Synopsis

This book tells the story of one woman's (Kris') heroic struggle to cope with and normalize abuse from childhood into adult life. It also gives the reader a deep research-based understanding of why childhood and adult abuse or trauma can affect us so much. Dr. Husen weaves into the story his efforts to understand and help as her therapist. Readers connect with Kris' life. This woman's life mirrors own experiences to some degree. Her story as illuminated by the research on trauma gives readers a doctoral level understanding of how our experiences in life and our response to those experiences affect six areas of human development: 1. our ability to concentrate, plan for and reach goals; 2. our ability to access, experience and regulate our emotions; 3. our self perceptions; 4. our relationships with others; 5 our connection with our own bodies; and, 6. our sense of meaning and/or purpose in life.
