"How could something that happened so long ago affect me today?" I asked my therapist right after she told me I was suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). How could an assault at six years old be the defining factor in my adult existence?
And with those questions, my life's trajectory changed. I began to search for answers.
This is the story of that journey. A journey that took me deep into past traumas to face memories I'd tried to bury my whole life. A journey that revealed how my trauma was not mine alone but was connected to my parents' and grandparents' traumas. A journey that showed me how this transgenerational trauma had controlled my thoughts, my choices, and my life. And how it now infected my children's lives as well.
This is a story of how I finally broke the cycle of transgenerational trauma and found healing-not only for me but for my children. And now, I share that healing with you. I invite you to travel along with me, practice the exercises at the end of each chapter, and begin your own healing journey from surviving to thriving.

Описание: We live in a traumatic age. Or, perhaps, we should say that trauma appears fundamental to human existence. Over the past few years, especially, we have become more at ease talking about the traumas that impact, affect, and transform us. There is a large and growing literature on trauma all of which demand from readers a measure of emotional and psychological strength. A Perfect Offering brings to readers a variety of deeply personal narratives about traumatic and transformational events. The stories and images collected here include accounts of childhood and adult cancer, surviving terrorist attack, living with the legacy of Residential schools,losing a parent in a plane crash, coping with severe PTSD, living as a blind person in a world built for the sighted, facing the immanent death of a child, finding your way as a trans woman, recording images of war and its victims, surviving sexual assault, and others. A Perfect Offering conveys strength and weakness, failure and recovery, personal experiences and even a measure of universal truths. The book may seem raw, or visceral, but it is deeply personal true. It is written so that all of us can witness, comfort, experience and possibly even live though trauma. The book was born out of trauma. Soon after Harold Heft discovered in January 2014, at the age of 49, that he had an inoperable, malignant brain tumour, he and Peter OBrien and Suzanne Heft started working on this book. Harold died on 23 July 2015, with his personal contribution to this book still in draft form. Several months later, Suzanne and Peter restarted the project in honour of him and others. Some of the contributions in A Perfect Offering may seem shocking and disorienting. Others may seem inspiring and comforting. All are illustrative and compelling. They resonate. There is hard-won wisdom woven through into these stories and images. They are gripping and engaging personal observations on suffering, and adversity, and resilience. Thirty Four contributions, essays, narratives and images. Among the contributors are Jennifer Finney Boylan, trans woman and regular op-ed contributor to The New York Times; Trevor Green, who in 2006, as a soldier, was attacked by an axe-wielding teenager in a tent near Kandahar, Afghanistan, a journalist and author of six books; Charles C. Smith, author of 12 books and founder of Black Perspectives Cultural Program at Regent Park, Toronto; Jules Arita Koostachin, band, member of the Attawapiskat First Nation and editing a volume entitled Children of the Survivors: Intergenerational Resilience and Canadian Residential Schools; Paul Watson, awarded the 1994 Puli]tzer Prize for Spot News Photography, and author of three books; Lotje Soderland suffered a life-threatening brain hemorrhage at the age of 34 which left her unable to read, retain memories or live unassisted; London-based, her film My Beautiful Broken Brain streams on Netflix; and others.

Описание:
The statistics regarding eating disorders are staggering. 30 million people in the U.S. alone suffer from eating disorders and every 62 minutes, a person dies as a direct result of an eating disorder. In fact, there is a higher mortality rate from eating disorders than from any other mental illness.
Co-editors Catherine Brown, a writer, and Christina Tinker, corporate storyteller and courage cultivator, are among the 60% of people who have recovered from eating disorders. To help others who struggle, they have co-edited and contributed to a compilation of essays by women and men who have recovered from eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder.
The book's diverse essays emphasize each writer's journey to recovery, providing hope for individuals suffering with an eating disorder and their loved ones. In addition to these highly personal, vulnerable essays, the book includes informative sections with insights from mental health professionals on topics such as how families can help loved ones affected by eating disorders and males with eating disorders.
A portion of the proceeds of Hope for Recovery: Stories of Healing From Eating Disorders will be donated to local and national eating disorder organizations.
