Hi Everyone!
The good news is after seven years, with a five-year break (AKA stall-out), I have finally finished my new book and have titled it:
It's Not About Food, Drugs, or Alcohol:
It's About Healing Complex PTSD
Although my book won't be available to the general public until its launch date on Feb 21st, 2023, I am offering FREE advance reader copies to a limited amount of people this week. Below is a summary of what my book's about and how to qualify to get a free copy this week.
What’s My Book About?
Below is the text from the back cover.
Your Struggle With Food, Weight,
or Substances Is Not Your Fault
It's A Normal Response To Surviving
An Abnormal Childhood
Even though Mary was in long-term recovery with food, severe obesity, drugs, and alcohol and had what most people would consider a successful life— behind closed doors, she still struggled and wondered…
- Why she had so few close friends and had difficulty finding a fulfilling, romantic relationship
- Why she still struggled with food, sleep, and caffeine
- Why she couldn't find the flow and passion she longed for in her career
- Why, even though she was in long-term recovery with food and substances and had maintained a healthy weight for several decades, she felt the need to hide these parts of her past from others
Finally, in mid-life, she discovered the root cause driving these, and her past struggles with food, obesity, and substances was a condition known as Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)—a more severe form of PTSD that developed from her being raised in a chaotic alcoholic home. This discovery sent Mary on a five-year journey where she researched leading experts in the fields of C-PTSD, neuroscience, developmental psychology, adverse childhood experiences, and addiction medicine to find the most effective treatments for optimal healing.
Join Mary as she experiences one mind-blowing revelation after another
as she learns that C-PTSD was operating behind the scenes
sabotaging her weight, recovery, relationships, career,
and health, and learn what she did to heal
Witness Mary go from believing she was weak, a failure, hopeless, and unworthy due to her struggle with food, weight, substances, and relationships, to finally ending these battles by healing the trauma driving them. Discover how she found compassion for what happened to her, released the shame over how she coped, and learned to accept herself just as she is. Learn how healing trauma opened the door for her to forge healthy relationships and finally find her purpose in helping fellow survivors heal and thrive.
