Hello Everyone!
🌟 Exciting News Alert! 🌟 I’m thrilled to share that I’m a featured author in the upcoming release of “Brave Families, The Ultimate Guide To Long-Lasting Loving Relationships.”
📖✨ My chapter is chapter eight, “Before I Knew What Trauma Was, Breathing Back Into The Safety Someone Gave You”, and I can’t wait for you to read it!Â
You’ll read about my continuing journey growing up in a home shaped by unspoken trauma.
My parents were prisoners of war during WWII. They met in a displaced persons camp and spent five years there waiting for their new lives to begin. Two of my siblings were born there—Helen and George.
I first shared about finally understanding the “whys” of my childhood experience in last year’s Chapter 5 of The Wellness Universe Guide to Complete Self-Care: 25 Tools for Transformation.

Now, I’m writing what comes next.
My upcoming chapter explores the Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study—and the powerful truth that positive childhood experiences can soften even the hardest beginnings. They can regulate stress, create emotional safety, and protect a child from lasting harm.
For me, that protective force had a name.
Helen.
She was 12 years older than me… and she became my buffer.
