"Forty minutes on February 21, 2019, changed Anjanette Young's life forever. Her story made national news for months after it broke: A forty-eight-year-old social worker was winding down at home after a long day of work when police broke into her apartment with a faulty warrant and incorrect information. With guns drawn and flashlights shining, twelve cops converged in her home, demanding that Anjanette put her hands up, despite the fact that she was in the middle of changing her clothes. Naked and terrified, she watched as men in tactical gear ransacked her home. In Past the Pain, Anjanette tells her story-of what happened that night, what came next, and most important, how others who experience trauma can draw on these lessons to move forward in their own stories. As a social worker and advocate, Anjanette shares practical insights for others to push past their trauma to find purpose and avoid burnout, engage in self-care, and protect emotional and physical energy when working in social justice and advocacy support"--
