— Many of us are challenged with chronic physical and mental illness because we have been unable to heal. We do not have to stay in that place, being stuck in our woundedness, because at our core we are spiritual beings with tremendous potential to heal. The gift of peace and thriving, versus just surviving, is actually attainable. There are many documented success stories of people just like you and Donna who have made that transformation. We have the same potential. Our darkest moments can be transformed into our strongest and most passionate parts.
Valeria Teles interviews Donna Donahue — the author of “Witness Awakening: Finding Peace and Healing in the Midst of Childhood Trauma.”
Donna Donahue, writing as, Marie McCarthy is a New Jersey-based psychotherapist. Growing up, she faced repeated sexual trauma that caused an insidious array of symptoms and struggles. She believed she would be a victim for a lifetime. But after 25 years of engaging in her own healing, studying trauma for over a decade, and practicing as a trauma psychotherapist, she is now thriving. In her book, she describes how she walked through pain into well-being, and how you too can release yourself from suffering and acquire the gift of peace. She hopes you’ll join her and stand together as survivors.
You can connect with Marie through her social media options listed below, where she offers a free toolbox of coping skills to acquire comfort, stability and more, along with a calming guided meditation.
