The Memory: A Woman's Path of Recovery from Childhood Trauma

In this intimate memoir, poet Danna Faulds describes her interior journey from the day a detailed memory surfaced of being sexually molested as a child through years of psychotherapy and into a more embodied, engaged, and creative life. A behind-the-scenes look at several client-therapist relationships and the long-term inner work necessary to heal from complex trauma, this book takes readers into therapy sessions, the author’s private journals, and her spiritual practices. Spanning nearly a decade, the memoir chronicles how EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) each contributed to her healing, as did daily yoga, meditation, and writing.
