About this audiobook
"How could something that happened so long ago affect me today?" I asked my therapist right after she told me I was suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). How could an assault at six years old be the defining factor in my adult existence?
And with those questions, my life's trajectory changed. I began to search for answers.
This is the story of that journey. A journey that took me deep into past traumas to face memories I'd tried to bury my whole life. A journey that revealed how my trauma was not mine alone but was connected to my parents' and grandparents' traumas. A journey that showed me how this transgenerational trauma had controlled my thoughts, my choices, and my life. And how it now infected my children's lives as well.
This is a story of how I finally broke the cycle of transgenerational trauma and found healing - not only for me but for my children. And now, I share that healing with you. I invite you to travel along with me, practice the exercises at the end of each chapter, and begin your own healing journey from surviving to thriving.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well written, relatable, and with many valuable lessons to be learned. I would have given it 10 stars if not because of the overly dramatic theatrical narration. There's just too much shrieking and shouting, enough to trigger anxiety in already traumatized individuals trying to heal.
