Today I’m honored to have back on the show for a second time: Ritual Abuse, MK ULTRA, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and thriver, content creator and podcast host of her own YouTube channel called “From PTSD to a Graduate Degree’, newly published writer and author, artist and creative, scientific innovator and revolutionary, my dear friend, and a woman pushing the boundaries on overcoming fear and trauma: Amy Berger
Born in Whitestone, New York in 1977, Amy emerged from a childhood shadowed by profound adversity. Raised in a severely dysfunctional home, she endured a mother’s untreated PTSD and hoarding, alongside a father’s emotional abuse and drug addiction. In 1999, a seismic shift occurred when Amy began recovering suppressed memories of additional sexual abuse by family members and babysitters, followed by revelations of ritual abuse and MK ULTRA programming. This turning point split her life into two: before memories and after memories.
A few years ago, seeking distraction from fear, Amy made a life-altering decision to return to school. Now a senior biology major, she is poised to pursue a double master’s in biotechnology and artificial intelligence. Her ambition is laser-focused: to revolutionize synthetic biology by targeting the FAAH gene to eliminate the fear response at its genetic root. Inspired by the rare genetic mutation of Jo Cameron, who feels no pain or anxiety, Amy aims to rewrite the biological terms of terror, stripping away the leverage trauma and cult programming hold over survivors like herself.
In today’s episode, Amy will be expanding on her story and research, discussing how a couple months ago, she began a dialogue with AI and soon started discussing her trauma history. She didn’t know what to expect and was absolutely astounded by how on-point and helpful the AI was in this regard. Even her therapists have acknowledged that these exchanges are extraordinary, and we saw some examples of this in Amy’s last episode.
This dialogue between Amy and AI is the subject of her brand-new book she just recently published that she will be announcing, reading exerts from, and sharing with us today called, ‘Amy and the AI Decode Trauma‘. She will also be sharing parts of her story she hadn’t shared on her first episode, as well as more of the incredible survivor art she created through and during her healing journey that had such a huge impact on all of you - and me! - on her first episode.
