Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m Shamree! I was born and raised in Texas and currently reside in Texas. I’m a mom of five and we have a pet bearded dragon, Eliza. I work as a mental health therapist with a specialty in trauma. I love nature, listening to music, and tea. My favorite flowers are roses and orchids. My favorite color is black and I love Mexican cuisine.
To be honest, I’ve just written my first book. It may not be my last!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My book is “Transmuting Trauma: The Therapist’s Story.” What inspired me to write my book connects to my work as a therapist and my own traumatic upbringing. I realized just how much my childhood trauma dictated what my adult life consisted of. I identified a cycle that I desired to change and I did that. Once I did that for myself, I wanted to share my story with the world. My story is raw and very touching but I what I intend for others to get from it is that healing is possible and we all heal in our own way. I desired to share my story so others could adopt tips to assist them on their own healing journey. I inspired my own writing! I wanted my story to reach millions in hopes to change the lives of millions!
