As Mindi Kessler, PhD, shares her story of recovery from a difficult childhood she shows us how to face the challenges in our daily lives that arise from childhood trauma, including the need to control everything, an inability to maintain satisfying relationships, and chronic self-criticism. Using her 16 Pillars of Trauma Recovery she invites us to take stock of our lives and commit to doing what it takes to transcend the pain from childhood. Believing that we all have the capability to heal, Kessler challenges us to become cycle breakers-to recover from the past and connect with our soul's purpose.
