You may have seen my blog post announcing my new book, Crash: A Memoir of Overmedication and Healing. Now you’d like to know what the book is about before you consider reading it. Here are a few details:

Crash is about a little girl whose mother disappeared, and no one would tell her where she’d gone.

Crash is about a woman who did everything her doctors told her, and yet she never got well.

Crash is about the woman’s daughter who vowed she’d never be like her mother only to find herself trapped in a similar cycle of overmedication, numerous doctors, and intractable physical and emotional pain.

Crash is a story of one woman’s determination and optimism when it seemed like all of her traditional remedies and supports had failed her.

When all of the other remedies had failed, I looked for another explanation for my pain.

Because I have a deep belief in many forms of healing, I began to embrace a similar path to the one that mythologist and author Michale Meade advocates. Here’s what he as to say about facing your darkness (depression and pain) and healing:

“Wholeness and unity are what all healing seeks, but a genuine transformation requires a descent to the underworld of the soul. There we find that our woundedness is not a static state, but rather a dynamic condition through which we incarnate more fully. In going through the wound the greater self within us is revealed.”

Register here for the book launch on October 13th, 7pm ET on Zoom. Hope to see you there!
