Los Angeles, CA – In a powerful tale of resilience and reinvention, Dr. Samantha Harte’s story transforms trauma into triumph. Fourteen years sober, Samantha has faced a lifetime of heartbreak: her mother’s mental illness, betrayal by partners, the devastating loss of her sister, friends, and father, multiple miscarriages, and her battles with addiction to drugs and alcohol.

Desperate for a way forward, Samantha embarked on a profound journey to confront the perfectionism that had kept her trapped in cycles of pain and self-destruction. Along the way, she realized the universal truth that underpins her best-selling book, Breaking the Circuit: How to Rewire Your Mind for Hope, Resilience, and Joy in the Face of Trauma: whether addicted or not, everyone suffers from some degree of “soul sickness.”

Through her recovery, Samantha embraced the principles of the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, reimagining them in ways that transcended addiction to offer practical tools for navigating life’s adversities. She discovered that these spiritual concepts could be applied universally, empowering anyone to transform pain into power and joy.

In Breaking the Circuit, Samantha shares how these steps can help rewire the mind, fostering hope and resilience even in the face of overwhelming trauma. Her deeply personal insights and professional expertise as a physical therapist offer readers a rare and transformative guide to healing.
