I'd been listening to war stories since the 1960s, when I was a young girl sitting at the kitchen table and, night after night, my dad recounted the horrors of WWII. I didn't know why he was telling us those gruesome stories, but I knew for sure that I hated hearing them. And I hated war.

In 2004 my life hit a reckoning point. Maybe you've had one of them too-a moment when you look back and realize that somewhere you made a wrong turn on an important path. It took a war breaking out seven thousand miles from my peaceful little existence in Boulder, Colorado to engage me in a larger world and a role I was meant to play in it. Not many years later, I moved across the country and began working at Ft. Bragg as a staff psychologist tasked with helping to heal the psychological roadkill of combat. This time, the war stories would change my life.

Deborah Sebring received her PhD in Psychology from Boston College in 1989. Her work with veterans began during a year-long Clinical Fellowship at the Brockton VA Medical Center in Brockton Massachusetts. She worked as a Clinical Psychologist at a community mental health center in Aurora Colorado and had a private practice in Boulder Colorado during her early career. Dr. Sebring also served as Principle Investigator on a federally-funded research study on psychological trauma in adolescents. A documentary film she co-produced on the findings from this project won a national Bronze Tele Award in the field of medical education and was featured at Harvard's annual Psychological Trauma Conference in 1995. She moved to North Carolina with her family in 2005 and began work at Ft. Bragg in January 2007. Dr. Sebring retired from full-time practice at the Fayetteville VA Medical Center in 2019 and has continued to maintain a part-time private practice in Durham, North Carolina.
