Description
At the age of eighteen, Beck Thompson faced a future threatened by years of trauma. After being abused by her grandfathers and absent parents, she was left to deal with the aftermath alone. Determined to break free from the trauma, Beck made a pact with herself to unlearn everything it had taught her and relearn everything she could to become 'normal'. This powerful and intimate journey is a raw and honest account of her struggles with childhood trauma, including multiple mental breakdowns.
Despite the challenges she faced, Beck refused to believe that suffering was her only option. Her story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience and recovery. With the support of Associate Professor Dr Judith Howard, this book offers a unique insight into the effects of childhood trauma and the road to healing.
Foreword by Associate Professor Dr Judith Howard, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane Australia.
