Embodying Hope: Living in Difficult Times With a Difficult Past

ISBN: 9780983903840
251 pages, 5.5″ x 8.5″ paperback

As trauma survivors living in difficult times, we embody hope when we keep moving forward, one stubborn step after another, like walking through steady rain. We also embody hope when we take shelter for protection and rest. Breath is hope. The spark of life that keeps looking for a way to live in the midst of despair, that is hope. Can you find the force of hope in your body right now?

With the help of this book, find stories with new possibilities, take action in the face of difficult events, turn toward powerful emotions, embrace the complexity of your full self, delve into the details of being a body, relate to others with skillful care, and find healing support.

Sonia’s tender, compassionate writings gently lead us along paths to listening inward with open-hearted kindness and embracing the feelings and parts of ourselves we’ve long been encouraged to disregard and/or judge. This heartful collection offers an oasis of healing for our parched souls.—Robyn Posin, Ph.D., author of “Go Only As Fast As Your Slowest Part Feels Safe To Go”
