Welcome!

Conversations, life hacks and inspiration that will help you manage the challenges of healing from childhood trauma. From casual daily conversations to short life hacks that equip you for the day, Chatting with Charlotte provides hope for trauma survivors and others who struggle with the emotional roller-coasters of life.

I hold a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin and a Master of Arts in Apologetics, Emphasis in Cultural Apologetics from Houston Baptist University. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from Graceland University.

With over 30 years of experience in foster care and social work, I have a wealth of experience from which to draw as I offer guidance to anyone who has experienced childhood trauma and those that help them. I have seen, both professionally and personally the devastation created by child abuse. Now I want to share hope with others.

A quick look at part of my presentation on Boundaries at the 2022 Equipped for Recovery Workshop. Rigid boundaries are sometimes necessary in the early stages of recovery, but they hinder growth when you hang on to them for too long. For more information go to charlottethomason.com
Join us on December 10, 2022 at 11:00AM CST for the "Equipped for the Holidays" The holidays are tough for trauma survivors.

This week I am in the Speaker Spotlight! With a Master of Science in Social Work, a Master of Arts in Cultural Apologetics, over 30 years of experience in social work, and as a survivor of childhood trauma, I have seen, both professionally and personally, the devastation created by child abuse. I want to use my experience to bring hope to those who feel lost and hopeless due to childhood trauma and bring encouragement to those who help them. Join me on Thursday, November 17, at 7:30PM for an informal conversation about what I'll present at Equipped for the Holidays, a little about my journey, and a little known, but interesting fact about myself. #equippedfortheholidays #mentalhealth #hope #PTSD #survivingtheholidays
Triggers of past trauma come in many forms including: smells, sounds, location, anniversaries, or words. In this month's Chatting with Charlotte Live, I'll provide 4 simple tools to help you manage triggers before they derail you. Join me on November 12, 2022 at 11:00 AM CST to become better equipped to stop the negative affect of triggers.
Survivors of childhood trauma often feel hopeless and alone. As a survivor, I struggled for years not knowing how to cope with the emerging memories and the physical trauma that accompanied them. In my memoir, What Kind of Love is This? Finding God in the Darkness, I tell the story of my journey to understand and accept God's unconditional love in the midst of the darkness of my childhood. Check out the updated trailer to learn more. For more about my story and to purchase your copy of What Kind of Love is This? visit: https://charlottethomason.com
