Permission Granted: The Journey from Trauma to Healing

This book is different. "Permission Granted" is meant to be a simple, quiet read to help us understand what it means to live in the aftermath of a traumatic event and to enhance our understanding of what it means to live with the sorrow of personal trauma. We hope to understand why we seem unable to leave the past behind and why we cannot find our way to tomorrow. Trauma is trauma. There is the day before the personal traumatic event and then there is the moment of the traumatic event. What happens between these two moments in time, seemingly changes one's life forever, as tomorrow never seems to come. Trauma is a shapeshifter, it changes all of the time, and when it comes, welcome or not, it always comes to stay. This book is different for it asks the question: 'How do you want to live with this personal traumatic experience?' One way or the other we are all part of the healing journey. We do not ask you to qualify to be here to read this book as we all sit side-by-side in the Circle of Healing as we move towards the journey to healing.
