After surviving childhood trauma and working 15 yrs in frontline ER, I finally found the courage to give this talk at a fundraiser last Sunday.🎥This 10-minute speech, now at 2.6 million views, is for every survivor who's ever been silenced. Watch it. Share it. And if it speaks to you – join the movement so we can end private violence together. 💌 anneaspler.com/join 📺youtu.be/08w5gRzluxc?si=YCUi…

Rise After Silence: An ER Doctor and the Patients Who Healed Her is available at Indigo and independent bookstores across Canada, and online through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or wherever you buy books. It weaves 10 of my patients’ stories with my own—around themes of private violence, mental health, medicine, motherhood, and what can happen when another person’s story gives us the courage to confront our own. Early readers have called it “The Pitt meets The Glass Castle” and “one of the most compelling medical memoirs of our time.” At its heart, it is for anyone trying to confront what they inherited—and decide what they want to pass on. I spent five years writing this book. Before publication, it has already received 110+ Goodreads reviews with a 4.89 average rating, been selected as a Publishers Weekly Editor’s Pick, and its trailer had been watched more than 19,000 times. But becoming a serious author has humbled me. I’ve learned that the long-term reach of a book—or any creative project—is deeply influenced by its visibility in the beginning. If the trailer or the book has moved you, I would be so honoured if you shared it with someone who might need it. I’m thrilled to finally put it into your hands. 💜 amazon.ca/dp/B0H6D26ZH2

Thank you @HuffPost for publishing my essay. Even as a seasoned ER doc, I felt powerless to stop my own mom from becoming homeless. This story may resonate if you struggle to help a family member with severe mental illness, or as a caregiver to your parents. Thank you for reading and to @PeterMountford for your guidance with my writing. huffpost.com/entry/mom-psych…
