Reclaiming Self After Childhood Trauma: A Compassionate Guide to Healing
Healing is not a simple linear path but a journey of integration and reclamation; reclaiming a sense of self that was fragmented by the original wound.
"Trauma is personal. It does not disappear if it is not validated. It does not magically heal if you pretend it never happened. The only way to dissolve it is to put it in context with a broader story.

The roots of resilience... Are to be found in the sense of being understood by and existing in the mind and heart of a loving, attuned, and self-possessed other.
