"If this isn't me, then who am I?"
This was a question that author Samala Bygraves would work to unravel after hitting rock bottom. Four months postpartum, Samala reached a terrifying moment; did she want to continue living? What she believed was a breakdown was, in fact, a breakthrough. This moment would set her on a path of transformation, healing, and self-discovery.
This is a story about being cracked open from the inside.
Spiral: A Memoir of healing and unearthing the gifts within complex trauma, by Samala Bygraves, speaks to the rippling effect that unhealed childhood trauma has on the mind, body and soul. The book provides a holistic perspective to addressing and healing trauma, and shows us firsthand how childhood trauma does not stay in the past, but reaches forward and touches everything. Through shared personal stories, Samala shows the incredible wisdom and self-acceptance that can come from facing trauma, and that it is possible to heal and change the trajectory of one's life.
Spiral is raw, heartbreaking, and heart-opening. It's an emotional journey of finding inner peace through transforming the past and healing the present, and it reminds us that we are never alone on the sacred journey of healing.
