What happens when life breaks you-again and again? Can you ever truly heal, or is there something even greater waiting on the other side of survival?

In Broken in the Stronger Places, author Elizabeth A. Estabrooks, delivers a deeply moving and insightful memoir that intertwines her personal journey and professional experiences. From her time in the military to her departure from the Department of Veterans Affairs and a transformative year-long solitary road trip, Elizabeth unpacks the profound effects of post-traumatic stress and retraumatization.

Drawing on nearly three decades of working with survivors of violence, she weaves together her story with the voices of thousands of women she's interviewed, offering a groundbreaking perspective on the continuum of trauma and healing. Elizabeth beautifully delves into psychology's Kintsugi metaphor that survivors can become stronger in the broken places. Moving beyond resilience, she explores resourcefulness-the often-overlooked strength survivors call on to navigate the lifelong impacts of trauma, including the challenge of facing retraumatization.

Inside, you will travel with Elizabeth as she explores key issues like resilience and resourcefulness, shares insights, and offers hope for survivors and their loved ones, alongside acknowledgement that healing is never truly "done."

Whether you're a survivor finding validation, a family member striving to understand, or a professional aiming to support survivors, this book offers invaluable wisdom, compassion, and hope.

Empowering, eye-opening, and deeply personal, Broken in the Stronger Places redefines what it means to endure, adapt, and thrive.

"Broken in the Stronger Places is a deeply moving and powerful memoir that sheds light on the complexities of trauma, healing, and resilience." Emily Miles, Executive Director, New York Alliance Against Sexual Assault.

Autorenporträt
Elizabeth Estabrooks is a retired executive who now spends her time volunteering and writing. Prior to retiring, she served as the Deputy Director at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Center for Women Veterans (CWV) in Washington, D.C. where she operated as the subject matter expert on women veteran issues, concerns, and needs both within and outside VA, speaking in favor of changes that improved safety and equity for women veterans. She was the lead on organizational and strategic planning, led development and implementation of new initiatives to support and enhance CWV's mission and vision, and worked with researchers to lead the production of two Congressionally mandated studies: 1) Study on Unemployment Rate of Post 9/11 Women Veterans and 2) The Prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence in the Veteran Population. Ms. Estabrooks was the VA lead on development of a first-ever VA woman veterans' survey to identify and understand low rates of VA benefits and healthcare usage by women.Prior to assuming her role as Deputy Director, Elizabeth served as the Oregon Woman Veterans Coordinator with the Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs where she brought decades of knowledge and experience gained from her career working on relevant issues that included: domestic violence, (military) sexual assault, peer support services, community safety, gender- and culturally responsive services, and adult learning. In 2017, Elizabeth co-founded the I Am Not Invisible campaign and photo project for women veterans. Due to Ms. Estabrooks' efforts, this campaign became a national project headed by the VA Center for Women Veterans, with over 4,000 women veterans in 50 states and 29 tribes being photographed by 2024, which included an emphasis on living members of the 6888th Battalion, women veteran disabled athletes, and women of WW2.Previously, she worked as an independent consultant advising clients that included the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention; Oregon Department of Human Services; Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training; Battered Women's Justice Project; Mental Health Partnerships of Pennsylvania; and the Edmonton Police Department in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Her earliest foray into the field of violence against women was first as a board member and then as Executive Director of MayDay, Inc., Baker County's domestic and sexual violence crisis intervention center from 1993 - 1997. While there, she obtained funding to open the first ever shelter in the community. Elizabeth is a Peacetime Cold War Veteran of the United States Army, serving at Harvey Barracks in Kitzingen, Germany. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Gender Studies and Political Science from Eastern Oregon University where she graduated Summa Cum Laude and a Master of Science in Social Work, Policy, from Columbia University in New York. She was appointed to the VA Secretary's Task Force on Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access in 2021 and the VA National Domestic Violence Task Force in 2012 and was a 2013 Fisher-Cummings Washington, D.C. Fellow. She now travels and focuses on writing. Her first book, Broken in the Stronger Places: From Resilience to Resourcefulness, is a memoir that spans her life from joining the military through her exit from the VA and the one-year solo healing road trip that followed. The book, informed by her nearly 30 years of experience in the field of domestic violence and sexual assault, examines post-traumatic stress and retraumatization among women survivors and was released March 12, 2025.
