    About this ebook

    When we know the mechanisms of trauma, it makes us feel empowered and turns our demons into mere shadows cast by our past. This dissertation was part of my training as a Spiritual Counselor, and I offer it to you now in hopes that it will help you, or your client, see the way that childhood trauma affects our whole lives. Included: 1/2h consult w/ Jessie
