I'm done! I've just finished a seven-year trek to publish my book, first in paperback, and now as a Kindle eBook.
Go to my Kindle link for a free sample which Amazon has selected to show the whole public in Kindle: "Don't Try This Alone: The Silent Epidemic of Attachment Disorder" - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BN2J4TN
With both published, the saga of discovering how sick with attachment disorder I was, digging deeper and deeper into it -- then climbing back to be healed from the inside out -- is over. What a relief!
I really did have to face pain "from when the sperm hit the egg," and it hurt. A lot. That's why this took so long. It's been like giving birth after an seriously long and grueling gestation. Here's my blog on it: https://attachmentdisorderhealing.com/dtta-Kindle/
I performed with apparent success as an international business gal and opera singer for decades, with no idea I was ill. Suddenly in 2006, I was in divorce from a 27-year marriage to my college sweetheart. Then both my parents died and I had two bad rebound affairs – five life disasters in 18 months.
I came to where my father died and I couldn’t cry.
“You need to have your head examined,” I decided. I saw one therapist who listened helplessly, a second who said “grow up,” then I read enough studies on the incompetence of psychotherapy to quit.
So I opted for do-it-yourself. That was a mistake that almost cost my life.
I wrote Grief Forgiveness letters to my ex and sobbed over my life-long marriage for 18 months. Yet after a week’s relief, intense “break-through” grief about my dad surfaced. I tried to face the dad pain--but the more grief I addressed, the more and deeper layers of emotional pain surfaced.
Then as I wrote letters to my mom, I went back, and back, and back – but where was the bottom, with a mom? For many years, there was no bottom.
"Yet there's hope!" as Amazon concludes. "Kathy’s story also shows: help and healing are out there."
