Pathways to Healing -
Overcoming Childhood Trauma
& Adult Pain of Sibling Estrangement
NEW BOOK
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, 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 were supposed to care for me, so the title, Overcoming Childhood Trauma and Adult Pain of Sibling Estrangement captures some of what the book is about, but there is so much more in there.
​
I also refer to two well-known characters from the bible whose life amplifies the hurt and the victory that comes from sibling estrangement, which is the story of Joseph and Jesus. I explore the comparisons of their life experiences and the beauty that could only be expressed through the pressure that was placed on them. Their stories bring about unconditional expressive love, redemption and forgiveness.
