A trauma-informed writer, mental health advocate, and published author. I write about the things that live in your body long after you think you're over them.
I'm Bex MacArthur — a trauma-informed writer with lived experience of DID/OSDD, complex trauma, and domestic violence. I write about these things because I've lived them, researched them obsessively, and spent years figuring out how to put language to experiences that most people don't have words for.
I graduated valedictorian from Full Sail University with a BFA in Creative Writing for Entertainment and an AAS in Digital Cinematography. I've published 40+ articles on Medium covering trauma, dissociation, mental health, and the intersection of pop culture and psychology.
I write for therapists, mental health organizations, DV advocates, and recovery educators who need content that's accurate, compassionate, and actually sounds human — not like it was generated by someone who read a few Wikipedia articles about trauma.
The lived experience isn't a selling point. It's a difference you'll hear in the writing.
There's a specific kind of wrong that happens when trauma content is written by someone who only knows it academically. The language is technically correct but it misses something — the texture of what it actually feels like, the way the nervous system remembers things the brain has moved on from, the specific exhaustion of being told to heal faster.
I write from inside that experience. Not to center my story, but because it makes the writing more useful to the people who need it. Clients who have lived through trauma know the difference immediately. So do the clinicians trying to reach them.
That's what I bring to your blog, your social media, your resources. Not just accuracy — recognition.
