Description
Post-traumatic growth is more than recovering; it is about reconfiguration and becoming a better person than you were before the mental injury occurred. My journey from battling my demons to purging my nightmares in artwork is shared through images based on calls I have attended as a paramedic and firefighter. I will share how my job nearly destroyed my life, and although this is my story, you may connect with them through your own experiences and realize you are not alone in how you are feeling. More importantly, I will share what I did and continue to do to build resiliency and recover from my mental stresses. If I can experience post-traumatic growth, then so can you. As DanSun Photo Art, my images are shared worldwide by hundreds of thousands of my peers. Learn the motivation behind my artwork and how the images have been therapeutic for many of us.
