Growing into the Gray: Reflections on Transforming Trauma for Women and the World

Adult; Memoir; (Market)

From the microcosm of personal transformation to the macrocosm of global healing, Growing into the Gray is equal parts life story and social prescription. A collection of interwoven evocative reflections on trauma, somatic healing, and the state of the world, it delivers a universal message of profound hope: we can heal. In it, I demystify the meaning of trauma and invite readers to view their lives and our society through a new lens, that of the body, offering a vision for openhearted living in complex times. Much of my expertise is born from lived experience, and I hold nothing back, taking readers deep inside my own story as well as inside current science and ancient wisdom. The book is my call for us all to wake up from the unconscious grip of fear, face and integrate our past wounding, and use the power of our newfound wholeness for the benefit of ourselves, each other, and our precious planet.
