About
Catherine Heller Reilly has spent more than twenty-five years pursuing healing from extreme childhood abuse. She speaks with a voice of authority on managing consequences of trauma, including dissociation, PTSD, and C-PTSD. Her memoir introduces the term PTOT, post-trauma-ordered thinking, a framework and technique to alleviate symptoms of PTSD. An English major with an MBA and three certifications related to her career in accounting and finance, Reilly has retired and returned to her first love: writing. When she isn’t at her desk writing, Reilly can usually be found outdoors either hiking, paddling, or skiing. She has three grown children and lives in Minneapolis with her husband of forty years.
Her debut memoir will be published May 4, 2027.
