In Trauma Ruled My Life Until, Dr. Hannah Abadi, a retired academic and prolific researcher, describes being pummeled by PSTD for more than six decades. She explains how psychotherapy with a psychologist and an innovative therapeutic approach with a psychologist specializing in trauma led to healing. Through words, art, and poetry, Abadi eloquently describes her complicated journey - living with PTSD, surviving abandonment, sexual abuse, chronic illnesses, and discovering that her husband was transgendered. She takes the reader through her exceptional process of recovery while experiencing numerous therapeutic interventions. In lay language, she explains each therapeutic approach and its impact. She describes the myriad impacts of PTSD and demonstrates how a dysfunctional mother-child attachment can impair reality and the development of healthy relationships. Abadi cogently shows how and why an intellectual understanding of attachment wounds and traumas may be insufficient to foster recovery. Her courageous battle is a remarkable attestation of how determination, an unwillingness to succumb to obstacles, and grit led to breaking a generational cycle of emotional and physical abuse and trauma. Her book is invaluable for professionals and will give hope and strength to others who suffer from trauma. In Trauma Ruled My Life Until, Dr. Abadi shows why it is important to listen to the healthy voice inside that whispers keep trying because recovery is a process that takes time, patience, and determination.

This poetry book expresses the many journeys of being fully submissive into an unrestricted love. Without hesitation, letting go of any traditional sense of the meaning explaining what is love, or when to feel love, or how to give love, or who is worthy of love because love is meant to be felt unfiltered. In all forms, loving beyond the boundaries of safety, beyond being scared, unsure, hurt, passed over, dismissed, angry, beyond the endless emotional roller coasters.Love is unbothered by the uncertain because it's based on every feeling, confident enough to love completely through all extremes. So in the center of the good times and bad, listen into the moments that sealed a bond or broke a friendship; the moments that are now a memory of truly being open and honest with yourself; the moments of love experiences written for your interpretation; the moments of dedicating love until the very end!
