Shelly works in the mental health field and is the mother of two U.S. Army veterans. For the past 20 years, she has worked with people who have seen and endured more than most people should ever have to, and she says her own background and history inform both her work and her writing. For The Havok Journal, she writes in a direct, reflective voice about healing, pain, family, and the emotional weight that can surround military service. Her perspective is grounded in long experience with human struggle, resilience, and recovery. Shelly can be reached through Calm After the Storm: Trauma Coaching by Shelly Harlow
