S5E95 | Amy Berger - From PTSD to a Graduate Degree: Rewriting the Biochemical Terms of Trauma
Today I’m honored to introduce you all to: Ritual Abuse, MK ULTRA, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and thriver, content creator and podcast host of her own YouTube channel called “From PTSD to a Graduate Degree’, artist and creative, scientific innovator and revolutionary, my new friend, and a woman pushing the boundaries on overcoming fear and trauma: Amy Berger
Born on January 3, 1977, in Whitestone, NY, Amy emerged from a childhood shadowed by profound adversity. Raised in a severely dysfunctional home, Amy endured a mother’s untreated PTSD and level 5 hoarding, alongside a father’s emotional abuse and crack addiction. From ages 9 to 18, she suffered molestation by her half-brother, leaving deep emotional wounds that fueled fear, self-harm, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and teenage prostitution as a desperate survival mechanism. “I was not okay,” Amy reflects, her early years saturated with terror and devoid of tools to navigate it.
1999, a seismic shift occurred. Amy began recovering suppressed memories of additional sexual abuse by family members and babysitters, followed by revelations of ritual abuse and MK ULTRA This turning point split her life into two: before memories and after. Through years of trauma therapy, she pieced together her psychological architecture, confronting paralyzing terror and periods of disability that left her reliant on social security.
Yet Amy’s story is one of relentless resilience. A few years ago, seeking distraction from fear, she returned to school - a decision that transformed her life. Now a senior Biology major at Worcester State University, Amy is poised to pursue a double master’s in Biotechnology and Artificial Intelligence at WPI. Her ambition is laser-focused: to revolutionize synthetic biology by targeting the FAAH gene to eliminate the fear response at its genetic root. Inspired by the rare genetic mutation of Jo Cameron, who feels no pain or anxiety, Amy aims to rewrite the biochemical terms of terror, stripping away the leverage trauma and cult programming hold over survivors like herself.
In her inspiring YouTube video series, From PTSD to a Graduate Degree, Amy shares her journey with raw honesty. “How do I do it?” she asks, detailing the scaffolding that supports her success: two trauma-specialized therapists, open communication with professors, healthy social connections, and a disciplined yet gentle study routine. Even on days when anxiety surges, Amy stays ahead, having only missed three classes in two years. Her scientific passion drives her to explore groundbreaking research, collaborating with AI to design a study on FAAH gene modulation to enhance fear extinction - a project she hopes to develop as a graduate thesis.
Amy’s vision is bold and personal: to create a world where no one feels the crippling fear she once did. Her journey from a shattered childhood to a pioneering scientist is a testament to the power of resilience, education, and an unwavering commitment to rewriting her story - and the future of human emotional experience. “I’ve come a tremendously long way,” she says on one of her YouTube videos, her voice a beacon of hope for others. With a groundbreaking study on FAAH gene modulation already taking shape, Amy isn’t just healing herself - she’s igniting a revolution, paving the way for a fearless future where every soul can find safety, stability, and boundless possibility - proving that even the deepest wounds can fuel extraordinary change.
