Living in the after
You survived what happened. Now comes everything after.
Rooted in Resilience offers trauma-informed education and lived-experience perspectives for life after trauma, loss, addiction, depression, frontline exposure, and other major disruptions.
No diagnosis. No forced optimism. Just clear information and a next step you can choose.

BUILT FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE EMERGENCY
Professional perspective and lived experience, in the same room.
Rooted in Resilience was founded by Teri L. Busse, an author and advocate who spent more than 25 years responding to other people’s worst days, before trauma, grief, addiction and rebuilding became part of her own life.
This platform brings professional perspective and lived experience together to help people understand what happens after survival.
What you’ll find here
Clearer words for what changed.
- Why am I still reacting like this?
- Could this be a trauma response?
- How do I explain this to the people I love?
- Where can I find meaningful support?
A separate, free resource
Looking specifically for grief support?
Grief Navigation is a separate, free resource that helps people find grief support based on their type of loss and location.
