Bøker av Athena Tempest Rose

Have you ever wondered what being groomed is, or what it looks like? Or growing up thinking your whole worth was based on what others said about you? The feeling that your only worth was based on whether or not you had sex with your partners? And what does dissociation look like?This book starts out in a state of disorder jumping from topic to topic which is common in those with Complex-PTSD. It will take you on a journey through the author's healing process and why it is so important for her and her family's lives at this time. As the book continues through childhood, Athena allows her dissociative state to take over and works through the first twenty years of her life. She touches on topics that others would be uncomfortable sharing; like getting your first menstrual cycle at an inopportune time; or how suppositories and snow suits don't mix when you're 6 years old. Her journey is not over by a long shot but those first twenty years lays the groundwork for what's coming. She believes it's not what you've been through but how you choose to move forward that allows you to live in a state of positivity and harmony in an already difficult world.
