    About this ebook

    This book is different. This book is about 'after the fact'! From the first chapter to the last, "Permission Granted" takes us on the journey of healing after experiencing physical and emotional trauma that are the result of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse. In ‘Permission Granted’ ‘Dr. Kc’ shares her insight and wisdom learned across the years and invites us to travel the journey through trauma and healing together. She describes with empathy and compassion the struggle to find a way back home and to find oneself. "Permission Granted" helps us all understand the profound life altering affect that trauma brings to everyday life. Finding sanctuary after enduring physical and emotional trauma often seems impossible. "Permission Granted" shows us how.

    "Permission Granted" invites both wounded and compassionate listener alike to join us in the journey to healing. All are invited to sit in the Circle of Healing side by side where we respect those who wish to sit in silence as well as those who choose to use their voice to tell their story.

    This book is dedicated to the 35 women of The Sorrowful Sisterhood who had the courage to come forward and give a voice to their own personal traumas in the July 2015 edition of the New York Magazine. This book is also dedicated to all the voices represented by the empty chair that have come forward since that time to give a voice to the stories of their own personal traumas.

    Share this book with someone that you care about ~ someone that is hurting ~ it will be the first step in their healing journey home ~ and don’t forget to say... 'We are in this together…let’s go home’.
