Naturally, I would at times experience panic attack symptoms, and would almost always cry. Sometimes slow tears cascading down my cheeks. Other times full-on ugly crying, requiring a pause in the action.

Janyne McConnaughey, Ph.D., retired from a forty-year career in education while healing from the attachment wounding and trauma she experienced as a child. During therapy, she wrote her way to healing and now is redeeming her story by helping others to understand the lifelong effects of childhood trauma and insecure attachment.

Hello Christina! So glad you found connection in Janyne's work. She is most assuredly a brave soul shining a beautiful light of hope. If you are requesting an interview on The Healing Place Podcast, then I am your girl, as I host the podcast. I would love to have you join me on air. I am scheduling guests for the month of August or after and can send you a scheduling link so you can pick a date/time that works best for you. Please reach out to me at info@teriwellbrock.com if interested.

Hello, Jayne. I am very interested in your work. In my book, Let My Legacy Be Love, A Story of Discovery and Transformation: Tracing Adult Issues to Childhood Hurts, I talk about my own story and share my "discoveries" after looking at the stories with curiosity and an openness to a different perspective. You can find out more about it on my website: www.letmylegacybelove.com . If you interview guests, I would love to be considered. On my website, there are samples of previous interviews...

These are the books, therapies and resources I wish I'd known about when I was a family doctor and when I first started getting sick with what would turn out to be a disabling chronic illness. This compilation includes the most helpful resources I’ve found over the past 20 years of learning about the science of adversity, why it's not psychological and how to heal the effects of trauma.

Hi Teri, So glad this list feels helpful - I use resources from it all the time! warmly, Veronique

Thank you so much for this list -- what an incredible resource and one I'll share widely.

Hi Lisa, You're so welcome - glad it feels good to share. I think we need all the helpful resources we can find for our healing journeys. Veronique

So many people are struggling with unhealed, hidden wounds from toxic childhood stress. For some the pain is obvious. Others might look outwardly strong, capable, and in control.

Part I explained “The Principles of Healing.” This part explains why traditional treatments are not usually the best...

So many people are struggling with unhealed, hidden wounds from toxic childhood stress. For some, the pain is obvious. Others might look outwardly strong, capable, and in control. However, unhealed inner wounds cause needless suffering and can lead to a dizzying array of psychological, medical, and functional problems. Fortunately, there is hope for healing—even decades after traumatic wounding from ACEs occurs—enabling us to be 100% there for ourselves, our families, and others we work and...
