About Dr. Wyatt

Dr. Sherri L. Wyatt is a cognitive psychologist, researcher, educator, and recovery specialist whose work integrates rigorous empirical science with a redemptive, Christ-centered framework for healing addiction, trauma, and cognitive disruption. She resides in Florida, in the greater Tampa Bay area.

Raised in a Christian home, Dr. Wyatt was introduced early to faith; however, distorted religious messaging rooted in legalism, ritualism, and condemnation produced profound confusion regarding the nature of God’s love and grace. During childhood and adolescence, severe and life-threatening health challenges compounded this confusion, fostering a belief that suffering was evidence of divine displeasure rather than compassion. These early experiences laid the groundwork for cumulative trauma, including sexual violence, relational abuse, and profound shame.

As these adversities intensified, food and alcohol emerged as maladaptive coping mechanisms—false saviors that temporarily muted overwhelming physical, psychological, and spiritual pain. Over time, repeated trauma and internalized unworthiness crystallized into entrenched substance use disorder (SUD) and severe alcohol use disorder (AUD), reinforcing a chronic cycle of despair, self-condemnation, and relapse attempts. Despite repeated engagement with traditional recovery pathways, including Alcoholics Anonymous, Dr. Wyatt ultimately recognized the lies of self-help recovery models when divorced from genuine identity transformation.

At her lowest point, during a moment of acute suicidal ideation, Dr. Wyatt encountered what she describes as a clear and unmistakable message of unconditional love and forgiveness from God: “It’s enough. I love you. Come home.” That encounter marked a decisive rupture with both addiction and performance-based spirituality. Through an abiding relationship with Jesus Christ, Dr. Wyatt experienced enduring recovery and identity restoration—what she conceptualizes as becoming I AM AntiVenom. She is stating that the power of Christ’s resurrection blood runs through her veins and in the veins of all who believe. A recovered life, no relapse, not always recovering!

Today, Dr. Wyatt is a thirteen-year recovered individual following three decades of severe SUD and AUD. Her lived experience is now grounded in evidence-based and research-driven expertise. Her research agenda ranges from predictors of sustained alcohol abstinence in individuals with severe AUD, with particular emphasis on cognitive domain restoration, craving attenuation, prosocial functioning, and hedonic tone, to anti-sex trafficking content and all areas in between. Her work challenges deterministic relapse narratives and advances the position that relapse is not an inevitable outcome of addiction when underlying neurocognitive disruptions are adequately addressed.

Dr. Wyatt’s scholarship has been disseminated through multiple peer-reviewed academic journals, with additional manuscripts currently under review and in press. She is actively engaged in advanced data analysis and research writing in collaboration with an anti–sex trafficking agency, contributing empirical insight to survivor-centered, trauma-informed systems of care. Her interdisciplinary work spans addiction science, trauma recovery, cognition, and program evaluation.

Professionally, Dr. Wyatt serves as:

• Psychology Program Director for a private nursing institute
• Adjunct Professor of Psychology
• Dissertation Chair and Committee Member for doctoral learners
• Research Analyst and Consultant

She is the sole owner of Life Revival Coaching Studio, LRCS®, an organization dedicated to helping anyone who desires to find the life their Creator promised, through the renewing of the mind, a Life Revival!

Dr. Wyatt’s work is unified by an unyielding conviction grounded in the finished work of Jesus Christ: enduring freedom from addiction is not only possible but fully accomplished through His blood. Healing is not the management of symptoms nor the avoidance of triggers; healing is a total restoration of identity through the power of Christ within. In Him, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, condemnation has no authority, relapse has no dominion, and fear has no jurisdiction.

The SHEER Life Revival framework is anchored in the reality that the shed blood of Jesus Christ is the Antivenom to all the venom in this world. Through His blood, every venomous bite of shame, condemnation, guilt, trauma, addiction, and death is rendered powerless. His resurrection Power runs through the veins of I AM AntiVenom. We are a new creation in Christ Jesus, not by works, but by faith. What once enslaved is rendered powerless.

A Recovered Life is your inheritance established in Christ’s finished work on the cross.

A Life Revival is available to all who will believe in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Life is lived with joy unspeakable, no matter the state of the world. Hallelujah and Amen!
