Childhood Disrupted: How Your Biography Becomes Your Biology and How You Can Heal, by Donna Jackson Nakazawa, will be out in paperback on July 26.
Here's part of a presentation that Donna did:
"For those who have faced childhood trauma, it may feel as if you are just swimming against this impossible current of long ago forces as you try to make your way toward a happy and fulfilling life.
And it may take a major life trauma, a disease, a divorce, certainly the fear of this translating into how one parents their own children and damaging your own children to kind of wake up and say, 'I think I really to do something about this' and often, we may reassess our priorities. We may seek external treatments. And all of that will help.
But really, when I follow these individuals, what I found is that real healing begins understanding this relationship between the past and the present, and going within, and beginning to ask oneself, 'Do I deserve to heal? Am I worth it?'
And answering - 'YEAH!'
And waking up on ones side and deciding to take this journey.
Many people are carrying these neuro-biological inheritances from childhood to adulthood but they are also removing those fingerprints of early biology and waking up to claim the lives they always deserved."
