I am primarily a writer.
I explore our daily (extra) ordinary lives, including our health, exercise routines, and all the various aspects of life. I also write about what I think lays ahead of us, offering insights (True Crime) beyond mere headlines.
I have authored books, copywriting, articles, (Norwegian), short stories, and now, blog posts. My writing spans across various topics, but as you can see, I delve significantly into PTSD.
The reason being, a few years ago, I took legal action against the Norwegian ministry of defense (MoD), which garnered considerable attention. (I emerged victorious.)
I am aware that many people struggle with similar challenges, and I aim to be a resource for them. Do you or someone you know wrestle with PTSD?
