I Had a Twin: Disrupting the Cycle of Childhood Trauma

"When my sister took her life, she left me with an open window to her heart."This book tells the story of how my twin sister, and I grew up with many of the same experiences of abuse. While the pain we endured affected us both, the paths we chose were quite different. My sister chose the path that led to suicide. As a result, my path has been given more meaning. Through the insights gleaned from my sister's audio therapy session recordings and written journal entries, and the healing work I have done on my own journey, I am determined to help others begin the healing process that is so important when dealing with their own childhood trauma. I share our story to shine light on the residual effects of trauma and the collateral damage that surfaces when we fail to understand the cycle of abuse, how it impacts our future, and the lives of those we love. When we are willing to come face to face with past wounds and the ways they influence our current reality, we can then take back our authentic power and disrupt the cycle of trauma that has carried on in our families for far too long. In this book, I share how you can eradicate the residual affects of your childhood trauma and free yourself from the shackles that have hindered you from moving beyond them. Reading this book is a bold and courageous step. A necessary step in giving your loved ones the freedom to live their lives unbound to the confines of your painful past.
