Pathways to Healing is my journey of recovery from years of experiencing childhood trauma and adult pain from emotional and verbal abuse from the age of 6 years old. As a result, my life was full of rejection, low self-esteem, and feelings of condemnation and periods of depression.

No one wants to talk about abuse because it can take on many different forms, and unfortunately, it can start in our families. No matter how you may have experienced it the pain goes deep. To the point that it can consume your life and you walk around under a dark cloud and unfortunately others see your vulnerability and you get misused over again. I experienced abuse from some of those people who at the time we’re supposed to care for me, so the title, Overcoming Childhood Trauma and Adult Pain of Sibling Estrangement capture some of what the book is about, but there is so much more in there.

Their stories bring about unconditional expressive love, redemption and forgiveness.
