workshops, residencies, and local readings. She entered into the field of psychotherapy, building a thriving business as a private practice practitioner while navigating the enormity of losing her twin sister and both of her parents in a period of nine years. As a writer and practicing therapist, she knew the transformative and healing power of narrative. As she stepped into motherhood, she continued to examine a complex and pained experience navigating the enormity of her ongoing losses. In her forthcoming memoir, she examines the shattering impact of her grief while recognizing the limited capacity of those around her hold and recognize the recursion of these losses.
