About this audiobook
The impact of childhood trauma and abuse can forever alter the course of history. Throughout generations, countless children have been hurt by those that are meant to care for them. Yet, in society once those children turn to adults the impacts of child abuse are often discounted and spoken to with the frame of ‘that was years ago” or “it’s time to get over it.” The reality is that we are at the core a collection of all of our experiences leading up to this very moment. If the childhood trauma survivor’s foundation is built atop a volcano, then sooner or later it will be engulfed. Childhood trauma and abuse is the elephant in the room of societies mental health epidemic, and most people don’t know how to understand the role that trauma has played in their life.
When I sat down to craft the baseline of The Think Unbroken book, I did so intending to create something that would be a testimony to the undeniable will of the human mindset. For generations, the world has been plagued by the ramifications of the effects of Child Trauma, and like millions of childhood trauma survivors, I was stuck in The Vortex. My life in a word was a disaster. I was an addict of undeniable proportions, I was morbidly obese and suffocating under the weight of my past.
Think Unbroken is not only a guide to helping other Trauma Survivors find their way out of The Vortex, but it is also the cornerstone to how I changed my life. I am, in essence, a product of my product, and I believe that Think Unbroken is the key to taking the first steps in overcoming the effects of childhood trauma.
What you will find in Think Unbroken is not my story, but a reflection of the possibilities that can become a reality when you understand that Mindset is Everything.
Childhood trauma took everything from me, but I took everything back, and so can you.
“THOUGH TRAUMA MAY BE OUR FOUNDATION IT IS NOT OUR FUTURE.”

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's like having a trauma specialist coach siting next to you and giving you encouragement. Healing it's tough, but the reassurance and guideline to keep going when you feel like giving up, definitely help me to overcome self doubt and feeling lost in the midst of healing journey. This book is a real gold for those just starting or in the middle of trauma recovery process.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such an insightful trip down memory lane. At 65 I’ve decided to crawl out of the vortex. This book is a must have tool to help you learn who you really are under all the bullshit you have created out of fear, sadness loneliness and not feeling worthy or good enough. This book gives you the opportunity to look deep inside yourself and gives you those tools to start your journey towards healing. I’m going to go on this journey!! Thank you Michael Anthony!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of the best books I have ever read on trauma recovery. Heartfelt, no bullsh#t, actionable steps, and so relatable. I will be recommending this one to my therapist and my students.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thank you so much for sharing your story and the tools to get in touch with our true self. As I listened to your book I wrote a lot and learned much more about myself. As a buddhist, I practice self-reflection daily and study, but sometimes studying philosophy is harder to grasp than the exercises you provided. I feel so fortunate to have found your book.(:
