cathartic? 

I am sometimes asked, was it cathartic to write your book?

No ... and yes.

No because I am truly healed in so many aspects of my life today.  There are no more secrets and I am no longer hostage to what happened to me.

Yes because in writing this book, it was the first time I stepped back and saw all the pieces as a whole.  In my recovery walk, I focused on one or a few symptoms at a time, or struggled with different layers of denial and shame.   

true. Moving Beyond Complex Trauma is the whole of my journey in one book.
