Synopsis

Most of us are only starting to become aware of how our foundational years contribute to who we are today. Our childhood environment shapes the foundation for our sense of self, how we feel about the world, and how we relate to others. If we experienced trauma or dysfunction along the way, it likely disrupted the pathways to these fundamental structures.
Understanding our trauma is not about blame, but about understanding, learning, and growing. In most cases, our caregivers did the best they could with the tools they had, often while dealing with external or internal stressors as well. With the world’s increasing understanding of trauma, this paves the way for understanding and growth.
Survivors of childhood family trauma typically go through 6 stages in their path to healing: pre-awareness, uncovering, digging in, healing, understanding, and nurturing.
Using elements from her clinical work, as well as personal experience, Gillis provides support and tips for survivors navigating these 6 stages.
No matter where you are in your journey — only just uncovering, becoming more aware, or supporting a loved one in their process —this book will help.

This book helped me feel validated in the way that my family structure influenced my entire being.
